    I have wanted one of these for quite a while now and once I purchased one and saw the versatility, I purchased more and now I have one in each room along with one of the Nest Hello doorbells and the system works very well

    Nice to have this display in our kitchen (it replaced a Google Home full sized speaker). I like how it shows our Google pictures; shows the music you're playing; weather, etc. I like how it dims automatically to just show the time at night. Kind of finicky with the Wi-Fi connection, which can be annoying at times.

    Some people said that the speaker is not good, however, I felt that it’s sufficient enough for our living room - open concept layout. Highly recommend this product! You can do so much things with it. We use it as a digital photo frame, video feed from the nest door cam, and listen to music-YouTube!

    Love it, Love it, Love it. I have a nest doorbell and it immediately opens to my front door when my doorbell rings. It also plays youtube videos, and my granddaughter enjoys it when it shows her pictures of animals when she's playing with it.

    We have an apple ecosystem for the majority of the home but when we purchased this I feel like we are using this more than any other device. There is so much you can do on it. The only thing I would like is the integration with our Ring.

    This is a very helpful device which will reduce a lot of typing just say Hey Google ____________. If u have smart home configurable devices its still very helpful. Speech recognition is very good and it answers almost all of the questions.

    Simple and sleek. Blends in well in any decor. I have a few scattered around the house so I can easily access my smart devices and get information from the internet without constantly picking up my phone

    Missing the camera

    I was looking for a Google assistant with more features. Without the camera it gives the best Google assistant spot to the Lenovo Digital Assistant. I had to return this back and bought the Lenovo. This is still good for someone who has privacy concerns which come with the camera.

    Awesome, easy to use, we primarily use it for music, I got it for my wife so she could listen to tunes in the kitchen. The kids can use it, works great. Also like that I can shut off the mic so it can't be too nosy about our lives.

    Good screen size but needs some work on the user interface. I guess I got spoiled by Alexa. I got this because I got a Nest thermostat but the setup and useability has been a lot harder then I thought. It could be user error but I had no problem setting up Alexa

    I recently started a PhD program and I have ADHD, it’s been a struggle. Having a couple of these around the house to help keep me on track and manage time has been extremely helpful. What would be nice is being able to see my ring on screen. I thought I read on the description it worked with ring, hopefully it will someday.

    I bought the Google Home Hub to replace a first generation Google Home, and I am loving this. My daughter uses it a lot for her baking, I use it to look at my cameras, and basically everything. I have no issues with it so far and loving it.

    Bought as a Christmas present for family. It has been very useful I hear and I would recommend for those who have a need for such an item. For most people, your phone probably does what this item will do for you.

    Love my Google home. We got rid of all Alexas and went to Google home because Alexa had so many issues and wasn’t as compatible with the smart home devices. Google’s user experience is so much better.

    It worked awesome, but didn't sync how I wanted to with my Ring camera system. I wasn't aware that it would not show video (my Alexa device would). Even though it didn't work for me since I already had certain things set up, I'd still recommend it! Just make sure your smart home will sync the way you want first!

    This is a nice gadget to have in the kitchen. The news updates are especially nice. I also like the quick check of the weather and calendar. The calendar does not work well with Apple Calendar but works well with Google.
