    I bought it to get HBOMAX the cheapest option but I love it it’s very quick and I like the android operating system and also the YouTube and all the other channels I can download I would recommend it for those people who don’t have a smart TV or an older TV.

    I bought this to be able to stream Steam on my TV. Although there's lag for gaming(as expected) I can now stream anything I need to my TV and have more apps available to me than were before with just the TV.

    I was pleasantly surprised how polished this first generation of Chromecast with Google TV is. I supposed Google has used the manufacturers of Android TVs to refine the experience. Only a few issues you can overlook, like the main screen starting up a bit slow and then recommending things from services you don’t have. Overall very good though.

    The new 4K Chromecast is a nice update from our older model. It supports all the streaming apps we use, and the user interface is smooth and responsive. So far it's been everything we were hoping it would be!

    I just switched from a 1st gen fire tv cube and it has been great. The chromecast is much more reactive than my fire tv cube and is much lighter on advertisements on the home screen. Casting also works better (as expected)

    Just what I needed. I use Plex to stream media around the house and remotely. My 4k TV can't handle the formats coming from Plex (and I don't want streams transcoded). I tried using an XBOX One but the audio sync is always an issue. I upgraded the video card in my PC to a 4k capable model, but it can't handle HDR content very well. So I started looking at streaming device options. I'm deep in the Google ecosystem so I figured for the price I'd give it a shot. Hallelujah! This thing is awesome. Setup was easy breezy, lemon squeezy. It's been working well, controlling my TV and home theater receiver. The biggest drawback is the size of the remote and button layout. And dedicated play/pause, fast forward, rewind, skip buttons would have been great. I will definitely be buying another unit for another TV!

    After having used a different brand of streaming device that seemed to constantly have issues, I have absolutely loved using my Chromecast. It flawlessly streams the 3 different streaming services that I subscribe to. Very easy to install and setup.

    I was debating between chormecast with google TV or regular chromecast but glad I chose this one. this one changes my older LG smart TV into a new android smart TV. I can control pretty much all TV feature with the chromecast remote. Highly recommended

    This is a fast, smooth, and beautiful streaming device. My only wish is that it had an Ethernet port so I can stream proper 4K content without having to worry about my WiFi being problematic.

    The best choice for streaming

    By far the best streaming stick out there. Far better interface than Roku and Amazon devices, and offers better service compatibility than both. If you are looking to upgrade an aging smart tv or to power up a dumb one, this is your best option, bar none.

    We already loved Chromecast and use the simpler version for our girls’ tv but this is awesome! It’s convenient, easy to use and allows you to choose which apps you have on it instead of preloading them like others do. We will be purchasing another one

    pretty good setup was easy and fast. UI could have been a bit better. Fast streaming compared to fire tv. more stable than fire tv. Would have loved to have the sound button also on the main buttons place rather than side. All in all good device.

    I bought this because my current smart tv interface was very obselete and would crash a lot. I already owned an older chromecast but not with google tv. This was hands down a great decision and I use it literally every day.

    *Almost* my favorite smart TV platform

    I’ve been using the new Chromecast with Google TV for a few months now. The platform is slick, the google assistant is great, and the price point is compelling. Some cons I’ve experienced: the platform hasn’t worked out all the bugs just yet, with Hulu occasionally crashing when selecting ads. Once the kinks are worked out, this might be my favorite!

    This is the best streaming device in the market. A common home page bringing together shows from all the providers and also a universal watchlist. Also the user interface to add other devices that you want to control via the remote is very nicely designed.

    Voice works specifically with YouTube TV

    As streaming devices go, this product is as good as other similar devices. The main reason I bought it is to use with my YouTube TV subscription. It's the only one where the voice control works within YouTube TV. That is with other devices the voice control works on a global level, not within the YouTube TV programing specifically.
