Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent dongle with remote. We recently moved from satellite tv to streaming and were looking for an easy to use system. We were already using Chromecast for Netflix, but were tired of using phones to control our programs. This frees up our phones and has all of the programming in one place. We liked the first one so well, we bought two more for the other TV's in the house. I do wish that the volume keys were a little bit easier to manipulate. I often turn up when trying to turn down.

This is great and mostly the same as the older versions of the Chromecast I've loved for years however, for some reason this is a bit more finicky about connecting to my phone or computer. Hopefully that's just a bug that will be fixed with time but for now it is somewhat frustrating to not be able to cast from VLC player at all or from my phone as easily. Clearly the intention is for you to use the remote to access youtube through the built in interface however when there are multiple users in the house with different accounts and different subscriptions this isn't a perfect solution. These are all minor gripes though and otherwise it works great!

Easy to use, has all the good streaming platforms and the remote controls the tv in addition to the Chromecast

Very good Very fast and easy to use You just need a Google account and you can download everything you need

Great product. Very easy to setup and a great interface. Successfully controls my TV. Family finds it very easy to use.

AMAZING, simply the nest purchase I could ever made. Works very fast and the control y super easy to handle

The Android TV Software is a really nice alternative to use vs. a Roku or Apple TV. It is easy to set up, the remote is easy to program with your TV and Sound bar, and the picture quality is great. I would give 5 stars, but they need to work on the UI a bit, which can get stuttery at times, along with the way it displays available content to watch. It tends to not test all available providers (i.e, Netflix, Amazon) the same with what it queues up for you to watch. Also, they did not make Google Stadia available at launch, and the only reason I can imagine is that they had to try and sell the rest of their Chromecast Ultra dongles first.

I looked at a lot of these streaming devices and I’m so glad I picked this one. 4K streaming and convenient remote

Easy to connect to the TV and set up. Remote is pretty minimal and can use google home as remote as well. Customizable screensaver and google assistant are great features.

Bar none if you are a business traveler you need this device. I was on the fence after watching/reading reviews, but finally decided to pull the trigger and so glad I did. The ability to have this completely setup and all my accounts logged in, makes this nearly a plug and play experience in a hotel. And the ability to pair bluetooth headphones and easily sign in to the hotel wifi, means a quiet easy experience to start enjoying your streaming services.

Works really well! It's very easy to control and cast stuff from my phone.

The biggest difference I notice between my smart tvs and this Chromecast is the speed when moving through menus. Midrange smart tvs always lag and make navigating menus tedious. This chromecast is a fair bit snappier which has been a pleasure. Having a physical remote is definitely an upgrade over my older chromecasts too!

Bought this as a cheaper alternative to the Apple TV box. It obviously doesn't have access to the Apple App Store and the system UI isn't as clean as the Apple TV, but I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth the menu runs. And in comparison to the regular Chromecast w/o Google TV, having this menu, voice control, and access to the Google Play Store are nice touches.

Love it! All my steaming services in one place in 4K? What more can I say?? Easy to use and set up, affordable too!

The only complaint I have is that doesn't support the Charter Spectrum Tv app out of the box. You have to cast the app from your phone while with the Roku Devices and the Nvidia Shield Devices you were able to install it to those devices. My wife loves it she found it easy to use and she loves the suggestions on the home screen as what to watch next along with telling her where to watch it. She also loves that it tells her when her tv shows air their next episode as well.

Ez to setup. Good quality. Overall worth the money, Better than Apple TV and with even lower price

Great streaming device to access YTTV and all of it's options. Turned my outdated 2014 Samsung Smart that no longer supports app installations that are now readily available (e.g., Apple TV+, Paramount+, etc.). Works seamlessly with YTTV as YTTV is a Google product as is the Chromecast with Google TV. They go "hand in hand" so to speak. More intuitive than Roku which now battles with Google not to offer YTTV as an app option.

Great product! Easy to use and set up. Fast speed when moving between apps.

Perfect for my room! I have a small Samsung smart tv, however, the apps are not great and it is kind of slow so maybe not so smart. This is a great addition and helps the TV work better including for older TV's, which we also still have. The remote works quick and makes it easy to type and search with voice commands.

Google chromecast is fast and offers several optilms to consume media. You can cast almost any app from your phone. You can even screen mirror if the app doesnt support casting. It also has standalone apps on the chromecast itself. All of your favorites are here from netflix to youtube. The proce is extremely attractove as well for a 4k streaming device.
