    I mean for 50 bux it's really not bad. It's basically a smart TV that can sit on your desk and you can use voice command. The audio is pretty good for background music too. Recommended.

    Absolutely LOVE this product. We purchased it for our parents as a photo frame. Great solution for half the price with all the Google features. Photos are being pulled straight from Google photos folder. Excellent buy!

    Not as useful as I hoped. It’s interface is difficult to maneuver. I didn’t want to use my voice to make it function but it always wants you to. There are no directions for it and googling how to get to certain settings or setting it up to be more personalized just made it a headache! It’s a clock and occasionally I am able to make it play music through pandora but it just picks a random station and starts whatever music it feels like. It also doesn’t show room temperatures with the nest features… it shows me the thermostat which I have on my phone and the wall… I wanted more detailed information from the nest part of this thing because if I’m not home and someone else is they should be able to see everything I own through nest — a google product— but it doesn’t function that way. I am used to straightforward easy functioning apple products so this just sucks in comparison.

      Hi Cole96, we’re glad to have your feedback on Nest Hub (2nd gen). We appreciate that you find it a great device to bring your Google Home devices into your home, and we hear your concerns about having a built-in camera. The Nest Hub (2nd gen) is the updated version of the Nest Hub. And like its previous version, it has no Nest Cam built-in, though we added some features.

      We always listen to what our customers like you share with us to better understand your preferences and needs. So we released the Nest Hub Max with a built-in camera which will help your busy family stay in touch and on track. Leave video messages and make video calls. Check in on home when you’re away with the built-in Nest Cam. Share reminders and to-dos. Everyone views their own calendar, commute, and more with just a glance. And enjoy Google Photos, YouTube TV, videos, and music on the 10-inch HD screen with stereo speakers. See this link for more details: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9334359

      For questions, concerns, or anything we can be of help, you’re always welcome to visit us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Lots of options for personalization. Can be a bit intimidating but if you sit down and plan out what your going to use it for you'll find more uses than you originally bought it for.

    I traded in all my Amazon devices for four of these. They work really well they're really responsive. I do wish the touchscreen had more functionality.

    One of the best smart display on the market today . Fast and responsive . Only wished that the setup / resetting would have been done on the hub itself instead of using a smartphone to do it.
