Customer Ratings & Reviews

The new Google Nest Learning Thermostat is a much needed upgrade to the most popular smart thermostat available. Now in its fourth generation, Google has updated the tried and true design with slim bezels and a polished, color matched display available in three tones of gold, silver or obsidian. I opted for gold, as it looked good from the marketing photos and would match well with a variety of finishes in our home. In the box Google provides all necessary mounting hardware, a 2nd Generation Temperature Sensor, optional cover plate, and the Nest Learning Thermostat. After unboxing, I immediately noticed how reflective the face of the thermostat was. Though the brilliant gold finish looked striking, I was curious if this affected visibility of the display. Replacing my old Nest thermostat was a breeze, but even so Google has helpful installation animations to assist you. I recommend you take a photo of your thermostat wiring before you disconnect your old one just in case you mis label a wire. In my case I did not have a common wire to provide power, but fortunately it is not required for the 4th Generation Nest Learning Thermostat. After connecting it to WiFi and a brief update, the thermostat was ready to use. As suspected, the highly reflective face made the display difficult to read under certain lighting and axis. It would have been great if they applied some sort of anti-reflective coating or offered a matte finish instead of the mirror finished display. After a few days I got accustom to it, but the thermostat is a great example of form over function. Though the face is considerably larger than the old Nest, the display does not actually go edge to edge and is only marginally larger. The new Farsight has more customization, allowing four different face options including animated weather conditions. Though I did find it cool that it can provide information beyond just the current and set temperature, I usually need to know the current or set temperature when approaching a thermostat. I have owned a few Nest thermostats over the years, and I have always appreciated their design, simplicity, and functionality. After Google acquired Nest, Nest products have not maintained their strong support of the Apple ecosystem and unfortunately I have started to avoid Google products as a result. With the latest iteration, Google has added Matter support enabling cross platform integration and finally for Apple users this brings with it HomeKit. Though limited to adjusted basic HVAC modes and setting temperature, it is generally all that is needed and is a welcome addition to HomeKit. Of course this is a learning thermostat, so naturally it learned our habits and set its own schedule after a few days. Just as previous versions, the thermostat can even use multiple temperature sensors placed throughout your home and Google even includes one now. The Google Nest Learning Thermostat is a good iteration to the original smart thermostat, providing a refreshed design and finally better integration making it easy to recommend over the previous generation. If you don’t currently have a smart thermostat and you like the striking design, the Nest Learning Thermostat is a great choice.

