Can easily cast from my phone now and has apps i like

It works great and the Google TV dashboard is nice. The only thing stopping this from being a 5 star is that it can lag at times.

At first I didn't really like it with a new UI similar to Amazon's firestick but they have an app only mode to only show you the apps you have downloaded. After I put it in this mode, I loved it. The UI is cleaner and simple. The device also runs snappier and less hot. I'm glad they had that option. And can compare to my Apple TV but definitely beats it for the price.

It is a great device I am enjoying it so much after I tried it I went back and I bought few more to give them as gifts.

This is by far the best way to watch streaming services on a non smart tv. I had an old tv that was sitting around and i didnt ever think i would be able to use it and make it like a smart tv but by getting the new google chromecast it made it so much easier. It is so easy to set up and would reccomend it to anyone.

Great streaming device! Easy to setup! Great picture and sound quality!

Installation was very easy as was the setup. We only ran into one issue when after installing the soundbar disconnected as if competing with the Chromecast hardware. Somehow the connection between both was made on the TV and now we can enjoy watching all our family favorites! My son prefers this device over the Firestick, although I think they work relatively the same.

Easy to install. Easy to use. Very fast. A very high quality product.

Me and my wife love the Chromecast. We bought it for our main TV and we loved that we can have both of our accounts on the same Chromecast. And the control it comes with was definitely a plus.

It works great. I can cast from my Desktop PC and work from my easy Chair.

I’m an avid Apple fan, but do use Android, PC, etc. I like this as a budget-friendly alternative to make a regular tv a smart tv. The OS is pretty simple and easy to navigate.

I’ve been growing bored of my Roku’s tired old home screen and features. This thing is quicker, gives better content recommendations, and is cheaper than my Roku Ultra was. Plus I can tell the assistant to adjust my thermostat with the remote. Nice.

The chromecast itself works about the same as earlier models. The user interface was workable. A nice touch was the ability to program the YouTube button to go to wither YouTube or YouTube TV. The interface was workable, without being outstanding. The remote was another matter. It's clunky and a bit hard to navigate with. It's small, especially for big hands, and it can use more buttons and features. They do have a remove control that's based in a mobile phone, but it doesn't work much better. One annoying trait of this device is that it goes offline if not used for a given length of time. The old Chromecasts would show a selection of background images, and that is what this version sould have done by default. Instead, it just goes black, so switching HDMI inputs to the one Chromecast is on will result in a blank screen and the television informing the user that there is no HDMI signal. Pushing a button on the remote brings up the interface after a few seconds. The YouTube interface seems inferior to the one on Roku. Also, Tubi does not have the My List function on the sidebar as it does on other streaming devices. Ther were a few other apps with similar problems. I returned it and went back to using Roku, which can still access YouTube TV through the regulare YouTube app. Perhaps the next version or an update will bring better functionality.

Ok. Long story short. I wanted to get away from the Amazon Ecosystem and after how Amazon wrongful treated me during their Prime Day event. After they would not honor their Prime Day price and coupons to replace a lost item, I said, bye. Anyways. The Chromecast with Android TV is pretty much a chromcast device where you can cast contents from your device to the screen. What's even better is now that you have Android TV built in so you don't need to use a mobile device or PC to watch youtube, Netflix, pandora, spotify, etc. You can do this all from Android TV. It's nice for the non-smart TVs or projectors out there. The interface is pretty simple. If you have an Android TV before, like Sony or Hensine (Did I spell that right?), Then you know how to operate this device. If you don't have one, think of it as a FireTV but without the heavy amazon interface. Very simple, gets to the point, and you can find what you want. This does have Google Assitance if you ever need it. I haven't used it yet. The only gripe I have is that it will not reconnect to your BT soundbar to headphones. You would need to reconnect them every time you power on the Chromecast. Power is through USB to a power adapter, so you won't be able to plug it into a USB port on your TV or projector. Overall a great alternative to the Amazon ecosystem.

Simply Amazing google device. Very snappy and remote fits great in hand

One of the best streaming devices out there. Dead simple to use and supports 4K and HDR. The apps are all linked to your Google account so if you're an Android user this is a breeze. Honestly one of the best Google products to date. I like the added remote with this model. I don't always want to use my phone.

This was not an easy task from the to begin with. I have a Pioneer receiver that has Chromecast built in and I had a lot of trouble getting it to work. As a matter of fact I did not get it to work on my receiver at all even talking to a tech so I did the next best thing, I went to Best Buy and bought the Chromecast and had it up and running in 5 minutes.

overall runs very smoothly. the setup through the home app i felt was a little rough and could be smoother. finding apps outside of the default apps was a little difficult but once you know what your doing the device is very smooth compared to firesticks and rokus that i have in the house as well.

This is the 2nd ChromeCast I've purchased (1st cast was the 3rd gen in black) and still happy with it. My roommates and I can easily access our streaming services and Spotify.

I loved this device. It gets both direct streaming and the chromecast functionality on the same device. I was able to get rid of and old chromecast and relocate my Roku to another TV. The only issue I found was that it doesn't go straight to it when I turn it on, even with the right settings on both the device and my TV. When I press the home button, then it makes the TV to change to it's HDMI input. Navigation, picture and sound are great and apps content is more than enough.
