    Love this as it provides a peace of mind by notifying on the phone. Sometimes, when cooking it goes off, so this way I know it is working as needed.

    Love these! When choosing a place for installation keep in mind the light comes on with any movement so make sure it doesn't pick up any movement in the bed...like when you roll over. That happened to me and it kept waking me up. Had to move it. Otherwise, it's great.

    We have these in our VRBO and it’s awesome! 2000 miles away and I get a notification once smoke hits it and 15 seconds later after it starts to dissipate. If your looking for comfort this is definitely worth the purchase.

    We have a lot of nest products and love them. These detectors are great especially because they communicate with each other and self test monthly. You can select when they test. The fact they will alert you when it senses smoke on your mobile with the app is nice.

      Hi there, thanks for sharing your concern about your Nest Protect with us. We understand where you´re coming from and we´d like to provide some answers to help clarify your concerns.

      The Safety Checkup feature on Nest Protect, is an easy way to verify that its sensors, power, Wi-Fi connection, speaker, horn, and light ring are working. You can run a Safety Checkup with the Nest app for a 2nd generation Nest Protect, or press the Nest button on any Nest Protect.

      The National Fire Protection Association and other fire safety experts recommend that you manually test your Nest Protect at least once a month. Safety Checkup helps you easily run a test to confirm that all your Nest Protects are working properly. It will also help you and your family become familiar with Nest Protect's sounds and lights.

      Nest Protect also monitors itself automatically, with Self Test and Sound Check. That way, you know it's working in between each month's Safety Checkup.

      We'd love to talk to you further and answer any questions you might have in mind about Nest Protect. You can get a hold of any of our support specialists here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    These smoke detectors are expensive, no doubt, but they are worth the price. They are a carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in one. Easy to set up and no subscription fees for them.

    I bought one hard wired and this battery operated one. Great product. If you have the nest thermostat plus this product and have smoke in your house it will shut the heat and air conditioner off then tell you there smoke in the house.

    I have had numerous issues with connectivity. After several months, the unit chirps every 60 seconds. We have gone so far as to wipe it to factory settings, install new Energizer Lithium batteries and reconfigure. This is the second unit which he have had this experience. If we didn't already have Nest thermostats installed, I might have given up. There is nothing on the www which helps

    The alarm is LOUD. Although it's not impossible to fix I do suggest you set all install locations at the same time before you mount them in place. As a note to the Nest people, please add locations like Garage and Laundry to your list!

    I had a pellet stove installed and was super nervous until purchasing this. Now I no longer worry about it. I love how it still notifies me even if I am away from the house. Price is worth it to me for the peace of mind.

    Although a bit pricey, it’s worth the peace of mind of protecting your family and home. I loved that it auto checks itself and alerts you of smoke dangers while away from home.
