    This is a huge Upgrade from the chromecast ultra. It's basically the ultra but with more features and for less money. Having the ability to cast things from your phone but also have a dedicated home screen for apps and movies is very convenient.

    Works really well. I personally haven't had any connectivity issues for that matter. It would be better if it had Google Stedia, but that's not an immediate turn off. The YouTube and Netflix buttons are also slightly annoying, but that's only because I don't have Netflix. But honestly I don't have any big issues with it.

    This little stick is a wonderful controller for the TV and connections to Wifi apps. And it has many apps that we didn't have on our Sony BluRay player. My only complaint is that it is not very big.

    Bought this specifically to be able to watch our kids play the oculus quest VR headset. We can now see what they see & allows everyone to be involved. Perfect!

    I brought the Chromecast mainly for the mirroring capability forgetting its a mini powerhouse of it's own.

    Good overall but setup seemed glitchy

    Works fine but setup was more challenging than anticipated, and I am not a technophobe by any stretch of the imagination. Had trouble staying connected to Internet through setup process, stays connected fine now that setup is complete. My wife (who IS technologically challenged) has adapted well to it. Easy to use.

    Performance wise - the device centralizes a lot of the streaming experience and provides a 'remote' for the generations that need something tactile. Con: The remote layout is not great. The volume buttons especially. Shape/finish of the remove makes it easy to drop.

    I like the inbuilt channels but I believe more could be done to improve access to other apps which are difficult to download.

    The remote makes it so much easier for traveling and changing wifi. The regular chromecast takes basically resetting to change wifi. Great quality, great apps, works great with the oculus as well for casting.

    Probably the best streaming device for the value. It’s hard to compare this to other devices for what it offers. For just a tad bit more features, you’ll need to spend much more on an Nvidia Shield compared to this.

    Chromecast streaming device is not as intuitive to navigate as Roku, but has more functionality and user options — especially if using UTube TV as a content source, This is our 3rd Chromecast purchase.

    Good to hold you over until you can upgrade. When we first got it and started watching TV it was constantly buffering. After doing research we saw that we could but an Ethernet adapter. We bought it and haven't had issues since. If you buy this, buy the Ethernet adapter too.

      Hi rikimarie123, thanks for posting a review. We regret to hear that you experienced buffering issues with your Chromecast with Google TV.

      Buffering may be related to both the limited bandwidth caused by a congestion of your network or a possible interference. We’re glad to know that using an ethernet adapter fixed the issue. If you have any questions or concerns, our support team is always here to help. You can contact us anytime through this link: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp madebygoogle

    We have all streaming at home so when we travel its been hard to keep up with our entertainment. I got 2 of these for our week long stay at a resort. Its was like our smart TV at home and we had not issue.

    Bought this to cast to the TV. Works great for the most part. Once in a while there is a slow sync but I can't see downgrading the review for something that small. Worth the money.
