Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love my google chromecast I have a samsung smart tv but I was having trouble using the smart hub and was thinking about getting a brand new smart tv until I heard about this and now i can watch shows and movies on all of my streaming services in one spot.

Excelent product. Comparable to Xiami Mi Box in capabilities but smaller, cheaper and with a better remote control. It's great that the remote control has IR capabilities to turn on the tv and change it's input. The only con is that it need to be plugged to the wall as it can't work with the watts provided by the tv USB ports.

It works great but it does sometimes freeze up and stop working so I’d have to unplug it and let it rest for a moment and it works again. But other than that it works perfectly and it makes watching all my shows and movies so much easier.

Great streaming device overall!!! Performs much smoother than most in its class and supports 4K and modern audio standards. What's more is that it has THE ASSISTANT!!! Finally, a step closer towards a smart home. However..... There is no built-in volume leveling option. Roku and Fire TV have it and I'm surprised that the engineers and developers at Google overlooked this crucial feature. I have a soundbar system connected to the TV via ARC. Makes it really annoying to watch stuff with inconsistent volume levels, especially at night. This could be easily fixed with a software update. But I hope google does it quick. I'm currently using a Roku stick+. But I'm not going to return the chromecast. The assistant is the feature which made it worth keeping.

I have two older Chromecast models. They are very dependable streaming "work horses". I've had this new Chromecast with Google TV for a few weeks. I really like the remote control and Google TV UI. The device is very quick to respond to the remote. Overall, a very good improvement to the Chromecast family. I highly recommend it.

Brings Android to the TV in a compact, easy to use package. It could benefit from a slightly faster CPU or perhaps a bit more RAM, but I use it daily with minimal lag, batteries for remote are included which is nice to see. For the price? Fantastic.

New Google TV is nice and easy to use. Enhances all the features from the Android TV interface. Powerful for such a small device. It won't beat an Nvidia Shield, but it plays and streams media as well as any box for 1/3 the cost. Nice support for Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision. Easy to use and has the wife acceptance factor.

Excellent pictures. Working fast and you have big choice of channels.

We bought a 65” Samsung smart TV last year and while the picture is nice, the apps and interface are terrible at best. This new 4K Chromcast finally allows us to enjoy our tv. Easy to use and navigate, works with google assistants, and so far, no crashes like the built in tv interface and apps.

Easy access to many online services. It's nice that it provides information on movies being available on different streaming services prior to purchasing a movie. Only complaint is looking at my google library is a pain because they show up in a line alphabetically that is a little cumbersome with 150+ movies. There should be an option for a grid view like on the phone app.

I've used almost all the Chromecasts. This is by far the best one yet. Easy to use and set-up. It's all I use to watch TV with. You won't need anything else. The remote works great and you can still use your phone, tablet or computer. I plan on buying another one to replace my old version in the bedroom.

I was already a fan of Chromecast from the first generation. The new remote has led me to use it much more. Makes a great supplement to a Roku for times when media companies are fighting each other over content availability. Also works well in a group with my Chromecast Audio units to play music throughout the apartment.

Out of all of the streaming sticks and devices I have used, this new Chromecast with Google TV is the best! It is simple to setup and use, and the layout is easy to use. The remote works very well, and it can be paired to work with a TV and receiver.

Great fire-stick equivalent! Superior in every way to the firestick. Faster start up, can access frequented shows from the main menu without opening apps, and the google assistant works flawlessly in conjuction with the nest mini or google assistant speakers. Only knocking off one star because some apps such as HBO Max does not let you continue shows directly from the main menu, not an issue with Netlix or Disney however.

This is now my go to streaming device. I am really happy that I bought this. Chromecast having a remote is really nice. I like how easy it was to integrate the streaming services I use. Its just very easy to use and set up specifically if you are an android user or already have other google devices.

Love it. I have several Apple TVs, had older Rokus and older Chromecasts and usually prefer my Apple TV but this new Chromecast is a nice upgrade. Interface is slick and the remote is so much better than the previous Apple TV and still may be better than the newest Apple TV I just purchased.

The new Chromecast appears to be the ultimate streaming device for all your favorite video subscription services. The setup process from the software side can take a while at first, but is pretty simple to use after that. Only issue I've experienced so far is it does tend to display notifications randomly throughout watching every now and then saying the device has been connected to the internet as if it somehow loses connection with the Wi-Fi then reconnects itself. I haven't had this issues with any other of my devices connected to the Wi-Fi that are even further from the router, and I've even tried disconnecting from the network and manually setting it up again but will still get the notifications popping up in the top right randomly while watching something. Thankfully the stream is never interrupted so its not that big of an issue currently.

Google gas finally added a bluetooth/IR remote to their cheap but excellent steaming device. With the newer Android TV interface, scrolling through my video services/apps has never been easier. Setup was a breeze and it's an excellent choice to use with an older television or in rooms that lack cable tv.

I own 4 of these. Turns any dumb TV to a smart TV and makes any smart tv smarter. I love the google interface. I love the included remote also. I bought this for an old samsung F8500 plasma that had an old outdated smart tv interface.

I like the UI. The remote is tiny, which isn’t my favorite. We got this for our bedroom, where we rarely watch tv. My wife went to go turn it on today (we purchased the sunrise color Oct.10th) and it said it had corrupt data and needed to be factory reset. It’s probably been used 5 times in that month and a half. Not the best sign. Would return back to Google and just get another fire-stick in all honesty.
