    Easy Set Up

    Replaced a 15 year old standard thermostat. Instructions from website were easy to follow plus the sticker tags for the wires made it simple to figure out where they were to be installed in the Nest thermostat. After that it was a simple snap-in of the unit and configuration with the iOS app. WiFi connection etc went without a hitch and then the auto set up of the thermostat itself was pretty straightforward by just following the prompts on the Nest screen. Been using it for several months now and our electric bill has definitely gone down!

    Cool factor, cheap, easily scratched screen.

    As a huge Google fan, I'll say for the most part I'm pleased with this product. The features and app are very well thought out. This thermostat is really cool, and easy to use. Looks great, feels solid, and add cool factor to a typically dull item. My biggest complaint is how easily the screen is finley scratched. Right after installing it, I wiped it down with a clean microfiber cloth and the screen was instantly covered in micro scratches. Not something I expect from a 250 dollar thermostat. Even the cheapest cellphones on the market have corning's glass that doesn't scratch as easy as this. With it being so easy to scratch, makes me wonder how cheap this thing really is.

    Saves a ton on electric bills

    I live in the desert, and that means that the AC runs for 9 months of the year. Being able to control my thermostat from my phone means no more turning around half way to work to turn the AC off because I forgot as I was leaving the house. The learning feature is pretty self explanatory, it learns your habits and after a few weeks it's actually pretty acurate. Don't be fooled by the steep price tag (steep considering it's a thermostat) it pays for itself in a few months. Several of my fiends have them and one said it paid off in two months, another said it took about 6 months. But the view is unanimous: it saves money immediately, and even more over the long run.

    Like I said in the title the biggest selling point for me was that I don't have to go to the thermostat to change the temperature. It's been a pretty seamless experience. quite happy.

    The best purchase ever

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Easy to set up, easy to install and awesome for savings, this thermostat has revolutionized the way how we operate the house temperature, it learns what you like and you like it, you can controlled from anywhere and anytime. You can set up temp. With time in advance and comeback to your house with the temp you always wanted to live with, I also added the 3 sensor package, with made it even much smarter.

    Just installed and already love it

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This was super easy to install and we are already loving that we can control the temps via the app(which was also easy to download and utilize). Our previous programmable thermostat only let us program temps by the whole week and weekends. We love that this has the flexibility of programming each day, individually. As stated, I also like the remote access. This will be great for vacations - we can turn it off or very low but still have it at a good temp before walking back in the door. Finally I like that it tells you the outside temp and that it lets you know the temp at which you get the most energy efficiency. Looking forward to the added savings.

    I love my Nest Thermostat

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Nest thermostat was my first foray into the smart home a few years ago. This is a great product that's simple to use. The best thing is the fact that you can control the temperature from your phone or by using Google Home or Alexa. No longer do I have to get up from my couch while watching TV to go to the other room and change the thermostat, I can just tell Google to do it! Other than that, the thermostat also learns your routines so it becomes smart about when to turn on or off. Definitely, a worthwhile investment, especially if your energy company has rebates on it!

    I originally bought a Honeywell with color display by could not install due to my system not having a "C" wire. This one installed I just about 10 minutes. Works great!

    A money saver

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this one (and the basic/less expensive one) for my new house which had old thermostats. I've previously used the more basic google nest which didn't require having to have a separate nest app to install. This more expensive one isn't bad. Overall, I believe these smart thermostats are better than the old school ones. The reason I have this one is it was the last one on the shelf, in addition to the cheaper one. I prefer the cheaper one since you can install and use it straight from the google home app. This one you have to get the separate "nest" app, then connect it to your google home app. THEN you can use it from you google home app. Overall, at the end of the day, this has already saved me on my electric bill. My older thermostat just wasn't calibrated correctly, which resulted in the system constantly blowing heat into the house. Installing this I can already see it will pay for itself in a months' time, given the energy consumption of the previous thermostat. If you have some old thermostat, I'd highly suggest these smart thermostats since they have better sensors for determining the temperature, and ease of use from your phone. AND, they could save you alot of money on your electricity bill each month like in my case.

    This device is easy to install, easy to operate, and has a great app interface. I've tried other thermostats, and none compare to the ease nad slick look of the Nest.

    This thermostat has been amazing so far. Like other Google products, setup was super simple, which is a huge plus when you’re not that tech savvy. I’ve been extremely pleased with the “learning” capabilities as well. Would definitely recommend!

    I love it. It was super easy to install. I did it in 30 mins, and it would have taken less had I not had a faulty wire at home. At any rate, it was super easy. It's so convenient when I wake up in the middle of the night and it's too warm so I just roll over, grab my cell phone, and turn the heat down. I also love auto away and the self learning features.

    Great Thermostat!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Purchased this Nest Thermostat to replace an aging not-working-well programmable thermostat. Plus the $50 gift card incentive helped with the decision. This is a great product and am very satisfied with it. Can check the thermostat from my phone and make sure the family turned it down or set it to away when they left, and I can turn it back up when they are set to return or come home from school. I know it will "learn" our habits eventually but I've only had it installed for 2 days so haven't experienced that aspect of it yet.
