    Perfect for what I need. I have a camera in the kids room and I use this to check in on them. Great for weather/Ask Google… It’s essentially a lite use tablet with a stand and a speaker.

    I bought this to allow me use the screen for more functions. To many limitations, couldn't search YouTube without using a phone. I doubt if a lot of people use the sleep function. The screen is also very laggy. The sound is much better then the mini though. Get this if you really need the screen.

    Simple set up, love the blue-ish color. The display is excellent at displaying photos and is a great digital photo frame. The screen is also dim enough to be able to be placed at bed side without disrupting sleep and acts as a night clock and a nice sunrise alarm.

    I have been switching many home devices over slowly to be compatible with a smart home device for future use and recently made the choice to use Google home assistant. So far the nest hub device has been very useful to automate things such as making sure no one left the tv or lights on, or forgot to lock the doors. It is great for setting timers and checking the weather. It’s just ok at playing Pandora radio. there is no way to search through our type in a station you just have to keep asking Google until you get closer to what you want. With Spotify you can control what is playing on the hub through your Spotifyapp on your phone. The only real downside is that I wish it was a little more intuitive or user friendly, but overall and having never had another to compare it to, it’s a greatly useful product and works well. It is also surprisingly smaller than I had envisioned, fits well in my kitchen.

    We have a Google speaker, but wanted the video component the Nest Hub adds. Keeping it in the kitchen it is convenient for following YouTube how-to s, easy to check how cold (!) outside, ask questions, and have it play podcasts when I am cooking. Love it.

    Second one we have bought. We originally bought the nest max and we found ourselves staring at the photographs so often in the kitchen. Bought the smaller one for my wife's office as we slowly turn out house into a smart house. Love them

    Despite troubleshooting certain issues on YouTube, errors persist. It is sometimes completely non-responsive, at other times will give different answers on one device than another, and say "I don't know" when another device gives me the answer the first time.

      Posted .

      Hello there, CIAKI. We’re sorry to hear that your experience with the features and performance of the Nest Hub (2nd gen) is below your satisfaction.

      A range issue or wireless interference can affect the performance of your display. Sometimes it may pass the connection test during setup, but will struggle to stay connected if it’s just a bit too far away. If your display is mounted too far from your Wi-Fi router, you may need to extend your Wi-Fi network’s range using an extender, boosters or additional Wi-Fi access points.

      Also, it may be helpful to retrain your Google Assistant to better recognize your voice. See the steps below on how to do this:
      - On your phone or tablet, open the Google Home app
      - At the top right, tap your Profile or initial and then Assistant settings and then Voice Match.
      - Tap Teach your Assistant your voice again and then Retrain.

      You’re more than welcome to contact us if more help is needed, here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
