    I replaced all the wired smoke detectors during a remodel of our house. Nest was very easy to install. I am not known for my handy man capabilities so if I could do it, most can. They are extremely loud and I feel much safer in our house having these. Nice to have the carbon monoxide detector too.

    I’m really impressed with the Nest Protects. Set up was very easy. I feel more confident that these Nest Protects will do what they’re supposed to do to keep me and my family safe especially when it comes to detecting carbon monoxide. Currently have four, need two more. Highly recommended.

    Loving our new smoke/carbon monoxide detectors. Purchased 3 in total as replacements for 20 year old versions of separate smoke/CO detectors. A breeze to install as well as setup using the app. Loving the night light feature which turns on when movement in the area is sensed. Would highly recommend!

    I was upgrading from a traditional smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector. It was a bit more expensive than my traditional device, but some features that sold me were mobile app control, small sleek design, and a lot of features. I didn't get this on my old regular device.

    Love these smoke alarms. Easy to install, easy set up. Love that they talk to you. My kids are more aware of what the voice says, and what the different lights and sounds mean. Every other positive review is true. Would definitely recommend. Can't wait to expand the nest family of products in conjunction with our smoke alarms.

    Its a must have! I already have a Nest Smart Thermostat and it was nice to add this and only use one app. Does everything it says. Really like at night when you walk by, you don't have to turn any lights on, the detector senses you and glows to give you a nightlight.

    Very happy with the new Nest smoke alarm. Having access to notifications and a better product that eliminates false alarms provides great piece of mind. The added addition of Carbon monoxide makes this a no brainer for the price and 2 in 1. This is the 2nd one I have in my house and will eventually replace all of them.

    We have 2 nest protects, one in our upstairs hallway and one in our downstairs hallway. We like that they are synced together and that you can check the status on your phone thru the app. We also like the nightlight that illuminates the hallways at night. Great product, feel very secure having these in our home.

    I had nest protect all through my previous house and missed them so much when I built a new home I quickly replaced the smoke alarms with nest again! We love the pathway light in our hallway at night and appreciate the notifications and pleasant voice instead of being screamed or churped at.

    My sixth Google Nest Protect. The ease of setup, connection and installation completion sets it apart. The lack of false alarms or low battery warnings at 2am is the biggest plus. For that, I am forever grateful.

    I have almost completely replaced all smoke detectors in my home with these. These all linked together with the Nest thermostat and any Nest cameras that Nest makes. They have an organized phone or tablet App that links them all together. Very easy to use. Set up is easy and maintenance is minimal.

    Love nest products because they feel solid and very well made. These smoke detectors look and feel the same and look classy for a smoke detector. Installation was easy and hooked to wifi with no problem. Hopefully I won't ever have to use them.

    I have been using the Nest Protect wired for 4 years now and needed to add one in my garage. They work well really well. Easy to setup, status light and options in the app help cater it towards your needs.

    Really great smoke detector little bit pricey but you can't put a price on your family safety. I purchased them for my whole house and it's pretty cool. When it goes off it actually tells you heads up there is smoke in kitchen or bedroom which ever location you configured.

    Bought this at Best Buy store . Install was easy, set up was easy. Although it stopped working two days later..... After an hour with Nest support on the phone they decided unit was no good. Sent me a new one over the mail (overnight delivery). This one is working just fine. Does what it's supposed to do.

    One of the few times an item has been as easy to install as it was advertised. With my house being a smart home, I couldn't believe I neglected to install these from day one. When you consider all of the items you could have in a smart home, doesn't it make sense to have a life saving device too??!!
