Customer Ratings & Reviews

Returned. Not an upgrade over the Firestick. No Apple TV.

Could not connect to intrrnet. Repeatedly error messages.

Android box is better than this was a waste of money

Terrible product. I don’t know why I left AppleTV.

Stopped working 2 days after return period. Imagine that.

Would not connect to my internet. Very disappointed

Roku is much simpler to use. Not as snappy or polished as the Roku. Freezes at times. Apps are buggy. Especially the hulu app.

I love the chrome cast plug in. All my streaming channels in one place and options for others easily accessible. The picture quality is excellent. Set up is easy. It comes with news for local stations and I also bought an antenna for current shows on locals. (Like tonight show or AGT) so I will be getting rid of cable now.

Ads play on youtube and youtube kids even with a premium account. Known issue i guess. Remote goes unresponsive and needs to be reset. Sluggish interface. Riddled with ads for services i dont want. Dont bother. Get a roku or splurge on an apple tv. The enclosed power adapter is terrible and protrudes from the wall straight out. What an eyesore.

So here is the deal, I have a Chromecast, Roku, Firestick, and an Apple TV. In the past, I have gone the route of Roku based on the design and the options it offers. Love the Roku stick with the control it has. Google's Chromecast has always been my backup to anything Roku can't do since the simplicity of Google makes it very nice. The New product is fantastic and competes with Roku on every level. The interface could use some more simplicity but when you talk about features it goes head to head: Integration with the existing stereo system is flawless, it detects different controls and the current system and pairs them with the control. The search actually goes into the apps integrated with Google (key here is integrated) and finds the content you want to see on voice command. The search is integrated with an assistant so I don't have type forever whenever I am searching. While Roku has this, it forces you back into the main screen and doesn't really sync with your apps as Google does. It supports other apps like Plex which can be installed and has many more integration options with other apps that the Roku ecosystem doesn't have. I am the plus side if you ever need to cast something that's not in the store you can simply use the native Chromecast to switch the content on the display. If you are a Googler the native integration with Google Nest Audio is pretty sweet. still learning to use that but it can pair to Nest Audio speakers. It's still a roughly nice size and not too bulky for these tight areas where you want to hide it. The only downside is that it can't be powered by all USB ports. My current projector could not power it through USB since the port didn't produce enough power so keep that in mind. Overall because of the Casting natively built-in I am looking to converting my TV's over to this interface by buying a Chromecast with Google TV

Beyond impressed with the Chromecast w/GoogleTV. We have been using a Nvidia Shield and it was doing fine, but it was overkill for what we were using it for. We decided to give this unit a try and the family has been blown away. Easy to setup, once there, easy to use and can control all the items I need it to. Also bought the Ethernet adapter for a more secure connection. I have been recommending this to everyone and anyone that is ready to "cut the cord"! Absolutely love!!!!

Upgraded to this new chromecast with some doubt. It turned out to be the best experience. I have chromecast->soundbar->projector->122 inch config. This new chromecast's remote can control both project and soundbar. No longer need to have multiple remotes. Setup is super simple.

ok, I just replaced my 2 Roku sticks with these and all I can say is that this is what the Streaming experience on a TV should have been like all along. While there is something to be said for the simplicity of just seeing your apps like on Roku, once you start watching too many things on too many services it becomes too difficult to keep track of. Also, if you have YoutubeTV for your live TV then this is a must. It actually puts the live guide and any new shows in your DVR on display!! Plus it has continue watching from your different apps and a watchlist that you can add anything to. The interface is also super fast. The voice control is also excellent, and not just for searches. You can actually say "play the rams game" and it will open whatever app you have and start playing without you having to search for it and then start it. Also, any command that you can speak into the remote you can also use a google smart speaker to do so if you're busy in the kitchen and you don't have the remote you can still switch shows, pause, rewind, raise the volume, etc. without the remote. I have it plugged into my Yamaha Receiver and it seamlessly connected and turns everything on and off. OK, here's my only complaint. I'm not a huge fan of the volume buttons being on the side of the remote but I can live with it if they are larger and easy to feel like on the Roku remotes. These buttons are totally flush which makes them look good but they are hard to feel and difficult to make quick adjustments with. I wish Google had made the remote just a little larger and put a volume rocker or up and down buttons on top.

I love chromecast. One of the best ways to streaming content. Easy to navigate. Have been using it for years. This one will be gifted to a co-worker.

My four year old great nephew likes to watch tv in bed. He enjoys streaming his favorite shows from his iPad, but the tv is not a Smart tv. This Chromecast with Google is exactly what we needed. It was easy to install, has a voice controlled remote, and was on sale. And..a four year old has already learned how to use it.

I was surprised to see that the 4k Roku device I bought produced an inferior picture with poor color quality. Google's Chromecast 4K, however, produced an excellent picture with great color. It also has a robust set of menu features, noticeable Dolby Vision picture capabilities, (TV must be have Dolby Vision functionality), and all the benefits of Google. It's wifi anenna is strong and picked up a weaker signal easily when my Sony X series Google TV couldnt. Google Chromecast is a must have for LG, and Samsung, tvs and works well as a backup for Sony TVs when they cant grab your wifi signal. Get this device!

Simple - easy to use and set up. Log into all your accounts and the remote acts as a universal remote (if you have hdmi control set up) Super light and thin so sits easily behind OLED wall mounted tv.

I have several other streamers, but this may be the best. It is easy to set up, and responds almost instantly to inputs. App selection is easy, and the selection is huge. It supports all HD formats, including Dolby Vision, which is unusual. I was concerned about the possibility of dongle damage to the HDMI connection, but it is so lightweight that it puts very little pressure on it. I know of nothing else, regardless of price, that performs as well. The remote is featherweight, and the buttons need only gentle pressure. One awkward bit: getting the battery cover off of the remote is difficult. Kudos to Best Buy. The price was better than any eBay source, and delivery was very quick: I ordered it on Wednesday afternoon and got it on Thursday morning.

Works great with my internet provider. No issues streaming any of the services and remote is easy to use.

Lets keep this short. Pros : great price, GoogleTV (UI) is awesome, Google assistant is the very best on any streaming device. remote with IR and HDMI-CEC is great. lots on options in the settings. Cons : There are lots of empty spaces in certain menus like the search, its going to be exhausting on your hand and sanity scrolling through everything, especially if you have more then 2 or 3 services connected. You could always use the voice search but some people like to visually see things(like me) instead of plucking their brain for the answer. The UI is a bit slower then I expected, I came from a Roku stick+. Only 1 account can be made(right now). This chromecast is great don't get me wrong especially for its price and what it offers but if Google came out with another one that had better hardware that was faster and had more memory and a better remote I would buy that for more money. But its priced just right for just the right amount of features. I'm hoping the software gets updated soon to make it a more enjoyable experience.
