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.

    Satisfied with Purchase

    I am happy with the display of the Nest Hub, but I had to replace it because the screen cracked when the device accidentally fell. The fall wasn't even severe, but it must have encountered something that caused the damage. It would have been helpful if screen protectors were available for purchase or included with the device. Perhaps there are screen protectors designed specifically for the Nest Hub, or maybe there are similar devices, like iPads, of the same size that offer compatible screen protectors. Fortunately, replacing the Nest Hub was simple because I had a Best Buy membership at the time.

    Purchased two of these displays when they were 50% off. Display is very clear and the sound is great. Menus/apps are a little tough to navigate and you are better off just asking google to do it for you. I'll definitely be buying more to replace my bed side clock.

    I had the original version of this device and was looking to add to another room. One noticeable difference is the improvement in sound, both volume and tone. Have not tried the sleep sense portion of the device, but it was easy to configure, just getting the placement right might take some time.

    Overall a good product but a few issues. Lots of streaming services listed on the box, but very kludgy to accually connect to them, much more akin to the original dumb Chromecast with its own display. Assistant might be best feature, but I don't use it.

    Like Sleep Tracking and this Nest Hub 7". Looks great in bedroom. I have 2 units now, happy. Sleep tracking free in 2023 but subscription in 2024 for services like health etc.

    This Nest Hub is a great home control center. If you have smart lights or other smart devices you can control them right from this Nest Hub. The speaker is good and get pretty loud. The only complaint that I have about this is that the display is a little small. Overall a great product.

    I love all of my Google products, but these nest hubs have been the best. They record my sleep so I can see if I am sleeping well, they are great alarm clocks, great to ask questions, and amazing for finding recipes.

    This is a simple device that connect to your Google ecosystem and therefore can be very useful. If you are in an apple ecosystem it may not be great at which point I would recommend the amazon echo.

    I love these things. I have 4 spread around the house & they make for a great Google Home speaker group. It's not going to knock the socks off an audio nerd but it sounds good. It's good for a Google dashboard & answer center. The video quality is also very good.

    I love this. I switched everything in my home to Google products once I got my Google Pixel 7 Pro, and I have no regrets. Likewise, I used to have Alexa devices, but these are so easy to use and the Google Home Kit is very user-friendly.

    The Google Nest Hub looks and sounds great! Quick and easy setup. The only issue I have had is with voice commands for turning the volume up/down. Some times it works fine and others it just doesn't do anything. Rebooting the TV and Nest resolves the issue but still an annoyance.

    I wasn't expecting the photo frame as my main dispay to be one of my favorite parts! I already knew I liked using google assistant on an old speaker for timers and alarms but now I have extras with having a display. And the size is nice.
