    Excellent device but it was just not for me.

    Very smooth UI and all the app choices you would want. Now my issue with it (and the reason I returned it) is because it will not work with the 1A / 5V power provided by the TV's USB port. It needs more than that so you are forced to use the included power adapter. The way my TV is set up It has not visible cables so I just wanted to connect this device to it and forget about it. Unfortunately this was not for me but if you have a setup where you have a power outlet behind your TV or not care about the dangling cable then this one is definitely for you

    Best Chromecast So Far!

    This little device packs a punch. The interface is relatively straighforward. The features are great (now that Stadia is also available on it). I have used Roku and Fire Stick, but I'm sticking with GoogleTV. Only drawback is the limited storage space, but I was able to resolve that using an attached hub that also provides Ethernet for greater stability.

    Since Google and Roku are fighting it out, we've had to move away from Roku. We purchased a couple of the new Chromecast with GoogleTV units. Boy, are they great! Anyone that uses YoutubeTV must have these! The guide is right on the home screen. So is a lot of your library from your YouTubeTV DVR. Google was very smart to add the remote and to un-tether the Chromecast from your phone while keeping the casting capabilities.

    The Chromecast with Google TV is worth the money. It has replaced our NVIDIA shield due to the updated interface which we think makes it easier to use. I've purchased two of these devices. I did have an issue where the remote became disconnected from the device. I contacted Google support and they walked me through a factory reset of the remote (Remove batteries + press/hold the home button + install batteries). It's been working great ever since!

    Loving the interface of the Google Home. It's very user friendly and allows for customizable and tailored suggestion based off of your preference. Great device for converting older TVs to new model feel.

    I have been using the original Chromecast and decided to bite the bullet with this version. I have to say my experience so far has been an upgrade to the original. The device is quick to set up, recommendations as all things Google work great for the shows and movies. Integration with my smart home set up was a cakewalk. The remote controller is a wee bit tiny for my hands but otherwise 10/10 from me.

    Easy Setup, the Google Chromecast was a breeze to set up. The channels that you can access are a more broad quantity than regular cable. I cut the cord with spectrum and don't regret it not one bit we only use their company for internet after years of wasting money on their TV lineup package and a phone that we did not utilize.

    One of the best innovations for flexible watching/sharing. We have bought several chromecast devices, and more for gifts for extended family. It's great to be able to quickly cast from any device, and the inclusion of Google TV is very convenient for accessing streaming apps.

    Works great use it as a media hub in the master bedroom. Works well with android phones to cast screen *not sure about iPhones. Remote is finicky sometimes have to raise is higher when laying down in bed.. *or maybe I'm lazy... Works tons better than a firestick imo. Faster, clearer & just better. Get one!

    Disappointing Performance

    I tried the Chromecast 4K, hoping it would be a solid addition to my streaming setup, but it left me disappointed. The device was noticeably slower compared to other streaming options like Apple TV, with laggy menu navigation and delayed responses when opening apps. While the picture quality was good, the overall sluggish performance made it frustrating to use, especially when switching between apps or content. For the price, it’s a decent option for those on a budget, but if you’re used to the snappiness of devices like Apple TV, this may not be the best choice. I ended up returning it and sticking with what worked better for me.

    Google did not let me down. I bought this because my smart tv is a vizo and it's Xmb (cross media bar) really sucks, It was slow and it didn't have disney plus....This is where the Chrome Cast shines. It replaced all media watching on the tv...turning my Vizio into a 4k monitor and that is amazing. It also received updates a lot and that was good because tiny issues were resolved quickly.

    Love this so far! We're looking to cut the cord from cable TV, and this might nudge us to finally do it. The first 2 weeks after we plugged it in, we didn't even turn our cable box on! (We were binge watching shows we had wanted to see, to be fair...) Need to get some additional subscriptions (Disney+ and so on) but still well worth it. The A/V quality is excellent, and no lag (we have cable internet).

    Chrome cast is a perfect way to manage your smart tv with the google apps. I use these on the 3 tv's in my home. Easy setup and to use. This product also get updates, its a simple as a click to update when you get the notification on your tv.

    The layout of this streaming device is very user friendly. It organizes your apps very well and can program to your TV, audio equipment and other devices to streamline your experience! However, I only gave it a 4 star because it doesn’t support Dolby Atmos audio and is slightly glitchy at seldom moments.

    I decided to buy this streaming device for my S-N-L. I brought it for her to replace the Google Asus Nexus Player I brought her 6-7 years ago. Which is still working. Was going to wait & give it to her for Christmas. But decided to just give it to her as soon as it arrived. Only took 2 days for it to arrive from BB. She said this is so much better and faster than the old streaming Nexus Player.
