Google sued over defective Nest devices; here's what's going on
Google is in hot water after a class-action lawsuit was filed over its Home and Nest smart devices—including the Google Nest Hub, Google Nest Hub Max, Google Nest Mini, and Google Nest Audio.
Users say their gadgets keep glitching: ignoring voice commands, dropping Wi-Fi, or confusing who's talking.
The lawsuit claims Google hasn't fixed these issues despite repeated complaints.
Why people are frustrated
Since early 2025, more and more users have been venting about basic features not working—like asking simple questions or issuing voice commands, which often includes controlling smart home devices.
Google did acknowledge the problems back in July and promised a fix by fall, but nothing has really changed.
Now frustrated owners are hoping this legal action finally gets them some answers—and maybe compensation for all the hassle.
