    A whole lot better than the first and second generation Chromecast. I love that it has a built-in Google assistant and all you have to do is speak on the remote and it does it search.

    It needs more storage. I don’t House anything on the default 8gb and I can’t keep all streaming apps installed. Otherwise the search feature is game changing. Could use more cpu power.

    I own both Roku and Chromecast devices. The good thing about Chromecast is being able to use HBOMax which is still unavailable on Roku. It also communicates well with my google home. The only negative is that the remote is too small. Otherwise it's a great device.

    Bought this mainly to stream HBOMax as Roku doesn't support that app. Also bought the Tivo Stream 4K and found the Chromecast with Google did a much better job with HRD and Dolby Vision.

    Took an hour plus to set up. No such thing as plug in and ready to go. Casting is great once it’s set up and lots of choices. 5 stars if it was a simple setup.

    I have always loved the Roku but the fact that the Chromecast can now search so effortlessly across apps makes it the new king for me. Yes Roku can kind of do this but not nearly as well.

    A very complete media hub, almost any app you can get on the Play Store you can get it through here. And wirh the soon addition of Apple+ this is a must have for any TV in your house.

    Great streaming device, I like that it supports dolby vision too. 4k in some apps is not supported even it supports it, probably the software. Give it time since it was just released.

    I got this as an upgrade to my first generation Chromecast so I could use that one on another TV. This one is great including the Google TV usage.
