Worth every penny!! I am a long term cord cutter and Android TV user. I have a Shield TV. Getting these for my parents. Was concerned about this running hot or freezing so I opened one to do a trial run before giving them to my parents. Left it plugged up for a few hours. Works GREAT! I will say this though. It will be a good idea to spend a few extra $$ and get the insignia 7 port USB-C hub with ethernet or Belkin version. It works OK on wifi with slight delays. That was using a Fiber wifi connection. That is not a issue with the ethernet plugged into the USB-C hub. YouTube can walk you through the set up with using the hub. It's all pretty much plug and play with some good tweaks on the videos about side loading and extra memory. Had a sandisk memory stick plugged in. Was only like 100 mb/s read rate so get a memory card/stick that has a minimum 200 mb/s read speed. That way any apps you move over to it will load faster.

We purchased to use on the spare room tv. Set up took a while with getting all the logins right. Once that was done it works like a champ. We have not tried with Google assistant yet. We'll be getting a couple as gifts for the parents.

Super easy and good value. Works well with the Oculus. Slight lag but its ok if you turn the volume down on tv.

Bought two of these for my TVs. They work amazingly and I wish I would have come across these awhile ago as my tvs have been collecting dust for quite some time. Super easy set up and works awesome, especially if you already have Google home. Would definitely recommend.

Opens up possibilities we had not had before. I got it to use with YouTube TV and have decided to put that purchase off for a while, but there are other benefits such as having the same menu as I do on my new Android TV. I also like having the remote. Recommended

Loved it, it gave life to an old TV and it's amazing, still working fine. Just the OK bottom sometimes needs to be clicked harder

Easy to set up and use. I received the first as a gift and when I needed another streaming device (despite having used Roku for years), I ran out and bought this one. Shipping was super fast and I was able to get everything set up in under an hour.

Excellent device to use for streaming. Love having all apps on one device.

Easy to set up, great for all apps. Nice addition to a home.

I love it so much I bought one for every room. I upgraded from the one of version to this one and it’s even better

Work really well I brought a projector to connect this to make a home movie theater and 4.1 speaker system this chromecast has bluetooth so I connect to my sound system and it works really well 4k looks really good and hdr love watch TV from this chromecast

Chromecast is the best for 4K streaming. The hardware works without a hitch. No lag, no glitches, it just works. Highly recommended.

I love google products. The quality and ease of use is awesome, I have 2 nvidia shield TVs that are pretty good as well but googles new chromecast is great integration with YouTube Tv and you get to see a nice preview screen before you get to the actual live channel

Its a great chromcast replacement as it comes with a remote. I own 3 of these because they are so good. I have 1 in the living room another in my room and another in another room. This is honestly a great way to make a tv a smart tv.

I have some gripes...but don't let those deter you. This is a great way to stream TV and "cut the cable." Others have written about the good points...let me just pick some nits for a moment. The remote is round and slippery. It has slipped from my hands and crashed to the ground while on the treadmill more than a few times. The user interface (UI) is confusing at times. That's because you stream with different apps from different providers (eg Netflix, Prime, YouTube TV, Paramount, Disney, etc). Each one has a slightly different set of reactions to the buttons. Sometimes I can join a program in progress recorded on their "DVR" other times I can go to the beginning. I can't figure this out. The back arrow seems to have a mind of its own. Maybe that's due to the way different apps respond to it. Integration with the Google Home app should be improved. I believe it is impossible to add a device to a "room." If you want a device in a "room" it appears that you have to set it up that way from the beginning.

I've had the 1st gen Chromecast device and this new one is a much better experience. I like that there's a dedicated remote and seems more of a streaming box experience rather than just a casting device from previous generations. Works very well and easy to use.

Very easy to use, love upgrade from chromecast. remote works very well.

Originally drawn to this as the cheapest streamer I could find that supports Dolby Vision. It works fairly well save for some caveats: 1) For some reason can never get the CNN Go app to work (though this seems to be a common issue). 2) While it seems to be resolved now, whenever using the Vudu app, it would always play my purchases as HDX rather than UHD. It seems there was an update which now allows Dolby Vision and UHD. But you'll need to do your research to see what apps support Dolby Vision on this device. I didn't take this into consideration when purchasing, and so I need to mix use between this and my Vizio TV's smart app to get Dolby Vision content. 3) I've had issues here and there with flickering when outputting at 4k 60hz. In some instances it wouldn't enable Dolby Vision unless I converted to 4k 30hz. Some of these issues were fixed upgrading my HDMI cables. But it sometimes flickers when connected directly to my Yamaha rx-v4a receiver. So just be aware of this if you're looking for 60hz. Overall, if you need the best quality streamer, you'll probably want to revert to Roku Ultra (I used Roku before and it's safe and dependable) or Apple TV. But for most other uses, this works pretty well considering it's only $50.

We love how easy this is to use and that you can add apps as they are available (or discovered). We don't watch TV a lot, but there is definitely variety for streaming. We would definitely purchase again.

I have tried Roku , fire stick and now this and by far this is my favorite. It so user friendly. I love it so much I bought one for my sister.
