    Great item. I have an older smart tv that couldn't get some of the newer apps on it. With this item I get them and a whole lot more.

    The new Google chrome 4k is amazing. The features and benefits make this a top pick in my book for streaming boxes. I love the voice command features the utilize the remote control voice command button, but also the Google home integration that allows you to tell Google to do functions for you. This box allows you to link most, if not all off your other streaming services, and creates a home hub of all movies and shows integrated into one interface. If you want better functionality, and a seemless hub of streaming services, get it. You won't be disappointed!!!

    This is a considerable improvement over the old Chromecast, and it works much more like a Roku or Fire Stick (your phone isn't needed).

    Feels a little slow at times, but love the interface and quality. Google integration runs deep and search function is top notch. Also like the ability to change tv inputs.

    I had Roku prior to buying this one & for whatever reason this one has a problem staying connected to my wifi, and no I haven’t changed internet providers, its been the same since my Roku was hooked up. That's my only complaint. I like having the voice command, makes it easier & quicker to get to what I want to watch.

      Hello Kicks, thank you for your feedback. To enhance your Chromecast connection and performance, please try the following steps:

    Really impressed with the device speed and flexibility. Not impressed with Google hiding important parts. There is no Play store icon and really no way to add one. Therefore, you can't easily update apps. It is sort of Android for dummies. To get to the play store you have to ask the Assistant. It really is kind of a bare bones interface designed to be minimal. But the bottom line is it works but has no good native browser or way to side load apps easily which seems to be what they intended. Like all Android devices (I also have a Shield) it does have issues at times with Dolby Vision content from Disney+ and others. It struggles with frame rate matching and that seems to be pretty well documented.

    Google's competitor to Amazon's Firestick...I like the ease of use and remote. Love the expanded functionality compared with the Google Chromecast.

    OS similar to Apple TV

    I like this because the OS is pretty similar to that of an Apple TV and this is inexpensive compared to that. 4 stars because sometimes there is a lag when you directly open apps like YouTube and Netflix which have a button.

    The Google TV OS is great, and I enjoy making an older TV connect to my Google Home. The 4K streaming quality isn’t as good as other 4K devices such S the Apple TV, but this is a lot cheaper too.

    This new version of Chromecast is a solid way to add streaming to any TV. The compact remote fits onto any table, and it can even turn your TV on and off with its CEC functionality.
