    It has replaced my Chromecasts

    It is more than a Chromecast with a remote. I appreciate the google tv interface and the remote is easy to use. I love that I do not need to use my phone or tablet with the Chromecast with Google TV. My only issue is that some apps like the Watch Spectrum app do not have a downloadable abpp for the device yet.

    This has to be the best dashboard I've come across and I have played with LG, samsung, roku, fire. The dashboard does a great job at customizing your preference and recommended shows and movies located in all streaming media programs all in one place. It's very easy to use. Makes old tvs feel new. Highly recommended.

    OMG! This is the device that I've been waiting for. No more looking at the live guide on my cell phone. The remote gives a great guide that leaves you feeling like you're watching "real" tv from a real service. Also, YouTube, Netflix and Amazon items are right there to watch too seamlessly. Why is this cheaper than the previous Chromecast?

    I only bought this so I good voice-command free Youtube music videos. Works great! Just say "unforgettable fire live video" to play a U2 live performance ... so cool. I'm sure if you have a lot of paid apps it's even better. Setup is a breeze. I just ordered another one for my brother. I just wanted to make sure it worked well ... it does!

    This is my second chromecast, but my first Chromcast TV. I decided to upgrade after my dad got one. It’s super easy to use. I love that you can integrate it with the sound bar easily. The remote is easy to use and understand and I love being able to use the apps on the tv rather than casting shows from my phone or computer!!!

    Wonderful breath of all streaming services. Annoying that I cannot use my TV's USB port to power it. The picture and sound are not as good as my Apple TV 4K, but the cost for this device is way lower and very good. Certainly better user interface than my TV's OS, and if you have a Google Nest speaker, you can set this up for some degree of voice commands. I would recommend.

    Excellent customer service from BestBuy. The Google Chromecast is easy to set up and perform as described. I am saving like $15 per month in my xfinity bill for the 2 I bought from BestBuy. Honestly, get it and stream to your TV if you don't have a smart TV. TV pictures are noticeably sharper. Good investment and a nice to have.

    I really like the chromecast, especially the remote with the microphone for verbal commands. It loads a little slower than going through the television itself but it's worth the wait. It also programmed very easily to use with my Polk soundbar, which it turns on and off with the television. I would recommend it to all my friends.

    This is a great melding of all my services into an interface that makes it easy to navigate. I used to start watching a show and then forget which service it was on. Now If I watch something from Hulu, Netflix, HBO, etc. it shows in my recently viewed and is easily accessible.

    This product is the only one you ever need to buy for smart tv applications. Works on everything all built on the same platform for ease of use. I love the way the default skin looks works and operates. If you don't have one you need to purchase one, especially if you already have google voice installed in your current home setup.

    Google Ecosystem Must Have

    The Google Chrome cast with TV delivers in every way. The setup is a breeze, the user interface is straightforward. If you have a Google ecosystem in your home and use android phones the chromecast pulls it all together. Download your favorite android apps to your TV, listen your music playlist from your preferred music service.

    I've used the fire stick, Roku & the original chromecast device, but this one is the best overall in every way. The UI is excellent, remote easy to use (even though it's a little slippery) and I can use the remote to control other google home connected devices. I have it connected to my smart tv and it's like having a whole new TV.

    I love this version of the chrome cast. Since you have a remote, you don’t need to go through the trouble of using your phone to set it up. It’s ability to not only cast other devices but also has apps on it for the most common services, makes it even better. It is very responsive and let’s not forget 4K.

    So happy with this

    This product has a lot more performance packed into it than one would think. So far I have been very happy with it and will be getting another. Performs better than most of the smart TV built-in OS's. The remote is small (and can slip from the hand quickly) and performs all the needed functions. This easily paired with my LG TV and Sony receiver volume, but not the receiver power, so I have just leave that on. Also, integration with my existing Google home mini smart speaker was a dream. Basically set up itself. There have been several questions on whether to get the HD vs. 4k. I went with the 4k, just because of the additional memory and processor. I'm sure they both work great though. I got this for $50, wish could have got for $30-40 to make it easier to justify additional TV's around the house. Still very happy overall Enjoy

    We were using Roku for a few years and I was getting aggravated at how slow they were. I bought 2 of these Google TVs and we love them. I really like the interface and the speed is great. As far as I am concerned it is much better than any of the other streaming devices I have tried. Plus its cheaper. I would definitely recommend.

    Giving Roku a run for their money

    I've been a big fan of Chromecast since launch, my home is full of different generations of Chromecasts and Chromecast Audios. I love to fling content from my phone to my TV or speakers, and screen-mirroring from my phone or laptop is top-notch. But without a remote and and 10-foot interface, that's all they were good for, until now. With the Chromecast with Google TV, it can be promoted from secondary to primary streaming device. The new Android TV OS is slick and pretty, making Roku feel dated. The device is so new that there are still some glitches to be ironed out, but the app selection is great. I'm not throwing out my Roku Streaming Stick+ yet, though. A lot of apps work a bit better, or different, between the Roku and Android platforms. Some apps let me watch live TV on the Roku version of the app, but not the Android TV (I think CBS was the example?) The remote is cute, but it's small and light, doesn't really feel substantial. Roku wins in this department, hands down. And while it's not expensive, the Roku Streaming Stick+ can regularly be found for $10-$20 when it's on sale, something I've never seen for this device.

    Excelent product. Comparable to Xiami Mi Box in capabilities but smaller, cheaper and with a better remote control. It's great that the remote control has IR capabilities to turn on the tv and change it's input. The only con is that it need to be plugged to the wall as it can't work with the watts provided by the tv USB ports.
