Why you should buy the Google Nest Learning Thermostat

If you’ve put off getting a smart home thermostat over fears they’re too complicated, or waffled between buying the Google Nest Thermostat and the Google Nest Learning Thermostat, today’s go day. The best smart thermostats are simple to install and even easier to use, and the Google Nest Learning Thermostat is both these things.

There’s no need to worry about how to install this smart thermostat, as one of the best things about the Google Nest Smart Learning Thermostat is that it’s easy to install by yourself, with the guidance of the Google Home app — no electrician required. It works with most heating systems including 24-volt forced air, heat pump with aux, dual fuel, and radiant systems, and once it’s installed, it pretty much takes care of itself.

The 3rd-Gen Google Nest Smart Learning Thermostat learns how you use your home over time. Just install it, set the temperature you prefer, and within a week it will start adjusting your home’s temperature to suit your habits, preferences, and the time of day. It’s that simple. The latest generation includes Farsight sensors, which detect when you enter a room or walk past it up to 16 feet away, and you can have up to 10 additional sensors in other rooms of your home. You can also keep an eye on the temperature from farther away thanks to the 3.25-inch screen.

This smart thermostat can’t read your mind, but it can do pretty much everything else relating to keeping your home cozy. It can adjust the temperature half an hour before you get home from work, so you’ll never return to a cold, unwelcoming house, and it can provide peace of mind by monitoring your equipment. It’ll tell you if something isn’t working as it should be, send you service reminders, and even alert you if your home is dangerously hot or cold.

Saving energy with a smart thermostat is a breeze. Away mode switches to an energy-efficient temperature when you’re not home, and you can easily track your energy history and reports to see how much energy you’ve used over the past day, week, or month. The Google Nest Smart Learning Thermostat will even give you handy tips and suggestions for how to save energy.

All this technology comes bundled into a surprisingly sleek, good-looking design. The Nest Smart Learning Thermostat has no buttons, just capacitive touch controls on the edge of the thermostat. It comes in stainless steel, polished steel, or white to perfectly complement your decor.

Still can’t decide between this or the Google Nest Thermostat? This Nest Thermostat Prime Day deal offers excellent savings, and is worth every penny if you’re building a smart home.

If you weren't aware, the Best Buy 3-Day Sale is going on now. While the name is a considerably less flashy than Amazon's Prime Day, it does make immediate sense. There's a sale going on at Best Buy, and it lasts... for three days, ending Sunday. During this sale, you can find a number of classic Best Buy items — with everything from the best laptops to the best tablets — marked down in price. Here, we investigate the tablets that make up the 3-Day Sale and highlight the five we like the most, based on discount and quality of the product, while also showing a wide variety of tablets and price ranges.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ — $190, was $220

While the discount isn't too steep, there also isn't a lot of room to bring the Galaxy Tab A9+'s price down anyhow. This low-priced tablet is perfect for watching videos and browsing the net. It can also be cozy to curl up next to someone else and watching programming together on its surprisingly large 11-inch, 1920 x 1200p screen. As the Galaxy Tab A9+ only uses 4GB of RAM and has a mere 64GB of storage, you might think it wouldn't be too great at gaming, but with a 90Hz refresh rate, it can definitely take on some action-packed fun. Just install a few apps at a time and be a completionist about it.
