| My girlfriend is a landlady. She had issues with these two particular tenants who seemed to have an obsession with fighting over the temperature dial. It cost her a whole ton in either heating or A/C every month, and would leave the whole place either ridiculously freezing or way too hot all the time. (She lives in the basement herself, so this affected her as well.) She bought a Nest, put a password on it, left it there, and has likely already saved around what the Nest cost within a year or so just from stopping these idiots and future potential idiots from constantly messing with the thing. She’s never had an issue with it. Essentially - it really depends on what you want a product for, and how you intend to use it. I’m aware there are other, cheaper; less convenient solutions such as a lockbox, but honestly the Nest has been a wonderful solution for her. |
