    A must have item. It controls not only the chromecast, but the tv it self. The volume and power is also controlled with this amazing control. This new chromecast is fast. Mush faster than the previous model. Great product. I would recommend.

    A solid device with pros and cons

    Nice UI. Love that the remote has physical buttons for YouTube and Netflix, my most frequently-used streaming services. The Google assistant integration is fantastic. The Disney+ app interface is laggy. The remote itself is too slippery and not very comfortable/easy to hold as a result. The Roku remote is much better to hold in hand.

    This replaced my $200 Nvidia shield, the remote is very compact and intuitive. The OS is snappy and easy to use. I bought one for every room of the house and even gave some as gifts. For streaming content/casting, this can't be beat.

    The best streaming device

    This is the easiest, fastest, best laid out streaming device out there. I have used roku, Apple TV, smart tv Android systems and tizen and this blows all of them away. 4K, hdr support, voice control, and all at a great price.

    I've had this for 6 months now and no complaints. Performance is great and obviously does not take up any space. The interface is pleasant and easy to use and intuitive enough for what you need it to do. No complaints here

    Excellent product. Easy setup/use. Decent remote. All the apps you'll ever need. Immediately fired up Far Cry 5 on Stadia and it played without a hitch. This Chromecast can't be beat at this price. I would have paid more.

    This Chromecast is small, and easy to use with a nice remote. I prefer Android TV over most other smart TV OS out there. I have an LG TV and I use the Chromecast instead because it feels more fluid and has more features.

    Saving $90 a month with Chromecast

    Works great--turned my 10-year old dumb TV into a really SMART TV. I first purchased the Chromecast without its own remote, which you have to operate from your smart phone. That was too difficult for me so I took that one back and bought this one. Plugged it in and all of a sudden I had all the apps you could ever want, listed on my TV screen. I opted for Sling Blue for watching most of my favorite cable channels, like CNN, and I already had an Amazon Prime account. Then I disconnected my Spectrum cable box and cancelled the cable part of my account. My bill instantly dropped from $200 to $90 a month. My only complaint with the Chromecast is the size of the remote. It is so small that when you try to use the volume buttons on the side with your thumb, there is nothing left to help in your hand.

    Best Streaming Device!

    I think I have every streaming device out there... Shield TV Pro, Apple TV, Chromecast, Roku, Fire TV... This one is the best, when you factor in price. If price isn't an option, I would highly suggest the NVIDIA Shield TV with 4K AI upscaling, wired Ethernet, and GeForce's Game Stream. But most people probably don't need all that and would prefer to purchase something at least 1/3 or the price. This is that device. New Google TV UI on top of Android TV looks good. Tons of recommended content instead of just apps in your face. But if you want apps, they still got them as you can download almost any app from the Android TV ecosystem. Highly recommended product!

    Great Product For casting & Streaming

    I really like the Chromecast with Google TV. I had been using the Google - Chromecast Ultra 4K Streaming Media Players on several TV setups but wanted a way to control the volume on my Denon AVR and the Chromecast with Google TV does just that. It took me a while to figure out how to do that without using CEC but I was able to do it without using Anynet + CEC through ARC on my Samsung TV. I have been having problems with Anynet + CEC through ARC on my Samsung not working properly with my Denon receiver. Note that I also have a TiVo Stream 4K device for which I have yet been able to control volume with its remote without CEC being enabled. I also have Roku ULTRA devices which work great and a Apple TV 4K which is very expensive and I hate its remote. It is a tossup between the Roku ULTRA and the Chromecast with Google TV - 4K but you can't cast to the Roku devices. I ended up using both devices

    Buy this, not Fire Stick!

    I have purchased multiple Fire Sticks for TV's throughout the house. I find them to be incredibly slow/sluggish and you are bombarded with advertisements. In comes the Chromecast. It costs a few bucks more but is far more responsive. The remote is great and the advertisements are down to a minimum (there are settings for this where fire stick does not). I own two NVidia Shield TV's and they are by far the best set top box, but they come at a premium cost. I own 3 fire sticks and will gladly get rid of them as soon as they die. The chromecast is the perfect middle of the ground device.

    Great product. One of the best streaming devices out right now for the price. Have not had any issues with it. Loads fast and plays everything we need. Remote controls everything from TV to soundbar so no need for multiple remotes either.

    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.

    An excellent uograde from the previos generation

    The hardware change from the 3rd Generation (2018 version) is the addition of the remote (with a built in microphone) as well as a ton of new features. The biggest feature is Google TV which is the built in app where you can navigate through all your media content connected to your Google acocunt. It even has access to Apple TV. Additional features such as the USB-C port on the bottom can be expanded by connecting it to an expansion dongle where you can add anything from flashdrives, controllers, to webcams. Throw in a Google home/hub to the mix and you can automate your TV to your smart home usimg the routines feature. The one downside is the need for a subscription service to connect to the account if you want the best experience out of this device such as (but not limited to) Youtube Premium or Youtube TV. It will absolutely still work without it.
