Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Waited a month for this..looks great on my nightstand... great speaker amd controls...

I love the Nest Hubs! I have 3 of them. 1 in the living room, 1 in the bedroom and 1 in the office. I pull up YouTube videos (e.g. Young Turks, The Humanist Reportm and when I move to a different room I use the Google Home app to "throw" the video to the Nest Hub in that room to continue watching. Or, I can "throw" the video from my Nest Hub to my Chromecast-enabled TV or vice versa. The Nest Hubs are also great for getting weather reports with hourly data. It's also surprising the range of questions they can answer. Yesterday I asked for the military background of a Watergate burglar and got the answer I was looking for. Amazing! I'm sure I haven't even tapped 1% of their potential. Best Buy is the place to buy, too. Great service, Great return policy.

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 purchased Nest Hub for bedroom use. It has nice sound for music to relax, and when light bulbs purchased, it controls lighting as well. This is my first smart home purchase and would suggest others start here as well.

I have Nest products all over the house and after purchasing the Next Hello doorbell I have the Google Hub to see who is at the door. We also have Amazon Echo devices which work well, but I would say the Google hub is a step above.

What a great way to have the power of Google at your beck and call whenever you have questions that need answering. From "who was that actor in that movie" to "what can I cook with these ingredients" it's great getting answers ASAP.

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.

OMG I just installed one and I'm moving away from my Echo system! Does things better and more consistently. Replacing my echo one piece at a time. So far everything I have is cross compatible. Oh, and actually there is no problem running both (so far)

I like having the added benefit of the visuals along with the Google Assistant. I' d read a review before purchasing that mentioned it likes to be close to your WiFi router, which I recently found to be true. I originally had it placed right next to my router and decided to swap places with my Echo Show (1st Gen) on my kitchen counter. I'd never really had a problem with the Echo Show losing internet connectivity on the kitchen counter which is only 15-20 feet from the router as opposed to sitting right next to it but after a couple of days and multiple lost connections, decided to swap them back to their original locations. Also, I got the Echo Show first and use it for my shopping list, perfect being in the kitchen adding items as you realize you're running out of something & also a kitchen timer. I'd tried using the Google Home hub for that & although it works great for a timer, in trying to navigate to the shopping list on the app, which I use while at the grocery store, it took way too long to get there in the Google app. The Google voice match has also been problematic for me as I have done the voice match multiple times and am still told it doesn't recognize my voice. Convenient for home control, as is Amazon Echo. Do love the integration with my Chromecast!

It is uses it for recipes, music in the kitchen, check the news, and get just about any information you can imagine all while doing her cooking, and entertaining etc. I made lots of points giving it as a B'day present!

This thing is great even as just a digital picture frame. But add the Google home functions, speaker for music, video screen to watch YouTube or Hulu on in the kitchen and much more. It's even better. Would not have paid full price for it to be honest as it doesn't fit our budget. But got it for 20 bucks when we purchase a nest thermostat. That's a steal!!!

Absolutely love the Home hub. I already owned the home mini and home max and was very Happy but this is really great. Have it in my kitchen and we find d that we use it daily. Google has done a great job incorporating Google assistant into a screen.

This little guy came free with a larger purchase and we liked it so much we bought an even bigger 10" display. Comes in handy daily. If you don't need a camera or have limited space this 7" display is perfect!

I have an echo and I just purchased the Google hub. IMO I like Google better because it seems the commands are followed much better than the echo...just saying

This little device is the assistant you never knew you needed. Does everything you tell them to do and talks back only to acknowledge you. If only people could be so accommodating :p easy to program and use.

I bought it because I wanted something different and set it up in my room when I come in I talk to it and it turns the light on and shuts them off. Still learning different commands but it helps me out every day I dont regret getting it love it!!

Great price for this! Google home is a step up. It is very similar to the alternative Alexa product by Amazon. It is just a different platform. Nice to have the screen. You will NOT go wrong if you buy it! Treat yourself and enjoy!

So I purchased this hub for a gift, but couldn't wait for them to try it, so I opened it and tried it on my own. I was thrilled with what it could do. I used it mainly for helping in the kitchen where my wife and I followed the recipes for cooking.

I love my new nest hub! I keep mine in my kitchen It is great to pull up recipes, watch interviews on YouTube while I’m in the kitchen or just play music! Definitely a great buy I highly recommend.
