Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love this because I have in the kitchen and spoke for music

I bought this on sale to give it a try to help with everything I have in my house automation. Already having items like the Nest Doorbell Cam, it made sense to stay in the Google ecosystem. The screen is small, but it makes these perfect for a bedroom nightstand. The sleep statistics, while I'm not sure how accurate they are, is neat to look at in the morning. I'd recommend grabbing one of these if you've been considering it.

Great addition to my beginning smart house. I'm using mine on my nightstand as an alarm clock and more. Sensors are helping with sleep tracking. Great to control the thermostat and lights. Good sound to play music too.

Like the title says, this is a solid smart home hub that seems to be regularly on sale around the $70 mark. The screen is vibrant and responsive to touch. The microphone does a good job picking up a voice from across the room, but sometimes it's a bit lacking in correctly understanding you. I bought this mostly as a white noise machine (via YouTube Music Premium), and it has served me well in that regard. I will say though that the sleep sensing feature isn't all that helpful IMO. Sure, it was very eye-opening to see a graph of just how much I snore through the night, but there's definitely discrepancies with when it detects awake vs. sleep. It's a neat gimmick, but not a feature I'd pay to use (which is apparently going behind a pay wall in 2024).

Very easy to setup. Bright and perfect size screen. Love all the futures and functions. Perfect for my night stand

The Google home pod exceeds my expectations. It has a large screen, which clearly displays the time and shows everything you google. It is easy to setup and use. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Got for my dad at Christmas. Trying to keep him up the technology. He doesnt seem to have any issues, easy to use and the display is nice.

Love this. It’s easy to set up and use. I listen to audio books, music, watch YouTube and use it as a daily alarm. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

Great little smart hub. Use it as my alarm clock (a bit overkill). Above average speakers and can connect to the other smart things in your house so you can everything from your bed.

We bought it when someone tried to walk into our home. Best purchase for our peace of mind. Easy to use with doorbell camera.

Love this so much. Easy set up and I have the larger one in my kitchen and these small ones in the bedrooms…..Weather, info, music, alarm ….works great with smart plugs and other things….

Does not have a camera, which is great since it is placed in my bedroom. Does not take up a lot of space. Was able to pair it to my pixel phone. Use it to listen to audiobooks when paired to my phone.

Our nest hub is great for looking up recipes and even throwing on a show for background while cooking or doing dishes. One trick is that it acts like a laptop with free Spotify, so you can request Spotify to play songs or albums even on the free version. You can’t do that on the other google speakers. Volume is a bit better than the nest mini speakers IMO. Small screen doesn’t feel small, but you won’t exactly be watching a show from the other end of the room. Only downside is they tend to be a bit more finicky than the nest speakers.

Great tool to have to control your house. I often have visitors and using this as a hub prevents them from having to speak to Google to turn things on and off. The pairing process was easy to set up and I really enjoy the pictures that play when the screen is idle. Last but not least, the motion sensor is pretty cool. I like that screen "wakes up" when I'm near it.

This product is truly very useful and brings many benefits I appreciate its sophisticated and easy-to-use design. The quality of this product exceeds my expectations. I will definitely recommend it to my friends and family. I am very satisfied with this choice

Absolutely love my nest, I have mine in the living room, so when I come home or leave for work the nest turns my lights on/off, it plays my playlist for me I am very happy with the nest and I am going to buy the nest speakers next. Highly recommend

The device, once fully set up, works very well. The rub is actually getting it set up properly. The 'help' messages are not particularly helpful for those new to this type of device. For 3 years we have had Nest security cameras on the exterior of the house and they work great but they were setup by an experienced consultant. We did this ourselves and it was a headache to set up.

The Nest Hub 7” Smart Display with Google Assistant (2nd Gen) is a versatile addition to my smart home. Its vibrant 7-inch display provides clear visuals, and the integration with Google Assistant adds a helpful touch. The ambient EQ technology adapts the display to the room's lighting, enhancing the visual experience. The sound quality is surprisingly robust for its size, making it suitable for both casual listening and video calls. While it excels in many aspects, I withhold one star as I wish it had more third-party app support to maximize its potential.

Purchased this hub unit to allow our Google Nest Floodlight to work it so when there's activity in the driveway, we can see it on the hub's screen. I haven't gotten that piece fully working yet, but have integrated the hub to all of the other home automation light and power switches. The screen size is a bit on the smaller size, but it's workable. The sound quality is decent and you have a equalizer function to tune the bass and treble to get the music to be a bit more richer if needed. You can also hook this up to DUO so you can make and receive calls to the unit and use it as a speaker phone for the house. For the money I paid, it's not bad. I just have to get the Nest camera paired to it so we can see the driveway activity. I may need to call Google support to get this done if I can't figure it out soon.

Does what it is intended to do. I've used it for smart lights and music...and the kids play some interactive games and it's a fun little addition to the home.
