    I'm all the way into Google's ecosystem and this thing it's been good so far but sometimes it crashes and it restarts by it's own, besides that a think this is the perfect display for anyone looking to enter to the google home experience.

    It’s a great smart home tool . I was debating on this and the echo show 8 and I think I’m going to go with the echo only because I have more Alexa products in my home versus google. Still a great smart home display

    Definitely not as good as the Nest Hub Max but good for it's value. I thought what was lacking was the sound bar. If you can afford the nest hub max, I say go for it. The nest hub is good for the kitchen perhaps.

      Hi there MintMobile, thanks for choosing Nest Hub (2nd Gen). We're sorry to hear that Nest Hub (2nd Gen) fell short of being as good as Nest Hub Max for you.

      Our concept behind Nest Hub (2nd Gen) was to create a lower version of Nest Hub Max but offer a similar value proposition for our more budget conscious customers. A few trade offs included installing a smaller speaker set and removing the camera, hence the lower price point. However, if you have any other questions or support needs you would like us to help you with, you're welcome to contact us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    This is my 3rd Hub. I use them primarily for music & to tell Assistant what to do with my smart stuff around the house. For some reason, this Hub wouldn't keep a solid connection as part of a speaker group. I deleted it & went through adding it back to Home. Seems to have helped. I don't use it for all it can do but I'm willing to learn. The hardware is solid. Crystal clear display & good sound quality. I would recommend the Hub for Google Home & Assistant users especially with smart gadgets around the house.

      Hi JoeM, thanks for being an amazing advocate of Google Nest products. We´re sorry to hear that your Nest Hub (2nd Gen) wouldn´t keep a stable connection with your Wi-Fi router.

      We recommend checking for possible congestion in your Wi-Fi network. Removing some of your connected devices can help free up some bandwidth space. You may then check to see if you will still experience the same connectivity issue. You may also check for possible sources of interference such as the thick walls and appliances in your home.

      If you have any other support concerns or needs, you´re always welcome to contact us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
