Love my SD friends - not just for the money-saving deals, but also the comments and opinions.
I've had this setup for several years and I use the app as a useful tool.
I bought it for several reasons - I have a two-stage furnace and it accommodates that feature.
The placement of the thermostat wire in the house was not an optimal location for temperature control, so the remote can be placed for best control.
It's very simple to adjust - manually or via app.
The display is simple and attractive.
You can use as many of the various features, or just as a simple thermostat.
I could hardly imagine a simpler installation with the included instructions.

My spouse doesn't complain about it AT ALL. 😂
I bought one back in November. It works until it doesn't. There is a software glitch where the Nest becomes unable to find Wifi networks and connect to them. Restarting and resetting doesn't do anything.
There's also no auto fan setting.
It sucks IMO. Many HVAC Technicians (I have a friend who works in HVAC) told me that the Nest sucks and a pain for them to fix.
Don't forget to check with your local utility companies for rebates on such thermostat controllers. Might be enough to cover the cost to purchase something like this!

It may be simple, but it's not very good overall.
Any recommendation on a good one?
I've had this Nest thermostat at our current home for just over 5 years with no issues. Getting ready to move into a new home and seeing this deal is making we wonder if I should get it... why does the Nest make it a pain for HVAC techs to fix?

Go with ecobee. It's hands down a better product if you need to equalize the temperature in different rooms and are okay with not being in the Google nest product universe.

Thank you - I'm going to go check out Ecobee's line of products. I'm fine not being in the Google Nest universe, I just want something that works and is a good product. I've heard from multiple people that Nest causes issues with AC systems by sending small amount of voltage when it's not necessary, causing the contactors to "click", etc. I'll definitely check out Ecobee.
