With different colors, you won’t mix up your remotes, should you have multiple remotes. Sync your tv and sound system to remote. Remote also works with Bluetooth, so you never have to worry about pointing it directly to the tv. Simple design. Plenty of apps you can download. Apps like Hulu, AppleTV, YouTube TV, Netflix, ESPN, Disney+. You can also rent movies thru GooglePlay. One complaint is the remote gets out of wack. Sometimes looses connectivity and will have to power cycle the device. Buttons will stop restonding. You will have to reset the system once a month or two.

I really like the Chromecast with Google TV. I had been using the Google - Chromecast Ultra 4K Streaming Media Players on several TV setups but wanted a way to control the volume on my Denon AVR and the Chromecast with Google TV does just that. It took me a while to figure out how to do that without using CEC but I was able to do it without using Anynet + CEC through ARC on my Samsung TV. I have been having problems with Anynet + CEC through ARC on my Samsung not working properly with my Denon receiver. Note that I also have a TiVo Stream 4K device for which I have yet been able to control volume with its remote without CEC being enabled. I also have Roku ULTRA devices which work great and a Apple TV 4K which is very expensive and I hate its remote. It is a tossup between the Roku ULTRA and the Chromecast with Google TV - 4K but you can't cast to the Roku devices. I ended up using both devices

Great product. One of the best streaming devices out right now for the price. Have not had any issues with it. Loads fast and plays everything we need. Remote controls everything from TV to soundbar so no need for multiple remotes either.

This Chromecast is small, and easy to use with a nice remote. I prefer Android TV over most other smart TV OS out there. I have an LG TV and I use the Chromecast instead because it feels more fluid and has more features.

Overall excellent. Really like you can use an Ethernet connection or Wifi and both connect easily. Roku has a better homepage interface more like a Tablet or Cell Phone screen. The Google puts the apps all in a horizontal row and you have go through the row to get to the one you want. That is countered some by being able to use your voice to open an app however. The Google has some apps I use Roku does not. It moves between screens and apps quite quickly.

old chromecast bit the dust on last move, so picked up another - the remote was really handy. setup was easy and I had it up and running with netflix, hulu, peacock etc really quickly.

I have purchased multiple Fire Sticks for TV's throughout the house. I find them to be incredibly slow/sluggish and you are bombarded with advertisements. In comes the Chromecast. It costs a few bucks more but is far more responsive. The remote is great and the advertisements are down to a minimum (there are settings for this where fire stick does not). I own two NVidia Shield TV's and they are by far the best set top box, but they come at a premium cost. I own 3 fire sticks and will gladly get rid of them as soon as they die. The chromecast is the perfect middle of the ground device.

I have Roku boxes and now this Chromecast. I like much better the layout and it shows me movies available on other channels right in front and I can choose. very fast love the little remote and very responsive

Super easy to use and install. Would definitely get the one with the remote. Bought it to use with YouTube tv and it works perfectly. Have them on 5 tv’s. Very happy with this purchase and I was able to get rid of cable.

One of the best additions I bought for my smart tv It’s fast and the remote control is way better than the Samsung remote control

Very good deal, It's basically a slightly different Android TV, but it's fast, works well, and even better, you don't have to switch remotes. Much better deal than Fire or Roku sticks. Even better if you have a Google based smart home.

I've been using Chromecasts since the first version and have loved them with one exception, they lacked a remote. The Chromecast with Google TV is almost a perfect streaming device. It seems to handle everything I throw at it. The interface is very fast and clean. The assistant button is the best feature IMO because it helps you to quickly start watching what you want without hunting around for it. I use Plex and I was hoping it would search my Plex library, but that doesn't seem to be the case which is a bummer but not a huge deal. This handles Dolby Vision/Atmos which is a big deal to me since my LG OLED tv supports both formats. It also supports HDR 10. Overall, this is a solid device and you won't be disappointed coming from any other device such as Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, or the older Chromecasts.

Works as intended. Designed well, as the device sits behind your TV, out of sight. The remote is a welcome addition to the Chromecast. Could use a little more storage, but gets by for the limited TV/entertainment apps.

Amazing and fast easy to use and a addition of a controller is amazing although I would say that the controller is really sensitive so there’s a lot of miss clicks and also slips a lot off of my hands but other then that it’s perfect

I really like the new interface and the top picks the Google Chromecast has. I have all my apps in one place and I can use Google Assistant to open up the apps and search for movies with me voice. It now comes with a remote and that's really awesome. I recommend Google Chromecast to anyone.

Very impressed. Typical, easy set up through google home. Ability to search across streaming services is wonderful. UI is a huge improvement from classic android tv. Looking forward to Google TV being imbedded in Sony, Hisense natively.

Great 4k streaming device. Still use it today. Just needs updates every now and then but super responsive and easy to use.

The hardware change from the 3rd Generation (2018 version) is the addition of the remote (with a built in microphone) as well as a ton of new features. The biggest feature is Google TV which is the built in app where you can navigate through all your media content connected to your Google acocunt. It even has access to Apple TV. Additional features such as the USB-C port on the bottom can be expanded by connecting it to an expansion dongle where you can add anything from flashdrives, controllers, to webcams. Throw in a Google home/hub to the mix and you can automate your TV to your smart home usimg the routines feature. The one downside is the need for a subscription service to connect to the account if you want the best experience out of this device such as (but not limited to) Youtube Premium or Youtube TV. It will absolutely still work without it.

The best decision chromecast ever made so far. The best interface on all streaming devices. The addition of the remote is good too but not the best (FireTV remote). It has all of the apps and customization for the viewer's pleasure.

Got it for my boyfriend for Christmas and he loves it. Very easy to use and set up. He loves that you can access movies and shows from different services under one platform. Much easier to use than switching from service to service.
