    Buying It for Someone Else Sold Me On It

    Truly plug and play. I set it up for someone with not just zero tech knowledge, but something freaky like NEGATIVE tech knowledge, and they were able to use it immediately, so it's really intuitive. Now planning to get one for myself.

    The best streaming device available. The remote is amazing. The best part is that the integrated search function works across multiple apps. Finally a tech company gets it right. The price is nice too. I bought several to replace all of our Rokus.

    Chromecast is the best for 4K streaming. The hardware works without a hitch. No lag, no glitches, it just works. Highly recommended.

    Out of all streaming service devices... This is by far the best one. Easy to use and super efficient. It connects with your Google account which makes things easier. With no doubt, I will definitely buy one for every TV I own.

    Sleek, Amazing UI, but mediocre storage and buggy!

    This very sleek device, with an amazing UI. I love google products. I’ve given this 3 stars bc 1) Initial setup is very buggy. I had to return the 1st one I bought bc remote was misbehaving during setup and afterwards. One click would cause it jump around 10 apps, etc. With both the 1st and 2nd one, it’s impossible to finish initial setup with phone, as it would Not let me sign in to my account using the phone, but do so using the remote. 2) Device only has about 4Gig of usable storage, which is very unacceptable for the era we’re are in. Even 32gig is small, but at least most other manufacturers use 32gig as minimum. Google should lead by example and sets standard. And, there’s no easy way to expand storage. Otherwise, this device will become my second favorite go to for streaming, only 2nd to my Apple TV 4K.

    Great product that works seamlessly w my other google smart accessories. The only downside is some apps don’t run as smoothly as they do on my Amazon firestick & the wifi cuts in and out on the google as well. Maybe i need A stronger router - I’m not sure. Other than that it’s a great media streamer & visually is very user friendly.

    You can't go wrong with a 4k chromecast. It plays all your favorite app and easily connects to your phone with cast. My only complaint is the lack of ram for better multi app handling.

    I'm upgrading from a Roku Ultra with this, it's quicker and easier to use than a Roku, plus I no longer need a Harmony remote to run everything.. it works well as a universal remote

    This is great for people who want to stream youtube tv and need 4k. There are less buttons and the volume is on the side of the remote, so it can be used somewhat intuitively in the dark even though it lacks backlighting.

    For my needs, this falls a bit short

    Bought this to replace a problematic MiBox S. The aux USB port on the MiBox was used with a powered hub to add video files and ethernet capability. Sadly the USB port no longer functions. In an attempt to duplicate this setup I bought this Chromecast with Google TV. A USB C hub with power pass through was necessary as well as a higher wattage power supply. To my chagrin this Chromecast will natively "see" only files formatted in FAT 32. This leaves out any media files over 4gb. I don’t understand why this is, The MiBox (when it was working) and the Dynalink, which I'm currently using on another set, both were able to access media formatted with NTFS. Not so with this device. Using streaming apps is unparalleled with the Chromecast. By contrast, using mirroring with an Android tablet playing a movie file showed sound synching problems. While this can be corrected in the TV settings, it's not an ideal situation. Am still trying to find a workaround that doesn't involve a NAS device.

    Chromecast with 4K!

    Bought this primarily to upgrade my original Chromecast to the 4K version and watch HBO Max. Setup via your Google Home app is super easy. If you have multiple streaming services, this device aggregates them all on your watching dashboard. This could be a plus or a minus. However, you still have the ability to select your services individually to view their specific content. Picture and sound are excellent, with supported 4K resolution with Dolby Atmos and Vision. Some negatives: There is no hardwire network ability, which limits you to whatever WiFi speed you have. While watching WW84, there was some freezing and glitching and audio dropouts, requiring a restart a couple times. Also, not too thrilled about another tiny remote that can mysteriously disappear. Instead of a new remote, Google should look at integrating this with your cell phone and any Google Home devices already installed in the home. The voice recognition on the remote is still not perfect, generating some unwanted results. Overall, if you're already invested in the Google ecosystem at home this makes a great addition for casting and streaming.

    I actually tripped over my Roku power cable and ripped the powercord in half. So, I decided to take a chance on this Chromecast with Google TV as a replacement for my Roku. After a day or two of getting used to the interface/navigation, I can honestly say, I'm glad I switched. Several highlights of this Chromecast with GoogleTV: - I love how easy it is for me to connect my Bluetooth headphones so I can listen to some of the shows in private. - I love being able to add android apps so that I can use apps like Locast and a browser (among other apps) that allow me to fill out my streaming options. - Now that Google has updated the device, I can now also access all my Stadia games and turn my TV into the main entertainment center. - Plus, the voice commands haven't failed me yet.
