    The new generation Nest thermostat has blown me away with how gorgeous it looks on the wall. I get constant compliments on how beautiful the thermostat looks. Typical smart thermostat features, and I love the included sensor you can place in an area that may run hotter or colder so your thermostat can use that location to heat or cool.

    It's such a huge step from its predecessor, it's quick and the rotating dial is meditation when turning it. Installation was breeze, it took about 30 mins due to inexperienced but if you knew what you were doing, it would take about 15 mins. The design is future proof and it just looks like the cleanest thermostat on the market. Incredible job Google

    The thermostat is easy to control and eorks really well with the second temperature sensor placed upsatirs. App is truly streamlined and simple to use. The only downside is the white cover for obsidian black. I painted my cover black to match and it looks great.

    Looks very modern and is very responsive. Before, at times I would turn on/off the ac or heat and it would take a few seconds for it to especially shut off. With this thermostat it’s instant. Installation took about 5 to 10 mins as I did exactly the way I had wired the previous model. Happy with the purchase and would recommend it.
