Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this item for me wife to use in her office. Upgraded from a chromecast to Google TV. The remote alone is major upgrade. It feels great and was easy to setup. The response is also great and the ability to add apps instead of just being a streaming device makes it feel more like a media box device like fire tv and apple tv except smaller. You cannot add memory and having a SD slot would have been an improvement... maybe the next version.

Exactly what I wanted in a streaming device. 1 place to curate everything I want to watch regardless of streaming service.

I love the Chromecast with Google TV so much this is so much better than regular Chromecast the interface and being able to see everything really makes a huge difference it's also got a faster processor in it so loading videos is very snappy and load much faster The Voice remote is great and I'm so glad that I can interact with all my other smart devices that are connected to the Wi-Fi I recommend this device to anybody I think it is better than any other smart device I've used on the TV

Made my old smart TV smart again. So easy to use and set up. It has free TV channels, and the remote is to useful, even had voice command to make searching easier. Highly recommend if you have an old TV that still works just doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the newer ones.

Excellent dongle with remote. We recently moved from satellite tv to streaming and were looking for an easy to use system. We were already using Chromecast for Netflix, but were tired of using phones to control our programs. This frees up our phones and has all of the programming in one place. We liked the first one so well, we bought two more for the other TV's in the house. I do wish that the volume keys were a little bit easier to manipulate. I often turn up when trying to turn down.

Connected this to an older Samsung TV. Works great. I have to reset it every couple of months but very satisfied.

The biggest difference I notice between my smart tvs and this Chromecast is the speed when moving through menus. Midrange smart tvs always lag and make navigating menus tedious. This chromecast is a fair bit snappier which has been a pleasure. Having a physical remote is definitely an upgrade over my older chromecasts too!

This is great and mostly the same as the older versions of the Chromecast I've loved for years however, for some reason this is a bit more finicky about connecting to my phone or computer. Hopefully that's just a bug that will be fixed with time but for now it is somewhat frustrating to not be able to cast from VLC player at all or from my phone as easily. Clearly the intention is for you to use the remote to access youtube through the built in interface however when there are multiple users in the house with different accounts and different subscriptions this isn't a perfect solution. These are all minor gripes though and otherwise it works great!

Works really well! It's very easy to control and cast stuff from my phone.

Easy to use, has all the good streaming platforms and the remote controls the tv in addition to the Chromecast

Very good Very fast and easy to use You just need a Google account and you can download everything you need

AMAZING, simply the nest purchase I could ever made. Works very fast and the control y super easy to handle

Great product. Very easy to setup and a great interface. Successfully controls my TV. Family finds it very easy to use.

I looked at a lot of these streaming devices and I’m so glad I picked this one. 4K streaming and convenient remote

The Android TV Software is a really nice alternative to use vs. a Roku or Apple TV. It is easy to set up, the remote is easy to program with your TV and Sound bar, and the picture quality is great. I would give 5 stars, but they need to work on the UI a bit, which can get stuttery at times, along with the way it displays available content to watch. It tends to not test all available providers (i.e, Netflix, Amazon) the same with what it queues up for you to watch. Also, they did not make Google Stadia available at launch, and the only reason I can imagine is that they had to try and sell the rest of their Chromecast Ultra dongles first.

Bar none if you are a business traveler you need this device. I was on the fence after watching/reading reviews, but finally decided to pull the trigger and so glad I did. The ability to have this completely setup and all my accounts logged in, makes this nearly a plug and play experience in a hotel. And the ability to pair bluetooth headphones and easily sign in to the hotel wifi, means a quiet easy experience to start enjoying your streaming services.

Bought this as a cheaper alternative to the Apple TV box. It obviously doesn't have access to the Apple App Store and the system UI isn't as clean as the Apple TV, but I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth the menu runs. And in comparison to the regular Chromecast w/o Google TV, having this menu, voice control, and access to the Google Play Store are nice touches.

Perfect for my room! I have a small Samsung smart tv, however, the apps are not great and it is kind of slow so maybe not so smart. This is a great addition and helps the TV work better including for older TV's, which we also still have. The remote works quick and makes it easy to type and search with voice commands.

Great product! Easy to use and set up. Fast speed when moving between apps.

Google chromecast is fast and offers several optilms to consume media. You can cast almost any app from your phone. You can even screen mirror if the app doesnt support casting. It also has standalone apps on the chromecast itself. All of your favorites are here from netflix to youtube. The proce is extremely attractove as well for a 4k streaming device.
