    A great alternative to Fire TV

    Overall I'm pleased with it after swapping out my FireTV 4k for this, albeit with a couple of small gripes. It's slightly underpowered for the task and will likely show age fast. For the time being it does everything it should do, but it feels disposable. I mainly purchased this for the integration with Google systems, since I tossed out all my Amazon gadgets and swapped them for Google ones for the improved features. I bought two of these, one for a 4K TV and one for an HDTV. It works on the 1080p screen but there's no option for adjusting overscan so it cuts off the edges in some menus. I wouldn't recommend it for Android games since the app storage capacity is lacking, but I don't use it for that. It has enough room for all my media apps but if I did more than that I'd have to add an external drive. A bit annoying, but at least it's an option. I also wish it was available in black. Everything else about it has been vastly superior to the FireTV. Better integration, better app selection, and no annoying advertisements.

    Voice works specifically with YouTube TV

    As streaming devices go, this product is as good as other similar devices. The main reason I bought it is to use with my YouTube TV subscription. It's the only one where the voice control works within YouTube TV. That is with other devices the voice control works on a global level, not within the YouTube TV programing specifically.

    I have several Rokus for the house but wanted to try this. I installed it on my main TV and I love it. I'm primarily a Google and Android guy and this makes it so easy to pick shows from YouTube TV or YouTube or Netflix etc. It's a better interface for me vs Roku.

    Love this! Perfect for Chromecast enthusiasts. For anybody that doesn’t like to use their phone as a remote, this is what you need. Android TV is so much better than Roku it’s insane. There is literally no reason to pick Roku over this device. You won’t be sorry

    I like the upgrade to the remote control aspect. it has been easy to connect the phone to the tv. i had not tried the new one with my laptop. I had the old version which was connected. someone commented the new might not pick up from a laptop. if that is true that would definitely be a negative. overall i am very happy with it.

    Was considering buying a new smart TV because our current LG isn't receiving updates anymore and isn't compatible with many of the new streaming services. This was the perfect fix and I didn't have to buy a new TV. Really easy to use! Would purchase again!

    I just switched from a 1st gen fire tv cube and it has been great. The chromecast is much more reactive than my fire tv cube and is much lighter on advertisements on the home screen. Casting also works better (as expected)

    Was not sure what to expect, but very happy with the Chromecast with Google TV. Very easy to set up and the user interface is easy to use. Added the various streaming services and now easy to see and search our YouTube TV, Disney+, Discovery+ and others.

    I love this product. This is the best interface for YouTube TV integration. It is nice to use on my Roku TV so I don't use the Roku TV part of the TV . Maybe I should get a Samsung TV to use this on too. The remote curve sucks and it's difficult to hold at times.

    Took a bit of getting used to compared to the original chrome cast I have, but this is amazing once you have it all set up! The ability to have all my subscriptions in one spot makes life easier. I use mine everyday for shows and kids movies

    I’ve been using the new Chromecast with Google TV for a few months now. The platform is slick, the google assistant is great, and the price point is compelling. Some cons I’ve experienced: the platform hasn’t worked out all the bugs just yet, with Hulu occasionally crashing when selecting ads. Once the kinks are worked out, this might be my favorite!

    The fit, finish, and ease of use is amazing. It does seem to slow down a bit at time similar to my fire stick 4k. I do not have loads of apps on it only what came with it. It could have a longer chord since it is behind my flat screen tv and if I need to disconnect it for any reason it is a challenge.

    A nearly perfect streaming device. Google's often buggy Bluetooth support in Android causes issues with this device, too. Bluetooth connected headphones and speakers might disconnect or cause odd issues in some apps. Highly recommended if you don't use Bluetooth but, even if you do, it's a great device; just be alert for unexpected issues.

    Has its quirks, but it's great, it easily allows you to access multiple streaming services. The quirks - it won't always update its continue watching list properly from all streaming services, so your list might show a few program's you've already fully watched
