The Google Assistant integration, reasonable price, and sleep tracking capabilities are also well-received. However, some customers have noted the absence of a camera and occasional sluggishness in responsiveness. Additionally, a few users mentioned compatibility issues with certain devices.

    We love our Nest Hub Smart Display! We bought a second one for our living room so we don't have to yell at the one we have in our kitchen! Use them for everything, they are great! Got it on sale at Best Buy!

    I now have 2 of these. I mostly use it as a rotating slideshow for my office and living room. But I love it has a lot of cool features and it is very small.

    Great for bedside, but not so much for the kitchen

    We have had a Lenovo Smart Display with Google assistant in our kitchen for the last six years and have loved it for providing a central video-based screen for Google Home functions. We often used it to give us recipes by saying something like “ok Google give me a recipe for the best krab cakes ever”. The device would then pull up recipes from websites that gave us a pictorial recipe at our fingertips. Well now comes “SafeSearch” from Google, which basically highjacked our Lenovo hub and prevented it from displaying ANY website. No more fingertip recipes. If we try the request above, a screen pops up saying it cannot show website views. And there is no way to disable SafeSearch in the Home app, nor is Lenovo updating the firmware to make the hub a SafeSearch compatible device. So to get our beloved visual recipes back, it seemed like we needed to retire the Lenovo hub and replace it with a Google hub. At least a Google device would be SafeSearch compatible. We purchased a 7” Nest Hub and brought it home for a try. Works great and did everything that our Lenovo did, including opening up websites again, The two downsides however are 1. Websites take considerable time to show up and load as you scroll down the screen. 2. Scrolling down the screen is done by swiping your finger up on the screen, but more aften than not you end up engaging the quick task bar at the bottom of the screen instead. The device clearly has a minimal chipset / memory, which is not surprising given the low price. It is also too small for decent scrolling operation. Our old Levono was an 8” device which was probably the smallest size to scroll properly with. Bottomline - we will be taking this back to Bestbuy tomorrow and give the big brother Goigle hub a try to see if it performs any better.. It is a bit concerning that Google basically deactivated website viewing on a device heralding this ability when we bought it. Google should at the very least allow the SafeSearch feature to be disabled if desired.

    I have this in my kitchen. The video and sound quality are pretty good. I can watch Tv, videos, listening to music, search up recipes, control lights, thermostat, broadcast dinner is ready, etc while working in the kitchen. It is very useful and helpful. You will need some time learn the correct voice commands but once you get the hang of it, it is piece of cake.

    I purchased this for my mother for Christmas so she can reach out to me easily without the need for a phone, Hey Google is much easier for her to say than Alexa or the various other Amazon wake words (she’s a recovering stroke patient). She’s now able to get through to me whenever she wants or needs to and is able to listen to music and get almost any new updates or questions answered that she might want. A great product to use for folks with speech issues as they are talking without really thinking about it.

    My family loves the Nest Hub. Its easy to set up and use. They can view the old and new photos that are constantly being uploaded, stream music and even watch certain uploaded streaming platforms. While cooking or just relaxing in our kitchen.
