Customer Ratings & Reviews

Its just easier in my opinion. The ui is simple, my 5 year old was able to figure out how to manuever within the app within 15-20 min. Can set up profiles for childern to use and restrict there apps. It just works.

Perfect for modern 4K TV’s. Colors seem more vivid than my PC. I connected it through my Xbox’s pass through port. Goggle Smart Home devices work seamlessly with this product. The remote is awesome. It even controls my old fashioned Sony surround sound receiver. I’ve been looking for a remote for that thing for years. This is the first remote to actually control my receiver. It doesn’t power it off or on but at least I can finally control the volume.

I purchased this because I found the price of purchasing a new Apple TV 4K a bit too much to swallow. I have many other Google/Nest products around my house and they’re all reliable. This no different. The picture is great and the UI is simple enough for my mom which is a huge relief for her IT guy (me). Also, the casting ability from nearly every streaming service is far superior to what Apple gives you, in my humble opinion.

So much better having a real interface and remote instead of just casting. Very smooth and works great.

Very easy to use, with a good remote and high quality image/video. Caveat: I have a fast internet connection. YMMV.

I've been using the original chromecast for years plus I have two chromecast audios and all have worked flawlessly. I purchased the new Chromecast with Google TV to have a remote to make using it easier to use. The installation was easy and using it is great. It's fast, video quality is very good. Unfortunately I don't have a 4k TV so I can't comment on that but on my 1080 P TV it's very good. It's a terrific value and highly recommended.

First, I love the fact chromecast finally has a remote with this release. It you have an android tv or is familiar with the interface, this will feel very comfortable. Even if you aren’t familiar with it, it’s still very intuitive. This will be my travel and projector media streamer now that it can finally be used in places like hotels and resorts. It also has almost every app you could want and your still able to cast to it.

Chromecast with Google TV is awesome. The device is small and should fit behind most tvs even if you have it mounted to the wall. The remote feels good in your hands and I like the fact that it programs the power button and volume button of your TV so you can eliminate a remote if all your using is this device. I've used Rokus, FireSticks and Nvidia Shields so I confidently recommend this device over the others specifically if you have a YoutubeTV subscription. It makes watching TV more seamless. Otherwise these devices are pretty similar in what they offer. The only notable differences IMO are price points and performance. So again, if you subscribe to YoutubeTV service then this device is the best choice for you.

This is the ONLY streaming device you will ever need. This device shows you all of your apps in one spot and combines them all together. If you search for movies, it will show across all the apps you have and where you can watch them. They even added Apple TV app recently. It works fantastic with Youtube TV too. This is better than the Comcast voice remote if you are using for Youtube TV. I cannot praise this device enough.

I have owned the Amazon FireTV and have enjoyed it over the years. In the past I have not liked the Chromecast but the new version of the Chrome Google tv has been excellent. The remote is much better and the interface is easy to use. I would recommend this product to anyone. FireTV is still good but if this is a sign of the future with Google, I will be using them more exclusively.

Simple to use, very simple to connect to your TV and activate. it even controls volume and power, potentially replacing any other remote. We used this for my mother in law who wanted simplicity, and we found it. She loves her TV and watches different apps, but she has simpler options like live TV which takes her directly to the YouTubeTV app with one click

The chromecast just got better! Easy to use interface, fast and efficient. All the great perks of the regular chromecast and a fresh new design. And it streams 4K? Sold. The remote is light and small but looks great. Only gripe was that it disconnected from my Wifi and could not figure out why I couldn’t stream some things because it did not alert me. Once I got on Wifi again the problem has not happened and is working great again.

I've had this Chromecast for about a year and a half at this point and it's been great! It was so great I got another one for my parents because they love as equally as I do. I do have one complaint though, the pad to control the Chromecast has this weird click sound now and it sounds like it gets stuck sometimes. Other than that, it's a fast, smart device!

