Good price for good new product
We already have Nest cameras so didn’t need the eye cameras, but the price for the hub was best around. I like other Wyze products and was comfortable dealing with the company.

Great little display
I have a Nest thermostat in my house but until I was given this as a gift that was about it. This is a great little display and is extremely useful. I have this one in my kitchen so if I want to watch a video on how to make a certain recipe all I have to do is ask the Google Assistant! Since getting this as a gift I have purchased an additional larger Nest Hub for my ...

The quality of the audio is just awesome. The info is correctly and awesomely displayed. Many features such as video play, music play and auto-dimming that make it even more useful.Also, the interface is really intuitive and you have a lot of information.The only issue I see is that when you play routines, the voice is awesome but the screen is not matching the voice if...

Not bad, but not good
I find this device frustrating because I can't seem to customize it enough to matter. It's great for the time, photo album, and weather. You can change some settings, but I can't change or simply remove the tiles. I can't even seem to replace Spotify in the quick apps bar. In short, you need to be happy with the out of box experience, because it's all you get.It sounds ...

Response from Staples :
Hi Dan B, thanks for sharing a review with us about the Nest Hub (2nd gen). We’re sorry to learn that it’s a frustrating experience for you because you can’t customize it enough.
You can remove some cards from your screen. To dismiss a card, press and hold. Please note that you'll be able to dismiss some cards, but not all of them. And if you dismiss cards for alarms, timers and local media playback sessions on your Nest display, you’ll end these activities. If you dismiss cards for remote playback sessions on other speakers or smart displays, you won’t end the playback session. When you’re ready, you can end the playback session on the remote device, or you can retrieve the media controls through the Media page. Or, on the Home Control page, tap the 'Speakers and TVs' card to control media that plays on any device in your home.
Your feedback means a lot to us and we’ll share it with the right team to work on improving our products and services. If you have other questions or concerns, or anything you wish to share, simply let us know at the following link and we’ll gladly help you: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Very useful
I have the Nest Hub on my nightstand and have found many uses for it. It has helped me become more efficient in my daily routine. The speaker doesn't sound half bad either. It's a great value for the money!

Pretty cool although sometimes a little sleepy
This is my first experience with a "smart speaker" type thing. I'm mostly using it as a photo frame and occasional music player. The sound quality is on par with a decent small Bluetooth speaker. You sort of have to learn what commands are understood, and which ones produce the smart speaker equivalent of crickets ("something went wrong..."). And the reaction time can ...

Not great
I don't love it. I wish it gave better search options in podcasts and you tube. Minimal menu and voice commands don't work well when searching for a specific youtube video. Not a big fan. Maybe the newer version is better.

Simple.
I got the Nest Hub, second generation, for a family member and she seems content with it. The main use for it, is in our kitchen, where she likes to listen and watch videos while in the kitchen. The experience with the Nest Hub 2nd Gen, is similar to using a Chromecast in a way. Great product, nicely designed.
