Customer Ratings & Reviews

This product has been great, but their recipe feature still needs a lot of work. Yes it will read the recipe to you which is great! But how you store your recipes are clunky, you can't easily get to them outside of the hub, and you can't categorize or search inside the google cookbook. So if you have hundreds of saved recipes you have to scroll through to find the one you want. Lastly, you can't save your own recipes. I tried Google Keep which will open the recipe, but it will not read you the recipe. I hope they work on making this feature better because in concept it is great, but poorly executed.

I love it !!! Great product have it in my kitchen good for recipes

Got this as a gift from my wife and I was excited to have it for two main uses. 1. Use with cameras I have installed from Wyze and Eufy to be able to watch a live stream from my kitchen and 2. To have it double as a digital photo frame to display our family pictures. Well, as it turns out, the cameras constantly cut out and often Wyze won’t even pull up at all. When they are up, the latency is 5, 10, 15, sometimes more than 20 or 30 seconds. I found that it really only works well with my Nest Hello doorbell (maybe other Nest cameras work good too?) As for the digital picture frame, google does not scale the photos to fit within the frame, so 90% of your pictures are zoomed in and cut off. They did fix it so portrait pictures will now scale and fit in the frame, but google has done nothing to address the pictures that are landscape (like if you select a background picture/wallpaper for your computer, you can choose to center, stretch, tile, fit, etc.; google doesn’t give you any of these choices and instead your pictures that are displayed are cut off on the edges and you cannot do anything to change it). Finally, my three year old son is able to ask it questions and pull up videos and pictures. Even though it has voice recognition, google does not have any options to filter who can use it. Simply put, I don’t want my three year old to be using google home assistant right now. This should be fixed immediately. So, 2 stars since it looks and sounds good and works well with Nest Hello. Otherwise, zero stars on functioning with other cameras, using as a digital photo frame, and being appropriate with young children. Also, zero stars on customer service as they do not try to correct deficiencies and only continue to recommend options and “fixes” that do not work.

Easy, at-home shopping makes my life much easier! Nice!

Very nice item. Shows and displays things you have inqired about. Connects easily to your phone.

The Google Nest Hub is simply amazing! Easy too use.

Great hub with good functionality. I am sure I am not using all of its capabilities, but the ones I need it has, and they work well.

Okay. Slap me on the wrist -- but also, please tell me what this device can actually do that an Android smart phone cannot do? Yeah, nice display. But it is, in this person's honest opinion, an extremely immature device. You have 3 choices: 1. Apple product 2. Google product 3. Amazon product I believe from the gossip that the Amazon product is the most mature and easy to use device, with, of course, Amazon's restricted usage (just like the Apple product). To use the "Goggle Nest Max", which is extremely overpriced for what its value, requires an Android phone. Okay. I have the phone. Please tell me what I can do with this Nest Max that I cannot do with my phone? This is an extremely limited device in all of its capabilities. It is clumsy in its understanding of what we are asking it can do (yeah -- it works most of the time). It can basically only play or repeat YouTube videos -- yeah I know there are other apps, too. But again, my phone can do the same and more, IMHO. Can anyone tell me what real value this product is verses a required Android phone? Thank you.

Love this. We can do so many things with it. What a great buy.

Awesome! Great for recipes and music. It's helpful to know the weather at all times. No complaints.

This is a Google hub love it works great integrated with my Google Smart Home

Love the Max - spend the extra money for this instead of the tiny one

Love my new google nest hub max. Order it online went to the store to pick it up didn't have to wait not even 15 minutes and it was in my hand and out the dor . Great service

This is great. We have it in our kitchen and is super helpful when using online recipes. You can have it just visually display the recipe, or read it out loud to you, step by step. Also great for managing our nest thermostat + having a fun slide show of pictures. Also great for using GoogleDuo

I use this device daily for music and timers. We also have security cameras connected to it.

Replaced a Samsung portable desktop (touchscreen) computer i used in the kitchen for recipes, music, tv, etc. The past 10 years. It was great, but being able to make calls, search the web, recipes, music, adjust the thermostat, etc. With voice command is invaluable!!! Plus, it's a great indoor security camera as well!

First one i had broke due to water spilling on it but it was good

Great quality display + easy setup with Google account.

We already had outdoor Nest cameras and a Nest thermostat, so when deciding which connected home system to purchase, we went with Google. Terrible mistake. We were gifted multiple Google Home Minis, and we waited anxiously for the release of the Hub Max which we purchased the day it was released. My boyfriend and I are both tech-savvy, and neither of us could get the Hub Max to work with our other devices. Now, after five or six nights spent trying to complete the setup, we've had to delete and recreate all our accounts, still nothing works together, and our previously problem-free Nest cameras and thermostat are offline and not working. The Hub Max will work alone, but then all the other devices yell "LOG IN TO CONNECT TO YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT" whenever we try to use the Hub Max. Biggest headache ever. Wish we could return it all. Nothing like spending $1000+ to have nothing work and to lose your security cameras and thermostat control all in the process. DO NOT BUY.

The hubs keep improving. Having the camera is nice in the right room
