Customer Ratings & Reviews

Really solid alternative to an AppleTV, or a Roku, etc. I'd say the Firestick is better in terms of its usability and interface, but since this includes Chromecast functionality, it is better. I expected it to be a bit quicker and more responsive, but it works well enough. The best part about this vs. a regular ol' Chromecast is the vast majority of apps, including being able to download and use a web browser, eliminating the need to Cast certain content. The only negative is you need to use an outlet to power this vs the built-in USB ports found on most TVs like you can use with standard non GoogleTV chromecasts.

So much better and faster than the Amazon firestick. I wish I purchased this years ago. The Amazon firestick doesn't have that much space so apps load slowly, and sometimes they hang or crash while streaming. This google device gives you access to your Amazon account, so honestly, there's no reason to even own a crappy firestick. Love this device. The other thing that surprised me was the remote automatically synced with my Samsung tv and took over the volume and power buttons. With the firestick remote I had to buy some device called a sideclick attachment that snapped on. I had to manually program the sideclick remote with my tv remote for the buttons to sync with each other. Love my Google tv. Firestick is trash.

I am so glad Google designed this little thing. Works extremely well with our 5 year old hisense tv. Remote is easily programmable and Google does all the work for you. It organizes all of the streaming services you are subscribed to and puts them all on one screen by category. Nifty, awesome little gadget. Remote is extremely handy as it is programmed and can raise/lower volume and also turn on/off the Chromecast and tv simultaneously. Standby mode includes using your photo albums from google photos on your phone. Worth more in my opinion than retail price, for $50 this is a steal.

Great way to make your older tv a bit smarter , once set up it can turn Your tv on and off with included remote or using Google home (voice) or app I currently have it on a 2020 Samsung tv on my back porch

I've used a Chromecasts in the past, and they weren't very good, lots of buffering or connection issues. The addition of Google TV, makes the Chromecast great. The interface is fantastic, and the remote can control your TV.

I run a small business with a focus on Cord Cutting Streaming and OTA support. Up until now I have always recommended Roku streamers. Now my recommendation is solidly behing Google TV. All things considered it is currently the best streamer on the market.

This amazing device exceeded my expectations! It just plug and play, the interface is very friendly and you can install 3rd part apps just following some steps. Besides that, it looks amazing and the remote control is outstanding!

Very please with this purche. I Bought this unit for a second TV in the house that isnt a smart TV. The first generation Chromecast was good and still serves us well in bonus room. This next generation chromcast is way better with it own GUI to navigate various apps without casting, but you cqn cast if that is what you prefer. I prefer using GUI over casting because i get a better experience than casting. My Sony TV remote works it with makes it a seeess experience.

Excellent device to watch all of the various streaming services. I didn't think I would like the remote function as I like using my phone to stream things, but since having the remote I use it all the time. Smooth a fluid to scroll through youtube tv.

I have the original chrome cast and this is by far such an improvement!!! The integration with googles services and the apps available are top notch. Also having a remote to control it especially one that has voice controls is perfect!!!

Wish this would have been what Chromecasts were like when they first released. The remote is such a necessary feature for a streaming device. And this one works great, interface is easy to use. Has all the services, such as HBO Max. Pretty darn nice...

The interface is a lot better then the firestick and Roku. It's also faster and capable of connecting to more accessories. I read about it and decided to try it, nownIm planning on getting two more and getting rid of the firesticks and roku.

Great value for its price. This is easy to use and is almost as quick/snappy as the NVIDIA SHIELD TV, but at a fraction of the cost. The remote is also top notch, and can be configured to work to control your TV or soundbar via HDMI CEC or IR sensor.

Perfect for any TV, or monitor, you want to turn into a Google TV device. The response is quick. Setup was a easy. The interface is very nice. The one downside is the lack of multiple account support. I hope they can update this in the future.

Easy way to connect everything at home you get a lot for your money. User friendly and outstanding performance. The only thing I would complain is the quality of the controller buttons they change color too quickly other than that amazing product.

Really easy to set up. I was able to get 4K DolbyVision to stream through HBO Max onto my LG CX OLED, though I had trouble getting DolbyVision to work on other apps like Netflix and Disney+. If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative to something like an Apple TV, or you prefer the Google/Android ecosystem, this is for you.

I had an old chrome cast unit and trying to download and view a you tube video was impossible. I bought this unit at best buy and it 's great and does so much more. It beats my other streaming units, hands down. I don't need any of the other units.

Very simple to install, setup, and use. We used this to get an older flat screen television to gain access to streaming services, but we find ourselves turning accessing it through voice commands just as much as using it for streaming. :)

I Love this Chrome-cast! It was very easy to set up use the streaming feature! I use it more than my cable box! Easy to stream from my phone and I-Pad. I can stream and still use my phone! Bertolucci S.

Probably better than an AppleTV for the money. Adding a remote is a game changer and the user interface is fantastic. I was a little nervous about cutting cable and not having a box below my TV but now I have more stuff to watch then ever before.
