Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you have a TV that isn’t smart or just has a bad UI, this will make a huge difference. Not to mention the remote is so nice because the device doesn’t rely on your phone, and if your phone isn’t connected it can still be used. It’s cheap enough to justify and it comes with such smooth OS. the only problem I had was the remote disconnected one night and we had to factory reset.

I recieved it yesterday. Followed the instructions and passwords and had no problems. So far no buffering like my old one and no freezing like the old one. I love the fact that it controls the tv and has all the major apps i use right on the front of the remote.

The best upgrade the Chromecast has received, with a fully fledged Smart TV UI with a minimalistic remote, with google assistant built-in and all its home automation features.

The new mode with a remote is interesting, the Google TV interface is nice, but the Chromecast integration causes me certain failures that I haven't had with the Chromecast Ultra, like when my Netflix profile has a password, I can't manage it from my cell phone, I absolutely need the remote control. There is latency in the audio when listening via Bluetooth when watching something in 4K.

Very easy to use. The quality 4k is pretty good but it doesnt get 4k HDR. Work well for most TVs but i notice the reduce in quality on QLED 82 inch TV.

Love how fast the responsiveness is of the Google TV! And setup was super easy and guided all the way through. Just be prepared to have to set up each individual app which can be tedious. Remote has volume controls on the side which is a bit awkward. Having the remote is very handy though!

This is awesome device that can transform old TV to smart TV. It is easy to setup and use, response time is quick. You can also set up power and volume on the remote control so no need the original TV remote. The best part is you can switch between youtube and Netflix quickly.

Nice interface. Nice to not have to manually switch between 12 different stream services. Voice command is a nice touch. Bought this because native netflix and hulu apps on tv stopped getting updates and subsequently stopped working. $50 for this was better than an entire new tv.

I have tried all the different streaming devices out there and found this Chromecast w/Google TV to be the best. I like it so much - I have 4 myself and also have bought them as Xmas presents for others.

I bought this for my daughter's tv in her room. It's better than the original Google Chromecast now that it has a controller. Easy to use and not bad of a price. The only minor complaint is that you have to plug it in to the wall outlet. I'm used to the Amazon fire stick or Roku stick where you just plug in the stick to the USB port on your tv

I loved chromecast for years... But this one is the best. It's actually like having a Roku TV without going out and buy one. Being able to access movie apps without picking up your phone (once you set it up). It's only $50 bucks, give it a spin... You won't feel like you've wasted your money.

The newest chromecast is a vast improvement over the older models. The addition of a dedicated remote is long overdue. The main complain that I have is that the navigation buttons are too easy to press and take you places where you didn't intend to go. The Google TV interface could use some work too.

Take the functionality of an android set top box and release it at a price lower than even the Chinese can offer their versions. Great piece of hardware if you're already ingratiated in the Android ecosystem and even if not, it's easy to use and offers a number of fratures. This kills Roku.

This is way better due to the remote. It's easy for those that don't have cell phones or those that are not tech-inclined. I am so happy with this Chromecast.

Google finally got streaming right! Love the comprehensive yet simple and friendly user interface. Knocked out down one star because it has issues with casting from the Oculus VR (very laggy at best and disconnects frequently); I have to cast to the basic 'non Google TV' Chromecast (not Chromecast Ultra btw), which is still has a little lag but much less, and doesn't disconnect.

Coming from the old chromecast this is a huge uograde just in being able to stream instead of cast. Not having to have all the streaming apps on your phone is worth the upgrade alone.

Excellent item! Very easy to set up and once done, you're enjoying your shows. I hooked it up to an older computer monitor (no speakers) so I did have to get an HDMI splitter to get audio to my eternal speakers, but since it is plugged in series, there was no problem hooking it up.

I got this for my smart tv because my smart tv is a little older and doesn’t have all the streaming apps. This new chromecast allows me to watch YouTube and Disney+ on my tv. It’s a great value compared to Apple TV and I love the mic remote.

I have saved a ton of money on my monthly bills thanks to buying one of these and being smart about how I use it. I loved my Firestick but I feel this lets me have more options and it better integrates into my household stuff since I've been primarily using Google anyway.

Works very well with our LG smart TV. Set-up was easy - it was almost plug and play. Channel choices are excellent.
