Customer Ratings & Reviews

Setup was easy, and works seamlessly with a 5-year-old Samsung 4k TV that was starting to act up when the internal apps on the TV were being very slow. This product has brought a second life to a TV that was starting to die out. For $40, this has been well worth the purchase to save a TV that was starting to be really difficult to use.

From someone who has a roku, Fire Cube, Firestick, and mi box in one household, I can definitely say that I have really enjoyed the new Chromecast over the last couple months. I literally ordered it the same day it was announced because I was trying to find a replacement for my Firestick (due to its constant recurring issues with Youtube's audio and video being out of sync for me). Although I felt the ui mimicked Amazon's before making my purchase, I was able to see the differences between the two and found the chromecast to be more intuitive, especially with the idea of putting all your streaming services together to make it easier to find something new to watch. I will say, the only thing that I didn't like, which is expected at this price point, is not really being able to use a third party ethernet adapter. Google is selling their own version, of course, but it would be nice to be able to buy a cheaper version that could still get the job done. Despite that, I haven't had any concerns with buffering as I usually did with my mi box, which runs Android TV. Overall, I have really been enjoying this little streamer and it's a huge step in the right direction for Google. It also helps that I have been able to use my Google nest to control the tv too when I misplace the remote. Once they give the Stadia update, this Chromecast will truly be solid!

Actually love this feels like a mini telephone on the go at home. Can look up everything you already like to look up on your phone. And we love keeping it our living room. Simple enough for my 4 year old to use, I think the overall look is what i enjoy. Its an upgrade from the old plug ins. just plug in this one but also a remote which i most deff enjoy.

User interface is nice, but I don't understand how they could release this and not support multiple user profiles. Especially considering that my older Sony television with Android TV does support it. They need to fix this soon. Google devices typically impress me, but they really dropped the ball here. Other than that, it is well made and setup is easy if you already a Google Home user. Performance is pretty good.

A definite five out of five. We love the fact that we only need one remote to access all of our apps, as well as to control the volume. It's great to have one search hub for all movies and shows, instead of having to search within each individual platform, or on the internet. We love this product so much that we ended up purchasing some as Christmas gifts for our family.

Bought this for my mother in law, she's techno challenged, but can't blame her to much, she was using a firestick, then a roku. A few times a week I'd get a text that her Netflix show was interrupted when the stick would freeze then restart, and wanted to know why. I live over a 1000 miles, why would I know??!!! Eventually on a visit bought this, as the firestick was really hot and the Roku was thrown into a donate pile. The user interface is so old for both of those streaming devices it's insane. After several months now with the Chromecast with Google TV with heavy daily usage of all the apps, more then her firestick had available and definitely more than the apple tv she was considering, it's been very reliable and complaint free. Thank you Chromecast with Google TV being so user friendly and reliable, that anyone from age 1 month to 1000 years old can use it without texting me asking why did their "stories" freeze and shut off!

Our bedroom tv wasn’t a smart tv at all. The only way to watch anything was to buy something to hook into it. The original chromecast was rough to use with just your phone. But now that we bought this one it’s so much easier to use. Just like our Android tv downstairs! Having the remote is better than just using your phone.

Probably the best devise Google has made. Runs very smooth and will operate just about any TV it is connected too. I wish all of their products would work this easy and the flawless. I have actually purchased 2 of these devices and I almost prefer to use them over my TV apps that can be slow at time. Worth the money for sure.

Does what it's supposed to do. Easy and cheap way to make your smart TV even smarter. Great user interface, easy to use, all of the most popular apps all in one place. Only downside is the amount of storage.

This provides a very useful update to my older TV. It requires an HDMI input to the TV and a separate ac power outlet. It's easy to set up, and the remote, which can be voice activated, is convenient to use. I chose this streaming device over competing devices because it includes HBO max, but it does lack some other services, so check your individual preferences.

Love the ability to play a movie on my phone and chromastin it on the TV also the little remote is great easy to use and with voice control

The picture on my tv looks a lot better with this device. It was very easy to set up aand very easy to operate. However, the remote that came with the chromecast is junk. It started with the volume control. Sometimes it worked then sometimes it wouldn't. Now nothing on the remote works. I am fortunate that my tv remote controls everytging except the voice control. I have tried resetting the remote following google chromecast web site, but nothing helps. Other than the remote it works as advertised.

Easy to install, not complicated at all. It’s great to be able to use only 1 remote for the tv. I was able to add other apps and also to sync my headphones. This was a good purchase. I plan to buy 1 more for the tv in my spare bedroom

Works better than Roku and the 1st generation Chromecast. I bought so that I could properly use all of the features in the Peleton app (many aren't available in the Roku version of the app). Love the remote and the apps. Only downside is setting up was a pain (I have too many Google accounts in the household).

This is a great device if you like Google stuff and a Chromecast that you have a remote. Be advised not to put too many apps on it says there’s only 4 GB of storage so try to Chromecast most of your stuff and then you can use the remote. So lemon yourself or actual apps that are added to the device because the memory will get filled quickly.

My household has been a Roku house since we cancelled our Dish several years ago, but when Roku was having their dispute for HBO Max, we bought this Chromecast for one of the TVs in the house so we could watch HBO Max content. Being used to the Roku, I will say the Chromecast is different to use, though not in any good or bad way. It's just different. While the user experience is good, it's not going to make me replace the other Rokus in my house with a Chromecast. I do like the simple remote. I also like that the TV can be turned on/off and volume controlled with the Chromecast remote. That's something Roku lacks. I like the different layout of the apps on-screen and I like that shows we frequently watch show on the home screen with the current episode ready to be watched. I don't like that the YouTube app on Chromecast doesn't allow multiple users to be signed in so that profiles can be easily switched. If another user wants to login, the current user has to logout, making for a more inconvenient process. It's not a big deal since not much YouTube is watched in the room that the Chromecast is in. Overall, it's a good streaming device, but it won't turn the rest of the house away from the Roku.

One of the best streaming devices for your TV. Its great for watching any streaming service, and also to stream videogames from the cloud or a computer (like a ShieldTV), its fast and responsive. The only complain I could have is that you can´t have multiple accounts and change between all of them. Apart from that, this device is awesome and has a good price.

I am basing this review to compare it with my Amazon Firestick 4K. I bought this product because the Amazon Firestick is super slow in my opinion. Overall Chromecast feels much faster and I prefer the user interface on this device. It is great that it syncs with your google account also. So I highly recommend this one over the Amazon Firestick.

Good little streaming device but YouTube sound often lags and 4K quality isn't quite there on some apps. The worst part is there is no easy way to switch Google accounts on YouTube, YouTube TV or YouTube Music. The remote is responsible, super easy setup, Assistant is great as usual, the remote can control your soundbar or TV volume and that setup is also very easy. Overall, it's a good device

Love my new chromecast. I had an old one where you could only use your phone to cast and had to count on your phone being charged to watch tv. This new one is so much better with the remote. It works great and super easy to use. Need to download the app to set up. I bought at night from Best Buy online and received the next morning. Super fast delivery!
