    I am really impressed with the Nest hub. I was looking at some other smart clocks when I found this item that is much more powerful, and comparably priced at the sale price I paid. It also integrates easily with my phone and the Google Home app. I am using it as an alarm clock mainly, but I like all of the added features of streaming music, controlling my smart lights, thermostats, and more. I also like that I can turn off the mike so I only have it on when I want to. If I want to set an alarm easily, I can flip on the speaker, and Hey Google the alarm settings, and turn the mike off again.

    Another smart hub, but is it necessary?!

    I love smart devices. Especially, smart hubs that will allow a user to integrate items in their home/ lifestyle to be used and connected. I had an opportunity to get this Google hub during a special sales promotion and because Google is such a reputable company, with strong smart devices. I decided to give it a chance. The display is a nice size. Clear, and with a bright visible screen. This will allow the user to connect to a few devices like a sound bar, a TV, and even smart bulbs and lights within their home. However, the connectivity is not universally present, like it is with the Amazon Alexa devices. Even little things like the display of the date and time are so minuscule when compared to the size of the actual screen, that it’s even hard to see it unless you’re up close. The speaker sounds good when & if you’re using it for podcast or audiobooks. But if you’re listening to music, it could be so much better! and lacks a lot of the characteristic and stereo quality needed for today’s genres. Value wise, I think it’s a good value but Google definitely needs to upgrade the functionality and even some of the smart component connectivity through the Google app. This can allow things to be even more seamless and easier to use. Especially for first time users. Ultimately, I think this item is good! not great! but there’s plenty of potential and opportunity for the future.

    I got it as a Christmas present and I love it! It can play white noise, music, podcasts, it can track your sleep, etc. I have 2 in the house, one in my bedroom and 1 in my kitchen. Overall a great product!

    I use this device as a bedside display it's very handy for some home applications and has a decent speaker i used to have a nest mini and I'm glad i upgraded to this is surprisingly good considering one how dim the display gets when you turn off all the light and two how customisable it is. But be carful it took me to a bit to figure out why my alarm kept defaulting back to the original sound apparently there is a bug with alarm routine and rise snd shine alarms however if you just set a normal alarm and choose a custome sound or music alarm it works just fine

    This is the 2nd Nest Hub 7 inch I have purchased. I enjoy the digital picture frame but can also use google assistant and play music. Also recommend the Nest Hub Max. Larger size is nice and great wide screen for video calls.

    So glad I purchased this device. I recently purchased a high quantity of smart devices for my home and it is extremely useful to manages all of them from this hub. I was also surprised how loud the speaker is when either asking Google for assistance or listening to music.

    Love the display, the compact form factor, and sound quality for something so small. My only gripe is it doesn't have a camera like the hub max, but lacking a camera does make it more appropriate for bedrooms and bathrooms.

    Great addition to my google home from the google mini. The speaker is loud and clear, the microphone and voice capturing is spot on and I find myself not having to repeat myself. The customization and night mode are great.

    I purchased this night table clock, radio, display to track my sleep. I tis doing an OK job since it does not agree at all with my sleep tracking watch. I feel it is because next to the nest there are two persons and it takes an average of both. thanks

    Good product but confounding set up to activate

    Great product but horrible set up process. I recommend with reservations. Once set up, the device itself is great and super helpful. We use it in the kitchen and nice to have for controlling smart lights, playing music, weather, answering questions, etc. Set up however was horrible. You need to activate the unit through the Google Home App. I own a new Google Pixel 6 Pro phone, this should have been a simple process and completed with a few clicks but setup was not compatible with a Google device; only way to set up was through my kids Apple iPad by downloading the Google Home App onto it. I was able to figure this out after about 20 min but I could see how many people would give up and return it. If we didn't have an Apple device I don't know how we could have activated it. Manufacturer really needs to address this major flaw. Once activated, it can now be used through the Google Home App on our Android devices.

    We purchased 2 of these for our kids rooms and activated Google Kid mode. They like to listen to thunderstorm sounds at night when sleeping and the quality and connection is great. Have had 0 issues and does what it advertises.
