Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've had the 1st gen Chromecast device and this new one is a much better experience. I like that there's a dedicated remote and seems more of a streaming box experience rather than just a casting device from previous generations. Works very well and easy to use.

Google Chrome cast mates streaming movies, TVs, shows, I am binge watching seamless. All you have to do is ask Google to play a show or movie and it comes right up. No more going through the hassle of looking for the application to play the specific show or movie.

Ive had all of the big streaming sticks/boxes, but this is the best one ive used. I decided to revisit the chromecast after using the first gen years ago. Im glad i did.

Work really well I brought a projector to connect this to make a home movie theater and 4.1 speaker system this chromecast has bluetooth so I connect to my sound system and it works really well 4k looks really good and hdr love watch TV from this chromecast

Like an Apple TV, but not $150. Has all the 4k HDR stuff that my 2019 Vizio display can handle. Pretty easy to use. I wish more of the apps / services integrated with Google's recommendation and search system. Have had some trouble on my wifi network (5 GHz vs 2.4 GHz etc etc) but they patched it and things have gotten better.

Easiest streaming box I have ever used, super fast and reaponsive

Easy to setup. Can control tv volume too. Can cast from phone, laptop etc as well. Fast and simple. Has various media applications.

Originally drawn to this as the cheapest streamer I could find that supports Dolby Vision. It works fairly well save for some caveats: 1) For some reason can never get the CNN Go app to work (though this seems to be a common issue). 2) While it seems to be resolved now, whenever using the Vudu app, it would always play my purchases as HDX rather than UHD. It seems there was an update which now allows Dolby Vision and UHD. But you'll need to do your research to see what apps support Dolby Vision on this device. I didn't take this into consideration when purchasing, and so I need to mix use between this and my Vizio TV's smart app to get Dolby Vision content. 3) I've had issues here and there with flickering when outputting at 4k 60hz. In some instances it wouldn't enable Dolby Vision unless I converted to 4k 30hz. Some of these issues were fixed upgrading my HDMI cables. But it sometimes flickers when connected directly to my Yamaha rx-v4a receiver. So just be aware of this if you're looking for 60hz. Overall, if you need the best quality streamer, you'll probably want to revert to Roku Ultra (I used Roku before and it's safe and dependable) or Apple TV. But for most other uses, this works pretty well considering it's only $50.

It works really well and the OS is smooth and simple. I'm able to use my TV's remote (LG) with it as well, which means I don't have to juggle two remotes as often. Biggest issue I have is with the small internal storage. There are a lot of games that can be installed directly onto the Chromecast, but not nearly enough storage for them.

I've used firesticks in the past but I won't go back after getting a Chromecast. Hooks up to all my other google devices and it easy to travel with.

it’s a good product for its price. it makes regular tvs into smart tvs. the remote is small and it’s easy to setup and use. the only issues i have is with bluetooth and hbo max. you have to go into setting and manually connect to bluetooth devices every time, and the hbo max app is bad but it’s because of hbo max not google

Turns any old TV into a smart TV. It turned my mom’s nearly 20 year old TV into a cutting edge display. Goolge’s interface is much nicer than Fire TVs and Roku.

Wonderful addition to the Google Smart Home devices. Especially love that casting is seamless and that you can use the official Google app as a remote and hub/dashboard.

I love it because the Google TV portion brings in all your streaming apps to one location. So much better than having to switch between your Amazon Fire Stick, Roku device, or any other attachment and using up multiple HDMI ports.

Easy to set up and use. I received the first as a gift and when I needed another streaming device (despite having used Roku for years), I ran out and bought this one. Shipping was super fast and I was able to get everything set up in under an hour.

It's excellent, responsive. Massive improvement moving on from classic Chromecast to Android tv.

Works very well with our LG smart TV. Set-up was easy - it was almost plug and play. Channel choices are excellent.

Surprisingly powerful device - it feels more like an AppleTV or similar sized set-top. It has frozen and crashed on me a couple times, hense the 4 instead of 5 stats. But if you don't have the space for an AppleTV 4k / Android similar, this is the best "just plug it into the back of the TV" media Hub I've seen to date.

I ended up purchasing this when my wife and I went into the hospital for the birth of our son. It was easy to set up. Still use it every single day would recommend.

Plus: Home screen that gives you previews of what is trending or new. Hooks up with Google Assistant and comes in handy to control the TV from anywhere. It saves preferences and profiles. You can even watch TikTok on it. You can also talk into the remote as you would your phone when using Google Assistant. The Youtube and Netflix buttons come in handy because for whatever reason after watching a show we usually default to opening one of those 2 apps. Cons: I like the simplicity of only the 2 streaming service buttons, but part of me wonders what if we had more (such as hulu, hbo, disney etc) plus The navigation buttons are very similar to an old ipod (button with circular directional surrounding). They look and feel nice, but at times the buttons mash and you try to move right but end up moving down or up. That is the only reason why i gave a 4 star, if the buttons didnt mash i would give it 5 stars all the way!
