    Needed a clock and a new Google home

    I was given the "new" cable box that has no clock on it and didn't have anything else with a clock in that room. This satisfied that need and so much more. Now I can see real time weather at a tap, pictures, videos, and control all of my smart lights too.

    We have many Google products, from cameras, to locks, to routers, etc. This was just another addition to our collection and allows us to control everything right from the screen. As an existing Amazon Echo user, this is a lot more compatible with our Google products whereas the Echo’s have limited features.

    I just decided to make my home tech and now i regret waiting so long. I love all the features it offers like telling me the weather every morning when I wake up to turning off lights downstairs when I don't want to get out of my bed to go turn them off.

    With all the things Google Hub can do, it’s been a great addition. Now, my Nest Doorbell, Nest Thermostat plus all my switches to lights in various rooms can all be controlled with this single device. Great investment.

    Purchased a google home hub to use as a bedside alarm clock radio. Love its ability to display my google photos, automatically switch to nighttime mode with clock, play music through a decent speaker, and provide news and weather updates when I wake up.

    I hope that Google keeps innovating. Really enjoying the Google Home concept. This “Hub” is no exception. Simple setup. Great visuals. I strongly recommend a subscription to Google Play Music w/ YouTube Red. Obviously you need a gmail.com account also...

    I have google minis all through my house but in the kitchen I decided to go with the hub that has a display so i can look up recopies and what not, watch YouTube videos while cooking, doing dishes and what-ever else may need to be done.

    Purchased Google Home Hub for my wife for Christmas, she loves to cook and thought it would be helpful for her. She at first didn't see the value over an i-Pad but as she used it and got to know it she does see some differences and is using it for receipes for listening to music and for searching odds and ends. It also plays pretty loud when listening to music.

    It is so easy to set up and use. We all use it to control the lights, play music, and to show us recipes. We can see who is at the door with our Ring doorbell. The slide show from Google photos is great too! These are just a few of the things it can do.

    We mostly have Echo Shows, but I thought I would try this. There are some features of this that I think are better than the Echo Show. It is also a great photo frame. I love seeing all of my pictures.

    Nice bed side decive, I mainly use for screen mirroring my phone, setting alarms (good sound), and playing soothing sounds for falling asleep. Decive has plenty of other features but these are my main three.

    I was honestly sceptical if I needed this but after purchasing I absolutely love it. The ability to add products that can be controlled by Google assistant is awesome! The screen is the perfect size for any kitchen.

    Works great, bought it for my mother so we could send her pictures of the kids through a Gmail account. It works out great and is simple to set up. With the Christmas sales going on, it was also a great value.

    I already had the google Home and a few Mini's around my house, so I bought this one for my kitchen. I love it in there, weather watching a video, pulling up a recipe, or just listening to music. I even bought one for my father, and best friend.

    I love this device! I bought it for my father-in-law. He loves using it in the kitchen. I would personally buy the max because of the bigger screen and speakers, but this one works fine in smaller rooms, desks, etc.

    Really, really like the Google Home Hub. If you are all-in with Google with Google and have tried the Assistant app, this is a must have device to keep around the house. I am still learning all you can do with Google Home, which begs the question: Which is more important? The app or the device? I had used the Google Assistant app on my mobile phone, and I have a Google capable wifi speaker. I thought the two together were a satisfying way to get ask for and get information but, to be honest, I don't always have (or want) my mobile phone on me...and a lot of time Google needs to provide a visual to best assist me. Consequently combining a very responsive, sleek and attractive-in-any-room-of-the-house 7" screen and ample speaker just makes sense. Most of the "pros" of this device come from what the software/assistant/home app can do. From a device standpoint, as mentioned previously, it looks good. The sound quality is OK and the volume gets loud for the size of the speaker. The "standby" mode (for me, I display a clock) automatically adjust to the lighting of the room--dimming at night so as not to glow an obnoxious blue. Even if you choose not to "Hey Google" a command, you can just touch the screen and get the weather, get your appointments, and see news catered to you. And if it creeps you out that Google is listening to you, there is a "microphone off" manual switch on the back. "Cons" are few but start with the proprietary power plug. Not sure why this isn't just a USB-C plug. Another con is the lack of a web cam. Not that the device needs it, but down the road I would love to be able to launch a Messenger or Duo or other video call--not just an audio call. A built-in battery so we can take it away from the wall on occasion would be nice but I suppose at the same time the only reason I would want it to be portable is if I want to use it for audio outside on the deck. After installing the device, which is insanely easy, I have linked in 3 rooms of speakers (all connected via Chromecast), our Sengled lights, our Honeywell smart thermostat, our Google Music ("Hey Google, play my cookout mix on the stereo") account, our YouTube Premium account, our Google Photos, our Insignia smart speaker, and our Roku. I anticipate adding a video doorbell to our Google Home Hub soon. One app I am currently disappointed the device doesn't support (and maybe it will soon) is YouTubeTV. If it could either launch YouTubeTV on the 7" screen or at worst, put it up on my television, I would be thrilled. [No built-in Netflix, Hulu, etc. either.] I feel confident Google will add support for more connected devices and integrated apps in the future as connected, smart devices grow in popularity. Finally, it is easy to use. If you can talk, you use the Google Home Hub. I am not sure if it has a keyboard. Actually I don't think it does, but you don't need it. The only frustrating part of operation is trying to remember all the commands you can use with it! We did have an issue with a loss of connection in the first week of ownership. Our device had switched to one of the initial setup screens, rather than a "wifi network not found" message, which was odd. After checking the wifi and rebooting the router, a quick unplug/replug of the Google Home Hub got it back online and communicating with my home without the need to reconfigure anything. Google nearly nailed it with this device. If you are thinking about diving into the world of "smart home" devices, or if you have a bunch of disconnected Google smart devices already in your home, this is a must have to pull it all together. And at a list price of $150, you cannot go wrong with the Google Home Hub.
