I would recommend this to a friendGet the regular chromecast
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Your better off getting a regular 30 dollar chromecast to be honest this one doesn't connect with my samsung sound system and if u have a smart tv already no need to use the remote or apps
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGood product, not for me.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Chromecast is great, has some good features. The one feature I bought it for is... not so good. I have wireless security cameras that work with Google Home. They're compatible to be viewed through the Chromecast, after setting it up, I can only view 1 camera at a time and every 2 seconds the Pause/Play toggle button would show up and darken the screen. It served me no purpose to keep the Chromecast since I already have Smart TVs, so ended up returning.

Good but Not Great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the idea, but they don't have all the apps that the Firestick Does. SO I switched to it. I have everything else in my house Google and was really hoping this could be the final piece.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNumber two. Apple TV much better purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely get an Apple TV. It’s so much better. This would be your number 2, but not a close number 2.

Not happy with the product.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Within less than a month I couldn't control the remote I thought the battery was out. I changed the battery but it didn't resolve the issue. I took it back to Best buy to get an exchange and the exchange one when setting up it took about 2.5 hours trying to update software system. I had to take it back and The geek squad told me that it is okay I got home blocked in the TV and starts flash, blinking like when the TV doesn't have a good signal. And it keep disconnecting from the internet message popping up saying that something went wrong.

Posted .Hi united,
We appreciate your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the connection issue of your Chromecast with Google TV.
If your device is randomly disconnecting from your Wi-Fi network, we recommend performing a factory reset. Here's how you can do it:
With the Chromecast Voice Remote:
- In the upper right of your TV screen, select your profile and then Settings .
- Select System and then About and then Factory Reset.
From the Chromecast device:
- While the Chromecast is plugged into the TV and powered, press and hold the button on the back of the Chromecast. The LED will start blinking yellow.
- When the LED light turns solid white, release the button and the Chromecast will then reset.
We understand the poor experience you had with your Chromecast device and we would like to take a look and understand what's causing the issue. This will allow us to help you in the best way possible and improve your experience. Feel free to reach out to us here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/contactflow

Not very good!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own and have tried every streamer there is out there! From the the Apple tv to the fire tv, I like google products but this was not one! It feel like a rushed product HDR not good plus Vudu is at 1080p I know that is most likely an app problem. The picture is sub par and the remote is cheap just not a good streamer that I was hoping for and trust me i have tried every one around! Returned this and will stick with my favorite Apple tv!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendA Headache not worth the commitment.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product has potential, and Google TV is amazing software. The constant troubleshooting between controlling the actual TV and Google TV will turn you back to the OEM remote.

Don't buy if your wanting to watch 4k or ultra HD.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let's just start out saying this is a 4k device that should be able to display 4k on your 4k television. And it will frame by frame! If you like choppy playback this is for you! The only thing I did enjoy was the menu. Personally I switched to the built in Samsung app and no issues with displaying 4k content.

Good Product
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product! Google has finally made a streaming device which can keep up with the competition.
I would recommend this to a friendIT WORKS!!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything was easy to setup and it’s working flawlessly this is a very nice product.
I would recommend this to a friendChromeCast is better than nothing, but not by much
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works, most of the time. But it's buggy and its interface often hangs. The CBS app on it is a disaster, frequently stalling out. Its remote control is too small and too rounded to be held securely in your hand (but it fits into their tiny product packaging so that's what you get). Would I buy it again? It's a cheap stop-gap that has mostly replaced out old AppleTV 1080P but if Apple ever gets their act together and releases an up-to-date AppleTV at a reasonable price, our ChromeCast will go into the "shelfware" pile.

Posted .Hi Atlant,
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Sorry you ran into some performance issues with your Chromecast with Google TV. We’re here to help and we’d love to improve your experience.
Your Chromecast with Google TV was designed to provide you with a smooth experience. We recommend on trying out the troubleshooting steps below to see if the issue could be related to factors other than your Chromecast device:
- Ensure that your Chromecast is connected to your 5 GHz Wi-Fi network.
- Remove other connected devices on your Wi-Fi network and see if you will still encounter the same issue. Should you verify congestion, then we recommend contacting your internet service provider for resolution.
- We recommend a Wi-Fi network with 25 Mbps download speed that can ensure a smooth 4K experience.
- If it does not work, you may try restarting your Chromecast by going to Settings > System > Restart.
- If it's still unresolved, perform a factory reset on the Chromecast with Google TV.
a. While the Chromecast is plugged into the TV, hold down the button on the Chromecast device for at least 25 seconds or until the solid LED light turns into a flashing red light.
b. Once the LED light turns blinking white and the TV goes blank, release the button. The Chromecast device will begin the reboot sequence.
If you continue to experience issues even after following the steps we provided, then we may need to have a closer look at the issue to find out what may be causing it. Feel free to contact us so we can improve your experience here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp
