Customer Ratings & Reviews

The sound quality is much improved over the 1st gen, not that the 1st gen sound quality was bad. The 2nd gen is more bassy, without sounding muddy. The sleep tracking is more useful than I thought it would be. The sleep data is pretty in depth. The Soli gestures to play/pause music and to snooze alarms/timers is pretty cool as well.

If you own a Google smart display, it's likely that you have the first-generation Nest Hub. However, there are other options available, such as the Lenovo Smart Display powered by Google Assistant or the more expensive Nest Hub Max with a built-in camera. For many smart home consumers, the smaller Nest Hub, priced at $130 and frequently on sale, is the preferred choice. But now, there's a new model to take its place. The second-generation Nest Hub is not only smarter but also cheaper at $100. With its impressive features, it's definitely worth considering. However, Google has introduced a new feature called Sleep Sensing, which may be unsettling for some users, similar to Amazon's Echo Show 10.

I am really impressed with the Nest hub. I was looking at some other smart clocks when I found this item that is much more powerful, and comparably priced at the sale price I paid. It also integrates easily with my phone and the Google Home app. I am using it as an alarm clock mainly, but I like all of the added features of streaming music, controlling my smart lights, thermostats, and more. I also like that I can turn off the mike so I only have it on when I want to. If I want to set an alarm easily, I can flip on the speaker, and Hey Google the alarm settings, and turn the mike off again.

Easy to set up. I like asking the time or getting reminded to do things. I can ask for a recipe, set one or more timers or alarms, play music, ask for store hours for specific places. I can listen to the news....all in all, a handy device!

This makes a nice clock! I wish it had the option to just display the current outside temp without a clock but it doesn't. If you want to watch things like YouTube or Netflix on it then it's great to have but if you just want it for voice commands and to use as a speaker then you might want to just get the speaker. Really depends on what you want to do - but you will still need to have the "Google Home" app on a mobile device in order to make full use of this.

Can control just about all of your smart devices via this unit. Lights, appliances, Cameras, and provides decent sounding Music. Besides answering your questions, device is useful when you have multiple devices to communicate via broadcast messages, and leaving digital notes for your Gen Z household.

The update with sleep assist is worth the purchase. I was able to create a morning routine that uses the smart bulbs in my ceiling fan to slowly brighten my room to wake me up in the morning. Sound quality is good for music while I prepare for my day and doesn't take up a lot of night stand real estate.

I use this device as a bedside display it's very handy for some home applications and has a decent speaker i used to have a nest mini and I'm glad i upgraded to this is surprisingly good considering one how dim the display gets when you turn off all the light and two how customisable it is. But be carful it took me to a bit to figure out why my alarm kept defaulting back to the original sound apparently there is a bug with alarm routine and rise snd shine alarms however if you just set a normal alarm and choose a custome sound or music alarm it works just fine

I got it as a Christmas present and I love it! It can play white noise, music, podcasts, it can track your sleep, etc. I have 2 in the house, one in my bedroom and 1 in my kitchen. Overall a great product!

I love smart devices. Especially, smart hubs that will allow a user to integrate items in their home/ lifestyle to be used and connected. I had an opportunity to get this Google hub during a special sales promotion and because Google is such a reputable company, with strong smart devices. I decided to give it a chance. The display is a nice size. Clear, and with a bright visible screen. This will allow the user to connect to a few devices like a sound bar, a TV, and even smart bulbs and lights within their home. However, the connectivity is not universally present, like it is with the Amazon Alexa devices. Even little things like the display of the date and time are so minuscule when compared to the size of the actual screen, that it’s even hard to see it unless you’re up close. The speaker sounds good when & if you’re using it for podcast or audiobooks. But if you’re listening to music, it could be so much better! and lacks a lot of the characteristic and stereo quality needed for today’s genres. Value wise, I think it’s a good value but Google definitely needs to upgrade the functionality and even some of the smart component connectivity through the Google app. This can allow things to be even more seamless and easier to use. Especially for first time users. Ultimately, I think this item is good! not great! but there’s plenty of potential and opportunity for the future.

I absolutely love the nest hubs. They are the perfect size and can be placed in any room. The sound quality is pretty good, and the screen can get very bright.

We use this to monitor our kids nanny cams and control lights in the house. Works so well as a hub!

A convenient and stylish device for a smart home. Great for controlling gadgets, showing weather, recipes, and calendar. The Assistant is fast, and the screen is bright and responsive. Fits perfectly into any interior.

Enjoy having this basic version for my mother who just needs control of a few items in her house along with a photo albumn

This is the 2nd Nest Hub 7 inch I have purchased. I enjoy the digital picture frame but can also use google assistant and play music. Also recommend the Nest Hub Max. Larger size is nice and great wide screen for video calls.

The device is phenomenal and actually listens and understands what I'm saying. A warm welcome and switch from Amazon having you YELL and HOLLAR bc it never understands you.

It arrived quickly and setup was easy. I keep it on my desk and like having the time and weather always on. It's easy to use and responds quickly to selctions and security camera footage.

Easy to set up and stream music and recipe tutorials.

Really easy to use and set up. A great addition to our smart home. Same price as other digital photo frames as well.

Absolutely love this little device in automating my bedroom! I have 3 Feit lights, a Govee RGBIC light strip, and 3 Tapo-link smart plug outlets, and they all communicate effortlessly in their little subgroups (which you can make in the google home app). While I use my smartwatch for the most of my sleep tracking, Google adds room temp, sounds/noises, and general restlessness, which are great additions to understanding sleep patterns and causes for grogginess in the morning. In addition the sleep cycle tracking and breathing rate per minute readings are accurate and line up with my smartwatch readings as well. Just buy it, you wont regret it if you love connected tech! (or just use it for Spotify, it still pays for itself)
