Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have home hubs and home hub max's all over my house for controlling all the start home devices. This is a great addition and has a place in any home in addition to the regular hub. The sound quality is much better and the screen as well. The price is a bit high and if you do not have smart home items to control (lights, thermostat, camera, locks,...) them I'm not sure if it is worth the price but if you do then hands down a must buy.

Never had a smart display before and only ever owned one Google Home (original air freshener one). I bought this because I was interested in owning one and it came with a camera and was larger compared to the regular Nest Hub. So far I can say that I love it. The screen isn't distracting and I am completely fine with the Hub being placed in my room (Don't have a clock in my bedroom so the dim screen works perfectly as a clock and alarm when needed). Also I know most people wouldn't be comfortable with a camera in their living space but for myself atleast the advantages outweigh the mentioned. I can use the camera to check up on my dog and cat (who love to sleep in my room while me and my girlfriend are gone) and also I can duo call whenever my girlfriend is home and have a wonderful face call. Now the only reason I haven't given this a 5 is the price. At $230 this was my only downside. If this was $200 I would definitely give it a 5 because that seems more reasonable in my head. Nonetheless great screen, great sound, fun to have around.

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.

Easy to setup. Complete privacy for user/owner information. Device compatibility simple to configure and operate from the h I n Love the remote login capability for when I do not have to voice commands

I upgraded to this model since my family enjoys the 7" version - Great choice! With the Max, you get everything that the 7" version had, all will a bigger screen and camera. I must say it's much better watching news and video on this device compared to the previous version. The sound is also really good. We haven't used the camera much but it is a nice addition and it is also useful for facial recognition.

I purchased the max hub after having the smaller 7 inch unit. Its entertaining and fun. It was easy to set up since I already had the google home app. I also like that the camera can be covered when not needed or wanted. It has a pretty good sound for what it is (its speaker size). It's worth the sale price.

Great product. Google Nest Hub: Family Fun and Everyday Helper Our Google Nest Hub is a hit with the whole family! The kids love watching YouTube Kids. I use it to control our smart home, play music, and check the calendar, all hands-free. It's easy to use, has great parental controls, and the sound quality is surprisingly good. Highly recommend!

The hub max is a big improvement over the smaller Google home displays. The speaker sounds so much better and much more bass. The camera on the front is convenient if you want to see what's going on in your house while you're away. You can also easily turn off the cam and mic if desired, simply by sliding a switch. The price is a little high, but we use this device throughout the day every day.

I am a professional geek, and I have had an Amazon Echo for years, but the Google Nest Hub Max is currently the best option today in my opinion. Buying a Google Nest Hub is the only way to get access to the Google Assistant, which I think is much nicer than the Amazon Echo Alexa. The Hub Max is not perfect, but it is really a leap in the right direction. It ties in with my other Nest Thermostats and Nest Cameras so I can see everything in one place and the screen is big enough to watch video without straining. I won't waste time on how you can get the news, weather, sports, recipes and other videos right when you need them just by asking. You need a smart phone or tablet to set up the device with Google Home App, and you can't even adjust the audio bass and treble without the App. Why can't they add some tablet features or voice requests so I don't need to go find my phone or tablet just to adjust the sound? You also can't add a Nest Thermostat or Camera directly from the Hub, you must use a phone or tablet. The Hub will only process one thing at a time, so don't think you can watch two things at once. If you start looking at the news, then ask about the weather and then set a timer for cooking, you need to back out of each or ask it too resume one of the paused services. It does have a volume control on the back, and a camera and mic cutoff switch. I wish these were independent as I would like to make calls without the camera. I'm hoping in another ten years the technology will catch up with our expectations. This could be easily achieved today by just providing this as an App on a Google Chrome Book. We all would probably get more use out of a smart home laptop/tablet while still buying a Google device. I would also like it rechargeable with a wireless dock so that I can pick up the screen and take it with me around the house.

