Nest Thermostat E

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.

The Nest E is a great smart thermostat that’s comfortably among the most stylish and easy to use on the market, but as it stands in the UK, there’s not much reason to opt for the E over the existing 3rd gen Nest, which has some extra functionality for a similar price – excluding the potential cost of a professional installation. It’s a different story in the US though – a bigger price gap makes the E an easy recommendation if you’re in the States.

The Nest Thermostat E is an attractive and relatively affordable smart thermostat, and it's also one of the easiest to use.

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 good as the 3rd Gen Nest Thermostat and it isn't compatible with some some HVAC systems, but the price is right for newcomers to smart homes.

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.
