    Works as expected and installation was easy. Its great that I do not have to think about turning on/off the A/C or heat. Being able to adjust the temp from my phone is also great. Just be sure to take a picture of the prior thermostat wires if you are planning to install yourself just in case you want to switch back.

    I recently purchased this because the 3rd generation nest was getting long in the tooth. The design is extremely elegent and the operation is very nice. This is a very worthy upgrade to an already great product. Im glad Google offers a Gold version as it goes extremely well with beige/tan/sandy wall colors. I highly recomend this product.

    The installation was much easier than expected. It worked right off the bat. After I put in a simple schedule, it followed the settings. Now it adjusts to outside temperature and whether we are home. It includes another sensor for another section of the house.

    Upgraded from the Nest Gen 3 Learning Thermostat that I bought when it released like 9 years ago. It was great and I never had any issues with it. When I saw this one was being released it was a no brainer for me to upgrade day 1. So far I love it. The thermostat looks great, much better screen. Works with the Google Home app which so far has been flawless. I also love that it came with a Nest Sensor to place somewhere in your home to help even out the temperatures. If you’re buying your first smart thermostat or upgrading from an older one, don’t hesitate.

    The Nest Learning Thermostat is one of the best upgrades I’ve made at home. Setup was easy, and it quickly learned my schedule to keep the house comfortable while saving energy. The included Nest Temperature Sensor is a great bonus—it helps balance out rooms so the whole place feels just right. The polished silver finish looks premium and blends nicely with my décor. Controlling it from my phone or with Google Assistant is super convenient, and the energy reports are a nice touch. Overall, this thermostat and sensor combo is smart, reliable, and well worth the price.
