Customer Ratings & Reviews

I really like the Nest Hub Max. We already have a Google Home speaker, a couple of Minis, and a few Insignia-branded Google Home alarm clocks, so this was a natural addition. The kids like to watch videos on it or use it to tell the TV (AV Receiver is Google Home connected) to play cartoons. The best part is that, because I also have connected cameras, I can tell it to show me who's at the front door, what's going on in the basement, etc. Saves me from going to the door if it's just a solicitor or a squirrel.

If you're in the free Google ecosystem, the photo displays, video calling, etc. works great! Tracking and zooming in/out on the people talking in the room works smoothly and clearly for both video and audio. Music is not audiophile quality obviously, but it can get quite loud without distorting and carries robust midrange for the average joe. Retail price is still more than I think it's worth, but cost for what you get is everyone's personal opinion.

good product. big screen is nice. sound quality is better than smaller models goggle Nest. Still slightly overpriced for its capabilities

Display size is great! Easy set up. Great camera. Search function works great. Nice update to music allows favorites.

Just purchased mines a few hours ago and I'm glad I held off from buying the older version as this one is awesome, the only issue I have is that my ring cameras wont work on it but my Phillips hue works though.

Amazing picture quality and all the things we can do. We had the 7in but had to be with the Hub. Larger and easier to see from a distance. Great job Google.

It’s overall a good smart speaker, it’s got decent sound for its size and normally does what I want it to. There are times when it will glitch up due to software issues that make it leave the camera on at all times. It’s kind of a pain to get it fixed when that does happen. And if it does be sure to delete it out of your home app before resetting otherwise it will be locked to that account with no access to it and you’ll have to call google and deal with tech support.

Well, it's a Google home, with a screen for weather, time, and other limited uses. Nice big screen on it, would be nice to be able to use for so many other things. I have this in the living room where it fields the majority of my questions. Pairs with the nest cam doorbell nicely and I can stream the front door on it, however it exits the stream any time you ask a question. The kitchen is attached to my living room although I've never used the device once for recipes, I do use it frequently for timers. I don't use YouTube for tv or entertainment so that feature is wasted on me. I envisioned using it to stream the security cameras I already have, like I do on my phone with a generic ip camera app, nope, can't install any apps on it. It's NOT a tablet. I COULD replace all my cameras with nest cams, but I'd be replacing my $500 professional grade ptz cams with $200-300 versions of an HD webcam. No thanks. About half as functional as I thought it would be for me, but I'm keeping it in the event they actually do something cool with it. Overall the speaker sounds nice, and gets to a decent volume. I wouldn't say it rivals the big "B" name brand speaker, but it's ok, and better than the home mini.

Nice addition to any room, like being able to control things in my house. Took a little time to set up as it didn’t want to recognize my other devices at time but since then has controlled lights, tv, front door, and thermostat without any problems.

Bought this for my 80 year old mom mainly so she could see pics on it. My family created a Google photos share so we can all share photos to it. A few grandchildren scanned actual photos mom had from all the past years and uploaded them to the shared account also. Set up was super easy for ME-she wouldn't have been able to do it as she is not techy. I had been looking for a photo frame for her but was concerned they wouldn't work because she lives in an apartment without her own router. The bldg has guest internet. It was suggested to me to just spend the little extra to get the Google Nest. I'm SO glad I did because she is LOVING seeing all these old and new pics as well as loves that she can tell it to play music and make/receive Duo calls. She also likes that the screen darkens when room lights are off. I know she isn't going to get the most out of all its features but I have no doubt this was the best choice I could have made for her. I only gave this 4 stars for value based solely on the fact that getting things on sale or a deal is always great- who doesn't like to save a little money. But I wouldn't hesitate buying this again. I also really appreciate the gentleman at Best Buy that helped me. He thought it should work with just guest internet but also told me it wouldn't be as secure. I asked if it didn't work if I'd be able to return it and he assured me I could. I'm SO happy to say I didn't need to return it! And I just love that I was able to make mom so happy reliving all those memories.

We have a couple of these around the house. This is the only one with a camera built-in. The number of things that you can do, simply by talking to google is fantastic. Looking up recipes or doing unit conversions is easy, just ask google. The camera is a good feature for us, because we have work crews coming in and out right now, and we can monitor progress remotely.

Had an older version with the smaller screen purchased this one on Black Friday for a good deal. This has a larger screen plus awesome speakers to it. Plus since I have an Apple phone and can use the Google duo to video chat with people who have android phones.

I love this device and how it connects to other camera devices in and around our home. My favorite feature is the connection to the ringcam letting us know when someone is at our door.

If you have or are planing to get a nest hello, get this to go with it. As soon as someone pushes the door bell, the image pops up on the hub max almost instantly. Also, making duo calls is awesome with the max because the camera auto adjusts and makes sure you are framed in the center from anywhere in the room. The speaker on this thing is one of the best I've heard on a smart speaker too. Filled up the whole living room, dinning room, and kitchen.

Nest hub Max is a nice upgrade with the larger screen area and better sound. The built in camera is nice too as it recognizes you if you turn this feature on.

I am glad I waited for this smart display. I was going back and forth with wanting to get the Lenovo 10" and this one blows that one out of the water. The Google Nest Hub has a beautiful screen with unparalleled clarity. The NEst camera is an awesome added feature since my whole house already is a Nest and Google Home house. The facial recognition is amazing... it automatically recognizes you when you enter into the room and notifys you of your Calander events (which has already saved me twice!!!) and tells you your route to work and if there are any accidents or slowdowns on the way. Plus the sound out of the speaker is loud and clear! This is everything I wanted!!!

The sound quality is great. Screen size is large love it. Easy to use.

I have a full Google Assistant Smart Home Ecosystem. I love using the Google Nest Hub Max to help automate my home. It’s ability to work with multiple smart devices in my home make it so awesome. Great sound. Amazing features. Top of the line product!

I have 2 in our home. I purchased this for my 90 year old father in law, to allow him to keep his independance. This allows him to see his outside cameras, and make video phone calls to his adult children and grand children. Paired with a doorbell and cameras, they can check on him as he goes about his daily activities. He is amazed at how easy it is to use. He doesnt like his daughters hovering over him all the time, so they check in with these as often as they like.

I am enjoying my Nest Hub Max 10" display very much. We put it in the kitchen where we can watch a quick show or listen to music while we cook and eat dinner. It has great sound and is easy to operate and has a really nice clear display. We got it on a Black Friday sale so that was super nice. If you like music, tv and news all in one place, you'll love this little device. I couldn't be happier with it.
