The best Nest you can get

When money isn't an object and you just want the best smart thermostat around, the Nest Learning Thermostat (3rd Gen) is the one to get.

The affordable pick

Nest Thermostat E

$169 at B&H

A great choice for tighter budgets

The Nest Thermostat E's screen isn't quite as striking and it only lights up when you stand right in front of it, but other than those two things, it's pretty much the same gadget as the Learning Thermostat. It can be controlled via an app on your phone, connects beautifully with the Google Assistant, and at just $169, is a darn good buy.
