Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great product. Works exactly how I wanted it to. Clear screen

Works great as a bedside smart hub. Picture quality is okay. Sound is a bit better than previous gen. The sleep tracking feature is effective in monitoring sleep. The hand gesture controls are great to have because sometimes, it's easier to wave your hand than say the magic words just to pause or stop your music.

Love it! So great, helpful handy and nice. I love the waking up effect the attentiveness google gives and the quality it produces. Definitely recommending to friends and family, and buying it as a gift for others.

The sound quality and the screen are great, but the lack of a web browser for displaying recipes or the ability to use the search function in YouTube kind of defeated the purpose of buying this for the kitchen. Eh, it’s fine.

Excellent product! Heavily used, and the pictures is a plus

I caught these on sale and brought two. They were easy to set up with my nest Cams and have nice sound. They are great for bedside and kitchen appliances.

Hear about the Sleep Review feature on the 2nd generation hub and I wanted to give it a try. The Google hub itself is a wonderful assistant. Ties easily into my Google account. Like the looks of the device. The speakers sound great and I really like to hear my music played on the hub. As for it's ability to monitor my sleep ... well ... I'm underwhelmed. First the hub must be located VERY close to the bed. I had to pull it to the very edge of my nightstand for it to be able to recognize me in bed. I sleep with a fan blowing on me to stay cool and I think the noise of the floor fan interferes with the hub's ability to "sense" my sleep. The values I get each night are definitely not accurate. I also don't like the fact that sleep monitoring will be a paid service next year. Grrrr. Anyway, the hub is a good tool and I'll continue to use it, but until the sleep monitoring function is improved save the difference and get the 1st generation model.

I bought this for the sole purpose of using it as a live-updating digital photo frame with pictures from Google Photos. It has worked great for this - my only complaint is it has a tendency to show older photos more frequently than new ones, and the same ones do appear multiple times within a short period of time. However, this is probably due to something with Google Photos, not the hub itself. I've also used it quite a few times to stream Spotify from my phone, and the speaker actually sounds quite good given its size. Bass and treble both sound pretty balanced and not tinny. I don't use any of the home automation features or much of anything else aside from streaming music and photos, but it does work great for both of those things!

Once you get the hang of this. Setup is so easy. Bought Nest Hub 7" for my mom and she loves it. Sounds great. What would be great is to have the calendar show on the whole screen.

I LOVE this thing. Google at the sound of your voice in listening range. I have one in living room and one in the bedroom. You say good morning Google and it gives you the weather, the news, and a joke to start the day. Say good night and it monitors your sleep, plays cool sounds to go to sleep by and will wake you up when you’re ready. If i could get it to wash clothes and do dishes, life would be Grand!

This smart display is a very cool smart home gadget! I really enjoy using it for a digital photo frame as well as to control my smart home with ease. This device is definitely made for a bedroom and is the perfect size. I think the Nest Hub Max would look too big. Also, keep in mind that this device does not have a camera.

We love these, we have 4 now. Get these on sales for $50, love them in the kitchen and bedrooms. Can access all our smart cameras, cast and stream music. They’re great additions to any room

This replaced an Amazon Echo Show in my bedroom, and I have zero thoughts of going back. I enjoy the larger screen and the functionality with my Google Calendar and To-Do lists. The speakers are decent for a unit this size.

Love watching the pictures and listening to music in my kitchen!

I want to point out before I write this review that I did pay 50% off on all 3 of the devices I purchased, so this is based on a price of $50, not the full list price of $99. That being said, I think these were a good deal on sale and they work a heck of a lot better than Amazon Echo Dots that I had been using. They seem to listen to my wife, which the Echos refused to do, and they are pretty quick to respond to commands. Routines can be set so that you can control multiple actions at a time when you say a specific phrase, which is great for settling down at night (i.e. Ours turns the lights off and turns the air purifier on with the phrase "Okay Google, Good night." Super useful for us. The display is also very useful as it can show you weather, music that is playing on your chosen service, your calendar events, etc. I even use this to quickly view my cameras, which is a nice feature as well.

This is a great Google hub addition to our home. If you have all Google products I recommend you purchase this product! It’s controls all our our appliances and light in our home.

Great product, screen adjusts to the brightness of the room. I can cast shows to it while I’m in the kitchen, I have a photo slideshow of fun memories going all the time.

This thing rebooted itself 3 times after first scanning it's QR code. Google has left me stuck in a security boot loop. Locked out of what I thought was my own account. An Assistant who recognizes my daughter's voice, but tells me to go to the Google Home App to program and give it permission. Knowing fully well that I've been unable to do so. I'm treated as an unrecognized guest in my own home and on my own devices. Samsung and Google partnered yet competiting against each other & far from on the same page with it's customization services. I talk to it on my Android Pixel 10 & it responds on the Hub currently to go into it's Home App knowing full well that I cannot do so. Google is trash. I lost my nearly decade long career as a result of too much tech gone wrong, and no humans to be found. Best Buy had me call across the world to stand in line amongst many others for my 20 minute appointment window with a tech expert who seemed to know less than I. After being in Developer Mode on Google's original Pixel Fold and working on several work/learning endeavors; Google refuses to escalte me to Tier 2 Support. Google makes it seem as if I were trying to circumvent it's policies when genuinely looking for help & wanting a real person to trouble shoot with. Now I've got broken Samsung Chromebook Pro, broken Google Pixel 10 & broken Hub while my number of accounts continues to multiply Geminis Gboard instantly bumped me back a screen and I'm sure will most likely delete this review from being publish. Google has caused me to miss my daughter's bus pick up after texting my sister "Hi. I am the bus, and my AT&T calls routed away from me. It's a scary reality that I don't even own the devices which were bought and paid for by me. What a time to be alive!

Nice little screen that does more than what you want it to do. My wife likes a lot and purchased another one beside kitchen. Play songs, watch your photos and way more, love it.

Nest Hub has work well in my small office and the sound is great Highly would recrecommend for smaller office, kitchen or childs bedroom.
