Works just like a firestick. Which is good and bad. You have to go through menus more than usual. The voice operations are not as intuitive as just using your phone or Google home device and Google assistant. It works ok. I was hoping for exact functionality as chromecast with a gui like firestick. it nails the interface, but lacks in chromecast functionality compared to an actual chromecast

Got this to aid in Smart TV that is just old enough not to allow "casting" to anymore. Easy to set up (even I could do it!!), intuitive controller, and voila -- no more casting issues! Just starting to explore other options and having had a Firestick before, I'm quite happy with this as a replacement.

Plugged it in and eveything worked right away. Haven't had any problems in 6 months since I got it.

Having a Sony Android TV, I really liked the interface and watched some consistency in the other TVs. My bedroom TV is a Vizio and has a VERY slow interface. The Chromecast Google TV almost matches my Sony and is loads quicker than the Vizio SmartCast and a very worthwhile “upgrade”.

Set up was a breeze, and it is a great little bit of technology to enjoy all my streaming services with the push of a button or simple verbal command. It even has anime streaming apps, (Crunchyroll, Funimation, etc) which my nerdy-self was over the moon about.

Easy to install and setup. small and the remote works well. better than the last version

Great little way to turn that older TV that's been sitting around to a smart tv. Despite casting stuff onto your ipad or whatever. You can sign on to all the different streaming services easily. Set up was easy and didnt take long. As long as your internet connection is solid-- your all set

Coming from the old chromecast this is a huge uograde just in being able to stream instead of cast. Not having to have all the streaming apps on your phone is worth the upgrade alone.

This has made ournstreaming services even better. It is easy to install and user friendly. We are now piting thisndecicenon all our televisions in our home. We are able to cast from our phone. No other equipment needed. Just plug it in and follow the directions.

I am always Anroid fan Pros: Best and simple clean interface. Faster the firestick Con: Volume rocker is on side of remote. Remote build is little clumsy. You can not power it up by tv usb port , so you have use external power socket. Not like fire stick where u can power it using tv USB port Price is little high as you can get fire stick on sale half of it price

I had been waiting for a Google streamer ever since the Nexus Player from years ago, and this is the perfect device. If you have a Google oriented smart home, then this is a great addition as it can be managed with the rest of the devices in the Home app. As for the operation, the new Google TV interface is much more tailored for personal viewing with smart suggestions of what to watch next and having a system wide watchlist across all your services. It is a bit more complicated of a UI than standard Android TV, like you would find on an Nvidia Shield, but once you get used to it's more helpful for finding content. I would say the only negatives so far are the fact that featured content can be from services you don't subscribe to, which can be annoying but not a deal breaker for me. Also I've noticed the plastic remote is already getting slightly creaky in one spot after a month, but I barely notice it. Overall, I would definitely recommend this as the cheap streamer to get, especially if you're already invested in the Google ecosystem.

I keep forgetting this is a Chromecast too because with apps for things like YouTube and Netflix and all the major streaming and cable TV services, I never reach for my phone anymore. The remote makes it super easy to get around to what I want to see, often more quickly than scrolling around on my phone.

I love watching movies using my new dongle and the remote to it great feture to have.

I have tried all the different streaming devices out there and found this Chromecast w/Google TV to be the best. I like it so much - I have 4 myself and also have bought them as Xmas presents for others.

Yes, I would recommend the Google Chromecast to anyone who wants a simple and affordable way to stream content to their TV. It's a great option for people who don't need all the bells and whistles of a more expensive streaming device.

This is way better than the Tivo Stream 4k! It's cheaper, faster, more ram, and has more features too. It's also easier to setup with soundbar, etc. Be sure to download the android tv remote app, to make it even more convenient. i hope someone makes a case for it, because the remote seems very fragile.

I've used firesticks in the past but I won't go back after getting a Chromecast. Hooks up to all my other google devices and it easy to travel with.

We finally cut the cord! So got this to be able to watch YOUTUBE tv with out casting. Like it so much bought a second one for the other t.v!

As far as interface user-friendly and convenience this is the best streaming stick on the market. I currently have Xfinity as my cable provider and if it wasn't for them having their live service app available on Roku, I will have these throughout every TV in my house. I would recommend this to anyone.

The best device for streaming ive ever had. Quick easy setup even for a electronically challenged person that i am!!
