Good Product............................!!!!!!!!!!

This was a convient purchase. Very handy in the kitchen/family area.

Google home hub is a great alarm clock because it can wake you up.

I have google home and this is a great complement to the product

Information, music, or just a reminder. It does it all.

Great device for the price adding them to my network.

This is just an average assistant... the construction wasn’t all there... there is an area that is not fully attached around the screen but I don’t want to deal with the return. We have multiple Alexa devices, and it’s just okay... nothing special.

If you get it on sale and have nest products it’s a must have

Good stuff. Would by again........................

It wasn't as customizable as I would've liked. Beautiful otherwise.

The Google Home Hub is the company's answer to the latest smart home trend which is to combine a screen with the now common voice assistant. If you're a fan of any of the Google Home products such as the Mini you'll likely want to add one of these to your home as well. Not only can you talk to the device using the familiar "Hey Google" keywords but now you can visually see information as well as respond to it with touch. I already had a Google Home enabled speaker in my living room so I was already familiar with the convenience that an always-at-the-ready voice assistant provides. Adding the screen, however, adds an entire new level of interactivity to it. Ask Google about the weather and I will now see the forecast for the next couple of days. I see the artist and title of the music that I'm playing on Google Play Music. I can also use the touchscreen to quickly switch to the next song or pause. YouTube may actually prove to be the one of the most used features of this device. Set the device in your kitchen, or garage, or any other place where you tend to have your hands full and you can ask it things like "show me how long to cook rice?" and a relevant YouTube video will pop up. It's basically a 7" tablet attached to a speaker that also serves as its stand. It has to be plugged into the wall, therefore it is not portable.The screen itself is beautiful, the whole device is actually really well designed. When not in use, the device acts like a digital photo frame, showing you your photos from Google Photos, art, or landscapes. The photos look great too, a passerby would think your hub is a photo in a frame. The speaker will not blow you away, it is just enough. One neat trick I found is that you can actually tell the Home Hub to play music on another (Google enabled) speaker in the house. Even though you might think you see one in the photo, there is no camera on this device. That is the ambient light sensor. I applaud Google's choice not to put a camera onto this device because personally that makes me feel a little safer about using it. The only use case I can even think of to include a camera is for video calls, which I think would be awesome on this device, but is certainly not a must have and not worth the privacy risk. Of course, being the "hub" of your smart home, the Home Hub does more than just play YouTube videos. It can control a lot of the devices within your home such as lights, thermostats, tvs, etc. You set this up with the Home app on your smart phone. As far as I know you cannot do it from the Home Hub itself. Once you have added the smart device to your Home app, it can be added to a "routine", which will attach multiple events to one command, such as adjusting your thermostat, locking your doors, and turning off your lights when you say "Bedtime". I tested with Phillips Hue smart lights, however I've previously had them linked to my Google Account and had been using them with my other Google-enabled smart speaker. So I expected no problems there. I also have Arlo security cameras and noticed they are supported in the list of devices that Google can control. I was able to successfully link them but had no luck in getting my camera feed to actually show up on the Home Hub. So it can be hit or miss. If you have first-party devices such as Nest you should expect better results. Pros: Well designed Gorgeous 7" Display No Camera (Yes - this is a good thing!) Mute Switch Ambient Light Sensor Cons: Speaker is only a little better than a good laptop. Overall, the Google Home Hub makes for an excellent addition to anyone's kitchen, nightstand, etc.

Works very well for what I want it to do. Ypu sure does.

Been a great gift so far works really well hope it lasts

item works fine, has trouble understanding often. worst failure is the times it decides to turn screen display to full bright sometime between 2 and 5 AM, waking me up with the bright light in my eyes.
