Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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

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.

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!

I have an old Vizio tv in the living room with no smart functionality and with this dongle I am finally able to not only cast things to it but get full apps and use them with ease. I primarily use Plex and YouTube and this device handles it perfectly. The price was perfect too.

If you're reading this, don't buy this version because a new one is expected to come out this year. However, my review of this device as it stands is 4 stars. Positives - Excellent price - The UI gives you a feed of content you may like, from multiple streaming services - Live TV included - Google assistant is helpful (better than Roku) - Speak shows and passwords instead of typing them - Multiple user profiles (unlike Roku) - Some people may find the UI a bit messy. I find it helpful because I don't always need to open an app to find what I want to watch. Less jumping in and out of apps. Negatives - Sometimes a bit slower loading things (it's getting old and new model is expected this year 2024) - The UI is not as snappy and smooth as a $100 Roku or Apple TV

A must-have for anyone who's embedded in the Google ecosystem and/or wants a simple and intuitive way to get to content. The simple navigation plus class-leading voice controls with Google Assistant set this apart. Additionally, it being a chromecast means you can cast any Cast-compatible app, even if you don't have it installed on your TV.

I really like the features and the intuitive remote. It makes navigating to what i want to watch easy. Also the ability to change the functionalities of the remote to control your tv easily is excellent.

I love the look, ease of use, setup, and features that this upgrade offers. I was hesitant at first but I am extremely satisfied with this purchase.

Chromecast with Google TV overall is fantastic. Simple to setup and connect to all streaming services I subscribe to. Browsing all streaming services is extremely easy as shows/movies all show w/o having to open each service. Additionally, I can use the Android TV app on my iPhone as a remote. The major issue I have with GoogleTV is the lack of an iOS app to couple with the GoogleTV service. Hopefully there is something in development

The remote is a little small for my hands is about the only complaint. This is a huge upgrade from the old chromecast devices. The voice activation google assistant will find the show you're looking for quickly across multiple platforms. You have a row dedicated to show you have not finished yet so you can find them quickly and much more.

This is one of the best streaming device out on the market. Navigating it is very fast and smooth. I like the user interface and the Google “For You” recommendation. My only disappointment is the storage. You can add additional storage, but will need an usb c adapter and a memory card or stick. I’m very happy with this purchase, will be buying a second one.

The best Chromecast I've ever used. I've been using Chromecasts since the first generation of them. This is easy to use, has features I've always wanted, and works great on a 4k television. However, the main reason I bought this was to stream my Oculus Quest 2 headset to a tv so my roommates could watch what I was doing in VR. It works perfectly.

Wonderful breath of all streaming services. Annoying that I cannot use my TV's USB port to power it. The picture and sound are not as good as my Apple TV 4K, but the cost for this device is way lower and very good. Certainly better user interface than my TV's OS, and if you have a Google Nest speaker, you can set this up for some degree of voice commands. I would recommend.

easy to setup. i like the options and the speed. you have to run it off a power outlet because i think most tvs dont provide enough power. its easy enough if you have an outlet nearby

i have 4 of these, 1 on each tv. if you like google TV, this is a must have. much faster than the tv interface, decent price

Really was kind of skeptical at first because I had a regular chromecast and wasn’t too happy with the whole “have to download the apps and sync with the phone” thing but this one has the remote and I love how I can access all of my shows, apps, and everything from one screen. It’s very useful and easy to set up and use. Wasn’t disappointed at all.

Fast and easy to setup. I suggest getting this 4k version because its faster than my original 1080p Google TV. And has different colors so i like that
