    Chromecast is fast, affordable, and has all the apps that you would need. It is also very easy to use.

    This thing is awesome! It is also a Chromecast too! It is so great how, once you take what feels like forever to sink up all your services and apps, that everything you use is in one GIANT menu. Sometimes it takes me 30 minutes just to scroll through it. Only streaming stick you need! I am getting another one for upstairs too. Only weird part is the services that show up in your menu that you don't have, like I don't have Hulu, but there it is? All in all, high recommendation, as I understand nothing is perfect.

    All I can say is, “Well, that was easy!” It was easy to set up, and easy to operate. It’s so much better than my old Chromecast.

    Internet TV without the hassle! Plug it in, type in the password for the internet, and "Gentlemen, start your engines!" WOW, this has EVERYTHING! Oh ... and did I tell you already about the remote which understands what you're saying and just follows your spoken commands to a tee?! (Mind you, the only deceiving thing about the product pic is the fact that it doesn't show the electric wire that you DO need to run from the Chromecast to your outlet. Yes, it is included.)

    I really like this product. The remote feels really nice. The button layout is a little weird to me, but I got used to it. I like how all the recommended shows are from different apps so it really gives you a variety. I also like how the remote can control the on/off and volume status of the tv itself. However, it can also control my other tv, so take that however you want. I never knew how helpful google assistant could be on a tv. If you have a lot of smart home stuff I would greatly recommend this.

    Excellent so far. I've replaced my rokus with these. Faster, cleaner and more options. Can view nest security cameras on the Chromecast. Youtube TV works so well with this. All google assistant options are available by remote or voice. I linked home speakers groups and can play music thru sound bar. I've synced PS4 controller and playing games on this. The price is great especially with the options given.

    I purchased this to update the features of an older TV. What I could not believe is that the Google TV interface is a match with my new Sony OLED TVs. No new learning curve. I can't beat that,

    Very portable, user friendly and fast. Includes all the streaming channels I needed. Only caveat is that it no longer charges with the TV's USB port but with the included adapter.

    Huge upgrade from Chromecast systems of the past. I got this because the built-in Samsung AI on SmartTV i got for my mother-in-law was very confusing for her to navigate. Now with the addition of a remote, she seamlessly and clearly is able to navigate through her commonly used apps and sometimes even uses the voice feature when searching on YouTube. The old TV remote is obsolete as this Chromecast Remote also controls volume and inputs. Great purchase has fortified my position as favorite son-in-law.

    Loved it at first, but ultimately not a huge fan

    The remote is (or was) nice, and the picture quality is great. I think this would be a good product for some people. But there were a few fatal flaws that have pushed me towards replacing this with a shield tv pro. The main detractor for me is the software side. Performance is not as good as I would expect. Reboots are slow, and navigation is frequently laggy. The Plex app doesn't work well at all, especially for 4k HDR content. There are some chromecast-only bugs that can distort video and/or crash the whole system, which seem to be due to the device's video playback API. I frequently found myself waiting for it to chug through some lag before I could get to what I wanted to watch. I'm also not a fan of the Google tv interface overall. It's not very customizable, and the focus is always on "recommend" content, which you may or may not have access to. Android tv, in contrast, allows you to build your own home screen with the content you want to see. With CCwGT, you better hope you will like the recommendations, because they will dominate your experience of the user interface. The remote is very ergonomic and nice to use, but after only a few months the "up" button is wearing out and requires a lot more force to press. It's also very easy to lose... But while it was working fully I enjoyed using it. Overall, it's good for the price. But durability is questionable, considering the remote and the decrease in performance over time. And the user doesn't get as much control over the experience, compared to Android tv or even an apple tv 4k. It didn't quite meet my needs.

    Once it is connected to a HDMI port the device takes over the TV and guides you thru the settings process. Be careful....you may be signing up for services you may not want. Take your time setting this device up. Once it is set, you can start streaming. This device connects you to anything GOOGLE. Try all the free services and decide what to keep once the promotional time is over. Oh by the way, you going to have to deal with another little remote on your table. Find a tray to keep them all together.

    Chromcast Vs. Apple 4K ATV

    I own both the Apple 4K ATV (latest version with the Siri Remote)and the Chromecast with Google TV 4K. Save yourself the extra $ and get the Chromecast (which also has the Apple TV app among many other apps). Excellent device and no difference from the much much more expensive Apple. In some ways Chromecast is even better. YOU TUBE HDR videos (from the YOU TUBE app)play in HDR on the Chromecast but not on the Apple 4K ATV. Stick with the Chromecast with Google TV 4K.
