Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen) is a fantastic smart display for any home. It’s compact, stylish, and works seamlessly with Google Assistant for controlling smart devices, playing music, or displaying photos. The sleep tracking feature is a nice bonus, especially for bedside use. While the sound quality is decent for its size, it lacks a camera for video calls, which may be a downside for some. Overall, it’s a great addition for those looking to enhance their smart home setup without taking up much space.

It just what I needed very informative and easy to program

Got this as a gift. The set up was very simple and quick! Once set up was complete, connecting it to my smart lights were very simple. The screen size is perfect. Just big enough to watch a instructional and small enough to be out of the way. I love being able to see and control all of my devices in one place.

Perfect, if you have a Google Echo system, just grab one of these in each room and you're good to go. Snappy, easy setup

Picture frame and security camera viewer and nice way to turn on lights and the TV off (but not on). Been a nice little addition to the corner of the kitchen. Able to play YouTube channels but Google Assistant gets it wrong a lot. But that's not a reflection on this device. Haven't used the bed stand function to track sleep. Would be useful if I didn't buy a Lenovo Smart Clock at the same time. The sleep function of this device was not well advertised. But to track sleep patterns without wearing a watch to bed would be nice. I forget it doesn't have a camera. I tried to Duo call my wife from work on my lunch break but this device lacks a camera. Wonder why it wouldn't convert to allow her to see me but I only get Audio? That would really made it a "Smart" hub.

I can easily play music with this small item. Fast and reliable.

Bought this for my son and he loves it, he controls his lights, TV, etc with it. The volume in the speaker is great too, I have one in my kitchen too and is great for recipes and listening music while cooking, also I can control my security camaras and stream live from this device. I definitely recommend this item

Very pleased with all of our Nest products, especially this one. It provides all the functionality of a Nest Hub Max without a camera. The lack of a camera is a necessity for our purchase as this Nest Hub is on a desk that happens to be in a sleeping area. Very happy with this product, would highly recommend it and have purchased others as Christmas for family members.

Great product. Works exactly how I wanted it to. Clear screen

I bought two of these to pair with my new Nest Doorbell, among other tasks. It paired easily with the doorbell and lights, and it also serves as a great entertainment option on my own or with guests. The small screen produces an excellent picture and the sound quality is very good.

Excellent product! Heavily used, and the pictures is a plus

Im very electronically challenged, but the set up was a breeze. If im watching a show, I can cast bring it with me to another room with the Nest. No longer have to search for soothing sounds for sleep, just ask google to play some. Get the outside weather/temp, with just a question. Tune to my favorite radio stations, with just a command. Turn the volume/lighting up/down, with just a command. Find out my sleep patterns and suggestions on how to improve it. I love it!!

I’m still getting use to it. It’s a cool assistant hub that speaks to most wireless device in the home. Easy to manage that way remote on the hub or by saying “hey google”. Pros: I have enjoyed setting alarm, playing relaxing music watching YouTube directly or it being link to play request on my tv. There are many features. Cons: I purchased this as a way to view my security systems set up. One, I which it had split screens to show multiple angles. The issue I have experienced is that the live feed will freeze on the screen. I then would have to unplug it to reset. Another is that it does not stay on too long stating feed not available. So great for entertainment not as great for security purposes.

Excellent quality, I love it for its different functions and perfect volume level

I recently purchased the Neat Smart Display with Google Assistant and I am absolutely thrilled with it! It is incredibly easy to set up and use, and the voice recognition is spot on. The display is bright and clear and the sound quality is good enough. I love being able to ask Google questions and get answers right away. It's also the perfect little jukebox when paired with YouTube Music.

Absolutely love this little gadget for my newly acquired smart home. Easy to install. Price was right. Some days are more challenging than others, but Google and I are finally being able to communicate. I finally figured out that he is not a mind reader. You have to be more precise with what you ask. I'm a senior citizen that is trying to enter the 21st century. So I am learning to be more patient with google as well as myself.

If you have $100, buy one of these instead of the Apple mini speaker. You get a colorful, touch-friendly screen, a very loud speaker, it acts as a hub, a Bluetooth speaker, and it can control all your smart home devices by voice or by navigating the screen. It plays YouTube videos right out of the box and understands you even if you're chewing food.

Defibktey couldnt say anythng bad about this product! Makes everyday tasks, reminders, and time to relax alot eaiser!

For context, let me be clear that I've never before owned or used a smart home hub device with a display so my experience with this product marks my first time. Here are my take-aways: First, Google assistant is responsive via voice and after using for about a week I can say this little guy picked up what I was saying accurately about 9/10 times or more. For whatever reason, Google devices tend to work more reliably with my hue lights than Apple's HomeKit or using other 3rd party apps, so that was solid as well. Also, this little thing is surprisingly decent for watching a quick YouTube video at my office desk or catching the news headlines during downtime. All good things, but here's where things fall apart: There's only limited app support so what you've got in the latest update is it. While I'm happy this thing has Netflix and Spotify, it'd sure be nice if it had at least 2 or 3 more mainstream options for streaming video. The real kicker for me though, is that I can't believe Android people put up with these interface issues and poor user experience. The system looks dated and its laggy as all heck - it feels like this thing is running with a 5 year old (or older) chip inside of it! Don't even bother using your finger or the gestures as the lag will frustrate you into just giving up and using your voice instead. I'm legitimately surprised that this is Google's gen2 "Nest hub" experience. I seriously expected more. All of that said, the sound quality is tolerable and the fact that this one will play video at all while I've been told the larger one doesn't is mind-boggling, so that's a plus. Am I satisfied with it? I guess so... but I don't think I'd ever pay full price or buy a second one without Google making improvements. Yes, yes, I understand this is the hub doing the most at its price range but the truth (for me) is that the Christmas sale price is what made it worth it for me and I couldn't see myself spending full retail for something this clunky and half-baked. It's like someone at Google had great ideas about life with ambient computers helping us and then outfitted said computers with gen1 Android processors and cheap parts. Not an ideal experience, seriously.
