    It's great that I can see what I'm requesting from Google. I love how the Google Nest doorbell camera can be seen on it too. My favorite display is the clock with the weather. It's all I need. Great product!

    Setting up is clunky when you have multiple locations and google accounts. I mainly purchased this in hopes of using this with plex. The best way i was able to achieve this is casting it from my iphone. The onscreen controls do not respond well and which i ended up using the phone for controls which takes a way from its original purpose.

    I didn't know I needed one of these. This device is very helpful. The interface is clean and the voice control with Google Alexa is excellent. I love how the display dims accordingly to ambient light. Nice device; I'm happy I got it and it feels like a steal with the sale price.

    I really like the Hub and got a great sale price on it. Simple things like setting a timer are better than on the old Google Home speaker as you can visually see a countdown of the timer and know how much time remains. Nice product - Recommended

    I’m typically a apple guy and will never give up my Siri and home pod but, admitted;y, this device does everything in one. Check the nest door bell or porch camera, no problem. I like that I can even watch any tv channel—YouTube tv—on it. Good product

    I got the Nest Hub for my office so I can control my house from my desk. It works pretty good. Sometimes the screen isn't super responsive, but I can get over that. Plus it looks great on my desk. I did have some trouble setting up initially, but it works well enough.
