Customer Ratings & Reviews

Really like the larger screen display. Easy to set up and use. Something I use everyday.

The best value speaker + tablet device for under $200. Bought it for my parents, this adds up as a perfect gift for holidays. I’ve set it up at kitchen counter for my mother to use it as recipe reference, timer and multiple other things. It adds up as music player for her to be able to work with some jazz.

This is great Easy set up Tells me the answer to anything I ask it. Weather Music Doorbell

This is my second Nest Hub Max and I rely on it to get me through the workday. I use it to set reminders, set timers, and ask it questions. The screen is crisp and the sound is strong. The camera allows me to check the house when I'm away, which is a plus.

Great Colors and Excellent for Face time communications . I'm enjoying this Smart Display .

I absolutely love my Ggogle Nest! Ask them to play music ✔️ recipe idea ✔️ timer✔️ hey Google is a game changer.

Easy set up and hands free access to internet. Love using it while doing dishes or making meals

Bought for my mom so she can easily video chat throughout the house with family. She LOVES this device. It seamlessly integrates with Google Duo for voice and video calls. She keeps it in her kitchen and Loves to talk to her Grandkids while she cooks :-) Setup was a breeze and this device can even be used as an additional speaker when setting it for audio playback with all google devices in the home.

I switched to the Nest Max Hub from the smaller one and love that I did so. The picture is so much larger and engaging and the sound is far superior to the previous model. Purchased during Black Friday sale for an amazing price.

Awesome hub. Linked nest doorbell camera and Arlo cameras, plus iRobot Roomba, Nest thermostat, Dyson, fridge, dishwasher etc. Using YouTube premium, YouTube music, Spotify, Netflix. Oh, and your library of stores google photos appear as screensaver with weather info. Did I mention it is also an indoor camera with speaker and mic. Highly recommend this to anyone.

It's large and clear. Speaker is decent I very happy with purchase

Expensive but great! I just wish that the Ring doorbell would work with it as advertised. Ring items are not listed as items to choose from even though they advertised that they’re compatible. Regardless, I really like this and have begun to rely on it for the lastest news headlines when I get out of the shower and preparing to start the day. Weather forecasts, music, YouTube videos, etc. Quite robust.

Does what it advertises itself to do - the lack of five stars is for the lack of customization allowed in the Google/Nest interface. If you're looking for something that'll show you what you believe are four or five critical things to see about your house on a convenient dashboard (like, thermostat status, time, outside temp, a security camera) - this isn't a device for you. If you're interested in an ok speaker and a hard-to-use recipe display, then sure, this works?

Google Home Hub is my handy helper in the kitchen. Sets timers, listen to my favorite music, tells jokes, shows me recipes. Don’t know how i lived with our it. So wonderful i bought my daughter and son each one!

Rrally love the extra large display screen. Easy to use. So polite with replies

I love the big screen! I use this hub in my kitchen to see my cameras and to view my recipes.

Nice size screen, easy to get started. Love the features it has, well worth it.

I bought a standard Google Hub to use as a smart device and clock. I like to watch YouTube while I work in the kitchen and used my tablet but it was difficult to position so I could see it. When the Max Hub came out I bought it right away. Now I can watch videos in my kitchen, listen to music, ask a question, set a timer, pull up a recipe... I can have the home screen display a clock or pictures. I love my Max Hub!

Bigger screen, better graphics, better sound Highly recommended

I am pleased with the Nest Hub Max and getting more out of it than I expected. The sound quality falls a little short of what I'd call HiFi, but it's way better than a table radio (if you can remember those), and a lot better than some of the smaller smart speakers. The display is bright, clear, and colorful, and I love using it as a photo frame. I appreciate the physical video/mic mute slider switch, which gives some confidence of privacy when turned off. When turned on, the microphone is VERY sensitive--it will respond to your wishes from anywhere in a fairly large room. It may go without saying, but the buyer should consider which devices they want their smart speaker/display to be compatible with. This being a Google Product it enjoys the ability to share notes with Google Keep, display Google Photos, and play YouTube, and of course it meshes with the Nest product line. If you have Ring doorbell, on the other hand, you may want to look into Echo devices instead. There is one annoyance that Google really needs to take care of: the inability to assign a different wake-up phrase. If you have other Google-Assistant-enabled devices (like your smartphone) within earshot, they are going to respond to the same "Hey, Google." Another minor criticism I'd make is that the "skill" set here is not as extensive as with Amazon's Alexa line, although at the same time, the integration with other Google products is a distinct advantage. The integration with Google Keep is a newly enhanced feature that allows one to display Keep notes on this device, which provides a workaround for the fact that you can't otherwise enter your own recipes into the Hub Max. Now you can add a note to Keep containing your recipe, and voila, it's available on the Hub. It would be nice if the same integration could occur with Google Drive, but it's not there yet. Your Google Calendar is also integrated into this device, but the implementation is limited, as is also the case with Keep--both feature overly large type--preventing one from looking at a full day's schedule on the screen, which is large enough to do so.
