    The thermostat looks very nice, easy to install and use. I don't recommend it because I had already heard that they get damaged very quickly and for the price it is very delicate and gets damaged very quickly. I've only had it for 3 months and it's already damaged.

    Third home that I've installed NEST thermostats in. I find them very easy to install and the ability to remotely control them is phenominal. I like the sleek new appearance of the new 4th gen ones, too.

    Very easy to set up and install. Had another smart thermostat before this one the old one lasted about 2 yrs and died. Did some research and found this to be the one for me. It does have smart features but does not have one of the multiple talking assistants. Was kind of a down fall for me but had another talking assistant already in the house juat relocated it for timers in kitchen. Over all a great unit and seems to be working like it should I havent set up all the schedules you can do on it for eco but will do that soon.
