    Turn any HDMI enabled tv to a Google TV with thousands of apps, chromecast enablement and google voice. You dont like your TV's operating system like Tizen or LG's Web OS, this device is the perfect upgrade!

    [Employee of bestbuy] Fantastic product. Very streamlined. The updates it's received over the years has made this truly a great product. I'm loving the recent addition of live channels.

    Much better than FireTV and Roku... Chromecast with Google is a game changer. For those who cannot afford the nVidia Shield TV, they should get this. With the latest Dec 2021 update, many bugs were fixed and better support for Dolby Vision was enabled.

    Laggy but pretty great for an old TV.

    We use this every day, but it is sometimes frustrating as the UI is laggy for a while. Once you've been using it a little bit the lag disappears and it's a very pleasant experience. I have had some issue with some video formats not playing, or playing very poorly, but the recent software updates have helped.

    I cannot believe the amount of features you get on this device for the price. This blows Apple TV out of the water in almost every aspect and I thought Apple was the best. This is very snappy and responsive and works well, even with a slow internet connection.

    Great item that performs just like it should. The price is the same at Best Buy as anywhere else, so since I needed it STAT, I walked in and purchased locally.

    Easy to setup and use if you are in the Google ecosystem. It comes in several different colors. If you want to use your usb on your tv, make sure if has enough power to power the device. Otherwise you'll need to use the included power brick.

    was a good Roku replacement until a recent firmware update that now forces you to see content that you don't have active accounts for. They are ready to sell or rent you the content but that's not what we want to deal with. So except for casting videos to the unit on occasion, the unit doesn't get used much. Just stick with Roku, your best bet for everything streaming.

    This device is the best equipment designed to add modern applications to any TV with an HDMI input. I don’t need to buy an AppleTV device anymore, just need to install the app in my new ChromeCast.
