Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Chromecast is great because it allows me to use my Google Home to voice control my Samsung Smart flatscreen. I enjoy using Youtube since I have many home videos stored there. The Chromecast remote allows you also to control the volume on the TV as well.

Useful even if you already have a smart TV, in my opinion its faster and the apps are always up to date. I got this by $39 and the delivery was super fast. The 'negative' thing you cant use the port usb on TV to power the device.

Clean interface, fast and responsive. Only issue is I have to buy a power adapter to connect it directly to USB power on my TV. Charge me $10 more and put the power adapter in the device by default!

Grat fro what I need it easy and simple to use love the remote control.

A huge improvement to a regular Chromecast. I still can cast from my phone, but I can use it directly with the remote. Also, I plugged a USB-C hub on it and I was able to use a webcam and have a video chat on Google Duo with my family in front of my TV! Awesome!

I ordered this to replace an older streaming device. It was getting slow, so I decided to get this version of the Chromecast since it has google TV. The most annoying part was setting up the device. You have to have a smartphone to set it up. You need to download an app and scan the QR code. It took a lot longer than I wanted since It needed to download some updates. However once I updated it, everything has been working well. Sometimes, when I stream videos, it randomly stops and has to load and reload multiple times. I think it depends on the app because some apps don't have that problem. The other issues I have are plugging it into the HDMI port and the remote. You only have to do it once, so it's not a huge deal. it was only more difficult for me since my tv is mounted to the wall and there is little clearance. If I had to do it again, I would've gotten a HDMI extension cable and plugged it into that. The remote works, but it's too small and slippery. I have to be extra careful since the bottom is rounded and has fallen out of my hand several times. It would be easier to handle if it was bigger or the bottom was flat.

Finally a Chromecast with a remote! I get the idea of casting to your tv and using your mobile device as the remote but fast forwarding and other things was really a pain. Love this! I would not have bought a Roku had google come out with this in the first place

I have a 4K TV with a built in Roku TV and it pales in comparison to this device. Setting it up was super easy, the Google TV OS was very snappy, and casting local 4k media worked flawlessly. If you are looking for a good and affordable 4k streaming device, then look no further.

This new version of Chromecast is a phenomenal device for users without TV cable or dish services. I now have two Chomecast devices on my smart TVs. I use them to watch free movies and cast other streaming services. Works well on DSL, which is the only internet access I have.

After having satellite and cable for 35 years, I recently changed to YouTube TV at the behest of a couple of friends. I figured what better streaming device to use than that supplied by the owner of the service, Google. The dongle and power supply are cleanly designed and can be installed with a minimum of fuss, and the remote communicates with the dongle using radio frequency or Bluetooth or something else that does not require line-of-sight like infrared, so the dongle can be hidden out of sight. The remote is hard, slippery plastic and is much easier to handle with a third party, silicone rubber slip cover installed on it. The buttons are very easy to push with minimal tactile feedback, so it is easy to hit one by mistake when reaching for the remote without looking and activating an unintended function. At first I didn't like the placement of the volume buttons on the right side of the device as I found them hard to operate with my thumb when holding the remote in my right hand. I have adapted by using the remote in my left hand. The device comes in three colors, white and two ugly ones, but that is subjective. Power is supplied to the dongle via a USB-A to USB-C cable and comes with a small power converter block. Two AAA batteries for the remote are also provided.

Nice, easy to use, fast. Set up in less than 5 minutes, working good, zero issues. Good instructions, easy system. Voice search works flawlessly

It looks like it is as good as a Fire TV. The device looks good and the remote is nice. However, it is a bit getting used to how to navigate through everything. I saw that a USB hub could be connected to expand its storage and other capabilities so that was why I purchased it. However, it would have been better if it has more than 4G of storage. That was just not that much at all.

Great user friendly interface. Software continues to adapt to your viewing history and provides useful recommendations. You get a lot in the small package. If you're a YouTube TV subscriber, you can also reprogram the YouTube button on the remote to launch that app directly.

It works well. The interface is great, and the remote is easy to use.

The best streaming media device you can own. Google has figured out how to bring all of your services together to allow you to discover a large library of entertainment. The new Google Chrome Cast is fast, and quick you will have a new appreciation for television again.

The best Chromecast yet. I highly recommend it. The remote control is the best. I wish I could program the buttons to my liking but I understand that is a feature that might be available in the future. If you have an Older TV and especially if it's 4K this is the way to go.

There's nothing special, better or more inclusive about this in relation to it's competitors regarding the streaming TV. I know, I literally have them all. UNTIL you get to being able to cast simply from your phone, computer, and even your Fire HD (although that takes some additional work). That's where this shines, and the 4K model is the one to buy when it's priced well.

Excellent device. Turns basic LED TV into streaming, smart TV with minimal setup. Like Google TV as it carries all the top streaming channels. This was for my sister—she is ecstatic to have Discovery Plus and other apps in addition to cable TV. Recommended.

We purchased this to stream my sons VR games so everyone can watch and has worked great. We have had no issues.

Works as expected. Very responsive. I ended up replacing all the Fire sticks in my home because these are much faster. It's nice being able to cast from my phone or just use the remote. Definitely recommend if you are invested in the Google ecosystems.
