Customer Ratings & Reviews

Awesome. Make my 7 year old HDTV much more intuitive to use. Saved me a bundle to buy another TV and saved the planet as I only upgraded the "control" of the TV. I can cast from many apps; also can cast any web content from Chrome browser. Bestbuy delivery speed is remarkable: I ordered 10am at night, it arrived next day noon time.

Very easy to hook up to my wireless internet provider. I "cut the cord" and was able to save a ton of money and had a super clear TV picture using this device.

Never thought I would give up or change out my Roku, but this made me do so. Its sleek, modern, 4K & Dolby vision ready. But the main thing i love about it, is the incorporation of Google TV! It makes finding shows and keeping up SOOO easy the way it cross references all your streaming subscriptions on 1 screen is genius and convenient. And for $50 its an absolute steal for what it entails.

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.

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.

I recently upgraded to a 4K tv, and was still comfortable with the good ol Chromecast casting where I just cast videos onto the TV. I went ahead and make the upgrade to this new 4K Chromecast, and have been so satisfied so far. The controller works perfectly and the interface isn't clunky. Everything works well, and all my favorite streaming channels are on it too.

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!

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.

This does everything I need it to. Setup was very easy. It has access to just about every streaming service. The menus are clean, easy to understand, and navigate. There is 4K output, and it has a remote. Just what I was looking for. No complaints.

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.

I had the old chrome cast and it bit the dust. So i went out to get this. Love how it comes with a remote so you can control it instead of using your phone. Super easy to set up and use as well.

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!

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.

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.

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.

I got two of these for my den and guest room, set up was super easy and I'm surprised at how much it has to offer, one of the best streaming platforms I've had beside the shield, and it comes close to that.

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.

works well great as a chromecast. remote control is limited and limits some of the functions. similar device from tmobile ha better remote but overall easy to set up and easy to use. I have several streaming devices all have their good and bad features with this device ability to cast easily makes it a useful device. It's helpful to know what you may want to stream before deciding on any one device

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).

Our LG TV has chromecast built in. The problem is that TV OS is always slow. Extremely slow. The lag between switching apps, pausing, unpausing and casting is non existent when using a chromecast instead. When I cast kids shows to my tv, it powers on the TV and plays the content faster than I could get the TV to turn on and begin to load the first page. I would recommend using chromecast as your TVs default operating system every day of every week forever. Seriously.
