    So easy to install. Good looking. the most convenient is that there is a motion detector builds in,and at night it's easy to see what's in the room.

    Bought 7 of these to replace my smoke detectors. It's so much easier to silence a nest protect with your phone than to climb on a chair with a broomstick

    My house needs 6 of these, but I started with 1. It's easy to setup and well thought out. App to setup is also easy to deal with. So far no alarms 6 months in.

    I have a newer home with a total of seven wired smoke detectors. I have replaced five of them so I have a couple more to change out. I am very happy with the Nest Protect. Setup and installation took about 90 minutes for the first four. I’ll be installing the fifth this afternoon. I like the pathlight feature. However if you have cats like we do you might want to turn this feature off in the unit in you bedroom if you have a detector installer. I had the pathlight activated in our master bedroom and the first night the light kept coming on every time a cat walked under it.

    Got my protects and they were very easy to set up and integrate into my nest household. I did notice that the manufacturer date on these were in 2018 and they have a 10 year life. So I’m basically getting 8 years. Other than that very easy to use and set up.

    I have the original one and decided to add a few more. Nest protect is the best product out there. I can monitor my home while away and it produces fewer false alarms.

    A well engineered smart device for everyone's home. Easy set up with internet connectivity to other units in the home. A must have technology to keep your family safe. Our device detected carbon monoxide in the basement. Alerted all other devices as to location of the alarm. Alarm was caused by a failing water heater burner. Without the Nest Protect we may have never noticed the Carbon Monoxide. Outstanding product.

    This piece of technology is groundbreaking, it offers a wide range of benefits and fractures, fully wireless, smartphone app-controlled, smart and runs system check automatically, a combination of Smoke/Carbon Monoxide sensors, easy to set up and included installation manual and couple videos from Google nest on Youtube are a huge help. In addition to the preceding, it has lighting circle like a halo to light up the path beneath it any time someone passes by "path light".

    Expensive, but partially paying for peace of mind. Seems to work well although the house hasn't burned down to test it! Wife loves the night light feature though and being able to manage it and check status on your mobile device is nice.
