    Love this thing. I can turn on and off by tv since it's connected to my Google home. Has a ton of apps. I moved to this from a roku which I was happy with but may like this better. It's great that this comes with a remote but can also use a remote app from Google if I need to. It has tons of apps too and gives me the ability to cast my phone screen to the TV.

    Easy to install, and a great addition to a smart tv that doesn't have a preinstalled casting mechanism. The chromecast has some apps my own tv doesn't offer, which is very helpful

    Adding First Totally WIFI Television

    We are an older couple and just added our first totally WIFI supported television to our house. We needed the Chromecast to make sure that we got the channels provided by Spectrum and that we got the streaming services we subscribe to offering 4K. The Chromecast was one of the choices and it worked great. We also appreciate the Best Buy curbside pick up.

    IMO better than Fire TV

    I have owned Fire TV 4k stick for a long time. The sound is always way off on Fire TV. I have tried all sorts of options, but it never is in sync, not even close. If you fix it for one steaming, it messes up for another. I saw lot of good reviews and thought of trying Chromecast. Also I am an android user and have YouTube TV account, so it seemed like a natural fit. Overall I am so happy with Chromecast. The menu is simple and yet effective. The suggestions I get are very much aligned to my taste. The remote is super fast. I like the remote, although I would have liked it to be little bigger, little too small for a average user hand. All is not good with Chromecast yet, and may be future firmware release may fix some of the issues - Like for ex- even though I have updated my services I still get recommendations from services I have deselected. For ex, I do not have Disney+ and have deselected it, I still see recommendation for Disney+ movies. I guess google algorithm gives priority to your taste and recommends movies. Also sometime I see a movie listed as available on YouTube TV but when you click on it, it is available on some other streaming service. So there are some glitches that are annoying, however not enough to not own this product and recommend. It’s a keeper.

    Bought this because the guy ironically named "Truth" that worked at the Spectrum Store said it word work with our Spectrum subscription..."Truth" lied :( ..Does not work with the Spectrum Subscription..Unless you download the app on your phone and use your phone as a remote....Other than that its great for a bedroom TV ! Wouldn't want this for primary TV though..I am not really into streaming, wasn't sure about this product but it has worked out ok....

    The Chromecast w/ Google TV was plug and play out of the box. Attached it to my TV and connected it to my Android phone without any problems. Now I'm watching Disney+, Netflix, and YouTube in the comfort of my living room. It's a great device to access your favorite shows. It was a worthwhile purchase and I recommend this for others.

    I used to use all my apps that were available with my smart TV. However, there was latency when using the apps so I decided to get the Chromecast. The user interface is extremely simple to use and there is a variety of applications available. I plan on purchasing more Chromecasts for the rest of the TV's.

    I love this streamer. I've had everything out there, recently tried the Tivo device (3 times, all horrible) since I have Tivo throughout the house. I get HBO Max with my cell plan but it wouldn't run on Tivo. This device has every service I need and keeps it all in one place. It's a little slow to connect when switching over to it but overall I'm happy with it.

    Already have 2 fire sticks, but also have a bunch of Google products so thought I would give this a shot. It links to my google account and I have a Pixel phone so easy to cast to tv. I am used to the Fire Stick UI so probably biased, but I am not impressed with UI on this so far, maybe there are ways to customize but I don't like having to click all over the place to get back to an app I use alot. I do like the set up and the ability to control TV.

    Best streaming option available IMO. Took a star away for always showing streaming options I don't have (even after deselecting some in settings). Almost feels like ads and causes a few more button clicks to navigate. The 2 best things are showing everything (and more unfortunately) in one area / searches all apps and that you can download Kodi. I've been able to keep up with sports, shows, and PPV with the Xanax repository. Youtube "Kodi xanax" if you're interested...

    Didn't quite match up to Amazon Fire Stick

    Very functional and useful streaming device. Simple yet very intuitive remote. Only issue is that after setting it up to control TV for video content and AV receiver for audio content, it's been hit & miss whether both TV and receiver remote's turn on when I push power button on the remote. I tried exact same set up with an Amazon Fire Stick & it works flawlessly with TV & receiver. So, great device if you don't need to also control audio through an AV receiver.

    I just purchased one a few days ago and now I'm going to get another because it does everything that my Amazon fire stick and my Roku does only better. For example, I purchased two Firesticks just so I could play all my digital movies and TV shows I have on my WD Cloud Drive (NAS drive) because it was the only thing I knew of at the time that would display the subtitles and CC on them using the VLC app. Well I found out quickly that there were lots of flaws to the app that was irritating the heck out of me. Like if you played a title that started with any letter, say a "B" (I look at the drive displayed as folders) as soon as you hit stop, it would suddenly show that title in the letter "O" spot instead of "B". Not only that but would also change the title to seemingly random characters/letters/numbers (didn't actually change the file name, only the listing in it's own display). Well the Chromecast with Google TV, VLC app, didn't do this at all. On top of that, I have all the other stuff/apps and more, that the other 2 had as well. I will be hooking a wireless keyboard and mouse up to it in a few days. I'm sold it's just the best of all of them combined and more.

    My TV has Chromecast built in but it was 720p so TV and movies looked quite pixelated, with this device, I can watch stuff in 4K. (Your TV, HDMI cord, and HDMI ports in the TV have to support it). I also like the simple remote.
