Great out of the box features, some tradeoffs

Would Recommend

The Ecobee Smart Thermostat Essential is easy to install and get up and running, the app walks you through nearly everything. I did find that the Automatic Staging options mask many configuration settings (like the temp threshold) that I would like to have access to, but others may not require that. I did find the Alexa interface very limited - all you can do via voice command or routine is set a temporary temperature hold

Simple and effective

Would Recommend

This was extremely easy to install. We ran into a hiccup with the wiring from our old thermostat to this not matching up, and Ecobee’s customer service was our savior. They made it easy. This has lowered our monthly electric bill about 15% so far.

Good Product ..... BUT

Would Not Recommend

Not the easiest to install .. call to the help desk quickly took care of that. The main complaint I have is there is no operator's manual available. None came with the unit and none is available to download. Frequently referred to the operator's manual on my previous thermostat when I needed to make a change and could always find the answer .... now will have stop and make a call. When before I could usually find the answer in the manual. I will mention this issue to anyone who might ask me abou...

1 star because can't say 0

Would Not Recommend

DO NOT GET THIS!! You will regret it. At least twice a week it resets and goes into calibration mode, during which it turns off locks out access to your heat and cool.
