Posted .Hello there, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback on Nest Hub (2nd gen). We hear your concerns about its performance and features.
If your Nest display is having a hard time responding to your voice commands, there’s a possibility that the display is having trouble connecting with Google. We suggest the simple steps below:
- Unplug your Nest Hub and wait for 10 seconds, then plug it back in. Wait for the device to reboot, then try to ask the Assistant your question again.
- Reboot your modem and router.
- Try to switch between 2.4 GHZ and 5 GHz network to see which band is more reliable
- If there are nearby devices that may cause interference, such as microwave ovens, wireless speakers, baby monitors, Wi-Fi routers, try to move your display to a different room, or to move it closer to your router.
Also, Retraining your Nest display, to better recognize your voice, and adjusting the Hotword sensitivity may be helpful with the issue. You may follow the steps on these help articles:
- Check which devices are using Voice Match: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7588195
- Adjust how sensitive Google Assistant is to “Hey Google: https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/9712065

Good
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sleep Sensing Accuracy: While it provides sleep data, it may not be as accurate as wearable sleep trackers 2. • Air Gestures: The air gesture controls can be a bit finicky 1. • Audio Quality: The audio lacks powerful bass 2. • No Camera: Lacks a camera for video calls

Google Home Pod
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Google home pod exceeds my expectations. It has a large screen, which clearly displays the time and shows everything you google. It is easy to setup and use. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Not worth the regular price
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought two of these when they on sale for $59, which i think is what they’re really worth. Decent speaker and good smart home hub but its OS is pretty laggy and there’s no camera to enable video features. Still think it is far better than the amazon echo show at similar price point even though the echo has a camera. In my experience so far, google’s assistant is much more helpful and responds to requests for changing temperature and lights than echo or my homepods.

Small but Strong Performance
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very solid display. This model is still competitive in 2023 for its size. The intelligent cards are a bonus. It doubles as a desktop Chromecast screen which is helpful.

Nest hub
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does not have a camera, which is great since it is placed in my bedroom. Does not take up a lot of space. Was able to pair it to my pixel phone. Use it to listen to audiobooks when paired to my phone.

I struggle to wake up but due to the fact i can play my spotify playlist on this that wont be a issue anymore.

The best alarm clock?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great little smart hub. Use it as my alarm clock (a bit overkill). Above average speakers and can connect to the other smart things in your house so you can everything from your bed.

Works well for a smart home
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well in my basement, I really only use it to turn the lights on and listen to music so haven't really dove into the tech portions of it.

It was so easy to set up and we love using it to watch youtube videos and other little things on it. We were able to set up our lights and other devices on it. Very useful

Good unit, but not what I needed
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good build quality and does what it says it will. However it's simply a speaker with a screen, and not a tablet with a speaker. Thus I purchased it thinking I could view recipes in the kitchen, but it won't do that. So it has no value to me. Also you need the Max version (with camera) if you want the FaceTime like (Google meets) experience. This one has no camera. I already have several Google speakers and this device really doesn't bring any additional capabilities.

Solid smart home hub
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Like the title says, this is a solid smart home hub that seems to be regularly on sale around the $70 mark. The screen is vibrant and responsive to touch. The microphone does a good job picking up a voice from across the room, but sometimes it's a bit lacking in correctly understanding you. I bought this mostly as a white noise machine (via YouTube Music Premium), and it has served me well in that regard. I will say though that the sleep sensing feature isn't all that helpful IMO. Sure, it was very eye-opening to see a graph of just how much I snore through the night, but there's definitely discrepancies with when it detects awake vs. sleep. It's a neat gimmick, but not a feature I'd pay to use (which is apparently going behind a pay wall in 2024).
