I prefer my ecobee over my Nest.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product if there’s no need to hold temp below 50 degrees. The slide bar on the side sometimes requires a few attempts to engage.

Great Product!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It had taken me a long time to decide if I wanted one of these thermostats. I started making my home more automated and wanted to add this to my system. Wish I hadn't waited. It's a great product that has so many useful features. Love being able to set schedules to bring down my Heat Pump's use and bills. It has done just that and with prices only going up it will continue to pay dividends into the future. No looking back on this purchase.
I would recommend this to a friendFor Duel fuel system will need a Professional inst
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Checked compatibility with my system on Google website before purchase. Time to install: scanned bar code on Google Home, the app would give me a check (properly scanned the item) then return me to the home page. Downloaded the Nest app. It started me through the install process then said because I have a duel fuel unit I would need a “professional” to install it. Did not want to incur that expense, so I returned it.

Do Not Buy This Version
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not buy this version of thermostat unless you want to continue to change the temperature in your house. I have owned other Nest thermostats and have been able to manage them as needed to work for everyone's comfort in the house. These are not that flexible and no matter how you schedule them, they will always go into ECO mode. This has been by far the worst purchase I have made in a while.

Bad buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would not stay connected to wifi and temperature settings did not suite my requirements.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Nest Support
Posted .Hi there, we appreciate you for providing us your feedback about the Nest Thermostat, and we’re sorry to learn that your experience with the connectivity and temperature settings did not meet your preferences and needs.
Nest thermostats connectivity issues could be related to power issues, which may occur when your system wires can't deliver enough power to keep the thermostats charged up. As a result, they start draining the batteries and disconnect from your Wi-Fi. And sometimes, poor Wi-Fi connectivity can also cause the battery to drain faster. Your Nest thermostat uses the voltage from your system’s wires to keep its internal battery charged. If the power to your system is switched off or there’s a blackout, the battery has enough capacity to keep working for a while but will eventually run out. Your thermostat will also turn off features like Wi-Fi to preserve battery life before it must turn off completely.
We'd like to investigate the reasons why your thermostat is behaving differently. Please contact us anytime and we'll figure out a way that may help improve your experience, here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Google Nest Smart Thermostat

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this thermostat last month and had it installed.

Inaccurate Humility Sensor
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nothing but trouble from these thermostats. I bought 2 of them, one for each of our AC units. The humidity sensors are incorrect and read about 15 percentage points higher than the room actually is. I had an HVAC technician check them to be sure. After troubleshooting with Google for literally 2 hours they finally sent me two replacements. The two they sent are obviously refurbished and have the same problem. Now the screen on one of the replacements has a pixel line at the bottom. I will likely end up replacing these with an ecobee and hopefully those will work better.

Stick with the Nest learning thermostat
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would just get the better Nest learning thermostat. I have several at home that work fine with my heating system this one does not get power even with the adapter it did not work. The Nest learning thermostat is a bit more money but works fine right out of the box.
