All I can say is WOW! I tried the "FireCube" from Amazon and was spectacularly disappointed. Then I bought the CHROMECAST. And WOW, It works beautifully. It does not Buffer. It's remote can be voice activated. It controls my SONY 4K tv as well. It allowed me to load the APPS I wanted. APP SURFING if that is a thing,is quick. This thing just plain works FLAWLESSLY. The only drawback is the size and shape of the remote. It is extra small which can be difficult for big hands like mine. And it slips between sofa cushions instantly. I highly recommend this over Roku and Firecube.

Cut the cord over a year ago and have been streaming a limited number of television programs from my desktop computer to an earlier version of Chromecast. However, now that I have upgraded to this model, I have greatly expanded the content of what I can watch due to no longer being confined to the computer and it allowing me to download and store apps on my actual television, which is not the latest version of a smart TV. Additionally, having a remote to control it verses my computer mouse is like having cable television without the exorbitant cost.

Major improvement to TV experience: allows me to avoid the Android interface on Hisense TV (which is unbearable). This version of the chromecast has really outdone its previous versions. It is quick, snappy, and has built in microphone to give 'Hey Google' cues (excellent for movie time, dimming lights, turning them back on etc).. Also makes searching a particular movie/tv show title a snap. Having the Chromecast linked to google home allows me to turn on/off the TV; it can even launch Netflix/Spotify directly from an OFF state via voice command.

Love this device and I have a few now. Setup is very simple and you can control a sound bar with it as well. Linking streaming services and learning how to navigate is an easy process. If you subscribe to youtube tv, I'd say this device is a must-have. One item of note, this device requires power from an outlet, most usb ports on tvs won't supply enough power for this thing. It comes with the power cord (usbc to usba) and ac adapter but the cord is about 3 feet in length so keep that in mind as you may need to purchase a longer cord depending on your situation.

This is a great streamer. Easy to use. Think of it as an Nvidia Shield Lite. I'd get this over a Roku or Firestick anyday, (I've got all of the above)

Pretty cool love that the chromecast finally got the 4k and an actual interface for the apps. If yku live the google ecosystem this is for you.

Awesome piece of entertainment tech. I don't understand why someone who choose a 200 dollar Apple TV over this (usually 50 dollar) item that does the same thing (with a very nice user interface)! It aggregates all the sources for shows (Disney+, Netflix, Prime, Hulu, etc) and shows everything you're subscribed to at a glance: what you've seen, what's on your watchlist, etc. It's awesome. Highly recommended. Wish they were built into modern TVs and not Android TV (which is apparently different).

best streaming device on the market. fast, responsive and lots of content. the UI is really nice and easy to navigate.

As an early adopter of UHD, before the ratification of HDMI 2.1 and HDCP 2.2 on every HDMI interface, my screen's performance was great but the SmartOS is no longer supported. Chromecast w/ Google TV 4K, problem solved. While the native SmartOS is no longer supported, the 4K Chromecast has brought new life to a high quality 4K UHD set. I'm using the 1 HDCP 2.2 port for Chromecast and the Deep Color HDMI port for my PS4 Pro.

Awesome interface and easy to use. Control feels really cheap since it’s so light. Wish it would come in a black version not just white.

Fast, superior picture, very easy and intuitive to operate

Easy to set up and use. Having a remote is great. Casting from your phone is very easy.

I love the Chromecast and I love the free promotions that cam with it

Finally able to use my 4K tv the way it was meant to be used. Chromecast makes it so easy to display things and I love the remote that comes with it.

The interface is very easy to use and is faster then most on board smart TVs. You can't go wrong with this. The remote is very easy to use as well.

A must-have for any tv. The interface is clean, and has access to so many apps from the play store. Can stream 4k. I can't believe it's only $50

best overall streamer overall, super fast easy to setup, GOOGLE TV access to playstore app, infinite customization of use

Easy setup & Clean interface. Much simpler than the fire tv stick.

I bought this device over a year ago and definitely like it a lot more than my built in Samsung smart functionality (My TV is from 2017). It's faster and has more apps. This device replaced my entire TV's functionality, I rarely touch the TV's remote. If I were pressed to name a downside it would be that on the rare occasion it will hang up for a few seconds, but I only mention it because I don't like reviews that are 100% positive.

Having a remote is soo much better for Chromecast. It's quick and easy to set up. The remote is compact and fits great in the hand. A great improvement
