    Easy to set up, easy to use. I have android so I'm use to the operating system. Can use control to control TV, inputs, on/off, volume. Many apps available on the Google store. I love this better than the Roku interface.

    I have two older Chromecast models. They are very dependable streaming "work horses". I've had this new Chromecast with Google TV for a few weeks. I really like the remote control and Google TV UI. The device is very quick to respond to the remote. Overall, a very good improvement to the Chromecast family. I highly recommend it.

    New Google TV is nice and easy to use. Enhances all the features from the Android TV interface. Powerful for such a small device. It won't beat an Nvidia Shield, but it plays and streams media as well as any box for 1/3 the cost. Nice support for Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision. Easy to use and has the wife acceptance factor.

    Easy setup but volume controls are awkward

    Very easy to setup and get started on a Samsung TV. Using the small remote is easy to accomplish all aspects of App management and operational control for primarily YouTube TV app and HBO Max. The circular wheel to control fast-forward, rewind, stop and start are quite easy to operate. However, the volume controls on the side-edge of remove are difficult to operate because the volume up and down buttons are so small.

    Huge upgrade to just about any TV that is not running Android or Google TV. If your TV is a few years old and the picture/display is still good, then I would highly recommend this product, once you try it, I am sure you will agree. Simple to connect, very responsive and a great value for the money. I found that it is more responsive than a FireTV Stick, and if you have an Android phone, casting to the TV is super easy. The only thing that I wish, is that the voiume control on the remote was bigger or positioned a little better, but that is a minor complaint and I still give it 5 stars. Enjoy.. -aj

    Skeptical first about the white because I meant to buy this for my WeMax UTS prjector. But the build quality is nice. The set-up was so easy and fast. The remote is super responsive. I think, for the price, I paid $39.99 sale price, it was a super-value buy.

    Great streaming device overall!!! Performs much smoother than most in its class and supports 4K and modern audio standards. What's more is that it has THE ASSISTANT!!! Finally, a step closer towards a smart home. However..... There is no built-in volume leveling option. Roku and Fire TV have it and I'm surprised that the engineers and developers at Google overlooked this crucial feature. I have a soundbar system connected to the TV via ARC. Makes it really annoying to watch stuff with inconsistent volume levels, especially at night. This could be easily fixed with a software update. But I hope google does it quick. I'm currently using a Roku stick+. But I'm not going to return the chromecast. The assistant is the feature which made it worth keeping.

    I was already a fan of Chromecast from the first generation. The new remote has led me to use it much more. Makes a great supplement to a Roku for times when media companies are fighting each other over content availability. Also works well in a group with my Chromecast Audio units to play music throughout the apartment.

    We bought a 65” Samsung smart TV last year and while the picture is nice, the apps and interface are terrible at best. This new 4K Chromcast finally allows us to enjoy our tv. Easy to use and navigate, works with google assistants, and so far, no crashes like the built in tv interface and apps.

    Out of all of the streaming sticks and devices I have used, this new Chromecast with Google TV is the best! It is simple to setup and use, and the layout is easy to use. The remote works very well, and it can be paired to work with a TV and receiver.

    I've used almost all the Chromecasts. This is by far the best one yet. Easy to use and set-up. It's all I use to watch TV with. You won't need anything else. The remote works great and you can still use your phone, tablet or computer. I plan on buying another one to replace my old version in the bedroom.

    This is now my go to streaming device. I am really happy that I bought this. Chromecast having a remote is really nice. I like how easy it was to integrate the streaming services I use. Its just very easy to use and set up specifically if you are an android user or already have other google devices.

    The new Chromecast appears to be the ultimate streaming device for all your favorite video subscription services. The setup process from the software side can take a while at first, but is pretty simple to use after that. Only issue I've experienced so far is it does tend to display notifications randomly throughout watching every now and then saying the device has been connected to the internet as if it somehow loses connection with the Wi-Fi then reconnects itself. I haven't had this issues with any other of my devices connected to the Wi-Fi that are even further from the router, and I've even tried disconnecting from the network and manually setting it up again but will still get the notifications popping up in the top right randomly while watching something. Thankfully the stream is never interrupted so its not that big of an issue currently.

    New model coming? Good device - some shortfalls

    If you're reading this, don't buy this version because a new one is expected to come out this year. However, my review of this device as it stands is 4 stars. Positives - Excellent price - The UI gives you a feed of content you may like, from multiple streaming services - Live TV included - Google assistant is helpful (better than Roku) - Speak shows and passwords instead of typing them - Multiple user profiles (unlike Roku) - Some people may find the UI a bit messy. I find it helpful because I don't always need to open an app to find what I want to watch. Less jumping in and out of apps. Negatives - Sometimes a bit slower loading things (it's getting old and new model is expected this year 2024) - The UI is not as snappy and smooth as a $100 Roku or Apple TV

    Google gas finally added a bluetooth/IR remote to their cheap but excellent steaming device. With the newer Android TV interface, scrolling through my video services/apps has never been easier. Setup was a breeze and it's an excellent choice to use with an older television or in rooms that lack cable tv.

    The user interface is very nice. Very intuitive and easy to navigate. I have a smart tv but this is easier to navigate than the homescreen. I like that you can add apps and stay logged into platforms
