Pros
I'm a Google wifi user and have 3 of the old units dotted around the house and recently had issues with lack of reception back garden as well as internet running slow (not to be mistaken to ISP and ISP hardware or DNS as using Cloudfare DNS)
Adding this unit wasn't straight forward as I had to reset the old Google wifi routers to factory before setting up new one as master.
Took 3 attempts only mainly down to my own fault of not following instructions and thinking i know how to do it.
Once Nest wif setup and using the new app for mobile, everything else fell in to place.
Old Google wifi routers powered on and Nest wifi picked up and joined to new home wifi SSID. Second, third all joined without any issues and once placed in desired rooms, all devices connected without fault.
Decided to use the original Google wifi master router as a spare for loft room and again, reset device and nest wifi picked up to join.
I'm glad to say that I now have 2 bar reception in my garage that's 20 meters back of garden where before, nothing.
internet downloads a breeze as I can monitor daily on speeds as well as mesh signal strengths.
Now at home, I'm completely wifi and no more home plugs since this unit has altogether removed the need for it.
If I had the monies, I would have replaced all old Google wifi with Nest model but seems to be working as required for now.
Cons
Google haven't fix any problems from the original router. You can't use this on the majority of UK broadband providers, because if you simply plug it in, you have what's called a double NAT issue. This means things like XBOX remote play, and SkyQ multiscreen on the app won't work. This biggest problem though, is that you can't split the wireless bands (2.4ghz and 5ghz). This means if you are in a bedroom quite far away, it will probably switch to the 2.4ghz band. Mine did this and I got speeds of 2mb lol. Going back to the sky router and selecting 5ghz saw 50mb speeds. In summary, this is rubbish! I was also told it doubled up as a google mini, but it doesn't.
