Nest Thermostat E Review | Trusted Reviews
Nest Thermostat E review: A simple way to upgrade your dumb heating and this model even comes with a pre-programmed schedule so you can plug-in and go.
Easy to install ; Diffused screen helps thermostat blend in ; Pre-programmed schedule
Assisted install in app can be finicky ; No hot water support
A smart-looking, simple-to-install device to control your heating, the Nest Thermostat E is an upgrade to anyone still relying on an old-fashioned wired thermostat.

Nest Thermostat E review
Cheaper than rivals, but just as smart. And it's available in more countries
Inexpensive vs Nest Learning Thermostat 3rd Gen ; Super smart ; Awesome app
Frosted display can be hard to read ; Not compatible with some HVAC systems
The Nest Thermostat E is the affordable smart thermostat that's primed if you have a budding smart home. You can control the temperature with your smartphone and tablet, or have it auto-adjust based on your proximity to home. Yes, the display isn't as...

Nest Thermostat E review: The smart self-install thermostat
The UK model of the Nest Thermostat E has more flexible placement and can be installed by yourself. Here is why it's a great option for smart heating.
Premium design ; Pre-set schedule will adapt to learn ; Simple self-install ; Easy to use
No hot water control ; No Amazon Alexa control
The Nest Thermostat E is a fantastic consideration if you're in the market for upgrading your heating system to a smart one. It won't control hot water like the more expensive, hard-wired Thermostat 3.0, but that's the trade-off for a more affordable...

Nest Thermostat E
The Nest Thermostat E is a no-brainer in the US, but it's a trickier sell in the UK thanks to a price that's much closer to the similar third generation Nest.

Nest Thermostat E review
E's are good, E's are good
Subtle design ; Flexible placement ; Easy install within reason
No hot water support ; No Alexa or HomeKit ; marginally cheaper than the Learning Thermostat
A supreme smart thermostat, but not necessarily the best Nest for you

Nest Thermostat E review
I've literally waited years for a more affordable Nest -- and it's finally here in the form of the $169 Thermostat E. At 80 bucks less than Nest's premium Learning Thermostat , the E excels in its simplicity.
Plastic hardware makes Nest's $169 Thermostat E more affordable, but it has most of the same smarts as the pricier Learning Thermostat.
The Thermostat E has a low-resolution screen, it doesn't support Nest's "Farsight" display and it isn't compatible with quite as many HVAC systems as the original. Nest thermostats still don't come with remote temperature sensors.
The Thermostat E is almost as smart as Nest's other model -- and all for 80 bucks less.

Nest Thermostat E Review
The Nest Thermostat E offers most of the same smart features as its more expensive siblings, but it can't control complex multi-stage HVAC systems.

A smart Nest thermostat for a lot less cash
Nest's Thermostat E looks and acts like the original -- for just $169.

Nest Thermostat E review: Plastic replaces stainless steel and glass to achieve a lower price tag
Nest's latest thermostat is a whole lot cheaper, but it's not boring.
The same smart and reliable performance as more expensive version ; Disappears into a white wall
It looks like the budget version of the Nest ; Doesn't display as much information as some comparably priced competitors ; Not compatible with more sophisticated HVAC systems

Nest Thermostat E Review: Now This Is Easy
The Nest Thermostat E is an attractive and relatively affordable smart thermostat, and it's also one of the easiest to use.
Simple installation ; Compatible with multiple HVAC systems ; Google Home, Alexa compatible ; Multiple efficiencies ; Alerts and reports
Doesn't work with Apple HomeKit ; Remote monitors lack occupancy sensor
($169), especially if you have rooms far from the thermostat that get overly hot or cold; Ecobee's remote sensors have more functionality than Nest's. Still, you can't go wrong with the Nest E; I've enjoyed just sitting back, relaxing and letting it do...
