Clean faceplate but juts out of wall
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good quality plastic, but this product is weird. It doesnt go against the wall and juts out at the edge of the oval away from the wall, which is a bad stylistic choice and makes it not flush against the wall.

Won’t work for everyone
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This review is strictly based on the ‘annoyance’ of the Nest, not being compatible with all heating systems. Many older thermostats use only 2 wires, because they required less power. The Nest , may require an additional third wire for power, which would need to be installed by an electrician, thus, greatly increasing the investment in unit. Though Nest says you can look up if to see if your thermostat wires compatible. Many, won’t know this until you buy the unit and find that your system needs the extra wire. Resulting in returning Nest. I find it shocking, that the nest can’t just rely on batteries or the limited power of an older system. So, though this may work on many peoples currrnt system. For many, it won’t and won’t be worth the cost of an electrician installing.

Posted .Hi BobbyP, thanks for letting us know about your experience. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by the need to add a third wire for your Nest Thermostat, and that you had to return it.
Nest thermostat models normally do not require a common (C) wire as it can usually get adequate power from the wires of your heating and cooling system. However, if the wires for your heating and cooling system can't deliver enough power, then the resolution will be to install a common (C) wire in your system to deliver constant power to the thermostat. The best course of action to fix the issue is to contact a Nest Pro technician to check your system and possibly install a common (C) wire.
We’re still hopeful you will change your mind, and give us another shot in the future. You’re more than welcome to reach out to our support team for your support needs here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Nice quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this when I bought a Nest Thermostat. I did not realize the Nest Thermostat came with a trim plate so I returned this one. Looked nice but I liked the one the Nest came with better. It was more of a rectangle vs an oval.

How much would you pay?
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Value priced piece of plastic at $15. They have done their marketing research and understand I wouldn't pay $20, Functions as promised by covering a small bit of unpainted wall left when I removed the old thermostat.

Works as advertised.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fits on the wall decently well, covers up the old thermostat spot. The curve of it is counterintuitive, as it curves away from the wall. Ultimately not a big deal though.

It's fine
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There's really no problem with this, other than the fact that this should have been included with the Nest. It's ridiculous that you have to purchase this separately.

Good for covering up where old thermostat was
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this because removing my old thermostat left an unpainted spot on my wall. It looks pretty good and matches the nest. Kinda overpriced for a piece of plastic.

A little expensive, but works like a charm
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My old thermostat was housed in an electrical box, so this piece was necessary for my Nest Thermostat to be mounted properly. Wish it was included in the thermostat itself; seems pricey for a metal plate and plastic cover.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First I bought the Google Nest only. Then I realized that I definitely needed the trim when I uninstalled the old thermostat and saw the ugly wall. I literally ran to a Best Buy store to get this.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is nice to go in and pick it up at the store, rather than waiting a day or two for it to be mailed.
I would recommend this to a friendFantastic mount!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Loved the mount and it went on pretty easy hiding the previous cutout covering it 100%. Best of all, Best Buy rep gave me tips for mounting based on his experience.
I would recommend this to a friendGood product
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Seems like it is better for the less expensive nest. The higher level Nest comes with a square base plate. The dark color does not go well against a white wall.
