    I love the pass through lightning this unit provides when walking past it in the dark. Peace of mind while away via notifications is the definition of winning!

    Another great product from Nest. I feel more safe in and away from my home knowing that I will be alerted instantly no matter where I am in there is a fire or CO2 emission in my home.

    I have 7 Nest Smoke detectors in 3 buildings... They work as expected. They still need a way to detect when I grill indoors.

    We mostly converted all of our 15+ year old smoke alarms. The Nest product has worked better than expected with no issues at all.

    I purchased the Nest Protect to continue my venture into the smart home world. Although these smoke detectors communicate with each other wirelessly, I wish I had the option of a wired connection that would work with my Security system. The product works really well, but unfortunately I'm not able to use them anymore due to my homeowners insurance.

    Really enjoyed getting these installed in our home (we have two). They seem to work as advertised, but they don't false trip when I do some smokey cooking with the windows closed.

    Usually good product but it still confuses items for smoke. Sucking up drywall dust made it go off. As well as the steam from my kids humidifier. Even though I was trying to silence it , the alarm continued to go off.

      Hi Daadaadaa,

      Thanks for sharing your feedback on Nest Protect. Getting false alarms can be annoying and this is certainly not the experience we want you to have with our product.

      As with any smoke alarms, dust build-up on the outside or inside of Nest Protect can impact the functionality. So it’s important to keep your Nest Protect free of dust and to clean it if dust is building up. For regular maintenance, simply wipe the outside of your Nest Protect with a soft, slightly damp cloth. If it needs a thorough cleaning, you can follow the detailed cleaning steps on this link:
      https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9254377

      We're always available to help you further with any concern you may have with your Google Nest products. Please feel free to get in touch by visiting https://support.google.com/googlenest/contactflow Nest

    This little unit packs a nice punch. Works seamlessly with the other Nest products I have. The added bonus of the carbon monoxide to the smoke detector is great. Wifi is awesome.

    I wanted to have a smart detector and this works perfectly with the rest of the Nest devices in my home. It isn’t much more than a “dumb” detector either.

    We purchased two of these to replaced the aging smoke detectors in our home. They look great and seem to work well also. It's nice being able to check the status of them from our phones, and it gives us a lot of peace of mind regarding our pets knowing that we will get an alert if there is ever an alarm while we are away from home.
