    Nest needs to listen to buyers

    First off, its overpriced. The directions tell virtually nothing about how this magic box (thermostat) actually works. I guess you're supposed to hook it up and tell it if you're comfortable, it does the rest. If you don't like that, buy something else. It also relies on internet for the phone app to work, even when locally on WiFi.

    I told the sales rep that my ac had zoning he assured me that the nest would work. It didn’t and the 3rd party company you sent to install had no idea what he was doing and he stole one of my original thermostats. He brought it back when questioned. He had no idea how it got in his car. It must have flown in there.

    Horrible product. Installed for 3 months, I hope your wifi doesn't go offline. If so you start all over. Was told as much by Nest customer service. It's not convenient...

    • Brand response from Nest Support
      Posted .

      Hi there, B90046. Thanks for sharing a review about the Nest Learning Thermostat. We understand that having to set up your thermostat again each time your Wi-Fi goes offline can be an inconvenience, and we’ve taken note of this feedback. Meanwhile, you should be able to control your system with the thermostat but not with the app. You can still adjust the temperature with your thermostat to stay comfortable while you troubleshoot, which requires physical access to the device. If you’re not at home, your thermostat will automatically try to reconnect to your Wi-Fi network at regular intervals as long as it has enough battery power.

      If you run into any connectivity issues again, try some workarounds found here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9243422. And if more help is needed, please don’t hesitate to contact us again here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Very frustrated with the NEST overall! It was very easy to install and setup. The learning mode is pretty good, but sometimes it wont let you overide. For instance its heating the house to 68, but i want it warmer so i turn it up. A few minuts later, it turns it back to 68. Support has not been good. I would not buy another one.

    Just a few weeks out of warranty and the nest began to exceed 90 degrees and be so hot to the touch it was alarming. Paid pro to come and troubleshoot. Verdict: it’s junk and google/nest won’t stand behind their product. Lots of similar experiences out there if you do your research.

    Had this product for 2 years. Last 8 months the app is always offline, so i can never use it in the app. Customer service has not fixed the problem in 8 months pretty ridiculous.
