Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

I'm really impressed with this! I've had other chromecasts, but this one was really easy to set up and I was really impressed with how easy it was to pare with my older TV. The Remote is easy to use and I'm really happy that I bought it!

It was really nice I really liked it it lasted for years !

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.

Easy as 1-2-3 to set up. Comes with apps pre installed. We purchased to cast ur Oculus Quest 2 to our TV. So far so good. Everything works great. Highly suggest get the 4k version.

Super easy to use and install. Would definitely get the one with the remote. Bought it to use with YouTube tv and it works perfectly. Have them on 5 tv’s. Very happy with this purchase and I was able to get rid of cable.

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. 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.

Works as intended. Designed well, as the device sits behind your TV, out of sight. The remote is a welcome addition to the Chromecast. Could use a little more storage, but gets by for the limited TV/entertainment apps.

Very good deal, It's basically a slightly different Android TV, but it's fast, works well, and even better, you don't have to switch remotes. Much better deal than Fire or Roku sticks. Even better if you have a Google based smart home.

Device operates quickly and google tv is easy to use. WiFi works well and connection is reliable. Not very much storage and additional apps fills it up fast. Plan on adding USB hub and flash drives to expand it. Some hubs require larger USB power supply. I like the remote. Prefer this over Firestick.

I've been using Chromecasts since the first version and have loved them with one exception, they lacked a remote. The Chromecast with Google TV is almost a perfect streaming device. It seems to handle everything I throw at it. The interface is very fast and clean. The assistant button is the best feature IMO because it helps you to quickly start watching what you want without hunting around for it. I use Plex and I was hoping it would search my Plex library, but that doesn't seem to be the case which is a bummer but not a huge deal. This handles Dolby Vision/Atmos which is a big deal to me since my LG OLED tv supports both formats. It also supports HDR 10. Overall, this is a solid device and you won't be disappointed coming from any other device such as Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, or the older Chromecasts.

Another awesome way to stream all my favorite shows in crisp 4K! I love the easy setup and how the remote feels comfortable in my hand. The Google TV interface is super user-friendly and helps me find content fast. It supports tons of apps, so there’s always something to watch. The picture quality is fantastic with vibrant colors and smooth playback.

Amazing and fast easy to use and a addition of a controller is amazing although I would say that the controller is really sensitive so there’s a lot of miss clicks and also slips a lot off of my hands but other then that it’s perfect

This is a great value for streaming. The remote will even control all the other smart devices in my home. I love it.

The best decision chromecast ever made so far. The best interface on all streaming devices. The addition of the remote is good too but not the best (FireTV remote). It has all of the apps and customization for the viewer's pleasure.

Very impressed. Typical, easy set up through google home. Ability to search across streaming services is wonderful. UI is a huge improvement from classic android tv. Looking forward to Google TV being imbedded in Sony, Hisense natively.

Bought one to try as both a good device for Google TV and and to see if it would be better than my Roku. This unit plugs right into the back my my TV, and because my TV does not have a newer USB port, I have to run a power cable to it, so it does not look great with my wall mounted TV. I already disconnected the Google TV service as it's really not much cheaper than cable TV and I dislike the menu UI a lot compared to Verizon FIOS. However, as a device to display streaming channels, it's pretty good, and one thing we especially like is seeing movie and TV options from all of the streaming services I subscribe to, instead of loading each service and looking for shows. The remote is OK, and the system is actually more responsive than my Roku (the most powerful of the Roku line), and the voice search works well. The ability to bookmark shows in the main menu seems inconsistent, but I am enjoying the unit overall and it might replace our Roku for good.

Got it for my boyfriend for Christmas and he loves it. Very easy to use and set up. He loves that you can access movies and shows from different services under one platform. Much easier to use than switching from service to service.

This is my first dedicated streaming device. I thought about a Roku and the original Chromecast, but like the idea of having the Android TV experience. All, in all, I'm happy with the performance and picture quality. While Google TV links with some streaming sites (like Netflix), it doesn't with others (like MotorTrend). What that leaves me with is an incomplete previously watched list. Not a huge deal, but it sure would be nice. The Google TV doesn't care about which family member is using it. It seems like every app I go into wants to know who's watching. If that was set in Google TV, it could tell the sister sites who is watching. It would also be nice to select multiple users so you can get a combined playlist. Just sayn' I had a little issue with the CEC feature. I typically watch TV on my cable box and Google TV would try to (well did) take over the sound going to my soundbar. Very strange. Would I recommend this to a friend. Yes, although they would likely be a Google fanboy and good with electronics. That goes without saying for most streaming devices so Google TV isn't alone.
