    It was easy to set up and was able to watch shows within minutes. The controls are easy to navigate once you get the hang of it. The mute button is right next to the power button which can be problematic for some people. Overall, a good product!

    Google Tv is a gamechanger. I have a smart tv, but opted to use this instead as it is MUCH faster and keeps everything all in one UI. I can also game on it

    Google nailed this one! This is so simple and easy to use that you don't even have to lookup the instructions online. Only complaint is that remote is a bit slippery but you can get a cover with some grip online for a few bucks.

    4K Chromecast: Excellent

    Has all the smart apps, but most modern smart TVs have the apps anyway. Most importantly, it allows me to cast in 4K from my computers and devices to the TV. It does this very well. Inexpensive and simple to install and easy to use. Highly recommend.

    Great product!!! If you have an older smart TV that is slow to launch app like Netflix or other subscriptions app. This will be perfect you. Chromecast Google TV is fast responsive and it will make your TV feel new again.

    This thing is so much better than the old Chromecast! It does need to be plugged in the wall and not the TV, the remote controls the TV vol as well! Has all sorts of pre loaded apps and services.

    Read the reviews, seemed the perfect option to access HBO Max. Very easy to use and access all content from different apps in one place. Costs a little more than Roku or Fire Stick but I think it is my favorite. The downside, the remote, I wish it had a more robust remote. Hard to hold while using at times.

    Cut the cord finally and this device made it much easier. Very good integration with YouTube TV and easy to use remote once you get used to it. Google support is great as well. One of my other TV's is a Roku one and I like the interface of the Google Chromecast with Google TV much much better. Highly recommend.

    Great device... Takes all of your streaming services and blends them together in an easy to navigate suggestion based home screen. Seems to start streams fast than all of the other sticks and chromecast that I have owned. I highly recommend, especially if you are a cord cutter with multiple streaming subscriptions.

    Huge upgrade from the last few chromecasts (which i also loved) The remote is useful and I was also able to program my harmony remote to work with the unit as well (you have to define it as a fire stick). The real big improvement is the multi-app watchlist which makes getting back to your shows a trivial matter.

    I bought this for my kids tv. I love it works better than the older version of chrome cast. Works faster,no lag. Only issue I have is there's no quick way to exit an app like before. So when one happens to act up I literally have to go to settings and go from there to foreclose the app. Also with a restart button no quick and easy way to restart the device itself.

    I have always had FireSticks or TVs with Chromecast built in. This new addition of "Google TV" is pretty awesome. Looks very similar to the layout of FireTV, but as a Google fan I much prefer this. The clicker is a bit hard to keep track of though.

    My Dad loves watching his Youtube videos. This one came with a controller, compared to his previous 1st Gen Google Chromecast. Plug and play. All you have to do is connect it to your home wifi and you can start watching instantly.

    I like the user interface alot, but unfortunately it doesn't incorporate my services all to well. The remote is absolute junk. It's the length of my middle finger and really not that wide either. It's very awkward to hold. Why Google didn't use their own G20 remote is mind baffling. I thought i would like the device, but it got unplugged and put back in the box.

    This is How You DO Streaming Google...

    If you're looking for a great streamer running Android and don't want to spend the money on an Nvidia Shield, this is definitely the way to go. Love the Google TV interface (does need more integration with more apps for the "Ways to Watch" feature to be able to curate more content). I would like the option to have the UI on my Nvidia Shields. 4K HDR playback is good. Will say that there are some apps that needed to be updated with some not supporting Atmos currently (Disney + and Movies Anywhere) and VUDU does not support 4K or Dolby/Digital/Atmos at present. Also, the Apple TV app is not supported. This is not a lack of features of the device, devs just need to update the apps. For those looking to sideload apps, it can be done. Just google "enable developer options chromecast with google tv." The remote control is on the small side and does feel a little flimsy compared to a Fire Stick Remote if that's what you've been using. It does work well although you will not have individual Play/Pause or fast forward/rewind buttons. Overall, great streamer, especially for the price.

    I purchased this as a Christmas gift. I needed something affordable and easy to use. Once you sign in with your existing gmail account you have access to the google play store. I chose this over roku because of the large collection of apps, ease of use (parents)
