Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very easy to set up and operate. Ask "Hey Google" and it will tell you how to use it. Wife loves ability to do facetime calls without having phone in her hand while cooking. Camera acts as security feature while we are away. Able to adjust my Google Nest thermostat by simply saying "Hey Google change temperature to 73 Degrees".

The hands free, visual and informative options you get with the Nest Hub Max is absolutely amazing. At least for me it is because everything I ask of it from making a call, show me this or that to find my phone, again simply helpful and amazing all wrapped in one. I say try it and I'm sure it'll make a lovely picture slide show screen if nothing else!!

Comes with a wireless camera to keep eye on any area in your house that you put in. Speaker is loud and good quality. Screen big enough to view whatever you want to see on there. Great price and value.

Very high quality large display with excellent sound. Already have a 7" google hub and wanted the larger display. Looks great in the living room. Very easy to set up and use.

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!!!

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

I purchased this to use in our Living Room for music and just general info. I've had it in my cart just waiting for it to go on sale so it was an even better value. We've been using the Google Home and it sounds good but this sounds sooooooooo much better! I love the screen because it displays info about what song is playing and any information it has on what you're asking. I never thought just having a picture of something would make such a difference. I also love how it will show the status of all my Google Home devices. Great purchase!!!

I purchased this device because the screen is larger and you can actually make and receive Google Duo video calls on it, In addition to viewing the Nest doorbell video, this device has a bunch of features. It has facial recognition so it says good morning and good afternoon to you if it views you. It can be used as a video camera in your home if you need to monitor your home. It is a pretty nice device with lots of features. The Next hub allows you to access your Google home devices on the screen in addition to being able to stream things like NPR, Bloomberg, iHeart radio. I think it also allows you to watch Netflix on the screen. Cannot say enough good things about this device. I love the timer feature. It allows you to start multiple timers where are great when you are cooking.

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.

The hub has been extremely helpful in allowing me to multitask in the kitchen. I have 6 month twin boys that keep my hands full. I use the hub to bring up recipes, turn on/off/dim lights, video phone calls w/ out of state relatives that want to see the kids (quality is awesome and the camera follows you around the room) and of course voice activate spotify on it. Also if I'm in the middle of cooking I can play sesame street for the little guys so I can hopefully get through a recipe. I can do it all with my hands full using my voice. I also recommend using it to remember b-days & appts. The AI is not perfect there some minor quirks but nothing that takes away from the experience. Enjoy!

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.

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!

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

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

Has some connectivity issues or else it would be 5 stars. Ive got a lot of smart bulbs and other smart equipment so this has been a lifesaver. Much better than the smaller versions.

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.

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

Google Hub Max is a must for our kitchen from simple timers to help with complex questions the Max with it vibrant easy to read screen has been a great addition to our home.

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.

Nice display screen, volume is decent. I use it for watching shows while laying down if the t.v. is being used. My kids ask questions on all the time.
