    Was using the chromecast ultra, which was buggy when casting. This still accepts casting from devices but is much easier to use with its on screen interface with the remote. Can also connect to your wireless headphones, priceless additions overall.

    Love this thing. I can turn on and off by tv since it's connected to my Google home. Has a ton of apps. I moved to this from a roku which I was happy with but may like this better. It's great that this comes with a remote but can also use a remote app from Google if I need to. It has tons of apps too and gives me the ability to cast my phone screen to the TV.

    This Android TV chromecast dongle works very well. The addition of the remote control was all that it used to lack. The process in the chromecast isn't amazing, but it gets the job done. Very handy for traveling.

    IMO better than Fire TV

    I have owned Fire TV 4k stick for a long time. The sound is always way off on Fire TV. I have tried all sorts of options, but it never is in sync, not even close. If you fix it for one steaming, it messes up for another. I saw lot of good reviews and thought of trying Chromecast. Also I am an android user and have YouTube TV account, so it seemed like a natural fit. Overall I am so happy with Chromecast. The menu is simple and yet effective. The suggestions I get are very much aligned to my taste. The remote is super fast. I like the remote, although I would have liked it to be little bigger, little too small for a average user hand. All is not good with Chromecast yet, and may be future firmware release may fix some of the issues - Like for ex- even though I have updated my services I still get recommendations from services I have deselected. For ex, I do not have Disney+ and have deselected it, I still see recommendation for Disney+ movies. I guess google algorithm gives priority to your taste and recommends movies. Also sometime I see a movie listed as available on YouTube TV but when you click on it, it is available on some other streaming service. So there are some glitches that are annoying, however not enough to not own this product and recommend. It’s a keeper.

    I have had the Chromecast with Google TV for about 7 months and I am extremely happy with. It has my library, plenty of apps and choices for movies and television. It is very user friendly and it is a joy to get to watch so many shows on my Chromecast with Google TV. I highly recommend this product

    This is by far the best way to watch streaming services on a non smart tv. I had an old tv that was sitting around and i didnt ever think i would be able to use it and make it like a smart tv but by getting the new google chromecast it made it so much easier. It is so easy to set up and would reccomend it to anyone.

    Adding First Totally WIFI Television

    We are an older couple and just added our first totally WIFI supported television to our house. We needed the Chromecast to make sure that we got the channels provided by Spectrum and that we got the streaming services we subscribe to offering 4K. The Chromecast was one of the choices and it worked great. We also appreciate the Best Buy curbside pick up.

    I love this streamer. I've had everything out there, recently tried the Tivo device (3 times, all horrible) since I have Tivo throughout the house. I get HBO Max with my cell plan but it wouldn't run on Tivo. This device has every service I need and keeps it all in one place. It's a little slow to connect when switching over to it but overall I'm happy with it.

    [Employee of bestbuy] Works really well, I love the Google system and how easy it is, dont drop the controller though because the batteries and cover come off and go flying fairly easy

    The Chromecast w/ Google TV was plug and play out of the box. Attached it to my TV and connected it to my Android phone without any problems. Now I'm watching Disney+, Netflix, and YouTube in the comfort of my living room. It's a great device to access your favorite shows. It was a worthwhile purchase and I recommend this for others.

    This is by far my favorite hub for all my entertainment apps. It’s really snappy, integrates well into my google home ecosystem (which is extensive) and has a price you can’t argue with. Only issue at this point is the lack of a Apple TV app. I have a huge movie collection on iTunes and they way you access them currently is trash. Other than that, it’s awesome!

    I sold my Apple TV to move to this and I've been very happy with it. The interface is straight forward and the apps are smooth and work well. I use rabbit ears with the HDHomerun app, Hulu, Prime, Netflix, and a bunch of different cable apps like Discovery. Everything works very well. My ONLY gripe so far is that entering passwords via voice isn't possible.

    Nice product, smooth functions, and seamless set-up. Could even control auxiliary speakers connected to monitor! Price is a bit high compared to amazon fire stick 4K; otherwise great product. Couldn’t install 3rd party apps, so I am choosing amazon; but i loved the use of this product.

    One of the best streaming devices out there. Dead simple to use and supports 4K and HDR. The apps are all linked to your Google account so if you're an Android user this is a breeze. Honestly one of the best Google products to date. I like the added remote with this model. I don't always want to use my phone.

    I just purchased one a few days ago and now I'm going to get another because it does everything that my Amazon fire stick and my Roku does only better. For example, I purchased two Firesticks just so I could play all my digital movies and TV shows I have on my WD Cloud Drive (NAS drive) because it was the only thing I knew of at the time that would display the subtitles and CC on them using the VLC app. Well I found out quickly that there were lots of flaws to the app that was irritating the heck out of me. Like if you played a title that started with any letter, say a "B" (I look at the drive displayed as folders) as soon as you hit stop, it would suddenly show that title in the letter "O" spot instead of "B". Not only that but would also change the title to seemingly random characters/letters/numbers (didn't actually change the file name, only the listing in it's own display). Well the Chromecast with Google TV, VLC app, didn't do this at all. On top of that, I have all the other stuff/apps and more, that the other 2 had as well. I will be hooking a wireless keyboard and mouse up to it in a few days. I'm sold it's just the best of all of them combined and more.

    Google Chromecast, an amazing unit! This is so EASY. Just click the button, tell it the movie you want! It searches and finds the movie! No more trying to remember if the show is on Netflix, Prime, Disney, etc. This unit was pretty easy to set up. Just enter your user name and password one time, and then it is very easy! Well worth the money!
