Customer Ratings & Reviews

First and foremost it gives you smoke detector and carbon monoxide protection which has its own color alert and sound. The added benefit I like is that once you register the device onto the Nest app. you can monitor the device online. It has a night light the glows once it senses a moving object. Every activation is logged into the history. Its a nice feature that I used when I was on vacation and I can check to see if the night light activated which it did not. That gives me relief that no one has entered my home.

Easy to install- press a button on the alarm and it runs you thru the process. This wifi option is great as it monitors itself to make sure it is working every day (no loud noises though when doing this). It is smoke and CO2 detector. I have purchased 3 and they all work in tandem. I was sanding near one alarm and it went off (loud noise and voice command). All of the alarms went off so if someone was in another area they would know there were problems somewhere else in the home. Batteries are long lasting so no need to forget to replace them every change in time. Must have for you and your fmaily's safety.

Very pleased with the Google Nest Smoke Detector! Love the sleek design and the ease of the installation. The combination of the smoke and carbon monoxide detection along with its ability to alert our phone with provides peace of mind.

I’m reasonably tech savvy, but I still chose to read through the entire directions and once I had done that I found that the set up process was a snap. One of my very favorite features is that the system emits a low glowing light in our upstairs hallway when we get up at night. The other unit that is near a light we leave on overnight doesn’t light up which is perfect. One last point- we have a long low house and I like the fact that one unit will speak to another at opposite ends of the house if we have an issue. Recommend this device.

I have purchased a few of these to protect the whole house. They are great and network between each other so if one alerts they all alert. they also can be accessed online via the Nest Website or app. I like the fact they use long life batteries so you should only need to change them once if at all in the 10 years they are rated to last. Setup was easy and I really like the night light function. They seem expensive but when you start comparing to others with the same functions they are pretty close. They also integrate with the nest thermostat to better tell when you're home or away. Highly recommended!

I love everything about these Nest Protects. Easy set up, easy installation. They are very loud while notifying of smoke or gas leak. The color ring is great for those who may be hearing impaired and the path light set up for night time that senses motion and turns on a soft glow to help light the area as you walk through is a cool feature as well. The app is also pretty nice. The only negative I can come up with is they do not link up with Alexa but it's not that big of a negative. Overall very satisfied.

I have a Nest thermostat, web cams, Google Home and 2 Protects in my home. They all work fantastic together and all through one app. These were very easy to install and manage through my app. It even will send you a message if it goes off, like when I burn something in the kitchen. An added benefit that I didn't know about this when I bought it is that it has a night light on it. When you walk under it the light will turn on and light up the hallway for you. It is a very dim blue light but is just enough for you to see where you are going at night.

Love, an amazing simple and elegant little device. Easy to set up. Purchase the wired for upstairs and was so please with it that I purchased a second wireless for downstairs near the kitchen. Extremely sensitive and the hidden feature is the motion sensor night light! Worth it!

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.

I got one of these for a gift and was thinking about buying another. it is far more reliable than the cheap fire detector thatI had before. it has a motion night light witch isn’t very bright but its better than none at all if or when I buy more they will be the wired ones because the ceilings are very high in some parts of my house.Hope they work as well as the battery ones they do a safety check and reports back to your cll phone

I'm a volunteer firefighter who has smoke and carbon monoxide detectors throughout my home but was always afraid of not knowing if there was an emergency at he house. Was always worried about losing a very dear pet because no one would know of a situation at the house until it was too late. That's the void that the Nest protect fills. With the Nest being able to notify me on my phone of an alarm I can check my webcam to see what's going on and call the authorities and get home quickly. Was very easy to setup and install too. Looks great too.

This smoke alarm is very nice looking and appealing to the eye. I do like the voice guiding you through everything. Setup and install was a snap, no issues connecting to wifi or Nest app to link with my Nest Thermostat. I know it's just a smoke alarm and CO detector, but it is really nice. The nightlight feature is very handy for my home, since the smoke alarm is in the hallway on the way to the restroom, no more turning on the light.

The Nest Protect is easy to install and setup. You use your phone/tablet to setup the device before installing it. You use the Nest app to scan a QR code on the back of the Nest Protect to begin setup. If you have multiple Nest Protect's then you use one of the previously installed Nest Protect's to setup the new Nest Protect. One tip, you must clear the app cache for the Android Nest app before installing subsequent Nest Protects. Otherwise, setup will fail to setup the wifi connection and the error the Nest app gives is cryptic and infers a problem with your router. After setup, you can see the status of each Nest Protect and when it was last tested. Each Nest Protect will give you the status of all other Nest Protect's in your house. The wired and wireless devices are setup and function exactly the same.

