    Nice and simple with ease of use. The menu system is so much better than Roku, I was a big fan of Roku.

    FINALLY Google made a device worthy of being something I can recommend to people looking for a device to compete with the Apple TV! At $50 this is an amazing price point!

    Voice controlled remote? Yes, thank you. It saves time. One small gripe, i don't need to use voice control for everything, so the prompts can get irritating.

    Using for a couple years now as the main daily driver device in the HT setup. Inexpensive and works with my harmony hub.

    Love this thing. Ive gotten every version chromecast and prefer them to their competitors like R_k_ and F__estick. But the remote puts it at a whole new level.

    I bought it just to have Chromecast on my TV. I have mixed feelings. Cons: remote is slippery and always ends up between couch cushions, under you, or slipping anywhere but where you left it. This makes you have to change the batteries often because you end uo sitting on it all the time. The buttons are like a slippery rubber, so unlike other remotes, this one slides even when you put it face down. My other remotes don't have this issue. Biggest annoyance with this device, so much so that I wouldn't recommend it for this reason alone. The content this device recommends, has NOTHING to do with your subscriptions nor the apps you have installed!! For example, it recommends a movie. And youd assume it's either part of your subscriptions or apps you have installed. But it is not, not only is it not available for you to watch, but you don't even have that app installed. I don't understand this logic. Not only does it do this, but there is no way to change this in the settings. So you have a device suggesting things you can't watch unless you pay money to an app you're not even using and is not free. For this reason alone, I don't recommend this device. I think Roku doesn't do this, but I haven't used a Roku for a while. Also when you use the Google voice to do a command or search something. The audio is extremely loud, there is no separate volume control for the Google assistant. Pros. It has Chromecast, which surprisingly I don't use often. It's pretty. That's all. Buy a Roku or smart TV. Roku has remotes that have an Aux output which is really cool and doesn't have slippery buttons. Also Roku has a find my remote feature.

    Very nice unit but I don’t find a need to use the Remote as I use my phone. But if you don’t have a smart phone or prefer not to pull out your phone it works awesome.

    Works great on an old non-smart TV, use it for all sorts of streaming services. Works better than a much newer TV with Android TV!

    I purchased a Chromecast when they first came out year ago. I love this upgrade. Once I learned how to operate the remote, it was easy to use. My only issue has been having to login to applications multiple times instead of just the initial time.

    The Google Chromecast was easy to set-up and works great. Especially like the voice control. It's simple to operate and just expand our television watching options.

    This unit is the perfect alternative to an Apple TV. Albeit, no much support for a game library, the connectivity to apps and streaming services alike is brilliant, well executed, and beautifully imagined. Beyond that, the ability to use Google assistant on the fly for everything on Google TV / Chromecast is wonderful. 4K streaming off this device was never simpler, easier, or more welcomed than ever before. If your TV does not already support the multitude of streaming services that are available natively on your TV this is the perfect addition to bring all of that into one device.
