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.

Disappointingly Laggy
I am very disappointed in the fact that the UI is very laggy, in fact more laggy than the original

Incompatible with ring doorbell
I bought this second one for my office to monitor my ring doorbell. Turns out since Google sells a doorbell it is virtually useless with the ring products. This is very disappointing to every consumer everywhere regardless of which products you use. 'Hey Google', if you want to control my smart home, control all the devices, not just the ones you sell.

Slow, but fine
The interface is frequently laggy and always slow. Sorta the opposite of snappy.However, the mic is fantastic and duo calls are stellar. I don't think it's worth full price, but it's great as a homework aid and timer and all of that regular assistant stuff.

Perfect but laggy
I would think after years of development, years of consumer use there would little to no input lag with these products. I love everything abouty nest hub but if I have to deal with lag every time ibswipe to get to my lights or active my sleep tracking it becomes an unpleasant experience.

Nest Hub 2nd Gen
The Nest hub is a beautifully designed second screen that serves as a good intermediary between a TV and a Phone. It's most useful when you have a few smart electronics that can be controlled by interfacing with it. Other than that it doesn't have much use.

Good but still needs work
the system is slow and lags, with limited apps and configuration the system does not do all i thought it would or hoped. Speaker sounds great, and the display looks great as well. product has potential to do more, love the idea but needs some work.

I thought it was going to be some cheap screen I didn't actually need and wouldn't use. I was completely wrong. I use this all the time. It works very well. No complaints.
