Customer Ratings & Reviews

This hub is perfect for video calls. I love the way it zooms in and out while using it. I also like the fact it's a hidden camera and I have the option to capture video or not. It has a great speaker for music and comes in handy when needing to look at a recipe while cooking.

Easy to use. Great camera and sound. I love to be able to manage my thermostat, and security system in a scheduled way.

It is totally enjoyed because of the vision screen

I have many google nest devices (i.e. Nest Home, Nest mini, etc) but gym nest hub max is the best! The 10 inch display and amazing speaker quality is pure. Only complaint I have is I wish it had more bass, however I’m sure the Google Home Max is where it’s at for the bass tones I want. I have recommended this product to all of my customers as I am an electrician and anyone looking to add cameras in and outside the house. This display does it all view all your cameras in one spot! 10/10

Was lucky to snag this during the Black Friday deal from Google (I would probably re-consider if I hadn't gotten it at the BFCM price to be honest) and I was shocked when it arrived how much bigger the display is. With the camera, it also proactively can tell you're in the room and will welcome you and personalize the display based on who it sees. I don't use it for calling, I just wanted a bigger display in the kitchen so it was easier to see from further away.

I have not had great luck with any Nest product but the Nest Hub Max is an excellent quality smart display that is easy to use. The screen is a perfect size for a place like a kitchen countertop. The screen looks great and the sound is very good. There is a lot of customization to suit your needs. The camera is excellent. I have had this for just over a year now and it has been working well. No problems! I just wish all Nest products were this good.

Excellent screen size and easy to set up. I can see it across the room.

The packaging of the display was well done. Plugging it installed what it needed. I was totally impressed with the screen. The setup shows you how to use the hub. The colors are vibrant. I like the fact you can watch youtube videos or chrome cast. I tested the Duo calls with it and it has a great field of view of the camera. It follows the person around which is nice unless you don't like that kind of thing. The audio is great. I have hue lights and it can tell me on the screen how many lights are on and what the temperature is in the house. You can either touch the lights and it will list the lights you can turn on or off. There is a room view which gives all your connected devices. I have hue lights and Samsung Smartthings and it works seamlessly. There are some things that aren't integrated yet. Specifically, the only way to start a routine is by using your voice to start the routine or using the screen. There is no way to start a routine such as a Smartthings multipurpose sensor to actually tell you a door is open. This is minor and I'm sure this will be incorporated soon. The display is a great display and the camera can be used for a security camera. I have nest cameras and you can watch the feeds of the camera's. I don't have the Google Nest Hello but I saw videos that when the doorbell rings it will show the person at the door on the screen. I would recomend this display to anyone.

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.

These are good hubs and a decent camera with the Nest app but if you value them as continuous video feeds, do NOT migrate to Google Home because despite the Nest branding you will lose the 24/7 video history. And it's not well documented. Once you migrate you lost the ability to revert - and worse - you can no longer review footage without events marked in the timeline (so basically anything that is not immediately in front of it).

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.

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.

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

This review is for the device, not Google assistant Looks clean, goes great w any home Sounds amazing for what you get. Loud, pure sound, step above average sound Open just about any google video, music app Even make video calls using google meet-duo Resolution is great for what you get Screen is a nice size, not to big or small

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

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.

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!!!

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.

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.
