Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'm tech-challenged as so many people already have Roku, Apple TV and Amazon Fire sticks as a part of their entertainment systems. I have only had ChromeCast Built-In on my Toshiba TV thus far. This device allows a far superior use of PLEX as well as easier ChromeCast not to mention other streaming apps like YouTube TV, YouTube, and such. The remote is comfortable and convenient. This is NOT the box the NVidia Shield is, yet it's only a quarter the cost as well! For the $50 it's a rather nice box!

Super fast, easy to use and the remote can be connected to the TV as well.

Good value for the money. Easy and fast set-up. The voice assistant works amazingly well and it is nice that it isn't always listening for a wake word. It only listens when the user presses a button. The remote control fits nicely in the hand. No more fumbling for a tablet or a smartphone to pause, rewind, or fast-forward like one had to do with earlier Chromecasts.

Of all the streaming devices out there, this is my favorite. Yes, it has some areas for improvement, but I like the speed of moving between menus, the layout of menus, the ease of finding what you are looking for, and the variety of apps. I would love to see google improve on the storage capacity. I must mention that the price is right.

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.

The cheapest way to get Google TV. The hardware was made perfectly to match the capabilities of the software so it doesn't lag and keeps up as they continue to update and improve the capabilities. The voice remote just works, as it should. The 'match content' HDR setting can be a little finicky. Just make sure to always reboot the Chromecast after changing HDMI settings.

I've tried all the streaming sticks and this one is my favorite by far because of the casting ability. I love that the remote can be synced to your TV and my Pixel 4A 5G has the controls built into it in case I don't have the remote next to me. I've owned Chromecasts since they first came out but this takes it to the next level

I love this thing. I think I will probably start replacing my Roku devices with these as I like the interface much better. Once they integrate more services into the Live view it will be even more amazing. The only thing I dont like is that the remote is a bit small for my hands and is slippery, so hopefully someone will come out with a cover that makes it easier to hold.

best streaming device in that price range. easy to install and easy to use

Great product! I like the chrome cast tv as you can access a lot of digital content. In comparison to just a regular chrome cast, for a slightly higher price, the remote makes it so worth it. Ability to control you media on one side, the option to access google assistant is a great benefit. The only downside is that you have to connect it to a power source separately.

Better than roku and fire stick. Faster and better layout easy to use.

Very happy with my purchase. Was a great gift for my dad as it was easy to explain setup and how to effectively use it for his 4K tv that didn’t have Chromecase included. Great picture quality as well. Would recommend

Got it to Complement an older Samsung TV that didn’t have many “Apps” Seems made really well, fast, and is very user friendly

I’ve been growing bored of my Roku’s tired old home screen and features. This thing is quicker, gives better content recommendations, and is cheaper than my Roku Ultra was. Plus I can tell the assistant to adjust my thermostat with the remote. Nice.

I got one to replace my original chromecast. This is way better than the original. a must have if you do not have a smart tv.

Best streamer at$50!I downloaded 3rd party apps,so I can use Zoom Video app and other apps on my TV. Google Duo is great for video chatting.I attached j5Create webcam to CGTV using USB C hub.Now I can Video chat from my couch controlling with Logitech K 40 0 plus keyboard. CGTV remote control can controls TV also. Excellent product from Google at so low price!

Device itself is great. Picture quality is perfect. *Remote is aweful, it slips from your hand, buttons are in a weird layout. I would recommend but also recommend a universal remote at time of purchase.

At first I didn't really like it with a new UI similar to Amazon's firestick but they have an app only mode to only show you the apps you have downloaded. After I put it in this mode, I loved it. The UI is cleaner and simple. The device also runs snappier and less hot. I'm glad they had that option. And can compare to my Apple TV but definitely beats it for the price.

It works great. I can cast from my Desktop PC and work from my easy Chair.

Installation was very easy as was the setup. We only ran into one issue when after installing the soundbar disconnected as if competing with the Chromecast hardware. Somehow the connection between both was made on the TV and now we can enjoy watching all our family favorites! My son prefers this device over the Firestick, although I think they work relatively the same.
