    Great device. Much better than firestick 4k. Better picture quality, no buffering, and google tv is great. Switched from ATT now (was a beta tester and got a great discount) Google tv is way better! Device is easy to set up. and works as it should!

    This new Google Chromecast with Google TV is the device I have been waiting for. Google really needed a device with a remote and they delivered. I love the interface and how intuitive it is. Having Google Assistant is a bonus. Highly recommend it.

    A must have item. It controls not only the chromecast, but the tv it self. The volume and power is also controlled with this amazing control. This new chromecast is fast. Mush faster than the previous model. Great product. I would recommend.

    Probably the easiest instant Smart TV upgrade Item you can add to your home. The voice feature is awesome. being able to cast stuff from your phone to your TV is an added bonus. Remote is very tiny and easy to lose.

    ChromeCast super easy to install, practical installs itself! The remote offers all functions plus voice command making it easy to navigate the programming. Chromecast turned old TV into a smart TV!

    This baby has been great for the spare room tv. This has turned an old tv into a great Google TV, which caused me to purchase a new TCL google tv series 6 (see other review). Once you do the initial setup, the dongle will login to your services if they have saved passwords in your android phone. If you don't it's not the worst interface to type in passwords either. Keep in mind this is a lower end device, I also own an Apple TV so I can tell the difference in speed, but this little box can hold it's own. the way it culls suggestions from your different services and puts it on the main screen is fantastic, I hope Google make a higher end google TV box.

    This is a great streaming device, likely the best I've seen for the price. The interface is very fast and Google Assistant is responsive. I'm able to use a wide range of apps. Very easy set up including remote controls and soundbar control. The remote feels very comfortable to use. I wish this had some sort of Ethernet connectivity. Wifi is great but would prefer to use a solid connection. This is sitting in back of my outdoor TV. Haven't used it yet in extreme weather but hoping it holds up.

    I have been looking for an inexpensive replacement to a dying Nvidia Shield TV and finally settled on the Chromecast with Google TV, after trying both Fire TV and Apple TV devices. We use Youtube TV, which is neatly integrated into this device as a top level "Live" tab that lets you browse the channel guide without launching the app. The Chromecast also effortlessly sets up its remote to control your TV's power and volume, so you don't need to juggle multiple remotes just to start watching something. At half the price of some of the Apple TV and Fire TV devices, this is a great value.

    A solid device with pros and cons

    Nice UI. Love that the remote has physical buttons for YouTube and Netflix, my most frequently-used streaming services. The Google assistant integration is fantastic. The Disney+ app interface is laggy. The remote itself is too slippery and not very comfortable/easy to hold as a result. The Roku remote is much better to hold in hand.

    This replaced my $200 Nvidia shield, the remote is very compact and intuitive. The OS is snappy and easy to use. I bought one for every room of the house and even gave some as gifts. For streaming content/casting, this can't be beat.

    This is the easiest, fastest, best laid out streaming device out there. I have used roku, Apple TV, smart tv Android systems and tizen and this blows all of them away. 4K, hdr support, voice control, and all at a great price.

    I've had this for 6 months now and no complaints. Performance is great and obviously does not take up any space. The interface is pleasant and easy to use and intuitive enough for what you need it to do. No complaints here

    Good Streaming Device

    I feel this is a decent streaming device for the price. I purchased it because the only way I could cast from my Google Pixel 8 Pro to my LG tv without third party apps and glitches was with this device. So far, no issues. When streaming from the device, it doesn't lag, shows good 4k, but the Home Screen is not very customizable.

    I'm really impressed with this! I've had other chromecasts, but this one was really easy to set up and I was really impressed with how easy it was to pare with my older TV. The Remote is easy to use and I'm really happy that I bought it!

    Excellent product. Easy setup/use. Decent remote. All the apps you'll ever need. Immediately fired up Far Cry 5 on Stadia and it played without a hitch. This Chromecast can't be beat at this price. I would have paid more.

    Best Streaming Device!

    I think I have every streaming device out there... Shield TV Pro, Apple TV, Chromecast, Roku, Fire TV... This one is the best, when you factor in price. If price isn't an option, I would highly suggest the NVIDIA Shield TV with 4K AI upscaling, wired Ethernet, and GeForce's Game Stream. But most people probably don't need all that and would prefer to purchase something at least 1/3 or the price. This is that device. New Google TV UI on top of Android TV looks good. Tons of recommended content instead of just apps in your face. But if you want apps, they still got them as you can download almost any app from the Android TV ecosystem. Highly recommended product!

    Saving $90 a month with Chromecast

    Works great--turned my 10-year old dumb TV into a really SMART TV. I first purchased the Chromecast without its own remote, which you have to operate from your smart phone. That was too difficult for me so I took that one back and bought this one. Plugged it in and all of a sudden I had all the apps you could ever want, listed on my TV screen. I opted for Sling Blue for watching most of my favorite cable channels, like CNN, and I already had an Amazon Prime account. Then I disconnected my Spectrum cable box and cancelled the cable part of my account. My bill instantly dropped from $200 to $90 a month. My only complaint with the Chromecast is the size of the remote. It is so small that when you try to use the volume buttons on the side with your thumb, there is nothing left to help in your hand.
