This Nest Learning Thermostat is a great upgrade for any home. It’s easy to use, looks modern, and makes controlling the temperature from your phone incredibly convenient. I especially like the included temperature sensor because it helps keep the rooms we actually use comfortable instead of relying only on the temperature near the thermostat. The scheduling and energy-saving features are excellent and help reduce unnecessary heating and cooling. Setup was straightforward, and the Google Home integration works well. Definitely recommend it for anyone wanting better comfort, convenience, and energy efficiency.
We appreciate all the kind words, Hackattack! Happy to have you part of the Nest family.

Massive Upgrade Over the 3rd Gen

I've been a fan of the Nest Thermostat platform for years, and the 4th Gen is a massive upgrade over my old 3rd Gen model. The new design looks fantastic on the wall, the display is noticeably better, and the interface feels much more refined. Installation was straightforward, and adding the included temperature sensor made balancing temperatures throughout the house even easier. Google took an already great product and made meaningful improvements without sacrificing the simplicity that made Nest so popular in the first place. If you've been holding onto a 3rd Gen Nest, this upgrade is absolutely worth it.

I've been using Nest thermostats for years, and this is my third one. I love how easy they are to use and set up. The app makes it simple to adjust the temperature from anywhere, and it keeps my home's cooling exactly where I want it. The sleek, modern design looks great on the wall and blends in with any décor. If you're looking for a smart thermostat that's reliable, user-friendly, and works flawlessly, I highly recommend the Google Nest Thermostat!
Smart and good looking really is the winning combo, JESSICA! Thanks for being part of the Nest family.

I’ve owned every Nest thermostat since the first generation, and this is by far the biggest improvement yet. The bright display is highly customizable and keeps all the familiar Nest features, but in a sleeker, more modern design.
Setup and control now run through the Google Home app rather than the legacy Nest app, so that is important to know before you upgrade. Google is phasing out older Nest models, and this unit is an excellent replacement if you are still using one of those. The included remote sensor is especially helpful in multi-level homes, allowing the system to detect cooler areas, such as a basement, and adjust heating to keep the whole house more comfortable.
Your home just entered the comfort zone, JONATHANV. Thanks for the five stars!

This is an easy to install and easy to use thermostat. It is actually smart and adjusts to your needs. While you need Google Home to set it up and dive deep into some features it also works with Apple Home. You can have Siri adjust the temperature just by asking.
Also the look is amazing
Smart and good looking is the perfect comb. Thanks for your kind words, Djkfisher!

I purchased this to replace my original gen 1 nest thermostat and so glad I did. The display is gorgeous and the inclusion of the temperature sensor is appreciated. My big reason for upgrading was the Matter/homekit integration. Despite the original nest being a great device I’ve always wanted it in my Apple home and now with the fourth generation it is linked up and works great. The original nest did not work with temperature sensors and now I can have the thermostat switch to the bedroom sensor at night, love this. Other features worth mentioning that have been impressive are dynamic farsight, and natural cooling. All in all this was a great upgrade for me and I see myself using this thermostat another 10+ years like I did with the original

The Google Nest Thermostat (4th Generation) is an excellent smart thermostat that combines affordability, sleek design, and energy efficiency. While it lacks some of the advanced features of the Nest Learning Thermostat, it still delivers smart home convenience and cost savings. It features a modern, minimalist design with a mirrored display and a touch-sensitive side panel for controls. Unlike the Learning Thermostat’s rotating dial, you navigate settings with taps and swipes. It comes in multiple colors to match your home decor and has a premium look for its price.
Thank you for the five star review, SamratS. Happy you're part of the Nest fam!

I upgraded from a Honeywell Lyric thermostat and I must say this was a great investment. It's visually stunning and I love having the extra temperature sensor to help regulate during the day when I'm working in my office that is frequently 5-10 degrees different than the rest of the home. I also love the integration with the google home app and widget, so it's easy to access my settings and make quick on the fly adjustments with my Pixel phone. My family also likes the presence feature to just walk by and it shows current conditions outside as well. Still pretty pricey, but keep an eye out for deals and I would recommend picking this up.

Personally I think the Google Nest (4th Gen) Thermostat is the best on the market - it's intuitive, beautiful easy to ready display and it memorizes your habits without having to be a tech wiz to program it.
Brains and beauty are the perfect duo, Benson. Thanks for the five stars!

Easy to install, love knowing the outdoor temperature. Also, the ability to have the temperature sensor in a different room is amazing!! I have a second thermostat that I’d love to replace with this as well
The only thing I didn’t like is the plate that goes behind the thermostat is really large and takes away from the sleekness of the thermostat itself.

I love the thermostat. It works very nicely. Very easy to install. In fact, it took me no less than 10 minutes to finish. Love the big numbers works well with my iPhone or at the device itself. I would highly recommend this to anybody that’s needing a new thermostat.
Happy to hear you had a great experience, Goodcatholic. Here’s to always having the perfect temperature!

This is my first ever smart thermostat and it's fantastic. The install was very easy and quick. The polished obsidian looks amazing and has a nice clear finish. I will definitely be getting another for the upstairs thermostat. The price is a little steep but worth the investment.
Welcome to the Nest Thermostat fam, Luis! Comfort and style go hand in hand — so glad your thermostat's maiden voyage has been a success. Here's to many years together!

Being a non-handy new home-owner I had it in my head that replacing my legacy smart thermostats - which I could never get to work properly - would require the help of a professional so I just kept putting it off and suffering the cost and comfort consequences. Finally, seeing the headlines about the 4th gen Nest got me to do a quick google and sure enough it seemed my wiring would be compatible AND that I could even do it myself.
So I bought one Nest, followed the instructions and within maybe 35 minutes had it up and running. It was so easy to install, and also to program! The very next day I bought my second one (which I was able to install in at most 15 minutes). Plus two sensors. Two weeks in, everything is working exactly as it should. And they look beautiful and the weather forecast display is genuinely useful. Tremendous!
Glad the maiden voyage of your Nest thermostat was smooth sailing, SANYC. Thanks for being part of the Nest fam!

The installation took less than 30 minutes, and it was compatible with my system which was a concern of mine going in. It’s been working great, and setting schedules in the app has been amazing! No more sweating while asleep, and no more waking up cold either!
