Customers appreciate the Nest Hub 2nd Gen for its ease of use, sound quality, and ideal screen size, especially for bedside use. 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.

    Good Buy

    This is a good purchase, but I bought it to upgrade from my 1st gen Nest Hub. Then, I realized that I wouldn't ever use the sleep monitoring feature, rendering the upgrade completely worthless so I ended up returning it. But if you're buying this as a new Nest Hub, it's worth every penny.

    I had been debating purchasing this with my Nest doorbell because of the compatibility and if i were to have the doorbell ring while i was in a different room, that I wouldn't have to unlock my phone, and open the app. My only complaint is that this model isnt capable of video calls on Google Meet (previously Google Duo).

      Hi Tanaya, thanks for the feedback you shared about the Nest Hub (2nd gen). With a Nest display, you’ll be able to see who’s at the door. You can also connect the Nest display and set up visitor announcements if you want to get notified when someone rings your doorbell. If you’ve set up a Nest camera or doorbell, it should already be added to the Google Home app. After you’ve added the camera, you can even use your voice to stream your camera video. Check the links below for more details:

      Get doorbell visitor announcements on a speaker or display: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7672451
      Stream your security camera using your Google Nest display: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9137164

      Also, you can make and receive video and audio calls with other Duo users on your Google Nest or Home speakers or displays using Duo. While Duo is being updated to Google Meet, there’s no change to the experience on your Nest speakers and displays. You can continue to call friends and family as you normally would on your speaker or display. You can visit this link to learn more about this feature: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9165631

    The Nest Hub 2 works well and can display some streaming services on it too. The Sleep Sensor functionality is finicky, it took several weeks (and a device reset) of having it next to my bed for it to finally start recording data. Overall it has been helpful.

    Sure, being able to say 'Hey Google, whats the capital of New Hampshire?' is awesome. But whats better is setting it up with smart lights and saying 'Hey Google, turn out the lights' while all cozy in bed.

    This is great! My wife loves using this for her music too. It has a bit of a lag to it and there are a bunch of things on the menu that we wish we could take off, but it won't allow us to customize it. Other than that, it's great.

    Bought this as a gift for my mother. Google Photos on this makes it easy for me to share photos with her of the grandkids and they auto rotate. She doesn't use all the features of Google Assistant but the photo frame, the alarms and timers and getting recipes are frequently used.

    Very nice unit but I am having a rough time trying to set up 1 wifi plug and can’t figure it out got others to work but not this one Very sharp picture and it responds very fast. Have it hooked up in my kitchen very easy to see time and the background changes with the weather it also changes brightness in the setting to change with the ambient lighting

    Bought this unit to help keep things hands-free while taking care of the baby. Helps me turn the lights on and off, monitor the cameras, pick songs for putting the baby down (with music). This thing really helps me keep my hands free while i do other stuff.

    I bought this hub as a gift for a family member, this gift was meant for them to display their photos on the display and have a speaker at the same time. Every time I visit them I see how much they find this device to be so useful. Will definitely be picking up for myself (especially when on sale).

    It's a digital photo frame, tells me the weather, and plays rain sounds to put my S.O. to sleep. It is worth what I paid.

    I love these Google hub minis. Nice tool to have around for quick checking of the weather or to set yourself a quick reminder. Or if you just want to listen to some music. I find these units to be very convenient.
