    I love this thing I bought this as gift for my mother originally. She saw a commercial on TV that connected your ring camera to view who is at your door. Well as I connected it, I learned that this can connect your smart lights, play music and notify you on your packages from Amazon and a ton of other things in which this device will give advice on what it can do. I bought the bigger one due to the larger screen and I am happy with it.

    This thing is awesome. It was easy to set up and configure with my existing smarthome. Display is awesome and love that it plays Netflix and other streaming services. As a side note, not sure if it’s just me but cannot figure out how to select different videos on Netflix - so far I have to tell google what to play each time, so that’s a negative, but I didn’t but it for streaming). The one thing I’ve noticed is that now my existing google nest points go offline a lot since I’ve installed it, it not sure if that’s a related issue. Overall a great buy!

    Our entire home is connected with Google, and this was an upgrade to a V1 Google Home Hub in the kitchen. The upgrade was substantial! The speakers in this thing are awesome! They are right on par with the Nest Audio and it's amazing speaker. I created a group so all the speakers in the room fire at the same time when playing music and unlike before with the weak speaker of the older Google Home Hub, there is no imbalance anymore, just strong and loud sound. The Google Duo video calling is also amazing and the way the camera follows you around the room during calls is very neat. I am very happy with my purchase and I can't imagine having anything else in the kitchen that would be better!

    The Nest Hub is a sleek, smart display that seamlessly merges style with functionality. With a crisp 7-inch display, it excels as a central hub for smart home control. Google Assistant integration, ambient mode, and privacy features make it a standout addition to any connected home. While compact, it delivers big on performance, making it a must-have for those seeking a smart, stylish, and user-friendly home automation experience.

    Maxing the Hub

    So I was unsure if this would be worth the extra investment over the smaller Hub. After a months use this does have many advantages over the smaller system. The sound is vastly improved which is appreciated by my teenage kids and then the camera came in really handy when we went away on vacation and it doubled as a security cam. I have also used the max hub to use Duo with my family back in England and it work great!, it also tracks you to some extent when you walk around the room, helps make the conversation feel more natural as you can go about your business without being stuck to one spot. But ultimately the screen size and the ability to stream Netflix on the screen makes it a great replacement for the baby brother. I really like the system and have no regrets with the additional outlay to get it....

    I love our hub. The screen is perfect for reading recipes, viewing our nest cameras, and looking at photos. The sound is great for listening to music in the kitchen. Picks up our voice commands easily. It was super easy set up. Would highly recommend.

    Bought this product to replace an older speaker. It has a great sound with deep bass, very powerful speaker, it has face recognition, bigger screen and easy to use. Works great to pull recipes and play music while cooking.

    We first bought the NES Hub (smaller version with NO camera) for our grand parents. At first, they just wanted to be able to see our Google Photo that was shared with them. Then it came to realization that the screen size was a bit on the smaller size. So, we kept the old hub and bought them this...Wow, it gave them more freedom to connect with us! It uses Google DUO (much much better than HangOut). It's so easy to have video conferencing from our phone to their Hub MAX. Although it cost way more than a regular hub (more than a tablet), but can't beat the convenience for a non-tech savvy grand parents who are not afraid to use it! Love it!

    We bought the smaller nest hub the day before this Max came out because we didnt know the Max Hub was coming. We got those on sale for $99 instead of the $129 but just happend to be at Best Buy the next day and seen the Max and though wow its $229 I thought that was kind of pricey but purchased one anyway. The extra money was worth it if has a camera you can view in your home when away, it sets off with motion as well. The speaker is ten times better than the smaller unit and the screen is much bigger. Bottom line if you can afford it spend the extra money it's so worth it.

    The Truly Remarkable Nest Hub Max

    The Nest Hub Smart Displays are very well priced and the ability to integrate this device with other Nest Hubs and other WiFi ready devices is a snap. This display provides a beautifully clear picture and the Google Assistant is a joy to use. Link your lawn sprinkler system, smart bulbs, and security device features easily with the Nest Hub Max. Enjoy the fun of automating your home with Google products like the Next Hub Max. It is a user friendly way to get started with home automation, I highly recommend this device. It is amazing how low the cost is the level of performance and clarity offered with the device. We were so happy with this unit we placed multiple Nest Hubs in our home. Use this with a Nest Doorbell Camera and Nest Aware for terrific home monitoring features.

    The hub max is a beautiful display and is one of the standouts in the smart speaker category. The camera is a nice addition with the max but I question the cost difference between this and the regular hub. Make sure you will make use of the features before plopping down the extra cash.

    Even though Google has made the decision to discontinue the Nest Hub Max due to not wanting to be Competitive in the Smart Home arena. It is still one of the Best, Even the New Alexa can't compete with image or sound Quality. The $130 price difference makes a good argument though.

    I own 3 hubs already, I bought the max for another room and you can really see the difference, The big screen is awesome, I can control anything with ease from there, plus the nest camera is an added benefit I wasn’t expecting.

    This is such a thoughtful design, and the engineering is second to none. Works straight out of the box with no set up besides a log in to your Google account. Incredible sound and video; senses light levels and adjusts to ambiance; excellent for video calling via Duo (others to come soon); cleverly recognizes different people and gives them their relevant requested information; the camera tracks your movements so that when on a video call, you can move around the room. It's like broadcast quality camera tracking. Altogether, a wonderful piece of technology that integrates to virtually any room and design, and has limitless functionality while being extremely easy to use, no matter what your technical ability. I highly recommend this beauty!

    Great screen and good sound. This display gives you the extra with google assistant built in. It really is smart. Great to see Youtube videos. I normally start them in my phone and then easily transfer them to the HUB Max, or I can ask the Google assistant to play it for me.

    The larger Nest Hub Max is a great improvement over the standard size display. The sound is noticeably better on this larger display and it includes a camera. It's also nice to have a larger display for viewing videos.

    I got this to pair with my other small hub. It's works well with it. I have a house full of Nest indoor and outdoor cameras and they automatically paired up. Ease of use, nice looking and sounds good, can't ask for anything more.
