Customer Ratings & Reviews

Cut the cord 5 years ago, started with Roku's, but the devices started to die after a few years. Moved to the new Chromecast, and it's been awesome. I love how you don't need to go into every app to see what's new or what you've been watching. GoogleTV does that all for you.

I bought this as I added Starz for 6 months in a Hulu bundle but my older TV was unable to view Starz. Added this and Starz was available but also a nice hub for our other streamers. Got it on sale and its worth it.

Get it. It’s perfect. Made our old smart tv feel like new.. better than new… also made our new smart tv feel new again.

Great streaming device! Easy to setup! Great picture and sound quality!

This is great technology for the value. It’s easy to use and the interface is great.

Ok. Long story short. I wanted to get away from the Amazon Ecosystem and after how Amazon wrongful treated me during their Prime Day event. After they would not honor their Prime Day price and coupons to replace a lost item, I said, bye. Anyways. The Chromecast with Android TV is pretty much a chromcast device where you can cast contents from your device to the screen. What's even better is now that you have Android TV built in so you don't need to use a mobile device or PC to watch youtube, Netflix, pandora, spotify, etc. You can do this all from Android TV. It's nice for the non-smart TVs or projectors out there. The interface is pretty simple. If you have an Android TV before, like Sony or Hensine (Did I spell that right?), Then you know how to operate this device. If you don't have one, think of it as a FireTV but without the heavy amazon interface. Very simple, gets to the point, and you can find what you want. This does have Google Assitance if you ever need it. I haven't used it yet. The only gripe I have is that it will not reconnect to your BT soundbar to headphones. You would need to reconnect them every time you power on the Chromecast. Power is through USB to a power adapter, so you won't be able to plug it into a USB port on your TV or projector. Overall a great alternative to the Amazon ecosystem.

This device works amazing. It has connection to any app in the Play store and works flawlessly with all of our TVs a great addition to our home connection to any app in the Play store and works flawlessly with all of our TVs a great addition to our home

If you have a non-smart TV or an older one that does not use the newer apps, then this device will breathe new life into your TV. My TV works just fine, but it could not use a lot of the new streaming apps. This gives me access to everything I need, and the home page allows me to easily access the content of any app with ease.

Easy to install. Easy to use. Very fast. A very high quality product.

I travel quite a bit for work, so I purchased this as my travel companion to keep me occupied while on business. Our home is outfitted with several Google smart home products, so my viewing preferences and options followed me wherever I went. Simple and easy to use if you're familiar with the layout.

I love this. So easy to use. The remote makes a huge difference.

Simply Amazing google device. Very snappy and remote fits great in hand

overall runs very smoothly. the setup through the home app i felt was a little rough and could be smoother. finding apps outside of the default apps was a little difficult but once you know what your doing the device is very smooth compared to firesticks and rokus that i have in the house as well.

I was reluctant to purchase this as I already had a functioning smart TV. However, the Chromecast streaming service is far superior to what you'll get with any TV. The remote is awesome--small, easy to use, no unneeded button, and has an excellent voice command feature. And the remote controls my home theatre audio receiver.

We have one of these on each TV with a YouTube TV subscription and we haven’t looked back. Setup was super easy and easy sync with my google account. We even take the YouTube TV on vacation with us and stay connected. Devices sit nice and flush behind the TV or behind the Receiver.

Works well. I like to listen to my internet radio stations through my home entertainment equipment and lost the ability to do that. My Total Tech rep suggested this and the user interface is better than the TV's and I can listen to music again when not watching TV. Easy to set up.

The chromecast itself works about the same as earlier models. The user interface was workable. A nice touch was the ability to program the YouTube button to go to wither YouTube or YouTube TV. The interface was workable, without being outstanding. The remote was another matter. It's clunky and a bit hard to navigate with. It's small, especially for big hands, and it can use more buttons and features. They do have a remove control that's based in a mobile phone, but it doesn't work much better. One annoying trait of this device is that it goes offline if not used for a given length of time. The old Chromecasts would show a selection of background images, and that is what this version sould have done by default. Instead, it just goes black, so switching HDMI inputs to the one Chromecast is on will result in a blank screen and the television informing the user that there is no HDMI signal. Pushing a button on the remote brings up the interface after a few seconds. The YouTube interface seems inferior to the one on Roku. Also, Tubi does not have the My List function on the sidebar as it does on other streaming devices. Ther were a few other apps with similar problems. I returned it and went back to using Roku, which can still access YouTube TV through the regulare YouTube app. Perhaps the next version or an update will bring better functionality.

Better than the app installed software in Vizio smart TV. So easy to setup and much easier to use while navigating the multitude of apps that you can add on this device.

Finally a remote. Great product, very snappy, and great picture quality.

This was not an easy task from the to begin with. I have a Pioneer receiver that has Chromecast built in and I had a lot of trouble getting it to work. As a matter of fact I did not get it to work on my receiver at all even talking to a tech so I did the next best thing, I went to Best Buy and bought the Chromecast and had it up and running in 5 minutes.
