Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you're used to Google Home/Nest speakers then know that these are a remarkable step up in usability. Just having a display for timers alone makes it a pretty handy upgrade by itself. The place these really shine though is that photo display. They've incorporated an ambient light sensor that not only gets brightness but also color temperature. By balancing the color temperature and dialing back the brightness to only what's necessary they've managed to nail the effect of it not looking like a digital picture frame, but instead it simply looks like traditional printed picture. It's an intoxicating effect that I still marvel at. If you're looking for a digital picture frame then know that this is the Holy Grail of picture frames. Management is dirt simple, just fill a folder in your Google Photos and point the device at it. You can then just adjust the photo list at your leisure. While they do have light sensors for for the to help with displaying the pictures well note that these do NOT have a camera. So yes you can't use it for two way video calls or as Nest home security cameras but it also means that you can put them in bedrooms without any kind of video camera privacy issues. I just bought a number of these to replace Insignia Smart Speakers in the bedrooms after first living with the Max version in the kitchen.

I never thought I would want one of these but I like tech so I checked it out. This is honestly more useful than I originally gave it credit for. If you have Google powered smart devices and a Google ecosystem you will probably like this. The screen is large and easy to see. Very responsive to touch. It makes it super easy to control my house lights through the dedicated remote page that shows all my home devices for control. I have one in my kitchen and I love being able to cast my youtube videos and watch it them I wash dishes. The speakers are pretty loud so I can easy hear through the loud water when I'm dishwashing or cooking. It's nice to read recipes off that as well while cooking VS your tiny phone screen. She's also on the ready to create multiple timers that display on the screen for you while cooking. This is surprisingly more useful than I originally thought. You'd be surprised. And of course there's always the impressive speakers on this so you can simply listen to music.

My kids enjoy placing music on this device while it serves to monitor the nest doorbell. Enjoying it though I would prefer you buy the one with camera so you can call home via Google duo and talk to the kids

I purchased this Hub for my parents to set up all their smart home tech. This thing is amazing and is literally the hub. Once you get other devices, controlling them via the hub is so easy and futuristic. I then got one for myself. This is the first thing you need to get your smart home started. Also, you can listen to music on it, watch YouTube, etc.

We have three of these now, they're awesome. The sound is good (what i would expect for the price), very easy to set up and helps keep tabs on everything we need to. My only complaint would be that it disconnects from internet from time to time, but all three do that and it could very well just be my internet provider which is why im not taking off a star. The only other thing to be aware of is the motion sensing is very sensitive on default- one is behind the couch and if music is playing and someone tosses something onto the couch it will pause the music- took a bit to figure out what was happening lol so just something to keep in mind if you sort your laundry in your living room etc

The Nest Hub 7" Smart Display impresses with its compact design and smart features. The 7-inch screen is the perfect size for any room, offering clear and vibrant visuals. Its voice recognition is top-notch, thanks to Google Assistant, making daily tasks easier through voice commands. The device seamlessly integrates with various smart home devices, providing excellent control and monitoring capabilities. The sound quality is decent for its size, and the ambient EQ light sensor is a thoughtful addition, adjusting the display brightness according to the environment. It's a great choice for those looking for a smart display that's both functional and unobtrusive in a home setting.

These things are so easy to set up and so convenient to have. The touchscreen display is high quality and very easy to use, but you can also perform the bast majority of things by voice as well. I keep mine in my kitchen and it can hear commands from two rooms away. It is great as a stand alone device to get basic things (like getting recipes, setting timers/alarms, answering questions, playing music), but is also the best home automation hub on the market (controlling lights, adjusting thermostat, etc.). You DO have to purchase additional devices if you want to run smart home automations and your current devices are not Google compatible, but MOST smart devices are.

Great smart display! The Nest Hub 2nd Gen has a clear 7" screen and works smoothly with Google Assistant. Setup was quick, and it easily controls my smart home devices. The Chalk color looks clean and modern. I use it for music, timers, and checking reminders — very helpful every day. Highly recommend!

Great purchase with lots of benefits. Easy to set up and works great!

Great For the Kitchen, Family loves to settle arguments by “hey google” . Have all my home security cameras available to look at anytime, music, recipes, weather, reminders. And my favorite part is how i have it set up to recognize our faces and voices when using so everyones experience is personalized.

Picked up the Google Nest Hub from Best Buy and love it. It connects perfectly with my Nest doorbell, thermostats, and lights, and the photo frame feature is my favorite — seeing pictures of my family throughout the day is a great touch. Easy setup, smooth integration, and a great addition to my home. Highly recommend.

