Customer Ratings & Reviews

The best decision chromecast ever made so far. The best interface on all streaming devices. The addition of the remote is good too but not the best (FireTV remote). It has all of the apps and customization for the viewer's pleasure.

No problems so far. Happy with the purchase. Would recommend it.

I can stream all the movies and anime that I want from my phone to the TV. And in high quality.

Very impressed. Typical, easy set up through google home. Ability to search across streaming services is wonderful. UI is a huge improvement from classic android tv. Looking forward to Google TV being imbedded in Sony, Hisense natively.

Got it for my boyfriend for Christmas and he loves it. Very easy to use and set up. He loves that you can access movies and shows from different services under one platform. Much easier to use than switching from service to service.

Device operates quickly and google tv is easy to use. WiFi works well and connection is reliable. Not very much storage and additional apps fills it up fast. Plan on adding USB hub and flash drives to expand it. Some hubs require larger USB power supply. I like the remote. Prefer this over Firestick.

great device easy to setup works better than a fire stick in my opinion. i like that you can switch to app only mode to cut out all of the paid programing and apps you dont use. overall a great little device 4K with no issues

Great product, everything you need to see with google chromecast, excellent picture quality! I might buy another one.

My grandson did some research and asked if I would buy him this device. He has used it many times and really enjoys how easy it is to use and how well it works.

The TV portion works great, it was easy to install and configure. The only minor nit I have is that I wanted some native browser support via chrome and it doesn't allow that. Not a major issue if you are using it for casting/tv though.

The compatibility of this device is awesome. You can stream basically any media app from your phone to it. I even use the voice feature on the controller to control my smart home stuff that is linked to Google. Can use it to live view my Wyze cams on the tv, love it and have been using them for years. 100% worth it, turns any tv with an hdmi into a smart tv.

Bought one to try as both a good device for Google TV and and to see if it would be better than my Roku. This unit plugs right into the back my my TV, and because my TV does not have a newer USB port, I have to run a power cable to it, so it does not look great with my wall mounted TV. I already disconnected the Google TV service as it's really not much cheaper than cable TV and I dislike the menu UI a lot compared to Verizon FIOS. However, as a device to display streaming channels, it's pretty good, and one thing we especially like is seeing movie and TV options from all of the streaming services I subscribe to, instead of loading each service and looking for shows. The remote is OK, and the system is actually more responsive than my Roku (the most powerful of the Roku line), and the voice search works well. The ability to bookmark shows in the main menu seems inconsistent, but I am enjoying the unit overall and it might replace our Roku for good.

Probably the best streamer for the money. If you want an affordable option to Roku and Nvidia Sheild, this is your best choice. Easy setup and works well with my Visio Smart TV. Will upgrade my other TV's soon with the new Chromecast.

Really easy to set up, maybe 5 minutes. Love the UI and the remote is perfect.

This is a great streamer for the price, my only complaint is it has such little internal storage so don't plan on loading a ton of apps, just the essentials. If you need more space/app support get the Nvidia shield tv. If money is no object, get the apple tv instead as it's by far my favorite streamer because it always works and is always fast, and has other perks other streamers still don't have. Apps can get janky on android tv devices and especially cheap FireTV sticks which makes them frustrating to deal with, and they tend to run sluggish/choppy.

Easy to setup and syncs very easily with any tv. All apps in one place with ease of use however the continue watching feature only works with shows on google or disney but not with netflix or amazon. Would definitely get another one.

This is a great buy to make a dumb TV smart. It's relatively inexpensive, ( vs buying a smart tv) and it does a lot. The voice comprehension is particularly good. It understands what is being asked quite nicely. It's able to tell you calendar events as well assuming you use Google calendar for appointments. What i struggled with a bit was initial password setup and user ids. In some cases you can use a QR code to do that on your mobile or computer. That's a much better option than the on screen keyboard which is painful to use.

The older generation Chromecast devices are glitchy. But, this one is super solid. And, it isn't just Chromecast. It is a full TV streaming platform with a remote that puts it in the same category as Apple TV and Roku. I'm a big Apple TV user, but now I use this much more than Apple TV. It is cheaper, smaller, and for the most part just as functional. It even has a stripped down Apple TV app built in. I'm a huge fan of this. Only complaint is the form factor on the remote. It is small, slippery, hard to hang onto, and the volume controls are especially wonky to push. Except for that, this would be 5 stars on ease of use. But, you can live with that since the device is so solid.

First one that I got was defective and would not boot up fully. Light blinked a bunch but nada on my screen. Went back to the store and traded it for another which worked immediately. So much better than the standard Chromecast. The casting was fine but sometimes it would act funny and the stuff I watched sometimes skipped around even though I had it set up on 5ghz, same as my phone. None of those issues exist with this one. The remote is great and linked up to my A/V receiver (which I got second hand with no remote) allowing me to control the volume. Also I was able to put more apps on this thing, including emulators. So now I can play SNES games with my PS5 controller linked up via bluetooth. It's great.

Easy to set up and easy to use, good price too! Good quality!
