Great Thermostat. Love that I can control it from my phone. Just takes a bit if you aren’t tech savvy to figure out how to keep it off of comfort zone if you are home and not walking by the thermostat often.
Hi Tasha, thanks for the feedback and we’re glad you find the Nest Thermostat great, and that you love you can control it remotely from your phone. We’re sorry to learn of your difficulty on how to keep it off of comfort zone if you are home and not walking by the thermostat often. When you manually adjust the temperature, the temperature will stick until the next scheduled temperature change. With a temperature preset, you can easily set a specific temperature that you repeatedly use a bit faster than manually adjusting the temperature dial. Besides using ready-made presets like Comfort, Eco, and Sleep, you can create custom presets. This is helpful for other times you might like a specific temperature that’s not included in your thermostat’s existing presets.

Best cheap smart thermostat, installed on a old system works great. Make sure u know what wires to go where. Installed with a common wire as it needs constant power but my old system doesn't have a common wire

I love that i can turn my furnace on/off, heat/ac up or down a degree from my phone. Even if i am out of the state. Plus it will loght up when i walk by so i can see what it is set too.

This is our third Nest thermostat, and quite frankly by mistake we ordered their lower-end product. This one reeks of BOM cost reduction. No moving parts, and a much clunkier UI. Worse, the BestBuy website does not specify that two products are needed. The ludicrous (see photo) backplate must be ordered and shipped separately . We also purchased installation when we bought the unit. Best Buy’s tech claimed that there weren’t enough wires to support the Nest and bailed. We didn’t get charged for installation, but we did need to pay a local HVAC tech $250 to install it (no additional wiring required, as it happened).
Recommendation: search for and purchase Google’s top-line/upgraded Nest (if they are still available). And while Best Buy tech was friendly and on-time, set your expectations on the low side.
Hello there! Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent Nest Thermostat experience. We understand your frustration, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment you've encountered.
We appreciate you raising the lack of clarity on the Best Buy website regarding the backplate being a separate purchase. We're working with our partners to ensure accurate product information to improve support for Nest products.
Also, we strive to offer a range of products at different price points. While this model may have fewer features, it is designed to deliver smart home compatibility. It relies on a touch interface, which some users prefer for its sleek design and ease of use. Thankfully, you can control and manage the thermostat settings using the app even when you’re not at home if your thermostat and Home app (phone or tablet) are both online.
We appreciate your recommendation to choose the top-of-the-line Nest Thermostat for more features and potential compatibility. For installation guides and troubleshooting tips, you can visit the Google Nest Help Center page or contact us directly using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

I love this. So easy to install. Just make sure you watch the video for this exact model. I accidentally watched one for a different version and got scared thinking it wasn’t going to be compatible. Anyway, I love how I can control it through my phone.

I'm switching from another brand of Wi-Fi enabled thermostat. I installed one previously in another home and like the Google environment better than the Honeywell app.

We installed this thermostat to replace a builder-grade one from 2003. Huge upgrade. If you have Google Home devices, this purchase is a no-brainer. This was our first Google Home product and we had to install the Home app on our mobile device in order to install and activate the thermostat. It was worth it as now we can control the temperature from our mobile devices as well as set programs for sleep temps and energy saving temps. Highly recommended.

After having this for a year, it has gone out 3 times on me; one day working and one day not working. I like having a smart thermostat but others have told me there are better out there. Also the mirror finish on it is an odd choice which reflects a lot of light and guests don't understand why the bezel won't spin. It also doesn't come with a face plate.