—------- Summary —----------- You cannot go wrong with this gorgeous and super smart thermostat! If you can afford it, get it! Easy guided setup and installation. Set and forget - All the smart features will take over from there, including safety features that will protect your AC. You can monitor and control it remotely. It learns your schedule and temperature preferences, adjusting them to keep you comfortable while saving energy and money. Its new redesigned screen is just gorgeous, like a piece of jewelry for your home, and it is more intuitive than previous generations and than its competitors. And while all previous generations of the Nest Thermostats could only be controlled from the Google Home app (or the older Nest app), this 4th gen can now also be controlled from Apple’s Home app! This is a winner! —------- Details —-------- I used to have a Nest 2nd generation and was overall happy with it. But the main thing it lacked from my point of view was the ability to connect other temperature sensors. Without them, the only temperature the thermostat accurately read was where the thermostat was located. That meant that our other rooms did not quite reach the desired temperatures. Or one room ended up a lot hotter or colder than a different room. I believe the 3rd gen of the Nest thermostat added the ability to connect to temperature sensors. And now this 4th gen comes with one temperature sensor included and it’s fully redesigned, making it a no brainer to buy! — The Good stuff — Appearance - You can’t get any other thermostat that looks this amazing. Period. Intuitiveness - Given the display is bigger than before, it can now display more information. There are currently 4 faces you can choose from (what they are calling “Farsight”). For example, you can choose to display a digital or analog clock, or the outside temperature. But my personal favorite is the default one where it displays two big numbers: the top one being the current indoor temperature, and the lower one show the temperature you the thermostat is set to reach. In previous generations, you only saw one number and it was Not intuitive to know whether that was the current temperature (it wasn’t!), or the temperature you want to reach. Now it’s very obvious. It also includes the smaller word “Indoor” followed by the indoor temperature in big numbers, and then either the words “Cool set to” or “Cooling to” followed by the desired temperature the thermostat is set to reach. No more guesswork! Easy setup - Adding it to the Google Home app was surprisingly easy. I was not a fan of the Google Home app interface. I was still using the older Nest app which I found super intuitive. But this new 4th gen no longer works in the old Nest app, so I was a bit worried it would be hard to setup. Fortunately, I had the pleasant surprise that once I clicked on “Add Device” and scanned the Nest Thermostat barcode, the instructions were very easy to follow and once I finished setting it up, the thermostat started working without any issue! Easy installation - As part of the setup, it tells you exactly how to install it. While it’s easy to know what to do thanks to the guided setup and the overall design of the thermostat, the difficult part can be the cables that come out of the wall that are meant to be plugged into the thermostat. They are just very stiff so they can be difficult to bend and insert into the thermostat. Anyone handy can easily do it. Someone that isn’t handy can still do it but make sure to have one of those long nose pliers so you can more easily bend and insert those cables into the thermostat. For those upgrading from a previous generation of the Nest thermostat, I’m happy to report that I was able to reuse the wall holes that held my Nest Thermostat 2nd gen! Ability to watch the usage history including the current day, possibly in real time! While I was able to see the usage history (when the AC was on) in my older 2nd gen Nest Thermostat, it was delayed by a day. And I could only see the history of the past 10 days. Surprisingly, the few times I wanted to see the usage history, I wished I could see what happened the day of. Now I am able to do this! And you can see the history of up to the last 30 days! Ability to connect to Apple’s Home app through “Matter” - This is only important, very important for some, for those that are fully integrated into the Apple’s Home ecosystem. Something to know is that, as of today, you still need to do the initial setup through the Google Home app. But once completed, you can either use the Google Home app or use the Nest Thermostat to get a “Scan Code” (Settings -> Matter -> Link another app -> Scan Code) which you can then scan through your Apple’s Home app and… Voila, you’ll be able to control your awesome Nest Thermostat 4th gen form there and forget about Google Home (if that’s what you prefer) Ability to “Hold” the temperature - I don’t know if this is new in the 4th generation or if it already existed on the 3rd gen, but it did Not exist in the 2nd gen. This feature allows you to hold the current temperature for a specific amount of time (say 2 hours). This can be very handy if you are at home for a random reason or working, and you want to make sure that the current schedule doesn’t change the temperature automatically. Well lit screen that can be seen from far away - There are some reviewers reporting their Nest Thermostat’s screen is very dim. I didn’t find it that way at all. I can certainly say it is very reflective. I had a hard time taking pictures without my hands or my face being reflected on them! So, maybe if your thermostat is placed with direct sunlight you might have an issue seeing what’s on the screen. In my case, the thermostats are not placed near the sunlight. I am able to see the indoor and currently set temperature from afar. — Things to improve — Setup: It did Not import anything from the older Nest Thermostat I was replacing. I would have expected for the settings to get imported, such as the Eco Temperatures, and the current schedule. It doesn’t change color to bright blue when cooling or bright red when heating. I was so used to those huge visual queues letting me know the AC was on. Now, the hint is more subtle both in the thermostat display and in the Google Home app. But the huge temperature letters telling me the current temp and the set temp make up for it

With the busy lives that we lead it's nice to have a smart thermostat that can adjust to your schedule. This one not only looks cool but so far seems to function well. If you're an Android user this will integrate well into your Google home ecosystem. One thing about it is that you can control everything from your phone from schedules to geofence so that it cools your house when you want it to or when it senses you are close. With a geofence enabled it's nice from a cost savings perspective if you're going to be away from home it will adjust the settings to raise the temperature so you're not cooling the home while you are not in it. It also has a motion sensor so it notices when you walk by or when you make adjustments it learns your patterns. Total time for installation and configuration was probably for me about 30 minutes. Having said that the installation was not as simple or as easy as I anticipated. Out of the box the instructions were very vague and I wish it had come with a bit more information in the quick setup manual. Knowing what I know now I would have done the following instead of the way I did set it up. - Plug in the thermostat via USB-C to power it on - Open Google home to begin the setup process by adding the device - Scan the QR code on the back of the device to enable it and then walk through the configuration via the Google home app - Then mount it to the wall I made the mistake of actually installing it and attaching it to the wall before I had written down the six-digit code on the back or taking a picture of the QR code. If you do that first then you can plug it in to power it on and complete the configuration. After a week's worth of use I do like the aesthetics of the thermostat as well as the ability to make any adjustments via the Google home app. The cost savings aren't know just yet but I know that there are various eco modes that will reduce usage to save money and it will provide feedback via the app. I also like that it does come with the additional sensor which I have placed in one of the rooms in my home that tends to get the warmest so that it will regulate temperatures based off of the additional sensor.

