Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my first dedicated streaming device. I thought about a Roku and the original Chromecast, but like the idea of having the Android TV experience. All, in all, I'm happy with the performance and picture quality. While Google TV links with some streaming sites (like Netflix), it doesn't with others (like MotorTrend). What that leaves me with is an incomplete previously watched list. Not a huge deal, but it sure would be nice. The Google TV doesn't care about which family member is using it. It seems like every app I go into wants to know who's watching. If that was set in Google TV, it could tell the sister sites who is watching. It would also be nice to select multiple users so you can get a combined playlist. Just sayn' I had a little issue with the CEC feature. I typically watch TV on my cable box and Google TV would try to (well did) take over the sound going to my soundbar. Very strange. Would I recommend this to a friend. Yes, although they would likely be a Google fanboy and good with electronics. That goes without saying for most streaming devices so Google TV isn't alone.

Easy to set up and easy to use, good price too! Good quality!

I have both a Chromecast 4k device (for one week) and a Google TV (two Months). Pleased with both, especially since I am a Google/Nest home with Android cellphones. Had Roku TV's and devices for years before making this switch. Here is the difference between Roku and Google TV devices. Google is faster with more customizable. Roku is stable and consistent. Kinda like the difference between iPhone/IOS and Android phones. Both are great just depends what you value the most. If you want an experience that is straight forward, a bit walled off and works consistently with no fuss go with Roku. If you want fast, deep integration with other platforms and the ability to fully customize your experience and willing to put up with some technical difficulties occasionally then go for Google TV.

So far the Chromecast with Google TV is my favorite interface and streaming device. It's very convenient and supports all my favorite apps. Even streams 4K content at a very affordable price.

Good product. Well priced. Aggregating content across your streaming services is worth it. Fast in performance, easy to switch between channels . Voice commands. Easy to setup and use. Switching off does not mean power off.

I have a tv with Roku built in and I opt to use my chromecast because I prefer the interface as well as having my google account attached. So if I’m away from the tv and come across something I want to watch later, I can add it to my google watchlist and it will be waiting for me on the Home Screen when I get home. The remote does enough and looks nice. (Roku remotes look like toys and I don’t like the loud clicky buttons) The Google tv app can be used as a remote for when you sit down and realize the remotes over on the other side of the room.

No problems so far. Happy with the purchase. Would recommend it.

user-friendly interface and Google Assistant integration make it easy to navigate and find content. A must-have for anyone looking to upgrade their streaming experience!

Great feature on the google chrome a lot of free apps plus the built in casting they stepped up from the original chrome cast I was a fire stick fan but the chrome cast beats the fire stick

I recently switched to Google Chromecast with Google TV from the 2020 version of the Roku ultra and I must admit Google has done a great job with this new version of Chromecast. The UI is much more modern and intuitive very snappy and is a refreshing experience versus the age-old UI from Roku. I have been using Roku devices since their inception but am I'm fully ingrained within the Google ecosystem. I decided to make a switch once Roku pulled YouTube TV and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The Google Assistant integration is excellent the picture quality is much better than what the Roku ultra was providing with Dolby vision turned on. If you make the switch from Roku I am sure you will be just as happy as I am!

Excellent product, so happy that I purchased it. It was much less expensive than buying a new Smart TV. Now I have turned my old tv into a Smart TV with much better picture quality. Get one, you won't refret it.

This Chromecast device is awesome. It's easy to set up and learn how to use. The interface is super easy to navigate. So easy, in fact, that I eventually want to purchase another unit, and would gladly buy it as a gift.

I believe I have owned every brand of digital media streamer or player. So far this is the best I've used. Fast, simple to setup and use - love the remote and it integrated well with our older TV.

The BEST that money can buy! I bought this for many reasons: old Smart TV could no longer be updated, added to the Google Smart Home and price. It’s fast, easy to use... the list can go on and on. DEFINITELY worth investing!

This has made our tv viewing so much easier! It’s fast, easy to use and the remote is a perfect fit for my hand. I still can’t tell if the plug has to be plugged in all the time. That wasn’t very clear.

Excellent value and ease of use. Great if you're in the Android ecosystem. I just wish it has more storage to fit all my apps and games.

We bought this to use instead of our Samsung Smart TV "Tizen" interface. Much faster and smoother than the Samsung UI and it makes it easier/faster to get to the shows we want to watch.

I've been waiting to be able to replace my Roku for years, I always thought the rokus UI was behind and the Google UI here is exactly what I wanted. The remote is small and easy to pair with my TV and soundbar as well

These are my preferred method of streaming media to the TV's in my house. I have these fitted in every room, and it makes streaming content an absolute breeze. The remote is great, my kids are able to navigate to their content easily. I typically cast from my phone, but both options are fantastic. The option to program the remote to also work on the TV itself as well as a soundbar leaves me with no complaints what so ever.

I bought this because my Samsung tv is a few years old, I couldn’t use a lot of streaming apps anymore, and my prime video always crashed. This is fast, smooth, and easy to navigate.
