Google Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen) sees giant open-box price drop to $171 (Reg. $280 new)

$109 off/From $171

As we featured this morning, Best Buy has now launched a massive outlet sale event loaded with big-time deals on a little bit of just about everything and one of those things is the latest Google Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen). This one carries a regular price at $280 and is currently on sale for $239.98 shipped in brand-new condition from Amazon. However, as part of the now live Best Buy event, you’ll find “excellent” condition open-box units with a full warranty down at $170.99 shipped – this is among the best prices we have ever tracked from a reputable source. Details below. 

Best Buy’s open-box deals on the Google Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen) span all three colors at different prices, but all of them are quite notable here today:

• Polished Silver $171 (Reg. $280 new)
• Polished Obsidian $180 (Reg. $280 new)
• Polished Gold $182 (Reg. $280 new)

You’re looking at up to $109 in savings and the best we can find in this sort of condition from a proper source. These units “work and look like new” with all original parts, packaging, and accessories included “(or suitable replacement).” They also ship with a 2-year parts and labor warranty as well. 

For comparison’s sake, we are indeed still tracking select colorways down at $240 in brand-new condition straight from Amazon, as mentioned above and detailed right here. While this is a solid price considering they have only been on sale a handful of times or less since release last summer, having never dropped below $223 at Amazon in that time, this is clearly a whole lot more than the warranty-protected, “excellent” condition open-box units we are featuring here today.
