    There are so many reason to love the Google Nest Hub 7". I have the Max in my Kitchen/Dining Room area to view recipes, stream movies while cooking or setting at the island working on my laptop, etc. I bought the 7" Nest Hub for my bedroom to view my outdoor security cameras when i get an alert at night, as a digital photos (that's me in the movie Social Animals), control my smart home devices, play games, stream movies, music, video calls (no camera) other great things you can do with your Google Nest Hub. I grouped my Nest Hub with my Google Speaker located in another room to play music; I can even place my google speaker aside my Nest Hub to create a surround sound when watching movies which I plan to purchase another speaker for this purpose.

    Super convenient to load up our tv and apps with voice control. We also set it up to control our thermostat. It also works with youtube music. The speakers have surprisingly great sound!

    Smart Home Control Station

    The perfect option for managing your smart home devices. Not only do you get the usual Google Assistant functionality, but you get much more! View your cameras, turn on/off your lights, watch YouTube, and so much more! Having a quick glance at the home screen saves me time and effort to check the time, weather, date, and any calendar events. One small downside I’ve encountered is the occasional lag/frame drops when initially switching through different screens. Other than that, everything works great. Find the perfect place for this and start creating the perfect home!

    overall, I love the design. bezels could be thinner but it doesn't bother me too much. Speakers are good for a digital assistant and the display resolution is much better than a previous echo show I had. (I upgraded because my echo show started displaying tons of lines across the screen). Im a little worried about burn-in issues with this display as it doesn't refresh and move the time into different places like the show did. OH and sleep sensing is so cool! I haven't compared it with my Apple Watch but it does seem pretty accurate.

    Google home features good speakers for playing music but also makes interactions with other devices like nest thermostat or other displays with ease. Only problems are connecting G-Suite accounts and not having a browser app.

    I’m using my nest hub in my bedroom. So Convenient. I can control the speakers I have in every room, my TVs, fan and light. It’s endless what you can do with these devices. I can’t imagine being without them now. I really like the sleep feature. The only con I have is when I say “ hey google “, all my devices want to answer.

    It is a decent product, I don’t use it as much as I thought I would. Has some idiotic things which I hope will be fixed in a future update though. First off, you can not edit your Home Screen to pick what functions you want to see when you use it at a glance. Could be fixed in a upcoming update. The biggest pet peeve I have about it is it is trying to get me to play all these games. On some screens there are buttons that take up have the display trying to make me play find my fish or whatever. I didn’t get this since I want to play games and I doubt anyone did, and after talking to support there is no way to edit this as of now.

    I bought this as a media player for my house plus its a good reference point when the grand kids ask weird questions. Thankfully the cat can’t say “Hey Google” although she does talk to the screen saver. It’s also a good voice assistant for a smart house my wife prefers her over Alexa.
