Customer Ratings & Reviews

Could not wait to buy this (I still have my original Google TV box, which worked the same magic, with a set-top box). This makes it so easy to find everything in one place, view instantly, etc. And it means I don't have to activate my Smart TV options, which had security issues I didn't want to take. If you can find a great TV without Smart technology, this resolves that for you at a great price.

I had the old chrome cast and it bit the dust. So i went out to get this. Love how it comes with a remote so you can control it instead of using your phone. Super easy to set up and use as well.

I am basing this review to compare it with my Amazon Firestick 4K. I bought this product because the Amazon Firestick is super slow in my opinion. Overall Chromecast feels much faster and I prefer the user interface on this device. It is great that it syncs with your google account also. So I highly recommend this one over the Amazon Firestick.

Easy install. Works as advertised. It made my older Sony TV "smart" again as I am now able to access Google play store and download streaming apps (e.g., Amazon Prime, Acorn tv). The remote is a nice touch - I don't need to use the massive tv remote to get to the app menu. Google TV presents suggested shows from all my services which makes scanning for entertainment easier.

Bought this for my mother in law, she's techno challenged, but can't blame her to much, she was using a firestick, then a roku. A few times a week I'd get a text that her Netflix show was interrupted when the stick would freeze then restart, and wanted to know why. I live over a 1000 miles, why would I know??!!! Eventually on a visit bought this, as the firestick was really hot and the Roku was thrown into a donate pile. The user interface is so old for both of those streaming devices it's insane. After several months now with the Chromecast with Google TV with heavy daily usage of all the apps, more then her firestick had available and definitely more than the apple tv she was considering, it's been very reliable and complaint free. Thank you Chromecast with Google TV being so user friendly and reliable, that anyone from age 1 month to 1000 years old can use it without texting me asking why did their "stories" freeze and shut off!

I got two of these for my den and guest room, set up was super easy and I'm surprised at how much it has to offer, one of the best streaming platforms I've had beside the shield, and it comes close to that.

I replaced my old Chromecast device with this Chromecast with Google TV. This is a significantly different device and a very good one. The Chromecast was easy to set up and customize. The remote is quick and snappy. It includes a Netflix and a YouTube button but I seldom use those. Once you are in the system, maneuvering around is easy and the streaming channels are readily accessible.

This is the best google Chromecast to date. Its fast has great little remote which includes one touch YouTube button, one touch Netflix button and dedicated google button. All the latest channels as well such as HBOMAX, STARZ, Disney +, Hulu, Prime Video and so many more. Even gives you suggestions based on your selections. Works with HD, FHD, and 4k televisions. Highly recommended.

Awesome. Make my 7 year old HDTV much more intuitive to use. Saved me a bundle to buy another TV and saved the planet as I only upgraded the "control" of the TV. I can cast from many apps; also can cast any web content from Chrome browser. Bestbuy delivery speed is remarkable: I ordered 10am at night, it arrived next day noon time.

Setup was easy, and works seamlessly with a 5-year-old Samsung 4k TV that was starting to act up when the internal apps on the TV were being very slow. This product has brought a second life to a TV that was starting to die out. For $40, this has been well worth the purchase to save a TV that was starting to be really difficult to use.

I recently upgraded to a 4K tv, and was still comfortable with the good ol Chromecast casting where I just cast videos onto the TV. I went ahead and make the upgrade to this new 4K Chromecast, and have been so satisfied so far. The controller works perfectly and the interface isn't clunky. Everything works well, and all my favorite streaming channels are on it too.

Never thought I would give up or change out my Roku, but this made me do so. Its sleek, modern, 4K & Dolby vision ready. But the main thing i love about it, is the incorporation of Google TV! It makes finding shows and keeping up SOOO easy the way it cross references all your streaming subscriptions on 1 screen is genius and convenient. And for $50 its an absolute steal for what it entails.

If you're reading this, don't buy this version because a new one is expected to come out this year. However, my review of this device as it stands is 4 stars. Positives - Excellent price - The UI gives you a feed of content you may like, from multiple streaming services - Live TV included - Google assistant is helpful (better than Roku) - Speak shows and passwords instead of typing them - Multiple user profiles (unlike Roku) - Some people may find the UI a bit messy. I find it helpful because I don't always need to open an app to find what I want to watch. Less jumping in and out of apps. Negatives - Sometimes a bit slower loading things (it's getting old and new model is expected this year 2024) - The UI is not as snappy and smooth as a $100 Roku or Apple TV

I love the look, ease of use, setup, and features that this upgrade offers. I was hesitant at first but I am extremely satisfied with this purchase.

User interface is nice, but I don't understand how they could release this and not support multiple user profiles. Especially considering that my older Sony television with Android TV does support it. They need to fix this soon. Google devices typically impress me, but they really dropped the ball here. Other than that, it is well made and setup is easy if you already a Google Home user. Performance is pretty good.

This does everything I need it to. Setup was very easy. It has access to just about every streaming service. The menus are clean, easy to understand, and navigate. There is 4K output, and it has a remote. Just what I was looking for. No complaints.

Actually love this feels like a mini telephone on the go at home. Can look up everything you already like to look up on your phone. And we love keeping it our living room. Simple enough for my 4 year old to use, I think the overall look is what i enjoy. Its an upgrade from the old plug ins. just plug in this one but also a remote which i most deff enjoy.

Our bedroom tv wasn’t a smart tv at all. The only way to watch anything was to buy something to hook into it. The original chromecast was rough to use with just your phone. But now that we bought this one it’s so much easier to use. Just like our Android tv downstairs! Having the remote is better than just using your phone.

Probably the best devise Google has made. Runs very smooth and will operate just about any TV it is connected too. I wish all of their products would work this easy and the flawless. I have actually purchased 2 of these devices and I almost prefer to use them over my TV apps that can be slow at time. Worth the money for sure.

From someone who has a roku, Fire Cube, Firestick, and mi box in one household, I can definitely say that I have really enjoyed the new Chromecast over the last couple months. I literally ordered it the same day it was announced because I was trying to find a replacement for my Firestick (due to its constant recurring issues with Youtube's audio and video being out of sync for me). Although I felt the ui mimicked Amazon's before making my purchase, I was able to see the differences between the two and found the chromecast to be more intuitive, especially with the idea of putting all your streaming services together to make it easier to find something new to watch. I will say, the only thing that I didn't like, which is expected at this price point, is not really being able to use a third party ethernet adapter. Google is selling their own version, of course, but it would be nice to be able to buy a cheaper version that could still get the job done. Despite that, I haven't had any concerns with buffering as I usually did with my mi box, which runs Android TV. Overall, I have really been enjoying this little streamer and it's a huge step in the right direction for Google. It also helps that I have been able to use my Google nest to control the tv too when I misplace the remote. Once they give the Stadia update, this Chromecast will truly be solid!
