ECOBEE 3:

I also think that NEST IS BETTER THAN ECOBEE 3, because it simply is more popular and is owned by Google which is a very credible and popular company.

I believe that Nest is a better product.
1) It has a great feature that monitors gps locations of all family members to know how far they are away from the property. It is smart enough to know to start preheating/precooling once one of family members get closer to the house.
2) Nest is easy to install and doesnt require an expensive electrician installation, saving you $100s. Many older homes dont have a common (c-wire) that is required for the ecobee installation. Nest is okay to install without the common wire, which is a definite saving.
3) nest often has deeper discounts than exobee, although both of them retail for the same price. Also both thermostats often have a rebate from the gas/electric provider. For example, until dec 31st you can get a $75 from nationalgrid.

Overall, both are great thermostats. It will save you money on your gas/electric bill (15-25%), it is cool, and will make you feel that you made a smart decision regardless which thermostat you get. Most people I know have no regrets. Nest though in my opinion has a slight lead due to the overall cost and extra functionality.

In my opinion, Nest is a better thermostat for many reasons.
Here are some-
1) more marketing.
2) easy-install.
3) in most cases, no lectrician required.
4) owned by Google, a very reputable company.
These are just some reasons.

I also think Nest is better, one of the main reasons for me is the easy install and it's owned by Google.

Nest is the way to go. The more you use it the smarter it gets. I love the feature where it figures out when you leave the house based on your phone gps location

At first I was annoyed with Nest as it was trying to learn. Now its in auto pilot and I love it.
