I love it. I have two, one for my kitchen, where it helps me with recipes when cooking and I play music while doing so. I have a second one in my bedroom. I love the clock, knowing the weather, lots of things. I don't mind cleaning now because I do it while listening to music. Great buy!!!
GOOGLE HAS INTEGRATED THE NEST HUB INTO MY HOME SEAMLESSLY , WITH ALL THE HELPFUL FEATURES , YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. I AM OFTEN PLEASANTLY SURPRISED AT THE DETAIL OF EACH NEW UPGRADE AND THE CONCEPT OF EACH NEW TOOL. THE GOOGLE NEST HUB HAS BECOME A THOUGHTFUL SKILLED COMPANION.
If you already have Google or nest devices in your home, the nest hub is a great compliment. Especially if you already use the Google assistant, everything is almost seamless. When you move the device from one room to another you have to hard reset it and set it up all over again as if it's new.
I really like being able to see stuff on the screen. Especially when someone arrives and I can tell it to show me my front door camera.The biggest downside for me is that you couldn't view just any recipe on the screen. It's a big drawback for me because i was really looking forward to this instead of unlocking my handheld devices to view everything as I go.
The Nest Hub is a great picture frame style device for small spaces like bedrooms or studies. Audio quality is ok, Hub Max is great, and if you are looking primarily for a speaker would suggest the Max or the Next Audio. Otherwise this is a nice expansion piece for my nightstand without having the camera of the Max.
I love the hub, but for some reason it does not respect the fact that I have YouTube Premium and still play ads when playing music on YouTube music... Other than that it's great having a display that can provide visual feedback v. the standard google home.
I really wanted to like the Google Nest Hub. When I first set it up, it worked perfectly. It controlled my lights, my switches and my thermostat by voice. About two weeks later, after a power failure, Google Nest Hub would no longer link with my thermostat, switches or lights even though they continued to work perfectly within their individual apps. I spoke to both manufacturers who indicated that it must be a problem with the Google Nest Hub since their devices and apps worked perfectly. A call to Google support resulted that they could not help me with 3rd party products even getting a 3rd party app to link. So I am stuck between a rock and a hard place and am disappointed that I can no longer control my devices with the Google Nest Hub. Other than that, the Google Nest Hub works well with displaying photos, playing music, getting information and similar task.
On Nest Hub, YouTube TV does not buffer well and stream. I have done reset including factory reset. In spite of that most of the time in the evenings the Hub does not play YouTube TV. I have to unplug the Hub and reset and then it plays. My internet signal is very good. It was playing few months back without any problem. This is true with another Hub in another room. Needs fixing.
Google should improve on this device to get my 5 stars. Functionality is limited. Hub has improved connection to other electronics such as television etc but lots remain to be done. The screen is laggy. Connection requires improvement, although I have the top most tear of Comcast/Xfinity wifi that is available for residential use. It seems that a lot of features can be added, which I hope over the years will improve if not months.
I really only use it for my lights, timers, and shopping list and it can't even do any of those painlessly. It's constantly mishearing me or telling me that it doesn't recognize my voice. Very annoying, I am considering just switching to something else
