    I walked into Best Buy for a pick up and I was so shocked to see how cheap this was. $60! I believe. So I had to get one. It’s super easy to use. If you have the google nest, you definitely need to upgrade.

    Works well, A little small but has good resolution and decent sound. Integrates with many Google assistant products easily. I just wish there were a better app than the nest app for the computer.

    Does what i want it to do and with no hiccups or major complaints. If you have the budget, opting for the Max version would be ideal imo. I purchased at the sale price during black friday sesson.

    I bought this is as a gift for someone exclusively as a digital display. If you use Google Photos, it's pretty easy to setup. Bonus: it's a smart speaker so they want to go beyond that, it's available to them.

    I have many Alexa products in the house, but having a Google nest hub fills in the blanks that Alexa leaves and often is better for doing some tasks.

    The Nest Hub gets a 4 star from me because the screen is really slow. I push a button and it takes like 5 seconds and lags the entire time it does it. Other than it good. Speaker good. Would recommend

    I really wanted this so my wife could watch shows while she cooks, look up recipes, have good take notes, use it as a timer, play my kids songs, and use for our home security. Overall I’m impressed with it.

    Great little hub for sound and display interface. Right now it is in the kitchen but I will be buying the larger hub for that space and put this one bed side. I can't wait to use it to monitor my sleep.

    Google Home devices have gone downhill

    It is slow, sometimes taking up to 30 seconds to respond. It has completely wild misinterpretations of requests. For example, I'll ask it "Turn off family room TV" and it will respond "Master Bedroom TV is not available". The worst is when I ask it to turn off an outlet I have labeled "Microwave" to child proof a microwave my 2 yo son can reach. I'll say "Turn on Microwave" and it responds with "turning on 7 lights" and proceeds to turn on every smart bulb in the house while most people are trying to sleep. Seriously, you have to annunciate to a ridiculous level, it takes too long to understand, and sometimes just does random stuff that is nothing close to the request. I feel like everything Google makes has just gone downhill the last 2 years. I'll deal with the google crap I have now until it's worth replacing it all with a better brand

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Hello there, JonG. We appreciate you sharing this with us and are sorry to learn that you're experiencing some difficulties with your Nest Hub(2nd gen).

      Retrain Voice Match:
      - On your phone or tablet, open the Google Home app.
      - At the top right, tap your Profile picture or initial and then Assistant settings and then Voice Match.
      - Tap Teach your Assistant your voice again and then Retrain.

      Change Nest Hub's Hotword sensitivity:
      - Open your Google Home app.
      - Select your Nest Hub.
      - At the top right, tap the Settings (Gear) icon. - Then tap Audio.
      - Then tap "Hey Google" sensitivity and adjust the slider to make your Nest Hub more responsive to the Hotword.
