Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is actually my 3rd purchase of this product! I have one, I bought my ma one and my grammy one. Love how we can video chat even though we all live in different states. We play cards together, love being able to play music and watch YouTube videos when I’m learning how to cook as well lol. Love the whole Google home products.

I own a Google home and Google mini's. The Google Hub Max is on another level. I wanted something for my kitchen so I could watch TV (sports) but also use the other features of the Google assistant like setting a timer. This was a way for me to get my TV service (Youtube TV), TV and speaker all in one. I was originally going with a TV and a streaming device but then I would need a Google mini as well. I paid a little more for this but couldn't be happier. The picture quality is great, the max was better because of the bigger screen size. I'm not even using the full functionality yet. I'm looking forward to testing video calling soon.

Great tablet fast easy to use and it's great much easier to see

Setting: Office Goal: Smart speaker to make work phone calls and have my calendar readily available Phone: iPhone 13 Pro CALLS: This did not meet my expectations to be used as a smart speaker nor as a bluetooth speaker to make work phone calls. Using it as a bluetooth speaker was unreliable. Using it as a smart speaker by asking it to call certain people requires the use of Google Duo. I got it to work to the point where the call recipients would see my name (instead of a random Google number); however, Google Duo (as of Feb 2022) has a significant voice volume limitation - I could barely hear the person on the other end of the call. CALENDAR: A work calendar-only setting is susprisingly NOT available. The hope was that I could have a calendar-only view at all times and maybe go to a photo viewer as a screen saver if necessary but that was not possible. This device wants to be all of the things, all of the time- home hub, calendar, weather, news, YouTube, etc. Attempting to get it to do one thing only (e.g. Calendar) is almost impossible. Functionally, this is very much a home hub situation...as in, it's much better as a passive piece of equipment in the kitchen or living room to do smart home tasks, watch some videos, get Google Assistant to run tasks or searches. 4/5 STARS: Previously, I've used Siri, Alexa, & Google Assistant and I believe Google has the best smart hub assistant. However, all phone calls go over Wi-Fi by using the phone's contacts and essentially creating a virtual phone with your. name on it (have to manually add that feature to show your name on the recipient's phone). Google does this through Duo the same way Amazon Echo devices use Alexa. Google Duo is also, respectfully, absolute garbage... it could be so much better, but it isn't! Note that I am using an iPhone so there may be so incompatibilities there. The HomePod actually controls your iPhone directly, which is much more convenient but reliability of consistent performance just wasn't there with the HomePod (original & mini) either. Some of the features on the Nest Hub Max are fantastic for use as a home hub- having it pull up music, YouTube videos, controlling smart home devices (e.g. Hue lights)- I would definitely recommend it for those tasks, specifically.

I love this. Having all of my photos rotate ofy children on the large screen is wonderful. I love how loud the speaker portion is as it fills my house with music.

Great Buy! I love having my Nest Hub Max both for information, music, and security!

The large screen and speakers are amazing. The screen is easier to see from across the kitchen and the speakers really fill up a room. You can adjust the equalizer of the speaker from the Google Home app. Also, the addition of the camera (which you can physically switch off) makes calls via Duo (on Apple or Android) a lot of fun to use and very useful. I love FaceTime but holding the phone can be cumbersome if you are cooking or doing something else. The camera will follow you around on screen as you are in a call. Pretty cool in my book. You can cast videos and TV shows to the screen and watch YouTube, too. I love it all around.

Replaced the smaller hub with this, both work excellent, just wanted larger more functional device. Nice display, great sounding, easy to use unit.

Bought this when I went full time work from home and use it as my display for nest home controls, lights and cameras. Displays our photos from google photos from my phone, its a great live photo frame if you dont like it for anything else. I personally use it for everything google home display related. Viewing nest hello when someone rings the door bell, turning on and off lights, times, thermostat controls and even playing music. Display is great and very nice way to start my day when I sit down, get caught up on my calendar and just view what is going on. Pricey investment, but I would do it all over again in a heartbeat

Love the software, it’s not slow like Alexa. I love the screen size, the fact I can sync my arlo cameras to it and my Apple HomeKit for hue and my Apple HomePods. It’s amazing. Can watch YouTube on it. Ask Google to search anything and quick responses. It’s 100% amazing plus the speaker is extremely loud!!!

Better Sound, easy set-up, nice big screen, and convenient to use. Easily receives commands. Nice style. Recommend for all who need hands free with capability to video chat.

Love the size so much bigger than the one I had before.

The clarity and the many functions it posses is wonderful, its extremely useful in talking to the person on the monitor clearly.

Got this hub to use with my security cameras on the Google system. I found out that it does many things in addition that are useful and I never knew about. I can set an alarm, play music, monitor my cameras, ask questions, etc. Got 100.00 off on sale. I am very pleased with this device. Great job, Google!

I like all the nest displays. This 1 is a little better bc its bigger. Sound is better and I like camera on it. Wish the small ones had a camera as well

Loving it!!! Very satisfied with this item! Would highly recommend it. I even bought one for my daughter

recently purchased this nest and am thrilled! The build quality is excellent, exceeding my expectations for the price. It’s easy to use. this is the 2nd one ive bought. Shipping was fast, and it arrived in great condition. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking reliability."

Better than the first generation Google home hub! Bigger screen and better sound plus a camera so that I can Google Duo with the family when I'm traveling for work.

So.much better than other smart hubs. I tried another and only was so disapponted in the perfermance and support for other smart devices. Once I started using Google, it is clear they are much better is support for other devices.

Nice functionality. Works great with home automation. I linked it up to turn smart bulbs on and off. Has a bonus nest cam built in. We use the Duo to make video calls. Definitely a nice touch for added Convenience for day to day tasks. You can set reminders, watch YouTube, get personalized news, listen to music. The speakers are good quality, it will fill a medium to large room with good sound quality. If you’re concerned about privacy there is a switch on the back to disabled the camera. Overall it’s a pretty nice feature in the house, because it can do so many things in one device.
