Customer Ratings & Reviews

I want to slowly move towards a smart home, and with an 18 month old at home I thought the Nest Protect was the perfect start. It was easy to install and set up, although setup took a little longer than someone may like, but easy. It's kind of a very long term thing to review, so it would be nice to come back to it in a year or two to see how it is working. But so far it's been great!

Great smoke detector and easy to install. The app and notifications are great!

Super easy to set up and install. Nightlight is nice and it looks good.

Excellent product! Love the night light feature and the mobile app is easy to use.

The Nest smoke/CO detector is easy to install and add to your nest account. I like the night light that detects motion. This is the 5th one I've installed. I did have false alarm problems with most of the Gen 1 detectors but Nest replaced them with no problem. The Gen 2 detectors have been functioning without any false alarms. They do a monthly self test automatically. Recommended!

Have wired versions for primary locations and purchased this for other locations. Integrates well with wired versions. Like the pathway lighting feature in addition to the primary safety features for fire/smoke and CO2 alarm. Ten year battery with automatic monthly testing is a huge plus.

Easy to install and easy to set up. Very clear voice that talks to you and very loud too, which is a good thing. Connects to your best thermostat to better protect your home. If co is detected, it shuts off the heat of its on. Smoke detected, it'll turn off the ac so it doesn't spread through the house. Very good, plan on getting at least a couple more for the house, worth the price for certain!

Nest makes solid products which are easy to setup and are reliable. When dealing with smoke detectors, it is hard to say whether the product works until you need it. 1) Setup - Easy and seamless. Had minor issues because my firewall was blocking outgoing connections, but app gives clear error messages which a quick google helps close up. 2) low profile unit which was easy to install. 3) no false positives (yet) - Was cooking some for which started to smoke. Other smoke detectors started going off. This one did not. IT was a bit further from the others, but expect it was because there was not enough to trigger an alert. It is nice to be able to able to link up with family/friends so you can help react should a detector activate.

Installation and setup was quick and easy. Less than 30 minutes from opening the box to testing the final installed system. I bought two battery operated wireless units to add to my existing 4 direct wired units. All 6 are synced together wirelessly so that if any one alarm is triggered then all 6 will go off.

Easy to install as everything required is in the box. Units worked just as promised.

I love having the peace of mind that my home is safe and that I will be notified if anything happens while I am away from my home. The nest smart smoke and co detector was super easy to install with only needing a screwdriver. Fast and easy to integrate into my nest home app.

I am very pleased with this product. I bought it for the fire and carbon monoxide detection but am most impressed by the connection to my smartphone and regular email updates. The motion night light feature was a pleasant surprise as is the momentary green light indicating that the system is working when the lights are turned off. I am now adding other NEST products to my home.

Seamlessly integrate multiple units to provide whole-home coverage no matter how big or how small the home! Also, there's no need to have separate smoke and carbon monoxide detectors with these amazing units that can do both! A must for homes with a fireplace!

Great product. Easy to install. Love the night light feature.

Really like this detector. Very easy to use and very easy to set up.

These products are amazing and so easy to setup. They immediately connected to my other smart hub. I love that they self test and talk to you.

Nest protect may seem pricey for a smoke detector, but it does much more! I love knowing that i will receive alerts via my phone if there was smoke or CO in my house. It is also nice to have a voice tell you the issue so you can address any kind of a false alarm and not panic immediately. Advantage of battery version is that you can put it anywhere! Night light feature is also awesome!

I love this detector. This is my third detector. If one detector senses smoke, all detectors announce where the alarm is located. This is great for multi story or long houses. It is also a carbon monoxide detector which is nice having 2 detectors in one. One added feature is the dim nite lite that comes on if you walk near it after dark.

Install was simple and I like that they (4 units) seem to connect and communicate just fine. The litmus test ultimately comes down to how they respond to a fire but overall I am satisfied and would buy again.

Easy to install and set up. The night light is an unexpected bonus!