This is inexpensive, easy to install, easy to use (and cast to TV), and I love the feel of the remote control. It's very solid and automatically paired with my TV and soundbar. I also have a Roku but it's remote couldn't pair with my soundbar which is an inconvenient bummer... so the Chromecast is better in that respect. I'm digging my Chromecast.

I love this thing, huge upgrade from the previous models, especially now that it has a remote. I bought it for my parents who were used to having an apple tv and I almost took it back with me haha The user interface is a huge upgrade and can compete with any other streaming device in the same price range. I enjoyed it to the point where I almost considered selling my PS4 just to buy one of these. Worth it.

High Recommend this new Chromecast. I've had previous models and while I continue to love and joy them, this new version is AMAZING. Setup was easy, Iove the clean interface and all the new features it has to offer. In addition, the remote has a clean and simple design and easy to navigate and control with. This is a MUST BUY if you are an existing Google Chromecast user or thinking of buying one.

I am very happy with this streaming device! I bought it for my LG CX. I was going to get the Roku Streaming Stick Plus, but the Chromecast with Google TV had additional features I wanted for my TV that the Roku did not have. I used a piece of Velcro on the back of the device to stick to my TV. I did not want it to dangle by the HDMI cable. I also have a 4K Apple TV, but I believe the Chromecast is much better.

I have been a Chromecast user since the 1st Gen. We currently use a combination of Gen 2/3 and Ultras. We had been using an Android box from Verizon on our Living Room TV and it's been awful. Each updates added more bloat and slowed down the system. This new gen is more similar to Android TV than a regular Chromecast. It comes with a remote, can download apps, supports accessories through the USB-C port, as long as you use the right adapter to power both the device and the accessories. The OS runs smooth. I haven't enountered any hiccups, even after installing multiple streaming apps. The old Verizon box would become less and less responsive the longer it ran without a reboot. This is not the case with this device so far. The included remote is a game changer. Not only do you use it to control the content you're watching, but it also has an IR blaster for controller your TV and sound system. You can pair your TV to the power and input button at the bottom of the remote, then pair your sound bar to the volume buttons on the side. I was able to eliminate my Logitech Harmony Hub and Remote setup since it became redundant to have both. I can now control all 3 devices with just this one simple tiny remote. This is a major improvement over the previous generations. I'm seriously considering replacing all my current chromecasts with this one.

The Chromecast with Google TV seems to be a very stable and useful device. I purchased this so that I could use You Tube to choose videos to practice guitar with. It's responsive, works well with Netflix and You Tube. The remote is a plus! It can be set up to control other items other then the Chromecast. Many streaming services are offered and setup is a breeze. I'm happy with the purchase and may order another for my shop TV.

Best Chromecast Ever I've been a fan of Chromecast ever since it first came out. The simplicity of just throwing something from your phone up on a screen without fussing with turning a box on or picking up a remote was fantastic. The built-in Chromecast (and only Chromecast) is what originally attracted me to Vizio's Smartcast TVs and I haven't owned a TV without it built in since. As nice as being able to control everything from your phone is, it does have its limits. The new Chromecast with Google (Android) TV keeps everything that was great about Chromecast and adds a fantastic UI with a really easy to use remote. Being able to speak my show or movie into the remote and go right into watching it without having to find whatever app has it is really great. The interface is super snappy and doesn't have a ton of intrusive ads like the Smartcast platform I've gotten used to over the years. It supports every major HDR format and Dolby Atmos, so in general if your system and the app supports it you get it. It also integrates with the CEC control of my Vizio TV really well and the remote has no issues automatically turning the TV on, off, or switching to the correct input. I did notice a couple of apps like Movies Anywhere and Vudu were limited to 1080p streaming, but hopefully that will be fixed with an update at some point in the future. There's also a bug with some Dolby Vision movies I own where the frame rate seems to stutter on my TV. But overall I'm just so pleased with what Google has done with this thing. I plan on putting one on my other TV as well eventually.
