    Absolutely worth $50. I have the Google minis and those were worth it for what I was using them for. I really wanted the hub to see my camera videos but I didn’t think it was worth $100. Well, I got it on sale and it’s awesome! It has a slide show of all my favorite photos and does what the Google minis do plus show weather without asking and live camera feed.

    Easily one of the worst electronic devices ive ever owned...When it works its fine, but this is my second of this version and they literally have the attention span of a two year old. Randomly, multiple times a week it just decides it no longer wants to hear anything you say, and i don't mean the "i dont know what you mean", it doesn't even acknowledge the "hey google". Then 1/4 of the time when it does actually acknowledge you it either takes 10 minutes to do what you ask/said, or just fail outright. I've had the exact same issues with both units

      Hi Jpnst315, thanks for reaching out. We're sorry to hear that you are having some difficulty with getting responses when giving voice commands on Nest Hub (2nd Gen).

      Adjusting your Nest Hub's mic sensitivity and retraining it to better recognize your voice can be helpful with the issue. Check out the steps below:
      Retrain Voice Match:
      - On your phone or tablet, open the Google Home app.
      - At the top right, tap your Profile picture or initial and then Assistant settings and then Voice Match.
      - Tap Teach your Assistant your voice again and then Retrain.

      We also recommend changing Nest Hub's hotword sensitivity:
      - Open your Google Home app.
      - Select your Nest Hub.
      - At the top right, tap the Settings (Gear) icon.
      - Then tap Audio.
      - Then tap "Hey Google" sensitivity and adjust the slider to make your NestHub more responsive to the hotword.

      If the issue remains, we suggest contacting our support team and work with you to isolate the root cause of the issue. You can reach out to us using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
