    Pretty good streaming device and responsive when set up correctly. I wish it came with an extender because my TV's HDMI plug is in the back and the remote had issues connecting every once in a while. I had to purchase a separate extender and it works a lot better.

    I have been using Chromecast devices since they first came out. I wish I had this newer unit on more of my TV's! Voice recognition and no need for a smart phone make it very easy for everyone to use.

    It works great for streaming, but I find it kinda slow when it comes to streaming photos and videos from my phone to the Chromecast. Not sure why, but the audio rarely syncs, and sometimes the videos stop playing even though the audio is still going like normal. Anyway for the price, it works well enough.

    The remote is a little too small and a little too slippery. I like that I can leave my Chromebook in my office when I use it to steam from web sites to watch in my living room. and all the streaming controls on the chrome-cast remote work fine.

    Works just like the FireStick, only difference it has the Google interface. It connected easily with my Google hub. Giving it 4 stars due to a few misunderstandings with the voice control but, honestly, I have not used it enough as some downloaded streaming apps within are not compatible with the voice control.

    My xbox was connected to my projector and sound bar to watch movies on my projector. This Chromecast makes everything much more simple because I can connect it directly to the projector via HDMI and to my sound bar via bluetooth.

      Hi Hbomb188, we're glad to hear that you love the UI works well for you, and that you're loving the YouTube button. However, we do apologize for the sluggish performance you experience on Chromecast with Google TV (4K).

      Chromecast devices typically require a high speed Internet connection of at least 20 Mbps and a reliable Wi-Fi network. We recommend checking if your current Internet bandwidth is possibly congested, or that it may not be enough to enable the best viewing experience with Chromecast. Removing some of your connected devices to free up some bandwidth space, and trying out Chromecast will help verify the issue. If you verify congestion, we suggest contacting your Internet service provider to check your connection and upgrade it if needed.

      If the issue persists even after upgrading your connection, please consider contacting our support team for further help here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp madebygoogle

    Works perfectly, hooked it up to an older TV we have in the downstairs and it turns the whole thing into a beautiful "Smart TV" without having to buy a whole new TV.

    Great streaming device. If all you do is stream content (no gaming), this is for you. The remote is fine. It does what it’s supposed to do. Buttons are responsive and works great. If the remote isn’t your thing, just use your phone.

    The interface and chromcast with Google TV set up is awesome and by far my new favorite streaming device. Unfortunately the remote came with the directional pad lodged with the right direction pressed and beyond voice control the remote is useless to me.

    I never thought it would happen, but there is finally a streaming device that beats the Roku! And if you're a subscriber to YouTube TV, this is the best, automatically bringing in all of your live TV channels through one device tab.

    It basically makes a tv into a smart TV. I have older tvs that are adequate in size but don't have high end features. This was a low cost way to upgrade the TV without spending hundreds. I'm very happy with the purchase.

    I gave it a 4 because it still has alot of bugs but is way better than buying a chromecast. It works great and doesnt crash as often as a Chromecast but still has some stability issues when trying to switch between sources on my TV or if I turn my tv on/off with a different remote.

    I've been a big fan of both my Roku TVs and my gen 2 & 3 Chromecasts, but the new Chromecast with Google TV is the best of both worlds. My only complaint is the remote, it is smaller and feels less substantial than my Roku remotes. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars.
