Nice upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well, nice big display. Easily replaced the old generation nest.
I would recommend this to a friendDO NOT BUY, can't turn Eco mode off
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not buy for the looks. Owned multiple Nests over 4 years—this 4th gen is my fifth replacement (warranty + out-of-pocket). Same infuriating issue: Set it to 68°, runs ~15 min, then flips to Eco mode automatically. You can't turn Eco off permanently. The "learning" is useless. I got the $120 ecobee, I can set it and forget it.

Posted .Hey there, BaileyJ. We're sorry to hear you're having trouble with getting the perfect temperature on the Nest Thermostat Gen 4. Here are some troubleshooting steps to help resolve the issue:
1. Disable learning for the temperature schedule: When Auto-Schedule or Smart Schedule is turned on, it learns from the adjustments you make to optimize your schedule. You can manually edit the existing schedule, create an entirely new one, or turn off these learning features.
2. Turn off or adjust Eco Temperature: Your Nest thermostat gives you a temperature range you can select from when you set an Eco Temperature. The Eco Temperature ranges you can choose from are: 40-70°F (4-21°C) for heating mode and 76-90°F (24-32°C) for cooling mode.

Would not purchase again, forces google home app
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.NOt worth the cost for this thermostat. Forces you to use google home app, which is far more complicated than the Nest App. Visually its nicer, and the install is easy. But if you're thinking of spending the money just for a few looks, don't do it. Gen 3 is the way to go

I'd avoid this
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had it for about 8 months. The user interface to get to the settings is absolutely ridiculous. The shiny screen is annoying and hard to see. The device is incredibly fragile and breaks easily. Google home randomly drops the device from its list and you have to set everything up again.

Home Nest thermostat with installation
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I\nPaid for the nest and attending installation of my home thermostat The Best Buy workers were unable to install the service stat in my home, so I returned the service stat and also requested my money back for that I paid for installation. It was a very unpleasant experience.

Skip this is you want Matter integration.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Matter integration is broken. Supposed to easily integrate with other platforms like Apple Home.. could not get it to work at all. Contacted Google for support only to told “the product is in active development”. Instantly returned the Nest and bought an Ecobee. I refuse to pay $300 to be a beta tester.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendFailed Installation - Poor Service
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased the Google Nest Learning Thermostat, after a few days of waiting for my installation date, it was installed. Problem is the installers did a shotty job on the installation.. to heat my residence I have to set it to Cool... and to cool I have to set it to heat. My HVAC system has not turned off since the installation, and when I turn off the device my HVAC still runs. And the soonest they can come back out is 2 weeks later...!!!

Can you call a thermostat beautiful?
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The new fourth generation Nest thermostat is the first big redesign from the original iteration that spanned the entire first three generations. It's a subtle but substantial change, the dial has a much thinner profile and looks much sleeker on the wall than my first-generation Nest. Installation was manageable with good straight forward instructions through the Google Home app. Includes everything you need for installation for the most part however, it is lacking drywall anchors in the hardware pack which is surprising. Those same digital instructions will get it connected to wifi and added to your home group on Google home, the whole process is very streamlined. From there I was immediately able to adjust the temperature target using the app or my voice with google assistant. I think the majority of people will be able to complete this installation themselves, it took me roughly 45min to do in total. This generation also includes a separate temperature sensor that you can place in another room or area of your home and then have it make adjustments based on either the t-stat itself or the extra sensor. Sounds useless, but it's actually quite nice. I put it in the most frequently used room in the house so now when everyone's electronics are going and there is a bunch of extra heat getting pumped out into the room it will still keep things cool. Can set a schedule manually or let it "learn" your habits and do its own thing. I tried to let it learn and I don't think it realized how much I love my a/c, so I just use a manual schedule and unfortunately don't seem to earn many "Eco leafs" for energy efficient choices. Can also let it learn or set home/away routines so you can run it less while you're at work or wherever and then have it kick into comfort mode when your home. Overall, I think this is about as good as smart thermostats get and would definitely recommend checking it out if you're looking to update.
