Professional Reviews
4 reviews from 4 criticsThe Nest Learning Thermostat (4th-gen) delivers superior design, a larger screen, and effective learning capabilities, making it a top-tier smart thermostat. Its high price and lack of Thread support are notable drawbacks, but it remains a strong choice for those prioritizing premium features.
“Easy-to-follow setup. Gorgeous on the eyes, and has three pretty finishes.”
“It’s a premium thermostat with a premium price ($279.99), but you get a few more features for a little less money with our reigning Editors’ Choice winner, the $249.99 Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium.”
