Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was torn between this and buying another fire stick. I ended up getting this because it supports 4K and has hbomax. I’ve been wanting to try it but I haven’t been able to find it on any other streaming devices. The downsides so far include, not having the ability to install a basic browser (which I could do on my fire stick) and the buttons on the remote are very sensitive. This probably isn’t a con for everyone. I just like to keep the remote in my bed. I’ll be watching something and my arm will nudge the remote and my show will stop. Overall decent. The hbo max support makes it worth it over the fire stick.

Best streaming device by a millions miles. Crazy easy to setup and discover content.

We had a google chromecast before, but it was difficult to access. Our TV is older, but in my opinion is still new enough. Once we got this little dream it changed our entire TV watching experience. We have all our streaming services together, and best yet you can use the voice option to search for a movie. If you have multiple streaming services you subscribe to, this is an amazing feature.

Easy to use, and lots of streaming channels. No setup is needed. Just need wifi

All shows seam 4K even if your TV is not a 4K or a smart TV.

This streamer check all the boxes, I think is the best right now.

Adds extensive apps to TVs. Easy to search for movies and programs.

A bit disappointing. Could not program power button! But remote is easier to handle with sideclick attached.

Awesome product. Let’s me stream from any platform

Apple TV doesn't come close Google TV is fantastic

One of the best purchases I have ever made. I can see all my apps, continue watching, and watchlist all in one space. It's really cut down on my time need to jump from app to app to find something to watch. There are apps which are not synced but a majority is and I'm sure eventually everyone will get on board.

I love it it does everything I want a device to do i would recommend it to anyone and everyone its better then roku

An excellent all around streaming device perfect for watching shows, movies, or consuming media.

Having a remote is nice. The tv menu is great, but those don't make up for lack of performance. You may not notice if it's your first Chromecast, but I'm switching back to my previous version. Cons: 1. On my previous Chromecast, 3rd gen, Ambient mode was always on when I changed the HDMI input. The new one turns off so when you change input, there is nothing there until you push the remote button. 2. Doesn't play nice with Echo mini. "Hey Google, play music from Spotify" - takes much longer, doesn't always react, doesn't always switch input. 3. The remote buttons are sensitive, meaning I needed to put it in my pocket a few times and I'm hitting buttons as I walk. (not a huge deal) 4. Voice input on the remote doesn't always open the selection I need 5. Casting from the phone is spotty I feel like Google needs a major software update.

Very happy with purchase. Will be buying more for other rooms.

Still one of the best products to date that i own from google. i have one for one of my tvs at the house and i just bought another one for the tv at my shop since Spectrum and Disney cant get it together.

I got a hold of a prototype snd it beats my Roku ultra.

can make about any old hd tv you have look brand new ! also can connect to surround systems/stereos which makes it cheaper than buying a sound bar or home theater system !

The Chromecast aggregates content from many apps onto the same screen, which is one of the main reasons I was interested in this device. It does that pretty well, but there are significant issues. It attempts to provide a "continue watching" list that is supposed to allow you to continue recently watched shows from various apps. Unfortunately, it's very buggy. Most shows from most apps simply don't show up. Some show up on my phone app, but not on the Chromecast and others show up on the Chromecast and not the phone app. I never use the phone app to watch anything, so these should all be showing up on Chromecast list. Not having a functioning "continue watching" really dimmenishes the device's potential. This is not the only major bug. Sometimes there is no audio after opening a new app. Restarting the device temporarily fixes the problem, but it reoccurs. It supports surround sound (Dolby Digital, Atmos) for most apps, but does not support surround sound from Hulu or Peacock. So if you use Hulu or Peacock and have a surround sound set up, you might prefer the Roku or Fire Stick. Hopefully, the problems with the device will eventually be fixed with software updates. Until then, I can't recommend this device.

Great for Netflix, as it offers 4K HDR and Dolby Atmos support. But doesn't support 4K in Vudu, no Atmos in Disney+, and a good chance it won't support HBO Max in 4K HDR and Atmos. Really wanted to like this, but with all products from Google, ended up being disappointed.
