    This Nest works really well with the newer Google Home app. I liked the choice of color. This is called Sand although it looks a little more blush on the wall. But it is in the basement with the walls painted Sea Salt so keeping with the theme. My granddaughers like that when the walk up to it is like a small mirror. I like that at night I can set the temp from upstairs! Rebate eligible.

    Bought this for my dad and he absolutely loves it. He is able to control it from his phone which helps alot when he is in bed on the second floor and wakes up cold or hot and needs to adjust it. He is getting older, so this is truly helping him stay independent. This one will not work a whole home humidifier though so please be aware of what you have/need before you purchase it.

    Great product, no complaints. Set up was easy and clearly told me needed power converter which solved the one installation issue.

    Nice thermostat

    Pretty good thermostat. Ready to program and control from the phone. I had an older thermostat that I replaced with this, and wiring was different, so I had a chat session with Google nest, and they were very good and checked compatibility for me and told me exactly which wires go where. Easy to install and worked perfectly right away. I also got the back plate and it looks nice. Doesn't have all the features as the learning thermostat, but for the price, it's pretty good, and has everything you would need.

    Oh you’re cold? Don’t have to get up to fix that problem anymore. Keeps the wife happy, and not overly complicated to use or set up. I had the original when it came and had nothing but problems setting it up and getting it to work correctly consistently. They’ve simplified a lot since then and appear to have ironed out all the kinks..

    The best smart thermostat

    I have never had a smart thermostat, and for the money this has been one of the best smart home purchases I ever made. Being able to set routines and change the temperature of my HVAC without having to get out of bed on a cold morning has been game changing. The learning thermostat might be better, but I’d recommend this one to anyone wanting to try out a smart thermostat. The only thing I’d add is make sure you research the wiring for your HVAC unit. Google makes it pretty easy to set up, but they also make it pretty easy to mess up if you don’t know what you’re looking at.

    Easy install. Reliable connectivity. Love the fact I can change the temperature from my bed now. Also like that it goes into eco mode when no one is home. Great deal with the ComEd rebate too. Note: No C-wire is required to install. Proof of my configuration in attached picture.

    This is an excellent product. Never liked the 'learning' idea of a thermostat. Personally like to 'control' the temp as per my liking. And so never interested paying the premium for a feature I don't need. This one is excellent, you can still control with your phone/ voice and it is so compact and non-intrusive. Mirror finish looks good to me (subjective) and it takes couple of tries to get used to the side-touch but then it's all good. Easy to setup. And I do have 'C-wire' so for me, it was a no-brainer.

    We love this! Easy installation, looks great, and love the ability to monitor and/or change the settings from our phone. If we are out for a few hours we can make sure to come home to a comfortable temp. No more ugly "box" on the wall. Our system also is running quieter and more efficiently,

    Great App for Nest

    Updated by home's old thermostat and enjoy being able to update the temp via the app. The set-up was simple with the help of the youtube vid. Be sure to take a picture of the original wiring set up to help with the install. I like that you can select AC, Heat or both. We are using the mixed A/C and Heat setting in Spring (and will in the Fall) for the cold mornings and warm afternoons.

    Nice but not as good as the Learning Thermostat

    I've had the Nest Learning Thermostat and the Nest Learning Thermostat E. This model is less intuitive than the others. The actual thermostat is harder to control with weird touch/feel buttons on the side and this model requires you to use the Google home app instead of the Nest app.

    I recently installed the Google Nest Smart Thermostat (Snow) and I’m extremely satisfied with how it’s improved my home. Installation was straightforward, even for someone with limited experience—it took me less than 30 minutes using the Nest app. The design is clean and modern, and the Snow color blends perfectly with my walls. It looks great and doesn’t draw too much attention. What I love the most is how smart it is. It learns my habits, adjusts temperatures automatically, and helps me save energy. The Google Home app makes it super easy to control remotely, and I love being able to adjust the temperature from my phone or with voice commands. The energy-saving features are a huge plus, and I’ve already noticed a difference in how often my system runs. It's affordable, easy to use, and works flawlessly. Highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade to a smart thermostat without breaking the bank!

    Cost is very reasonable and design is good looking. Easy to control with my iPhone. Very good to have energy saving features. I don't like 2-thing is no touch screen feature and take quite long to figure out how to connect to Wifi connection.

    I will never go back to a thermostat I can't control from an app on my phone. This small thermostat blends in with room decor and has a convenient touch screen. I took one star off because I think some of the features could be a little easier to use.
