    Honestly super impressed. Quality/speed is almost on par with Apple TV. Missing a couple apps but otherwise great for casting and streaming. Much better than a Firestick.

    Absolutely awesome hub for all of your apps. Very simple to use and I love the way you can see all available shows across the different apps on one screen. All for just $50.

    The Chromecast with GoogleTV works great. The interface is easy to navigate and signing in to various subscription services was straightforward. Looking forward to seeing more apps be made available for it along with the ability to pair a keyboard.

    This is a really nice product. I turned my 5 year old projector into a giant smart TV with this dongle. Definitely recommend it because it is very easy to use and fast.

    I really love this - I'm getting one for every smart tv we have. We no longer pay for cable TV, so we get our content from a variety of streaming services. Until I got this, I was the ONLY person in the house who could figure out how to turn on the television; now even beginners can do it. As I try to explain to my mother, you don't have to connect a computer or a tablet or a phone to the Chromecast every time you want to stream something, because it's all inside that tiny box. You only need to log into your (paid) streaming services once. They still don't really understand why it works, but they can use it. (Sigh of relief)

    I really enjoyed this for the first 8-9 months after purchasing. It made casting to my tv easy and the universal remote feature made handling a sound bar, tv, and chromecast easy. In the last 2 months, it has started dropping devices that it can control from the universal remote feature (now using 3 remotes to control 3 separate devices when this was able to control all before). I've tried updating the software and repairing the remote but nothing has worked. It still functions as a streaming device but the remote has definitely become more of a hassle seemingly out of no where

    This was a nice surprise. I've been using the Amazon FireTV for a few years now and we've been discussing within the family about a TV upgrade this Thanksgiving. *Luckily* the fireTV remote broke down and this device was almost the same price as the remote so I decided to go for this. The UI is so much better and fresher than FireTV at least, we've decided to skip the TV upgrade this year. Honestly! The tech is amazing as well - I have a FireTV with just the single Amazon remote; so I was pleasantly surprised when I could configure (easily!) the google TV remote for hardware controls as well like volume, power on/off etc.

    Really great device that allows me to see all of my paid subscriptions in one screen (Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, etc). Easy to connect. Remote is nice and simple.

    All I wanted was to stream music and see what song is playing on the TV and it does that well. I don't like all the pushing of tv shows and movies on the home screen. You can change a setting so you only see the apps you have installed (Pandora and iHeartReadio for me) but you can't remove the big "ad" at the top of the home screen.

    I use it mainly to watch YouTube on a secondary TV. I can also steam content stored on my PC with the Plex app which is nice. Seems to work well and I haven't noticed any major bugs or problems. I think it's a solid value. In comparison to my Roku Ultra: The Chromecast has a lot of advertising and channels that they want you to "discover". As opposed to Roku, you can delete all but the channels you want and the ads are less intrusive. Overall, I would recommend a Roku over this to most people unless you really love using Google's voice assistant. The Roku interface is just more intuitive and pleasant to use and you have access to a lot more apps. The Roku remote is also better and some have a headphone jack which is a nice feature. One cool thing about the Chromecast, you can easily take it with you and plug into a TV at a friend's house or on a trip.

    The 4 stars is really more like 4.75, because this device is great especially for the price, but a few things missing which would be nice to have: 1) No voice to text when inside an app like Netflix. It’s a feature Apple TV which is super helpful. 2) No multi users support to separate out content. Seems like a no brained especially since you can add more then one account to the device but it doesn’t separate out the content; seems weird. 3) Seems to get a little finicky with my Sonos system where I get no sound and have to reboot the device. All said, for the price, it’s a fantastic buy. Don’t compare it to Apple TV because you can’t. I have both (non-4K 3rd gen Apple TV) and I defer to this device now when watching content because of the 4K. Also, if you have other google devices in your house, it’s a cool addition as they all work in sync.

    Easy to set up. There is no lag. I am using it for YT, YT TV, Netflix, Amazon Prime and Plex. Wish that Apple would create Apple TV+ app for Google TV. Highly recommend it.
