    Sleek, stylish, available in multiple colors, and works flawlessly... what else can you ask for? Been using two Nest Gen 1 Thermostats since they were introduced, so when we purchased a new home, we naturally went with another Nest. Easy setup / installation and the new room sensors work like a dream. Highly recommended.

    Easy. Simple. Great.

    I bought my first house this year, it was originally built in 1949 and still had what was probably the original mercury-bulb analog thermostat installed. I was nervous about whether or not something as advanced as a Nest (or any other programmable thermostat) would even be able to work on this system because of how dated it was. I read several online reviews and even watched a few Youtube videos on how the Nest itself worked and how the install went. To my pleasant surprise, the install was incredibly simple--took about 15 minutes and the Nest packaging came with a universal screwdriver (which I've used since) as well as labels for wiring. I've had the thermostat now for about a month, and it's pretty much learned when I'm home and away for work. I don't know how much the thermostat saves me on my energy bill because it was one of the first things I replaced before I even moved in. The only con is the price tag. $250 is a lot for a thermostat. But I got an energy rebate from my electrical utility, which helped a little bit, and I'm sure the cost will make up for itself in the long run. It's definitely a great-get.
