Nest Protect Review: Our Smoke and CO Alarm Experience
Updated: 6 days ago
Quick verdict
★★★★☆ 4/5 — We installed wired Nest Protect alarms in two homes and appreciated their voice announcements, app features, and motion-activated Pathlight. This rating reflects our ownership experience. Google has discontinued Nest Protect, so availability and the remaining service life deserve special attention if you are considering one.
Best for: Households comparing smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, with attention to model age and remaining service life.

Before you buy
Check the manufacture date and the unit’s marked replacement date.
Second-generation units require replacement 10 years after manufacture.
Select the correct wired or battery model and follow installation and testing instructions.