I recently bought the Google Nest Thermostat from Best Buy and I’m honestly really impressed. Installation was straightforward, and the setup through the app was quick and easy. The interface is clean and simple, and I love being able to control the temperature right from my phone. It works flawlessly—keeps my home at the perfect temperature and adjusts quickly when I make changes. The energy-saving features are a big plus too, and I’ve already noticed it running more efficiently than my old thermostat. Overall, it looks great, performs even better, and was definitely worth the purchase. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a smart thermostat that actually delivers.

As we all know in this day and age of out-of-control inflation, high gas and grocery prices amongst most other things, stuff isn’t cheap; especially not energy costs. In my opinion, investing in things that have been proven to cut costs and stop bleeding money out every orifice is a no-brainer. Energy is unequivocally one of those necessary things in today’s technology laden world. That’s why, in our 4k square foot, two story house with an ADU and three thermostats, having smart thermostats you can adjust and monitor remotely while encompassing local weather conditions, occupancy, etc. has always been a priority upgrade since we bought our house about a year ago. We already had Google Nest thermostats on two of our three existing thermostats and were in the market for the last one when the latest 4th generation one was recently released. One of the things that caught my attention with the new model was that it comes with a separate temperature sensor to monitor a separate area within the same heating/cooling zone. We always had one area that was a different temperature because the thermostat is located in our master bedroom therefore the thermostat had no idea the other area was approximately 2-3 hotter or cooler compared to what the reading was. Having the additional and separate temperature sensor allows the Nest to adjust the temperature accordingly to ensure all areas in that zone are covered and not just the area the thermostat is installed. Regarding the installation, it was fairly simple since we do own a newer home however the new Google Nest tried to cover all options with this model’s wiring schematics and will easily walk you through the installation process through the Google Home application on your smart device. Specifically, mine only needed four wires to connect and I was up and running after one software update and quickly syncing the new thermostat to my account. I selected the room where the thermostat would be installed as well as the room where the separate temperature sensor was being placed. One thing I had to get used to was the screen itself which is aesthetically futuristic looking however is very glossy and concave which is very reflective of light and can be hard to see at times when windows and lights are in the room. Other than that, the large, borderless screen is very responsive and provides most, if not all, features and adjustments directly on the screen versus having to pull your phone out. I also like being able to rotate the dial to adjust the temperature versus a side touch panel, like on their other models, which has its own learning curve. After installation, the Google Home app walked me through money saving suggestions and tips including learning my routines and syncing my other Google devices to the account so, using my location and phone, it knew when I was home or away. Some other useful features are the System Health Monitor that can sense and alert you of many issues before they become bigger problem, Energy Shift from Nest Renew which can automatically shift energy use to cheaper times and ensuring your system isn’t running while outside temperatures are better that what you have thermostat set to all of which will save you money. One feature I’m surprised wasn’t included on the Nest Thermostat was a built-in microphone for voice controls which I thought would be convenient if I wanted to adjust the temperature while lying in bed without having to get my phone out. However, you can still use other voice-controlled devices, such as speakers and phones, to access the Google Assistant and make those adjustments. There is much more technology built in to the latest 4th generation Nest learning thermostat compared to its predecessor and other less-costly models however, after using it for several days, I would suggest at least having one of the learning thermostats in your home or office just to take advantage of what the software can do. Ultimately, all of these features have been proven to save you money, paying for itself in a relatively short amount of time, and would definitely recommend it in today’s economic downturn and whatever happens in the future.

Honestly, upgrading to the 4th Gen Nest was worth every penny. The borderless display pops way more than the older models, making it super easy to read from across the room. Installation took maybe 15 minutes, and pairing it with the included temperature sensor completely fixed the hot spot in our upstairs bedroom. The real win has been on the energy bills, though. Setting up the smart scheduling and auto-away features cut down our AC usage noticeably during the brutal summer heat peaks. The app gives clear feedback on energy savings, so you're not guessing whether your settings are actually making a difference. If you want a thermostat that looks great, handles multi-room temps seamlessly, and keeps your summer cooling costs from spiraling, this one is an absolute slam dunk.

I’ve been using the Nest 4th Generation Thermostat for a while now, and overall it’s a solid upgrade. The design is sleek and modern, and the display looks great on the wall. Setup was fairly easy, and once it starts learning your schedule, it does a good job of adjusting temperatures automatically and helping save energy. I really like the Google Home integration and the included temperature sensor, which helps balance comfort across rooms. That said, the price is on the higher side, and the switch to the Google Home app can feel less intuitive than the old Nest app. Overall, it’s a great smart thermostat if you’re already in the Google ecosystem and want a stylish, hands-off way to manage your home’s temperature.

