    I wish I could give this a 4.5 rating but I'll round up to 5! I've always loved the Nest learning thermostat and have had the 3rd gen for years as well as the temp sensor! I travel a lot for work so it's always great for me to have it learn my habits as well as do the eco/away mode. And because heat rises, I love that I can put the temp sensor in my bedroom and have the nest use its temperature to keep me cool while I sleep. This new model is BEAUTIFUL!!! Google did a great job with the design and I love it! Highly recommend. My only complaint is that the screen is not as bright as the previous model and takes longer than expected to brighten up so you can't see the settings at a glance as easily as you can when you walk near it but it's not a deal breaker.

    I recently installed the Nest Thermostat in my home, and I’m extremely impressed with its performance. The design is sleek and modern, making it a perfect addition to any room. Setup was a breeze, with clear instructions and easy integration with my existing HVAC system. The best part is how intuitive and intelligent it is. The thermostat learns my habits within days and adjusts the temperature automatically based on my schedule. I love how it saves energy by turning itself down when I’m away, which has already reflected on my energy bill! The remote control feature through the Nest app is incredibly convenient, allowing me to adjust the temperature even when I’m not at home.
