Customers are saying

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.

    Currently superior to Alexa

    It's nice to have a home assistant that actually responds to my wife's voice and not just mine. Enabling the voice activation elements for all users is not intuitive, so I think there are some Interface issues they need to work on, thus the reason for dinging the device 1 star. As for comparisons to Alexa, I've had a lot of problems with Alexa not working with all of my Wi Fi devices. The Nest Hub does not have similar problems. The visual screen that portrays actual information is a bonus. I would recommend this device over Alexa and I've had about 4 years of experience with Alexa prior to buying the Nest Hub.

    I LOVE IT!! Very compact. Screen easy to read and dims automatically at night so not so bright when you are trying to sleep. The "wave hand" functions were an added bonus that I was not aware at time of purchase and so handy.

    I'm a Google Girl! I wanted the 2nd generation of the Nest Hub. The photos are great and the sounds of music are really clear and don't forget it monitors your sleep.

    Honestly a must have for any Google based smarthome. I use this mainly for my kitchen for hands free cooking and recipe assistance and it's also very helpful for setting timers and asking any questions you may have.

    My biggest issue is that you cant change the wake word. It serves as a better alarm clock than Alexa. And I have YT music so no need for another music subscription. It has a watch you while you sleep mode, but you need to get the worlds most perfect night stand for that to work.

    Useful smart device. Understands voice commands better than Alexa, has more information to provide, and controls smart home devices. If you use Google photos, it can display a slideshow of your best pictures.