Decided to upgrade from a Nest 3rd generation to a 4th generation. The 4th generation Thermostat is much smarter and displays more information on the screen. You also have more programming options to meet your requirements. It also comes with a separate temp sensor that you can place elsewhere in your home. The second sensor helps the Thermostat figure ideal settings. The sensor is small and inconspicuous. Aside from all great functionality it looks real good on your wall.

The Nest Learning Thermostat 4th generation is a great smart thermostat that is packed with energy saving features! This is my first Nest thermostat as I heavily use the Apple Home app, and the previous Nest Learning Thermostat did not support integration with Apple Home. Thanks to Matter, this thermostat now natively works in the Apple Home app. While this thermostat does support the Apple Home app via Matter, there is one caveat to be aware of. My previous thermostat that had native Apple HomeKit support had the ability to set comfort settings through automations in the Apple Home app (Home, Away, Sleep, etc). Nest does not appear to support setting temperature presets/comfort settings through the Matter integration. So, while I can set an automation in Apple Home to adjust the Nest to a specific heating or cooling temperature (or auto heat/cool mode with a temperature range), there is not an option via Matter to set the thermostat to Eco mode or other temperature presets. It is disappointing that temperature presets cannot be set via Matter. With that capability, the thermostat would automatically be set at the right heating or cooling temperature based on whether the thermostat is set to heating or cooling mode. I do not want to use my thermostat in auto heat/cool mode and prefer to set the mode manually depending on the time of year. While the Matter integration does not support setting temperature presets like Eco mode, you can set up auto home and away in the Google Home app. This can put the thermostat in Eco mode when all household members have left, and it can take the thermostat out of Eco mode when the first person returns home. While I would like to be able to do this in the Apple Home app, it has worked well so far through the Google Home app. As far as looks go, this thermostat has a very sleek design which looks premium and modern. It is really nice that the thermostat turns like a dial to adjust the temperature up and down. This is very convenient. My previous thermostat had a touch screen which required multiple taps to adjust the temperature. Being able to adjust with the dial is faster and more convenient. This thermostat is very responsive when making temperature changes, which is great. It also has a lot of features and intelligence when it comes to saving as much energy as possible while still keeping you comfortable. It monitors outdoor temperatures and can make adjustments to cooling and heating to avoid wasting energy and help you save money. When you set a certain temperature, the Google Home app will also tell you how long it thinks it will take to reach the desired temperature. There is also an Activity tab in the Google Home app which is very helpful and shows you the history of temperature changes on the thermostat. Overall, this is a great smart thermostat with a wide range of features and a great design! And, I am hoping that over time, Google will add more capabilities to the Matter integration to allow for more customization outside of the Google Home app.

I've been using previous generation Nest thermostats for over 5 years and love the control and data that I get about my home heating and cooling. I was excited to compare the latest generation to the Nest Learning Thermostat. There are a lot of great new features and iterations that make this the best smart thermostat that you can buy. Nest made the biggest change every to their now iconic design, mounting a frisbee on pedestal: I don't love the new look but I do like the large screen and minimal bezel. There is a host of new "farsight" options so you can customize the details you see at a glance as you walk. I do wish it allowed for a little more customization, but picking one of four faces in really nice. I also like that it comes out of the box with a temperature sensor. The gen 2 temperature sensor seems pretty similar in functionality (I couldn't find any difference) to the original, but in a more rounded and overall aesthetically pleasing shape. The update I really like is that I can set the thermostat to regulate temperature based on an average of my sensors and the temp at the thermostat (in any configuration of multiple sensors including or excluding the sensor). One week of use is not nearly enough to really gauge just how much "smarter" it is, especially when it was nice enough to be off all but one day of that week. My initial tour is that there are a lot of great features and functionality: I wish that they had stuck to a more conventional Nest Thermostat look instead of the big departure, but its worth the trade off.

I recently upgraded to the 4th Generation Google Nest Learning Thermostat. Coming from the earlier generation learning thermostat, I was pleasantly surprised with the new look. The installation was straightforward, just like previous generations. The package includes everything you need, including a remote temperature sensor, and the Nest app walks you through the entire process. I’m no HVAC wizard, but I had it up and running in about 20 minutes. Switching the wires over was a breeze. You won’t be able to use a previous generation base, so plan on removing everything down to the wires. Wires and holes lined up and compatibility wasn’t an issue. The app even checks your system compatibility before you start, which is a nice touch. The build quality of the new Nest thermostat is unsurprisingly top-notch. It feels solid and premium, with a beautiful glass display that’s both modern and durable. The display is larger than previous generations, but it’s still compact and looks amazing. The materials used are high-quality, and it feels built to last. Overall, the 4th Generation Google Nest Learning Thermostat is a fantastic upgrade. For me, it’s worth the price, especially considering the advanced features, premium build quality, and sleek design. If you’re looking to make your home smarter and potentially more energy-efficient, this thermostat is a must-have.

