Customer Ratings & Reviews

We have had a Lenovo Smart Display with Google assistant in our kitchen for the last six years and have loved it for providing a central video-based screen for Google Home functions. We often used it to give us recipes by saying something like “ok Google give me a recipe for the best krab cakes ever”. The device would then pull up recipes from websites that gave us a pictorial recipe at our fingertips. Well now comes “SafeSearch” from Google, which basically highjacked our Lenovo hub and prevented it from displaying ANY website. No more fingertip recipes. If we try the request above, a screen pops up saying it cannot show website views. And there is no way to disable SafeSearch in the Home app, nor is Lenovo updating the firmware to make the hub a SafeSearch compatible device. So to get our beloved visual recipes back, it seemed like we needed to retire the Lenovo hub and replace it with a Google hub. At least a Google device would be SafeSearch compatible. We purchased a 7” Nest Hub and brought it home for a try. Works great and did everything that our Lenovo did, including opening up websites again, The two downsides however are 1. Websites take considerable time to show up and load as you scroll down the screen. 2. Scrolling down the screen is done by swiping your finger up on the screen, but more aften than not you end up engaging the quick task bar at the bottom of the screen instead. The device clearly has a minimal chipset / memory, which is not surprising given the low price. It is also too small for decent scrolling operation. Our old Levono was an 8” device which was probably the smallest size to scroll properly with. Bottomline - we will be taking this back to Bestbuy tomorrow and give the big brother Goigle hub a try to see if it performs any better.. It is a bit concerning that Google basically deactivated website viewing on a device heralding this ability when we bought it. Google should at the very least allow the SafeSearch feature to be disabled if desired.

One of the better purchases in making my home a smart home. This is a must-have. Listening to music, seeing your photos every time you pass by it, setting alarms. Really completes your smart home ecosystem.

Good simple easy to use smart display. I wish it had a camera.

Good quality and great for using to turn on and off things from other room

Love the look and the features, like photos and the "Hey google" feature to ask it anything

Works well, does not have camera….a good thing! Responds well and easy to use.

I bought this for my brother and he really enjoys it!

It is an excellent product, easy to install and very useful and helpful

It doesn't have the best sound quality but is good enough. However, It can be a cool digital photo frame and music speaker. Also, it is perfect if you have a smart home or making yours a smart one. The display will dim low enough or turn off if you wanted in your bedroom, and there's no camera, so that's a plus if you worry about privacy.

It's great for displaying photos, playing music, timer for cooking. It's everything all in one.

Works great as a smart bedside clock. Decent sound, great control over other google devices.

Major upgrade from a free mini I had received. Much better sound and features for my smart home. Considering I got this for $60 it was a no brainer.

Very easy to step up and use. Great to have. Watch tv. Set a alarm listen to 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.

Love Having The Nest Hub . Easy to use . Display crystal clear.

I got this for my mother on Mother’s Day and the set up for it was quick and easy. Instead of learning multiple voices you link your google account and it syncs with your account. And when setting reminders it knows who is setting what without having to do the whole “Alexa learn my voice” routine.

Easy to use. Does what it’s intended for. Size is good for keeping on a desk or counter l.

I use this to set my alarm to wake me up every morning. It provides news of the day to start off my morning as well. It can track your sleep as well. It's very reliable. Totally worth the money spent.

I now have 2 of these. I mostly use it as a rotating slideshow for my office and living room. But I love it has a lot of cool features and it is very small.

Nice little display that allows me to control lights and play music and videos.
