    Easy to install, great product. Love the "Nightly promise" but it may be a bit sensitive. When it was really hot, it started beeping uncontrollably. Contacted Nest and they replaced my product.

    Purchased three of these detectors and they all work great. They have a light that turns on when motion is detected. Great feature to have the dim light, should there be a real emergency.

    Connects via WiFi to my Nest thermostat, does a monthly audio check and can turn off my furnace automatically if carbon monoxide is detected. Has an escape light too although it should be much brighter.

    So these detectors are my favorites than other brands. These alert u very quickly and detect intstaneouly ,not like others that need alot of smoke to notify you of the gas you have in your house.!!!

    Not only does it detect smoke & carbon monoxide but it also function as a motion activated night light. Best decision ever to buy this detector when shopping for new ones after I bought my new house. I love it!

    Easy Setup Integrates with Nest Thermostat. Communicates with other Nest detectors wirelessly. Does not communicate with non-Nest smoke detectors which use a signal wire.

    These are great for anyone who is looking to smarten up their home. These detect smoke and Carbon Monoxide and meet every requirement for today's code inspections. I like how they illuminate my pathway at night based on a motion sensor.

    With family and pets at home it’s wonderful to feel protected while I’m away. And the walkway light is a lovely added convenience that I didn’t think I would enjoy as much as I do

    Bought 3 of these to begin replacing the old annoying smoke alarms currently in my home. Over $100 a pop, but also a carbon monoxide alarm too. Very satisfied with my purchase. No more false alarms when making toast!

    I have multiple nest detectors. Great and will stop the nest thermostat to stop the furnace from running the fan in case of a problem so you don’t make things worse in case of fire on Carbon monoxide

    This a huge upgrade from your standard smoke detector. From the routine tests to the ability to wave off false alarms, and notifications sent to your phone when you're not home, it's a no brainer.

    Great Product but had to exchange defective unit

    I would give this product 5 stars but the first one I purchased was defective. The first nest failed it's self test after install due to a defective microphone. Yes, the nest actually listens to itself to make sure it is working according to Nest Technical Support. I was advised to exchange which was a pain because of the time I spent installing. However, Best Buy exchanged the Nest for a new one and it works perfectly. Would buy again.

    Works great and very sensitive to things burning. I like that it uses a voice rather than an annoying loud alarm. And it connects with the rest of my Google devices!
