Decent Thermostat, not my favorite.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a few issues with this thermostat that caused me to return kt. Foest off: Good luck trying to find out which generation this is. I had issues finding a temperature sensor for another room that is compatible, because its not clear what model this unit is. Second off: Installing the unit is fairly straightforward, but the google home app is awful to use. If you set up the unit without wifi you will need to remove it completely from your home app, factory reset the unit, and start from the beginning. In the end: For the price and with the California Smart Thermostat rebate (free $75 coupon) its not the worst product, but for what I’m looking for it just doesnt cut it. This is great if you want a sleek looking thermostat with somewhat reliable smart features

Lowered heat costs1
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second nest. We finally replaced the old Honeywell. This product makes regulating the heat in the home so much easier. We saw a 10% decrease in our heating bill because we were able to regulated the heat better with this device. Highly recommended.

Not good, Not bad
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not good, not bad. If you’re on the fence on the $300 Nest or this one. Go with the $300. I had the $300 nest and it gave out after about 2 years, saw this one and thought it would be ok. It was, for the most part. The user interface is not as easy as the original and there is no additional thermostat support. I use to have a thermostat sensor upstairs and at the back of my house, now I have only the thermostat on the wall. Save your time and get the original Nest

Good desing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good design, the batteries should be rechargeable and recharged internally. Otherwise, everything is fine, but perhaps the look of a clock like a screen like the Nest Thermostat is missing.

Good product that I couldn't use
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn't have the write wire to connect this to my HVAC system. If dont have a "c" wire, it wont work. Got it connected to the thermostat and it worked fine for 5 mins, on the cool setting then switched over to heat. That's when I figured out we were missing a wire. The design is not my favorite. You control the settings my by the small touch buttons on the side. It's kind of a pain in the butt. Other than that, it's sleek and definitely nicer to look at then traditional thermostats.

Great Value Smart Thermostat
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Google Nest Smart Programmable Wifi Thermostat is a solid option for the price. It’s easy to install, and the sleek Snow finish looks great in any home. However, if you’re planning to install it on a metal box, make sure to get the metal plate, as it’s required for proper installation.

Great for you and your wallet
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product has been very easy to use. I’m a bit of a penny pincher so knowing that this device is able to detect my presence and adjust accordingly brings me comfort. Also I would imagine my carbon footprint is reduced thanks to this device’s presence setting.

Nest programmable Wi-Fi Thermostat
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was installed by geek squad. They set it up in my phone and I can control from there. It has started to lose Wi-Fi connection and the Wi-Fi is on in the home. Thats the only problem I have. So the geek squad will come back and show me the way to success like always.

Posted .Hi Happy, thanks for sharing your views on Nest products. We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing a Wi-Fi connectivity issue with Nest Thermostat.
Your Nest thermostat gets its power from your HVAC system’s wiring. There are cases where these wires can't deliver enough power to support the Nest thermostat's features, then they start draining the batteries and disconnect from your Wifi network. In such cases, installing a common(C) wire between your HVAC and Nest thermostats can resolve the battery drain problem.
If the points we provide do not resolve the issue you informed us, then we may need to have a closer look to find out what may be causing it and work on improving your experience. We're ready to assist you if you could visit our page: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Smart thermostat
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this installed for a year, no problems. I still haven't figured out how to work the actual thermostat, but since i can use my phone to change what I need to, I don't ever have to touch it. It's VERY small which i like, it blends in well

Disappointing. Older models are far superior.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I agree completely with KungFuPanda. I have 3 Nest thermostats that are the older versions and everything about this one is significantly cheaper in comparison. I’ve even used the “E” version which was much better than this one. There is no turning dial, the screen is really just a small square and you can see the borders in the display (see photo), and the google home app is far inferior to the Nest app. Even when you adjust the temperature the new sound it makes is irritating. I really hope this isn’t the path that Nest thermostats are heading and that this iteration is just a fluke. I had intended to switch over my mom’s old school thermostats with this one because of a rebate offered by our electric company, but she’s in her 60’s and the lack of a dial would make adjusting the temperature much too difficult. As far as the C wire debate: in my experience the C wire is not needed when your thermostat controls both heating and cooling. In some cases when the thermostat controls ONLY heating or ONLY cooling then a C wire is needed.

This works great
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review. My family used to set the temperature and never lower it. This will by default correct to a more appropriate level. I like the fact also that if I’m away from home that I can change it on my cell phone. I need to get more things that can be associate or connected with this like the front door, TV volumes, and other things like that
