A lot of content for a great price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this for my parents as a photo screen that automatically adds images from their Google Photos account, and they've started using it for recipes and youtube tricks as well. Great deal.

||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like having this hub close by to control all the lighting in my house and to check the weather as well. I don't really use it outside of those functions.
I would recommend this to a friendBetter Than Just A Speaker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Google’s assistant seems to have gone down hill some, with that in mind this display assistant is convenient and a much better user experience than just the speaker assistants. It’s also effective for home security systems, though can lag at times to load things like doorbell video. Which may not also be the displays fault, solely.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My little Next Hub Smart Display seems to work just great! My experience buying it at Best Buy was excellent as well. I'm looking forward to learning more about what it can do besides controlling my smart outlets.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So fun to use this with other Google Nest products. Our house is equipped with most of it now. We love the fun features like being able to call from the wifi on this and leave messages for people at home.
I would recommend this to a friendNo Smart Home Needed
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very helpful home assistant. Even if you don't have a smart home set up, it's still lovely to use as an alarm, timer, or to look things up. I personally use this in my college dorm room.

It's a great product

I would recommend this to a friend Could be better
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good but could be better. There should be an option to set alarm via app rather than use voice only. Weather info should display day and 7 day forecast with humidity and pollen count. My Lennox smart thermostat has weather display from weather.com that is great. Wish this Google Hub can do the same. Overall a decent value for the price.
I would recommend this to a friendHard to go without a Hub
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love my Google Hub smart display. This is my third display for my home and I love each one. Great for asking Google random question, as an alarm clock, a timer, weather channel, etc......

I would recommend this to a friend Good in some aspects, bad in others
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After have purchasing the nest hub and alexa show 8 Ill compare the two. Overall the nest hub is a kind of cool gadget to have if you set it up on a desk or night stand(more likely night stand). Some of the things i like are the sleep habits feature that record snoring time, actual sleep time and other stuff (i know some people will want privacy though). Another cool thing is the fact that it has youtube, Spotify, and obviously google music. Unfortunately, theres a lot of stuff i dont like about it. Firstly, the operating system is horrible. Almost every function or menu that you tap will make it lag while processing what you tapped on, which you can deal with but the fact that it feels like a old piece of tech kinda urked me. Another thing is on the youtube app, you CANT SEARCH VIDEOS. I mean that should be a basic function? Instead you get a lineup of RECOMMENDED videos, be it videos you might like or random videos you'd never thought of even watching

Posted .Hi Mclovin, thanks for sharing your detailed experience with us, and for letting us know about the issue. We´re sorry to hear about the lag issue and your disappointment with some of its features.
Lag issues are mostly related to possible congestion in your network. Nest Hub depends a lot on your Internet connection. We recommend disconnecting some of your connected devices to free up some bandwidth space, and to see if you will still face the same issue. If you verify the presence of congestion, contacting your Internet service provider for a possible upgrade of your bandwidth is also recommended.
We understand that voice commands can be challenging, especially when you want to search for a specific channel on YouTube. However, to play videos from a YouTube Channel, or artist, just say the hotword and the following command with the name of the YouTube channel you would like to watch:
- “Play John Oliver videos on YouTube"
- "Play Casey Neistat videos on YouTube"
- "Play Adele videos on YouTube¨
