    Love the Google TV software and the smoothness of it. Wish they would have worked a little more in the remote. It helped buying a case for it as it was very small and slippery. Couldn't get a good grip.

    Love this new chromecast. Ive been buying them since they came out and this is the best. Throw a ethernet adapter in the cart too if you dont like depending on wifi. Only complaint is the remote is small and matches most of my bedding, so it can get lost easy haha.

    One of the better steaming devices

    Great way to stream, and the can stream HBO Max, which is something Roku or the Fire Stick don't do. That might not be important to some people. I also use YouTube TV for my streaming service, giving up the more costly Directv service. Anyway, the only negative is the small remote. It takes a while to use.

    Great Concept, but not ready for Home Theaters!

    Poor Performance when connected to Home Theater Receiver Yamaha RX A8A to use with Home Theater Setup. Couldn't be fast enough to switch display between this and another source. Same receiver took inputs from Apple TV 4K and Xbox 360 without skipping a bit. Called google support to help provide some assistance on what could be going on with Chromecast with Google TV 4K, but they gave and offered to send this one back to them before sending me a another one. While they may be good about their word in sending me a new device, I didn't feel like going through the hassle. Cons: low storage. If you have 10-15 apps you'd like to load up on this, then it leaves no room for cache it needs to store and eventually max out, so it would lead to poor performance later regardless. There are way to add storage. See countless videos on YouTube. But you run risk of further performance delay when it needs to high bandwith for read/write and display. When it did work for me, the HDR made the entire display poor. 4.4.4 setup on this couldn't even handle it. Apple TV 4K works without skipping a beat. pros - having remote with assistant button is great as it can help you with your existing home automation with google home. May be nVidia Shield could be a better option if one needs "Android" echo system. Other options may be Fire TV 4k Stick or Cube. This one is now used for my old "dumb" TVs! May be should utilize my totaltech membership on this! Wonder what would BestBuy has to say about this device being returned to them and getting new one on the spot!

    great device! Love the fact that i can control my tv or surround sound volume with the volume buttons and turn on/off as well. Great for different profiles to have the kids watch only approved channels.

    Useful for streaming HBO Max

    I bought this for a limited purpose: to be able to stream HBO Max, which is still unavailable on the Roku boxes I already owned. It's been fine for that purpose, It's also useful for screencasting from my Android phone and Chromebook, since their Google-created operating systems don't play well with Roku.

    Love how Assistant is so tightly integrated with the experience. The only thing I don't care for, is the remote is slippery! It is a dry, soft-touch coating, which (particularly in these winter months) feels like it could slip out of my hand if I'm not careful! Otherwise, I highly recommend this unit!

    I bought two of these and they were a great addition to both TVs in my house. I did have to utilize the power cord for both applications of use. The chromecast works flawlessly with Google Home and adds additional functionality to power off TVs if they are left on while no one is using that TV.

    Really a great device. Cast to it like the classic chromecasts, or use the remote and run apps directly (like you can with Roku, FireTV, etc). Really best of both worlds. Runs Android TV apps, so tons of things already available for it. I bought one on launch day, then quickly bought another one as well.

    High learning curve

    I've had a new Chromecast every time a new one has come out and the quality of this one seems to be just as good. The look and hook-up ability are much better in my opinion that they have had been in the past. While good, I'm only giving it 4 stars because it is way too complicated to use and figure out how to do even the simplest of things. The learning curve is way too large with not nearly enough instructions.

    Best streaming device I've used. Fast, supports all major services, and the voice search is flawless. I wish it had better integration (search) with some services, such as Vudu, but it's the best, all-in-one solution I've used. I've ordered 4 more since my initial purchase, for other rooms and as gifts.

    After purchasing many different firesticks, fire cubes, etc... We switched to the Chromecast! It's such a breeze compared to others, nice layout too. I like how it automatically connects to your Google play store account and can charge the card on file whenever you're purchasing something.

    This is our second Chromecast. Bought this one to replace Alexa Cube we had been using. Easy set up and great compatibility of the remote with your existing devices.