This is my second next protect as I was so impressed with the first. Set up is a breeze by just mounting the plate, removing the battery protector sleeve, scanning the items QR code with the Nest app and twisting the protector into the mounting plate. I really like the night light feature that automatically turns on when it senses your presence in the dark. It's also of great comfort to know that when you're away, the Nest app will alert you to any dangers it detects.

I bought 3 devices. First one set up like a breeze, 2nd one had a little trouble briefly, but did interconnect with the 1st one...and the last one was a breeze also. So simple, you scan the barcode on the device with your phone and the app walks you through the rest....couldn't be more simple. The device it's self has been solid...no connectivity issue. The speak alarm is easy to understand and the automatic night light a nice touch. This makes me eager to see Nest's other products.

If you want to feel a little safer when you are home or away from your home this is a great item to have. I don't have to worry if my fur babies or kids are safe or not as well. It also has a nite light when walking by to show me the way when it is dark, very helpful It test itself once a month so I know all is good. It also alerts your cell phone if any alarms are detected. I can't say enough about this product. A breeze to install. love it!

Easy to install, no issues connecting to the Nest app. So far so good.

My existing smoke alarms were well over the "good" date by 10 years when I checked! I knew it was time then to get some replacement detectors as well as an additional unit to cover my basement, where my utilities are, but with no existing protection. Made sence then, to go all in and get a good full spectrum smoke & CO detector for all 3 areas. Also, having them tied into my home network for remote access, was icing on the cake. I bought the 3- pack as it was the right number of detectors AND BestBuy price matched! Can't go wrong!! They were VERY easy to physically install. I was initially skeptical of the included hardware, but it worked perfectly. I was replacing some old First Alert models and the mounting holes don't match up unfortunately. But, it wasn't an issue. You don't need any special tools either; Just a screwdriver. They blend in nicely with the white ceiling which was a pleasant discovery. The app install on my Android based LG G5 went without a hitch and I had all 3 detectors connected in no time. All together, I had all 3 items physically & virtually installed in less than 45 min; from unwrapping the 3pack to walking away. I didn't even have to install batteries, as they came with & installed in each unit. The units self test (or you can have them test themselves via the app) on a schedule and you can view or hear the results. If batteries get low, they literally say that, so you know which one needs batteries. They aren't cheap, but as my & my families lives might literally depend on them, it was a very good investment. These items again, are dual spectrum for smoke AND they also are CO detectors. I really like that they're networked and that they talk when in action. Another handy feature is that at night, they also act as a night light for a few moments when you walk under them. Just for a few seconds, but enough to be helpful. Overall, I'm very pleased with the purchase and whole heartedly recommend them. Check the dates on your current units - did you know they're only practically good for 10 years?? If it's time to replace them, buy these NEST units. If you don't have any in your home, then buy these TODAY! Money well spent, because what is your (or family's) life worth??? When you buy quality, you only cry once.

What a great peace of mind these are! I take care of my mom who refuses to use the phone or has any tech savvy. I also like to take road trips on the weekend and typically, she wants to stay home. I always worried about something happening while I was away and my not finding out or being able to do anything about it. Now, I have no worries! I can monitor for fire, smoke or carbon monoxide anywhere I go. I love the nightlight feature and how it does self checkups. Super easy to setup and configure. Although they seem a little pricey, they are well worth the expense and peace of mind they provide. Highly Recommend!

The Nest protect, is the upgrade that smoke detectors needed!! Gone are the days of smoke detectors blaring non-sense beeps cause battery power was low. Or not knowing that smoke detector is defective and would not stop blaring beeps with a Nest protect smoke detector. The Nest protect is powered by one of two available power options, wired or battery. Requires a free quick app download and wifi to set up for OS and Android systems. Once set up correctly the device operates silently monitoring itself, your home and provides a built-in lighting device for emergencies and non-emergencies. This device will speak, not chirp or blare non-sense beeps!! Should the Nest protect detect a problem, the occupants will be informed of what area of your home the problem is located. What type of problem has been detected. Unfortunately, the Nest protect does have a disadvantage, that is overcoming wife connectivity issues. Something old generation smoke detectors never had. However, wifi connectivity is only required to alert owners when away from home of an emergency. When compared to older generation smoke detectors would an owner have that chance to be alerted to a crisis when away? The Nest protect gives homeowners that chance to react if and when necessary. It's not all bad for the Nest protect, if no wifi connectivity is available the Nest protect is still functional. Though, the only alert an owner will receive should wifi connectivity be lost is thru email. For owners to get those email alerts do need to sign up for a Nest account.