As a long-time Google Pixel user, i've gone all in on Google products. I got the Nest Hub display on sale for $43 which was a great value for this hub. I use it in my bedroom and it's great for displaying pictures, streaming media, and of course, accessing Google Assistant. It's also one of 2 products that Google put their Soli chip which allows you to use some hand gestures to stop and snooze alarms or play and pause music. I wish they had done more with the chip, but it's nice to be able to just wave at the hub for those quick gestures. The device is small, but the speaker sounds great and is enough to fill the average room with good audio. The device doesn't come with a camera though, which you may consider to be a good thing, but of course that means that you can't use any kind of video calling features or apps.

My Google Nest device enhances my music experience. The graphics are beautiful. a d the sound is high quality. The sale price was very reasonable.

From setting shared reminders to managing shopping lists, the Nest Hub effortlessly became the silent mediator, easing the burden of mundane tasks that once led to tension. Our evenings, once marred by the distractions of individual screens and the ceaseless buzz of notifications, found a harmonious rhythm thanks to the Nest Hub's smart display. It became the central hub for our shared interests, displaying our favorite photos, streaming relaxing music, and even suggesting recipes for our newfound joint cooking adventures.

In essence, the Nest Hub 7” Smart Display in Charcoal became the unexpected hero of our love story, mending the rifts and fostering an environment of understanding and togetherness. Its unassuming presence, backed by the power of Google Assistant, transformed our home into a sanctuary of love and shared moments. To say it saved our struggling marriage is an understatement—it redefined and revitalized our connection. In the soft glow of its display, our love found a new, harmonious rhythm, and for that, we are forever grateful.

I bought two of these to be used as clocks on our nightstands. Overall, I really like them! The dimming is perfect. Like, could not be better perfect. It's nearly instantaneous, and is perfectly visible in bright morning light coming in the window, and has such a low setting in pitch black, it's hard to imagine and LCD getting that dim. In fact, I'll go as far as to say it's the best clock I've ever had in my bedroom! Speaking of which, the sleep tracking, which as of now is free, is really cool. Being able to see how I slept vs how I feel in the morning is fascinating, and has led to me making some changes in my nighttime routine. It's a shame that it'll be a paid feature in the future. It gets four stars because the interface is just ever so slightly lagging. In an era of buttery-smooth Android and iOS interfaces, this feels like an interface from circa 2016. Not bad per se, but just not perfect either. Also, when having two in the same room, like on nightstands, when you say OK Google, they both respond, even with Voice ID on. They should be able to communicate and have only one respond. That said it integrates tightly with my smarthome setup, and being able to reach over and turn off my TV from it somehow feels like something from the future. I really like these little guys!

I was going to get a mini Google Nest as I already have two of them, but the display is SO nice. I've completely replaced my outdated alarm clock with this. It does everything any Google Home product does, just with an additional screen to show you more information. For example, if you ask about the weather for the day, it will vocally tell you, but the display will also show the weather for the next week with highs and lows. It also has a cool feature that dims and brightens the screen based on light it senses already in the room, so it isn't too bright at night. It was quite easy to set up, just like the others. It's a little bit of a pain to move one to a different room as you have to reset it and reconnect it, but it could definitely be harder.

This smart speaker/display is a great upgrade over the first generation. Now the main improvement is the sleep tracking and I’m here to tell you that it works and it works great. I’ve always wanted to be able to see how well I’m sleeping and I absolutely hate wearing a watch while I sleep, and this is solves that problem. During set up you tell it when you want to go to bed and when you want to wake up and it will remind you it’s time for bed before hand so you can get ready. It also sounds a lot better then the first generation. It sounds fuller with more base. Now it’s not going to replace a bigger speaker, but it’s not bad at all. It also loads and runs faster as well. Google did well here. Now I’m just hoping they’ll update the Nest Hub Max nest.

Love this little machine ! It keeps you entertained for hours ! Watch music videos, find out about the weather or what’s happening in the world ! easy to use gives all kinds of information that you ask !! Perfect for old and young alike ! Highly recommend!

Nice Google assistant. Nice looking display. Easy setup and works well with all devices, especially with voice command.

Love the aspect use it in the kitchen, it can send the robot vac out and like other smart devices and plays music. This device has many features that can potentially be overwhelming to some users that are not familiar with technology.
