    It’s very good product for me. It’s work properly in low WiFi network. If your tv is not smart that’s a great device for you.

    The remote needs attention

    This is one product I purchased immediately when it came out. Television reception on the second floor of our house was hit or miss, which is not desirable. One device was ruined by a surge in electricity during a storm and the other was not equipped with the appropriate wifi to steadily maintain a good image on the screen. (The router is Google Nest.) This new device was to be the answer. In terms of reception, much of the time it has been the answer, but the one aspect of this device that needs attention is the remote. It is simply too small and much too slick. Sometimes it is like trying to handle a wet fish with your bare hand. A somewhat larger remote that is not so slippery would be a significant improvement. Some devices are just too small, and this is one such device.

    Its great but i wish the remote was less slippery, its like they coated it with a flurosurfactant or something. I hope theres no PFAS in this coating!

    The best starting device for Android TV (now Google TV) hands down. Response is snappy and it has all of the expected features. You can use as much or a little of the feature you want to. This is the best streaming device for most people because of the flexibility.

    Global Mobile company Bait and Switched my Order.

    Buyer be ware. The item I received from the market partner seller was the 2020 model of this. Less storage and processing power. Global Mobile tried to pass the $50 version off for this $200 model. They wouldn't make it right by sending me the proper one when I called them out on it and just made me submit for a refund which they did provide after refusing to send me the proper item. I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt and say they just grabbed the wrong one off the shelf since they physically look the same but they by the end, I felt they tried a bait and switch to get rid of their old inventory. BestBuy said they couldn't help since it was a market partner, even though their site says they stand behind all their market partners... Long story short. Just make sure you're actually receiving what you ordered and paid for. As stated, they look the same so you may not realize you received an old inferior model.

    Excellent device to upgrade an old tv to a smart tv. I lost the remote in a move but I could not buy just the remote, so I purchased this set. Works great.

    I like this Google TV. It is fast enough. The good thing about it is that it recommends movies and shows to me. The cast function works really well. I wanted to give it 5 star. But I wish that it had more ram (only 2.0 gb). Also, there is no ethernet connection. I have to depend entirely on Wi-Fi. Buying an adapter to connect to Ethernet costs another $20.00.

    I love that you can control the chromecast, tv, and sound system all with one remote. You can also save multiple TVs to the device to be controlled with your remote. The best streaming device hands down.

    Its good not great. its slow to open apps and to play a movie its even slower. the UI is nice and its nice to have almost every app available. hopefully apple tv app comes to it eventually. oh one more thing took me a long time to set up turns out it was my wifi out that day so not sure who to blame but it was a lot harder to set up than my Chromecast ultra

    The Chromecast with Google TV is exactly what I was hoping it would be. Have used a few other streaming devices, but this one for my needs is the best out there. I really like the fact that the dedicated YouTube button can be configured for YouTube TV if you want.

    This is hands down one of the best Google, or even tech products in general of the decade. They've done an amazing job with the controller - super intuitive, and Google TV is fantastic, especially with YouTubeTV, which finally gets an EPG (program guide). Amazing!

    I switched from Fire Sticks to this product due to the casting ability. It has allowed my TV's to serve as a larger monitor for my laptop which has helped considerably working from home more due to COVID-19. No complaints or issues whatsoever.

    I absolutely love this new Chromecast!!!! I am a google user, but I also use lots of other streaming services, and it so so nice to have it all in one place. Only con is that FF and rewind function take some getting used to, but I would definitely buy one again!
