I replaced my high-end Honeywell backlit thermostat with a Nest. I was frustrated that the Honeywell had all these features and programming ability, but after years of trying to figure out how to program it for our real lives, I gave up, and we just manually adjusted it... morning and then to night... We could just never find the right programming for our schedules.

When I first read about the Nest I realized right away that this was going to be different... I am VERY happy to say that this is the absolute best thermostat that I have ever used!!!

Within the first week it had learned our schedules, and was adjusting accordingly... We haven't touched the thermostat in weeks! It just works!

I can’t wait to see how Nest affects our heating bill... the money and energy saved will just be icing on the cake!!!

Thank You Nest!!!

Even if I wasn’t a total gadget geek, I would still have loved my new Nest! Besides that it looks way cool and lights up when my friends walk past I love the convenience. I always forgot to turn off/on my thermostat, and programming was useless since I work irregular shifts. With my new nest and my iPhone I can control it all long distance. Totally genius!! Oh, and I am far from an electrician, but I had the thing mounted and working in 10 minutes.

We've had the Nest installed for 3 months and we live in an all original (including windows) 1922 bungalow in Minnesota. We received a summary of our energy usage yesterday from the power company and in those three months we've gone from being one of the least efficient to the most efficient!

After looking further at the energy audit we went from the 42nd most efficient out of 100 comparable homes in our zip code to 11th! We've had the Nest for almost 3 months and it should pay for itself in energy savings during the next monthly billing cycle. Incredible. It would be smart for the government or the power companies to offer some kind of an incentive or rebate program so more people can get these. Thanks guys for making a product that far exceeded my expectations!

As a museum exhibit designer, I’m always searching for devices that create the best user experience and interface. As a design firm owner, I’m searching for products that further my passion for quality and elegance. As a small business owner, I’m searching for products that reduce costs and meet our commitment to the environment. Our Nest wraps up all three – beautifully.

All I can say is - WOW! I just installed my new Nest thermostat and was impressed from the moment it arrived from the logical packaging, easy to follow instructions and the almost too easy to believe set-up. It never fails, with most technological items like this, there is typically always an installation issue, not with Nest. Installation took 15 minutes and it immediately found my network, hooked right up and the set up was done. I am amazed at the technology packed into the Nest and all of the options that are built into it as well as the apps available for smartphones to manage your Nest. Thank you for coming out with an amazing device!

I’m a 40-ish male with an interest in technology so the Nest thermostat was a no brainier for me. Selling my wife wasn’t so easy, especially at $250 price tag. After installed, I can say we both love it. In fact, she spends more time than me training the unit since it has made programming actually fun and intuitive. When's the last time you could say that about a thermostat? You can even do it remotely from the Nest app.

Elegant, easy to install (comes with multi-install options/tools), setup a breeze and works as advertised. Can't say much on savings yet (<2m and mild winter), but can’t imagine it won’t save us money from the builder-grade beige boxes we had before that didn’t change unless you walked by and changed settings. The ‘Auto-Away’ feature of the Nest alone should help us.

I'd say if you have any concerns for aesthetics, programmability, remote monitoring/control and lowering heating/cooling costs.... Nest is a stand out even with ~$100 premium over comparable thermostats. After trying one out... we ordered another two to replace all units and maximize it's potential.
