    Great value for a sleek and intuitive thermostat. It doesn't have the learning of the more advanced model. I've had those in another house and we ended up overwriting the "smart" program anyway. I did have an issue with my network but it went away when I upgraded my router tech.

    Although it took a while to figure out how to use it, after you do this, it is actually quite simple to operate. I like the fact that it provides all the needed information succinctly and in a manner which is easy to see and comprehend. Overall very happy with it... and it is pretty cool looking

      Hey there, Tony. Sorry you’ve run into trouble installing your Nest Thermostat. Here are a couple of troubleshooting steps to get your device back on track:

      1. Check for a W5 help code: If your thermostat can’t see any nearby Wi-Fi networks, including your own, you may have a W5 issue. To access Network settings, press the thermostat ring and open the Quick View menu. Then, select Settings and turn the ring until Network appears. If you see an Error - nest.com/w5 message on your thermostat, go to Troubleshoot a Nest thermostat W5 code.
      2. Restart your thermostat: On your thermostat, go to Settings and then Restart. After your thermostat has finished restarting, use the Home app to try to connect again.
      3. Restart your router: Sometimes a router restart can get your network to show up on your thermostat.

      Here’s a link with more details: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9249211?hl=en#zippy=;

      If you still have problems, don’t hesitate to reach out to us: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp? madebygoogle

    Really cool thermostat. Only issue I can say is that the touch pad on the side isn’t the easiest to use but honestly don’t really adjust it thru the device much since have it to automatically adjust at certain times of the day.

    I really like the thermostat. The only reason for it not getting 5 stars, is that it disconnects from google home every month. A quick restart resolves it,but still.

    Great thermostat for saving energy when I'm not home. Before this thermostat I just had a normal thermostat where you couldn't schedule when it would operate. It has significantly reduced my heating and cooling bills

    I thought the Nest Learning Thermostat E was great at its price point, but this is even better! It looks great and performs well while being sold at a very reasonable price point. The only drawback is the lack of learning capability, but that didn't affect me. A solid smart thermostat.

    This is by far the best product I have purchased. I can control my thermostat from my bed, or when I go out, before I get home. The only thing I didn't know, was that you need to buy in some cases the frame to hold it in place if you have one of those old thermostat. Highly recommend.

    Not as easy to setup as its grown up brother the “learning” version. But using the Google Home app makes it a little easier but its definitely not as user friendly.

    I bought this to replace nest 3rd generation because I didn't like the integration of Nest App vs. the Google Home App (Home/Away almost never worked). I like the fact I can program the temperatures and the home/away works great.
