    Great for kitchen to show recipes or answer random questions, I use it as digital album too thru google photos. 2nd gen is almost identical to the 1st gen, I was expecting more changes. It does have more sensor features like reading the room temp. The downside is the screen responds differently, more delayed despite screen highlighting selection, it could be user error and maybe a setting can change it but the screen seems thicker on this one requiring more pressure. Sound quality is fine but of course not like the jbl or lenovo speakers with google assist.

      Hi OptimisticT, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you’re experiencing a slow interface and response with Nest Hub (2nd gen).

      We could be looking at a possible connectivity issue that affects the overall performance of your Nest Hub, and it’s important to make sure that this is not caused by a spotty or weak Wi-Fi signal. We suggest checking your Wi-Fi network for a strong and reliable connection. If you have too many devices connected on the same bandwidth or if your network package is not enough to handle the data traffic on the network, removing other connected devices to your Wi-Fi may relieve network congestion. You can also try doing a factory reset to improve its performance.

      If you need assistance, you can always reach out to our support team You can contact us using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    My family truly loves this hub! The Google Hub helps with me reminding the members of my family when they have an activity scheduled to me announcing that dinner is ready. the Google hub has been a life changer more so than the other voice command products that we already have.

    We bought ours to put in the kitchen. Works great for recipes and I can listen to music while I toil. I really enjoy seeing my pictures from my Google Photos every time I walk by the fridge. Ended up buying a second one for the bedroom. Will Sleep Sensing, the screen dims automatically to a barely visible clock. Enough to see in a pitch black room without disturbing my sleep - a must for me! All in all it's a simple and intuitive device.

    Excellent product, quality, and super clear image. It notifies you of package delivery or people passing by, and the doorbell shows an image of a person at the entrance. Highly recommended.

    This works great if you can connect a lot of your devices to Google. But it is REALLY SLOW TO RESPOND. Sound quality is pretty good, but UI is laggy

    I've been using the Nest Hub for about 2 months now. It's really nice. Google understands your voice out of the gate, and it has restrictions on what it can and cannot do (like it won't unlock the front door, and it needs permissions to execute things like spending money, BUT it can play music and turn on lights without extra permissions.) It really ties together the features of a smart home, and I'm really happy with the purchase.

    For the price, the built and quality is excellent. The speakers and screen are great loud and bright. The UI can stutter at times and Google Assistant can confuse this but these are small things when compared to the overall product. They should add a camera for next models.
