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.

Nest Hub
Love the sleep feature, but I doubt I'll pay for it when it becomes a premium pay feature. I already have a fitbit. I sometimes accidentally pause it when making my bed when it mistakes blanket movements for gestures. I also already have two older smart displays. This one does seem slightly faster. Overall, I highly recommend this smart display.

Nice but could be nicER!
On the positive side, love the sound, screen quality.On the improvement opportunity side, seems is too heavy (maybe by design, not easy to move around), limited apps available.

Awesome addition
Awesome addition! Love the size and how intuitive it is. I would just like the noise maker option to be consistent. Sometimes it pulls from YouTube which rotates several different noises through the night.

Good
Compare to my Google home (speaker), the nest hub is a lot faster on executing the command. By turning on the same smart light, the nest hub is a second or two faster in average.

Still early use
Even though my smart home is still small with a hub and 3 lights and a thermostat with our TV linked to it as well, we use it limitedly but slowly we are finding the many uses for the hub

Hi Ghuck71, we appreciate your feedback about the Nest Hub (2nd gen) and we’re glad to hear that it works. We understand the convenience of having a built-in camera on your Nest display. The Nest Hub (2nd gen) is the updated version of the Nest Hub. And like its previous version, it has no Nest Cam built-in, though we added some features.
We always listen to what our customers like you share with us to better understand your preferences and needs. So we released the Nest Hub Max with a built-in camera which will help your busy family stay in touch and on track. Leave video messages and make video calls. Check in on home when you’re away with the built-in Nest Cam. Share reminders and to-dos. Everyone views their own calendar, commute, and more with just a glance. And enjoy Google Photos, YouTube TV, videos, and music on the 10-inch HD screen with stereo speakers. See this link for more details: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9334359
Please let us know if there’s anything we can help you with by visiting us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Helpful for Organizing
Excellent sleek designed hub. The base serves as the speaker and has just enough weight to minimize drops and knock overs. I enjoy having this in the kitchen to listen to tunes or watch a video while cooking. I recommend this to anyone thinking of migrating to smart home devices.

Great device
The sleep tracking is lovely, works pretty well even with pillows all over the place. Motion gestures for pausing music and snoozing alarms as ok. I wish there were more gestures such as "next song"Cons: Plays videos when I ask it for music from youtube music wish it didn't do that its distracting while working. I cant seem to get it to cast music to a speaker group. Wi...

Camera
It would be cool if you could shut off the camera while leaving the mic on, the sound quality seems better than the nest audio.

This helps when I can’t get to turn on my Central Air and Heat, help my son fall asleep and wake up as well. Helps our family so very much that I would gift this to family.

Almost good
So close to being good. A few things, display is laggy, makes it feel cheap. Need an option for display to turn off after inquiry or not turn on at all. Recipe ingredients don’t display properly in full. Just needs a smoother interface, and more preference settings. Maybe need a same sized, more premium version if these things can’t be done for the price.

Response from Staples :
Hi Nodramallama, we appreciate your feedback and recommendations with Nest Hub (2nd Gen). We’re sorry to hear that you’re experiencing a slow or laggy display, and it doesn’t meet your needs.
We could be looking at a possible connectivity issue that affects the overall performance of your Nest Hub including a laggy display, and it’s important to make sure that this is not caused by a spotty or weak Wi-Fi signal. We suggest checking your Wi-Fi network for a strong and reliable connection. If you have too many devices connected on the same bandwidth or if your network package is not enough to handle the data traffic on the network, removing other connected devices to your Wi-Fi may relieve network congestion. You can also try doing a factory reset to boost its performance. For more information on how to reset your Nest Hub, just follow the steps on this guide: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7073477
If you need further assistance, you can always contact our support team. We’d be happy to help and improve your experience here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
