Customer Ratings & Reviews

I installed four Nest Protects a few months ago and have been incredibly impressed thus far. PROS: - Easy installation. Everything you need is included in the box. After following a few basic steps in the Nest app, you use the included mounting plate to place the unit anywhere on your ceiling or wall. - The Pathlight is great for when you wake up late at night and don't want to turn on a light. - After six months of use, no false alarms. When I leave something on the stove or in the oven too long, the Nest Protect has detected the excess smoke every time. - Great integration with the Nest smartphone app. I love being able to get alerts from the Nest Protect units from anywhere in the world. - Seemingly great battery life. After six months of use, all four of my Nest Protects still report a "good" battery level. CONS: - None! The Nest Protect is well worth the price of admission, if only for the peace of mind. Highly recommended!

Easy mechanical install and setup with wifi was very simple. It is surprisingly useful at night in dark by lighting up when you are near the detector. The only minor improvements would be less lag on the historical data, Monday's data shows up on Wednesday and show the ppm CO level measured.

Easy to install, works good with Nest App and if purchase more then one it will interact with each other. Does a daily checkup to make sure things are working and give status of battery life

Easy to setup, works flawlessly and gives me the comfort of remote app notifications for when I am not home. I could not ask for a better product.

The Nest Protect is an excellent smoke and CO2 detector. Installation was an absolute breeze, and setup on the Nest app was a 30 second job. This looks great with its unobtrusive design and is a great addition to our Nest setup and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Outstanding detector. Easy to set up and love the nightlight feature.

Very easy to set up. I love the “nightlight” feature. It illuminates the hallway at night with a subtle light that activated when you approach. A feature that will help prevent tripping over things in the dark.

This is my families second one of these. Even on batteries they last forever. I think I’ve only had to switch out the batteries on my old one once we’ve had it for a year. We also love the night light feature.

It’s a very friendly user Alarm. Very easy to install if you’re a bit handy, doesn’t require much tech knowledge to set up

Purchased a number of these for my home. Easy setup that the unit itself talks you through. After the first one was setup all the others were easier due to them duplicating much of the setup wirelessly. They all communicate to and through each other. If one goes into alarm mode they all will alert you of which one sounded the alarm first. Night light on motion is an added benefit that you can use or turn off. Really pleased.

Excellent signal! Product is easy to set up, like the lights on it.

Very nice that it detects for carbon dioxide and smoke. I bought one for my dad because he uses gas for alot of equipment and always worried about the possibility of carbon dioxide killing him. So I installed this at his house and setup on his phone very easily and now have peace of mind.

This was a great addition to my home. The Nest Protect tests itself regularly, integrates with other Nest products and includes a motion detection night light. It was very easy to setup and install. I'm glad I finally made this purchase.

Added this Nest Protect because I've been VERY pleased with the Nest Thermostat I installed a few weeks ago. Very easy installation for the Nest Protect, and I really like how it also works as a night light when I walk down the hallway where it is installed.

Love how this will not wake you up in the middle of the night if the battery is running low and will get notified instead. It can also notify you when smoke from cooking instead of going off. Also, the night light is a great add on.

I bought three of these for the home we just purchased. The install was easy. Setting it up on their software was painless. We really like the motion detected night light, which works great in our hallway. They are a bit pricey, but otherwise, no complaints.

Just bought my second Nest Protect for my home and I'm pleased at how easy the installs have been. Despite what the instructions say, you may have to drill into your drywall to get the mounting screws to go in. The products quickly connected to the Nest App and to my home network without any issues. I also loved that they are interconnected - when I tested one Nest Protect in a hallway, the other in the bedroom recognized the test and tested itself also. I'm looking to install a wired Nest Protect elsewhere in the home.

Install was some what involved as installed on ceilings. Purchased 2 for my 2 story home. Have existing smoke detectors, but the device is both a smoke detector & CO detector. Installed somewhat distant from existing smoke detectors, closer to bedrooms. Able to monitor devices with Nest App. My son was cooking and generated some smoke, detector sounded of warning alarm, alerted my phone as well as when the smoke was clearing-so it detects and continues to monitor. Also has nice touches as it can function as a night light. App also gives option to link to my Nest thermostat-if CO or smoke is detected, the thermostat can be turned off to help reduce circulating air and possible increase spread of fire/CO.

A few weeks after purchasing this, I received a carbon monoxide alarm notification on my phone while I was at work. Initially, I assumed it was a false alarm, but I decided to go home and check. The fire department confirmed that our house was filled with carbon monoxide. I was able to save my cats in time. It’s terrifying to imagine what would have happened if this had occurred just a few weeks earlier. I would have been at work, completely unaware, while my cats were being poisoned. THANK YOU NEST!

Easy to install. Night light is a great feature. Love the fact that these act in the same way as a wired smoke alarm given they are WiFi connected/smart.
