    Had some issues getting it to connect to my WiFi but once you get past the mesh router it worked fine!

    I bought it mainly to replace my clock which is an over kill but it has so much to offer. There’s a bit learning curve but works very well.

    It's a fun device, but it's a lot slower than phones or dedicated tablets. It's great to have as a photos display and to get visuals to your Google searches rather than using a smart speaker.

    This device is amazing! Always recommend google smart home to friends and family who are interested. This is a must have. Only cons would be that the speaker is a bit weak, needs more power/bass.

    It has a lot of neat/cool features. Practically, though, I mostly use it to play music in my kitchen and as an alarm clock in my bedroom (it also controls my bedroom lights). Every day or two, the Hubs will all disconnect from the wifi and be unusable until I go through the setup process with all of them in Google Home again (it's tedious, and I can't turn my bedroom lights on without google home...). When they do work, they're pretty good. The sleep tracking is useless, not worth paying for (especially if you share a bed).

      Hi there BeefSupreme, we're glad to hear you liked the cool features of Nest Hub (2nd Gen). We do apologize for the disconnection issue you are experiencing.

      Here are some recommended steps you can try that can prove to be helpful with the issue:
      - Check for possible congestion in your Wi-Fi network. Removing some of your connected devices can help free up some bandwidth space. You may then check to see if you will still experience the same connectivity issue.
      - You may also check for possible sources of interference such as the thick walls and appliances in your home.
      - Resetting Nest Hub is also a good idea to try out. This process will erase all data and you may need to set up your account again. To reset, check out this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7073477

      If you still experience the same issue, please consider contacting our support team for further troubleshooting and isolation here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Though it can do everything a smart-speaker should, there are few things you would expect the display to do, but it doesn't. Still great value for money though

    Eeehh, sadly returned it because its slow, the only reason i wanted was to view my Eufy camaras without using my cell phone on my bed side table and it takes sooo long to load the camaras... bit annoying to set up at first.

    It's 2021 and this device can't make sure a smooth feeling of control. If you don't plan to use it through your fingers(touch), it is great. Otherwise, I would recommend to buy the Max version.

    I've been reasonably happy with the Google Nest Hub 7. I really am enjoying monitoring my sleep patterns through the built-in sleep tracker. I've also enjoyed having bedtime and wake-up routines. I just wish I could figure out a way to have this integrate with a to-do list software - none of them work as advertised!
