Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy to set up, easy to use. I have android so I'm use to the operating system. Can use control to control TV, inputs, on/off, volume. Many apps available on the Google store. I love this better than the Roku interface.

Purchased this because I have YouTube TV and my Roku Ultra still lacks the HBO Max app so I thought I'd give it a try. I really like the Chromecast with Google TV. It's great for YouTube TV because the Live Guide has more info than the guide in the YouTube TV app which is weird. I like that it gives suggestions from my Hulu, Netflix and HBO Max streaming accounts and you can go directly to the program rather than through the app, thus saving time. Picture quality has been good. It even gives me suggestions for programs that are on my YouTube TV DVR and YouTube videos. My only complaints would be that there is no wired connection option as with the Roku Ultra but I have not had any buffering issues. Also, the remote feels really light compared to the Roku remote which is heavier and just feels more substantial in your hand. It also takes a few seconds to wakeup if the TV has been off for a bit. The Roku Ultra seems a tiny bit faster getting to the main menu, but then you have to enter the app you want to watch so in the end I think the Chromecast is faster but I have not actually sat there with a watch and timed it. Setup was easy. Casting is easy. I'd buy another if there are any Black Friday deals this year.

Best way to stream and enjoy your favorite movies, TV shows and music from any provider. It runs Google TV which is fast and easy to use. The included remote can also control your TV volume and, if you have a smart home, your smart devices with the dedicated Google Assistant button. Very satisfied with this product

It is more than a Chromecast with a remote. I appreciate the google tv interface and the remote is easy to use. I love that I do not need to use my phone or tablet with the Chromecast with Google TV. My only issue is that some apps like the Watch Spectrum app do not have a downloadable abpp for the device yet.

For my use, the best balance between Fire TV, Roku and Google services. Nice front end with remote so you can use it like a Roku, but also super convenient to Chromecast from my phone. Plus, I can control my TV using Google Assistant much more seamlessly than connecting to LG's service etc. Easy setup out of the box too. Good bang for the buck.

I bought it to replace my mothers Cable box... She very technologic impaired...(she's 65) The interface is pretty simple for her to understand (once I put it in app mode) It's responsive the control could have better placement for the vol buttons Set up was simple But over it does what it needs to do... Save me money on my cable bill..

This is probably the best streaming "stick" you can buy on the market in this price range. It's much faster than the amazon fire TV sticks and it's apparent when clicking through menus. Setup is super easy like most google products and I don't regret my purchase!

This has to be the best dashboard I've come across and I have played with LG, samsung, roku, fire. The dashboard does a great job at customizing your preference and recommended shows and movies located in all streaming media programs all in one place. It's very easy to use. Makes old tvs feel new. Highly recommended.

I have bought several of these for family member and myself for every room they are very easy to connect too and can stream anything you want and also can mirror your phone

Huge upgrade to just about any TV that is not running Android or Google TV. If your TV is a few years old and the picture/display is still good, then I would highly recommend this product, once you try it, I am sure you will agree. Simple to connect, very responsive and a great value for the money. I found that it is more responsive than a FireTV Stick, and if you have an Android phone, casting to the TV is super easy. The only thing that I wish, is that the voiume control on the remote was bigger or positioned a little better, but that is a minor complaint and I still give it 5 stars. Enjoy.. -aj

I have been a Chromecast user for a long time, but it was never my primary device because I never loved having to control it using my phone. This new Chromecast solves that with the inclusion of a remote and it is wonderful! I love the interface and it has actually replace my Roku. A few software updates and I think this thing will be near perfect!!

Slowly but surely I've been moving away from Apple into the Google ecosystem. I'm not a fan of Roku's interface or the Amazon Fire Tv. Considering the Apple tv devices start at $150, and I got this for $50, I was skeptical on what I may be losing. So far, I love the remote in comparison to the apple tv. It's bulkier and feels like a better fit for my hand. I love the fact it has an input and power button on it, as well as a mute button. Android TV has really been spruced up with the new Google TV changes. I enjoy the new appearance. Everything so far has worked great. Google assistant is way better than Siri, and the experience is consistent between devices. It's also way easier to use my google photos albums as the screensaver or "ambient mode" on the tv. Good luck doing this on apple tv without sharing your entire library. My only gripes are: 1) This doesn't come in all black 2) The Netflix button on the remote isn't customizable 3) The android tv remote app syncs terribly and doesn't allow me to use my password autofill the same way apple tv does with iphone. It also fails to register keys being typed on my phone. It's been a while since I've had to use a tv remote to type in passwords. Updates can fix this though.

This is my new favorite streaming device 4k Dolby vision people are sleeping on the free 6 months free peacock with activation it's glitchy when trying to get offer but it does work activation on device took a week trust me you will love device it's fast not enough good YouTube videos I own 2

This product has a lot more performance packed into it than one would think. So far I have been very happy with it and will be getting another. Performs better than most of the smart TV built-in OS's. The remote is small (and can slip from the hand quickly) and performs all the needed functions. This easily paired with my LG TV and Sony receiver volume, but not the receiver power, so I have just leave that on. Also, integration with my existing Google home mini smart speaker was a dream. Basically set up itself. There have been several questions on whether to get the HD vs. 4k. I went with the 4k, just because of the additional memory and processor. I'm sure they both work great though. I got this for $50, wish could have got for $30-40 to make it easier to justify additional TV's around the house. Still very happy overall Enjoy

Google has updated their chromecast with Google TV OS. The user experience seemed a bit getting used to, but the addition of the remote and being able to use voice assistant really helps make the user experience. Having the flexibility and option to use casting from a smartphone/computer or to use the remote to search for your media is nice.

Great Google TV device. I had the original chromecast years ago and I didn't like always using the app to control it and it looked horrible compared to a Apple TV. This one looks great and if you have a 4K TV you can see how great the picture is. The OS looks good too and the remote is the game changer. For only 50 dollars, this is a steal.

I updated a UHD Samsung that was no longer OTA updatable. The 4k chromecast was an easy install and provides excellent picture and speed. All apps are available.

This is a great melding of all my services into an interface that makes it easy to navigate. I used to start watching a show and then forget which service it was on. Now If I watch something from Hulu, Netflix, HBO, etc. it shows in my recently viewed and is easily accessible.

I was an early adopter of Google Chromecasts but grew tired of having to use my phone as a controller and moved to Apple TV in my living room. Once this new chromecast was announced I jump on the opportunity to buy it and test it out. Setup was easy and was complete in under 5 minutes. UI was very easy to use but sometimes it slows down. I loved the fact that I can change the "YouTube" button shortcut to go to YouTube TV since I am subscriber and that is my main TV service. Google Assistant moves very fast (almost faster than other dedicated devices). Only gripes are with the feel and look of the remote. Feels a little cheap but cant expect too much at a $50 price point. I really wish it came in black as I can see this white remote getting dirty fast from handling it a lot Pros: -Easy to setup -Shortcut buttons (YouTube TV users can change the "YouTube" button to go to YouTube TV instead!) -Assistant is fast, seemingly faster that my other devices Cons: -UI is easy to use but definitely slower than my Apple TV -Remote feels cheap but hard to complain at $50 price point -Wish the remote came in black, I can see this getting dirty fast Overall a great device that was a welcome change with adding a remote!

OMG! This is the device that I've been waiting for. No more looking at the live guide on my cell phone. The remote gives a great guide that leaves you feeling like you're watching "real" tv from a real service. Also, YouTube, Netflix and Amazon items are right there to watch too seamlessly. Why is this cheaper than the previous Chromecast?