I love this thermostat, it was an upgrade from Gen 3. the temp sensor is awesome because the base system is in a room with ambient temps different from the rest of the house and the room is small so it reaches the set temp faster. With the temp sensor I can place in a more common area and the thermostat operates on the temps in that location rather than the small room. All that without having to relocate the base unit. I installed the Nest myself and it took 15mins for install and setup. I recommend installing the associated app "google home" first as it walks you through each step of the install & setup in detail with very easy to follow instructions & visuals. The NEST learns your trends quickly and auto adjust accordingly but with the app you can make ad hoc adjustment quickly and easily. I cannot express how much I love this thermostat, it is well worth the price and you will see results on you energy bill.

Easy to install and get going. Display is large and very elegant. Weather intelligence feature is great for having a comfortable temperature in the home. The new capability of this 4th gen thermostat of enabling us to select the average of several temperature sensor readings is useful for balancing the temperature in different rooms.

I've always loved smart home technology, but the Google Nest Learning Thermostat (4th Gen) is one of those rare products that genuinely makes me appreciate how far technology has come. It's beautiful, intelligent, thoughtfully designed, and turns something as ordinary as controlling your home's temperature into a surprisingly premium experience. First, the design is absolutely stunning. The edge-to-edge display, polished metal finish, and elegant curved glass make this thermostat look more like a piece of modern art than a household appliance. Google clearly put tremendous attention into the details. It's minimalistic without being boring, futuristic without looking out of place, and easily one of the most attractive smart home devices I've seen. The Dynamic Farsight feature is particularly impressive. The display responds to your presence, showing useful information from across the room and revealing additional details as you approach. Being able to customize it to display the temperature, weather, or clock is a wonderful touch. It's the kind of feature that might sound unnecessary on paper but makes the product feel incredibly polished. The interface is another highlight. I love that Google kept the iconic rotating ring instead of replacing everything with a touchscreen. There's something satisfying about interacting with a physical control that's responsive, intuitive, and beautifully engineered. The combination of traditional tactile controls and a modern digital interface feels just right. What really makes this thermostat special, though, is the intelligence behind it. Rather than simply following a rigid schedule, the Nest learns your temperature preferences and routines over time. Smart Schedule and Adaptive Eco are excellent examples of technology working to make everyday life more convenient while potentially reducing unnecessary energy consumption. I especially appreciate the idea that a thermostat should adapt to how you live instead of forcing you to constantly manage it. The integration with the Google Home ecosystem is another major advantage. Being able to manage temperature settings remotely, review schedules, and access intelligent features from a single app is exactly what I want from a connected home. Smart home technology should simplify everyday tasks, and this thermostat is clearly designed around that philosophy. Another thoughtful inclusion is the Nest Temperature Sensor that comes in the box. This is particularly useful because the temperature near your thermostat isn't necessarily representative of the entire home. Having the flexibility to prioritize comfort in another room is a meaningful improvement over a conventional thermostat. I also appreciate Google's attention to the smaller details, from the customizable display to the system monitoring capabilities and energy-saving suggestions. None of these features alone completely reinvents home climate control, but together they create an experience that feels significantly more sophisticated than simply turning the AC on and off. Is it perfect? As with many smart home upgrades, installation and HVAC compatibility deserve careful attention. I would strongly recommend checking your existing wiring and system compatibility before purchasing, especially if you're replacing an older thermostat. It's also a premium-priced product, so someone who only wants basic temperature control might find a less expensive thermostat perfectly adequate. But that's not why you buy a product like this. You buy it because you appreciate excellent design, thoughtful engineering, and technology that makes everyday life a little more enjoyable. You buy it because you want a smart home that actually feels smart. My final verdict: The Nest Learning Thermostat (4th Gen) is an outstanding example of what happens when beautiful industrial design meets genuinely useful technology. It takes one of the most overlooked devices in a home and transforms it into something you'll actually enjoy interacting with. It's elegant, capable, and packed with thoughtful features. I absolutely love it, and I would enthusiastically recommend it to anyone who wants to bring their home's climate control into the modern era. Five stars. Easily.
