Customer Ratings & Reviews

The improvement on this from the previous generation is great. The included temperature sensor was a nice bonus as well. I like how the thermostat is now integrated into the Google Home application but I keep catching myself opening the Nest Application so that will take some getting used to. The installation was easy and straight forward. I love the increased screen sized and minimized bezels. If you’re looking to upgrade or your current thermostat is going out, I recommend grabbing this 4th gen thermostat.

Extremely modern thermostat, hundreds of features. Most impressive was the online step by step instructions which made self-installation a breeze.

I’ve been using the Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen) with the Nest Temperature Sensor (2nd gen) in Polished Obsidian, and it’s easily one of the best smart home upgrades I’ve made. After a few days, the thermostat started adjusting temperatures based on my daily habits. No more constantly changing settings it just gets it right.

Our house has 4 AC / furnace units and we have been running those with smart thermostats from the other big player in the market. Decided to give the Nest a shot b/c there are things we don't like about the others. Figured we'd start out with one Nest and if we were convinced we would then change out our remaining 3 thermostats. However, I think we'll be keeping our original thermostats. There are design and programming decisions on the Nest that we just don't understand. First off, the Nest is incredibly difficult to read. Not only is a very thin font used, but the display is so dim that you basically have to have your face right up to it in order to read it. This is not true of the competitor. Second, it can be difficult to tell if the unit is actually running by looking at either the thermostat or the app. The thermostat shows a faint 'glow' to let you know it's running, but for our eyes that glow can be difficult to discern. In the app, you are left to differentiate a very light, pastel gray (not running) with a very light, pastel blue (AC running). We're what you would call middle age with middle age eyes and it's difficult for us to tell. I can't imagine how hard it may be for elderly people. Next, if you go off cycle in terms of changing the temperature, there's no way to 'cancel' the change at some point and have the thermostat return to its regularly scheduled cycle. Why this feature is missing is hard for me to understand. For example, let's say the currently running schedule has the thermostat set for 73 degrees but you're feeling hot so you turn the dial down to 70, then when you start feeling cold there's no way to cancel your change. Yes, you can turn the dial back up to 73 but if you don't remember what the set temperature for the currently running schedule is, you would have to pull out your phone, open the Google Home app and look it up. And, even when you do turn the dial back up to 73, it's not like the thermostat knows that you want it to go back on schedule. It won't. It will only resume the normal schedule at the next scheduled temperature change time. Lastly, I'm not a fan of the Home app. I guess Google wants to have all their smart home devices controlled by a single app. I commend them for this, but the Google Home app is just not a nice app to use.

The device itself is beautiful. Seeing it in person is way better than pictures show. Ease of use is a plus. The only issue I have is the Google Home App. The UI and experience could be better, but for simple actions it is fine.

My partner and I move a lot and we've experienced a lot of different thermostats. I have to say that this is the best, easiest, and most fun experience we've had with a thermostat! Using the Google Home app is a cinch and you can easily switch the thermostat to different sensors in your home so you can get the best temperature where you want it! We'd definitely recommend to all our friends and family!

I really appreciate how it can schedule changes in the temps according to the household schedule. It is saving us money on our electric bill by better controlling our AC usage.

This was easy to install and setup. Its been working flawless since the install learning our home cooling and heating patterns.

great upgrade to the old ones, Loving the second sensor as it really helps cater to specific areas of the house at the right times. The super skinny face is a little bit strange looking from the side with the big base behind it. But looking directly at the unit, it is gorgeous.

Very easy to install. App communicates well through the device. I rarely control the temperature while using this device because it knows when to change the temperature.

Excellent Thermostat, easy to install, easy to configure, and easy to control. The new updated style looks very cool and gives an ultra modern feeling. Likes the Gold color which is a rare find among Google products. The added Temp. sensor is a welcome addition, so that I don't have to run outside to feel the cold/hot in order to get an actual outdoor reading.

The perfect thermostat! The temp sensors are an amazing idea as well. I was also surprised how you can talk to your Google Dots to change the temp. It is SUPER EASY to install as well.

Perfect and looks very clean and sleek. I love the fact you can control temps from the app and also lock the temperature so no one can mess with the thermostat itself.

Over all great thermostat originally got it because my energy company told me to get a smart thermostat. But turns out they sent me one on their side. If it wasnt for that i would have kept. Great smart learning

Purchased to replace an older nest thermostat that wasn’t working so it seemed the furnace was malfunctioning. HVAC guy was puzzled and was proposing very expensive repairs. I sent him away and got this new thermostat that fixed the problem.

Easy to install and looks great glad I made the decision to buy!!!!!!

Works great, the design and options are awesome. I recommend the Google nest 4th gen if it's compatible with your system!

great thermostat. love the sensor for bedroom. works great. would for sure buy again.

Perfect for heat discrepancies in your home. One room gets hotter than the rest. The sensor helps to fix that problem. Would definitely recommend

Looks much better than the 3rd Gen. Had some issues with my 3rd Gen that this one is not giving me!
