Customer Ratings & Reviews

I just purchased one a few days ago and now I'm going to get another because it does everything that my Amazon fire stick and my Roku does only better. For example, I purchased two Firesticks just so I could play all my digital movies and TV shows I have on my WD Cloud Drive (NAS drive) because it was the only thing I knew of at the time that would display the subtitles and CC on them using the VLC app. Well I found out quickly that there were lots of flaws to the app that was irritating the heck out of me. Like if you played a title that started with any letter, say a "B" (I look at the drive displayed as folders) as soon as you hit stop, it would suddenly show that title in the letter "O" spot instead of "B". Not only that but would also change the title to seemingly random characters/letters/numbers (didn't actually change the file name, only the listing in it's own display). Well the Chromecast with Google TV, VLC app, didn't do this at all. On top of that, I have all the other stuff/apps and more, that the other 2 had as well. I will be hooking a wireless keyboard and mouse up to it in a few days. I'm sold it's just the best of all of them combined and more.

I have owned Fire TV 4k stick for a long time. The sound is always way off on Fire TV. I have tried all sorts of options, but it never is in sync, not even close. If you fix it for one steaming, it messes up for another. I saw lot of good reviews and thought of trying Chromecast. Also I am an android user and have YouTube TV account, so it seemed like a natural fit. Overall I am so happy with Chromecast. The menu is simple and yet effective. The suggestions I get are very much aligned to my taste. The remote is super fast. I like the remote, although I would have liked it to be little bigger, little too small for a average user hand. All is not good with Chromecast yet, and may be future firmware release may fix some of the issues - Like for ex- even though I have updated my services I still get recommendations from services I have deselected. For ex, I do not have Disney+ and have deselected it, I still see recommendation for Disney+ movies. I guess google algorithm gives priority to your taste and recommends movies. Also sometime I see a movie listed as available on YouTube TV but when you click on it, it is available on some other streaming service. So there are some glitches that are annoying, however not enough to not own this product and recommend. It’s a keeper.

The Gen2 ChromeCast is awesome for its price. The quality makes it amazing, makes streaming apps way more easier to cast on.

Great streamer and easy to use. Able to cast from multiple devices.

Easy, awesome, full 4k hdr. Setup is a breeze and casting is easy.

I love this streamer. I've had everything out there, recently tried the Tivo device (3 times, all horrible) since I have Tivo throughout the house. I get HBO Max with my cell plan but it wouldn't run on Tivo. This device has every service I need and keeps it all in one place. It's a little slow to connect when switching over to it but overall I'm happy with it.

Best thing on the market. We have tried roku and fire stick and hate them. Other than the Hulu app sucks we have had zero issues with this streaming device. Also its nice to be able to cast to the device without any issues.

Hope Google is reading this: The controller is amazing and the fact you put an input selector on it makes it even better. Chromecast is so much more attractive to consumers regardless of which ecosystem you're in when it has a remote that will control your TV critical functions so you never need the TV remote.

Love it, super fast, everything loud super fast, 4k looks amazing.

Google Chromecast, an amazing unit! This is so EASY. Just click the button, tell it the movie you want! It searches and finds the movie! No more trying to remember if the show is on Netflix, Prime, Disney, etc. This unit was pretty easy to set up. Just enter your user name and password one time, and then it is very easy! Well worth the money!

Updated to this unit from a earlier 1080 P version that kept overheating and shutting down. This unit seems to be much better and we’ve been able to watch without any problems at all. It seems like another good updated model from Google. I happened to purchase the last one on the shelf at my local Best Buy so my assumption is that they are doing well.

I like very much the integration of all apps in the main screen so you don't have to keep opening apps to load content. Very easy to use, however I have to admit that the ergonomics/grip of the remote is not the better. It easily slides out of my hand and keeps turning as I'm holding it which sometimes is annoying and makes your hand tired from holding it strong, specially during configuration or when browsing, which is when you hold the remote for longer periods of time.

This is by far my favorite hub for all my entertainment apps. It’s really snappy, integrates well into my google home ecosystem (which is extensive) and has a price you can’t argue with. Only issue at this point is the lack of a Apple TV app. I have a huge movie collection on iTunes and they way you access them currently is trash. Other than that, it’s awesome!

Would highly recommend this device to anyone who is cutting the cable TV cord and going to streaming TV. Super simple to set up. Actually, my 80+ year old mother is using it with ease on the 1st day. Winning....

Nice product, smooth functions, and seamless set-up. Could even control auxiliary speakers connected to monitor! Price is a bit high compared to amazon fire stick 4K; otherwise great product. Couldn’t install 3rd party apps, so I am choosing amazon; but i loved the use of this product.

Highly recommend buying this. First of all it’s $50 and it has a great App selection. I have an Apple TV 4K and like using the chrome cast with Google TV more. You can even download an app that lets you airplay to this Chromecast for those who have an iPad or iPhone. I’m going to sell my Apple TV 4K and get a few more of these Chromecasts with Google TV.

This product is nice for portability and remote if just using installed apps. Autosetup failed 5 times before i gave up and did manually. Buggy with BT headphones could not get it to connect after pairing tried 5 times, opencoms, never had issue connecting these to anything. Boseflex connected fine so did keyboard. Ineternet drop many times when trying to cast my screen from zfold3, the casting would constantly drop. Googlehome would show it as off even thow it was on. Never had issues with this on original chromecast. Casting apps from phone slow and glitchy. Not sure if new update has a bugs, but this is simply toomany bugs at once. If not casting from phone or using BT headphones it will prob be fine for most. Very portable stable with built in apps and nice remote. But very lacking and buggy with extended functions. Will be returning. I think i may just shell out the money for Shield TV not as portable but works flawlessy.

I sold my Apple TV to move to this and I've been very happy with it. The interface is straight forward and the apps are smooth and work well. I use rabbit ears with the HDHomerun app, Hulu, Prime, Netflix, and a bunch of different cable apps like Discovery. Everything works very well. My ONLY gripe so far is that entering passwords via voice isn't possible.

great replacement for smart tvs that have slowed down with their built in software also makes it easy to connect any device i wanna chromecast from!

Easy to install/setup the GoogleTV dongle. If you've got a television in an area that doesn't have a cable connection but you have wireless internet, this is a good/versatile product to provide video options.
