Customer Ratings & Reviews

Not sure why I didn't buy one of these sooner...we have Google home/nest home devices all over our house and this is a great addition. We bought two. One for the living room and 9ne for the bedroom. They make excellent photo frames while also serving as a smart speaker

It's over priced for what is actual does. I recommend the bigger one.

I use apple phones, however, the apple HomeKit is very limited for products to work with a smart home. I bought these, so I can view my cameras, video call, etc.. with many more products than apple home kit allows.

Works as expected. I got it on the deal for $49 so it is a great value that money. The voice sensitivity is good. I would buy couple of more to put in different rooms if find on deal. The audio quality os impressive.

Fantastic by for the price. Everyone I’ve bought one for really enjoyed them

The new hub 7' display is great to have and staying in connect with family and music.

Excellent product! Was purchased as a gift with other Google Home items and works flawlessly! Excellent sound and functionality!

Overall, terrible for "smart" features. Purchased during Black Friday/ Holiday sale, and not even worth it at that price, let alone full price. 'Hey Google' is painfully slow, many seconds of delay shown by the "live" transcription of your query. It often doesn't even respond to the wake phrase "Hey Google" fast enough to catch your whole question, so if you repeat yourself you end up asking Google a duplicate question. The processor is most likely to blame, as even using the touchscreen is noticeably laggy, with delayed reactions, and stuttering animations. You'll often have to repeat touchscreen gestures because it just wont respond accurately. It can't even animate sliding photos or menu options smoothly. Then it goes onto the smart features, If you want to pair it with a compatible camera, Arlo for example, it takes ages for it to load. And you have to say "Camera" as part of the word, such as "Hey Google show me the Doorbell Camera" not just "Doorbell" which it can't understand and brings up a Google websearch for "Doorbell". A cheaper, but smaller 5" Gen 2 display from a competing brand handled this much better with way faster response times, and you can just say "Hey -----, show me the Doorbell" and it shows. Also when the camera did show, it was way more 'washed out' compared to the competitor, and a much lower frame rate as well. Accessing the manual smart home features for light controls and other smart home integrations was much better than the competitions, however the slow response times of the device basically made those integrations useless. Really the only thing great about it was its ability to show your Google Photos, especially if you auto sync your phone photo gallery automatically with Google Photos. It offers a hands free slideshow, that almost appears curated. You dont have to manage photo albums, or uploading any photos manually, it just shows what you've already synced. I've factory reset it a couple of times, and made sure it was on the latest firmware, but online reviews have commented on its poor performance from many months ago, so I have no hopes it will be fixed soon. So I've returned it. Overall, its a pretty good photo display (for those using Google Photos) but an awful smart display.

This device is the best! From clock to personal assistant in one!

Excellent purchase . Helpful around the house . Integrates well with applications

Great purchase. Amazing additions for my home automation

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.

Love this Google. I had a Google mini, but wanted to upgrade. So I got this and it’s amazing. I can look at my cameras, watch shows, and easily control my music.

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.

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.

Intuitive set-up, features & functions pretty good. Sound is average.

Bought for gift, it seems to be working fine, when I visited my Brother's house.

We love this item for our everyday use and control of the house

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

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).