This is a great sound upgrade from the first generation Nest Hub. The sub-woofer on the back really adds great effect to the sound quality. Bigger screen as well as front camera for video calls. You have the option to turn off the camera on this or use as a security camera to see your house when your away. My house is invested in google smart tech and I am very pleased with what they have to offer.

When you think about it, this really is the beginning of the robotic revolution! It's the first smart device that can follow your voice and turn with a motorized display. Think Rosie from the Jetsons, only without the wheels. I imagine that will be here with the next Echo Show. Considering putting her on top of my Roomba just for laughs. The only problem is the cord. Oh well. So, setup was ridiculously easy. It was already configured to my account, and we have several Alexa devices in the home controlling lights, monitoring security cameras, and controlling our 2 thermostats. Plug it in and follow the prompts. It even found my WiFi automatically. Super easy. The screen is big and beautiful! It's bigger and about as bright as my 9" iPad. And the camera seems to have been upgraded too. It's 12MP and does surprisingly well in low light. I can say, "Alexa, show my the front door," and my Blink Outdoor camera pops right up! Looks awesome. Response is very quick too, probably due to the upgraded processor.

Love this thing. I've had the 2nd gen (smaller) hub for a few years now, and knew I wanted a larger version for our kitchen as we have the perfect island for it now. This tech - although I admit is not NECESSARY for every day life, definitely adds convenience to the kitchen. I cook all of our meals, so it's a great place to have my recipe's up instead of on my phone. I also play music and podcasts on it for the home and the speaker is excellent. If I had to nitpick, I wish it had the ability to run multiple tasks - for example, I wish I could run youtube in the corner as I have a recipe taking up most of the real estate. Sadly, it's one function at a time. But, I knew that coming into the purchase.

Had this for about a year before I connected it. Works well except I can’t get the sound very loud. Playing music it’s booming but ask it anything snd it’s not very loud. I also use it to randomly display my picture gallery.

User friendly smart device. Anyone can use it and can be used to connect different smart device as it acts as a hub. Can be used to control other smart devices like RGB LED lights, phones, tvs etc. Can be also be used for music as it has a good speaker. Overall great product! The reason I didnt give 5 stars because I feel like the price is a little high.

I bought this as a gift for my girlfriend and this thing is amazing. The screen is big, the sound is great, and it’s easy to use. People always use it to tell time instead of the clock on the wall. The camera quality is also great and I’m able to see the whole living room. Overall excellent addition to any home.

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

This was an upgrade from the nest hub because it was starting to act up. It’s a lot bigger, volume is much louder, and we like the camera to see what the cats are up to when we’re at work. Pricey, wish I woulda bought it Black Friday or something. But we do love it.

This has been woderfull! We ended up getting this rather than a "Frame" product and this was easy to set up and has just worked for showing our pictures. All our kids can just add pictures for us to see. Also, it can play music just by asking it. We can ask for a type of music or for a specific piece. It seems to always get it right even when we are not sure of how to pronounce the name etc. the picture and sound quality is fantastic. In addition it can display such things as internet recopies and it's large enough to read while cooking. I am planning to get a video doorbell and since this is a 'hub' I can see and control that from here. If I had the devices, it can lock doors and turn lights on and off or dim them at set times or by voice command. This is just the beginning, for instance, if you have a supported (many options) smart thermostat you can control your temperature again by schedule or by voice command. I love it now and expect to use it a lot more in the future.

Love this device. I have Google Pixel phone and works well with it. Allows you to shut off mike and camera when necessary. Responsive and synchs with other Google products. Music has great sound quality. Glad I bought the max with bigger screen.

We already have 2 Google hubs and we absolutely love them. We added this upgraded version to our kitchen. The screen is bigger(I can see it from the table) and it has many new features. It has a camera that doesn’t bother me. If it ever does it can be turned off. We find recipes and ask questions and play music. The one in my bedroom calls me by name and gives me reminders for the day. You also can set it up so you don’t have to say “Hey Google” every time. Our hubs add timers, news,events and jokes to the day. A very good addition to our home.
