Best 4K streaming device. Fast , you can find all your apps

great device easy to setup works better than a fire stick in my opinion. i like that you can switch to app only mode to cut out all of the paid programing and apps you dont use. overall a great little device 4K with no issues

Probably the best streamer for the money. If you want an affordable option to Roku and Nvidia Sheild, this is your best choice. Easy setup and works well with my Visio Smart TV. Will upgrade my other TV's soon with the new Chromecast.

Easy to install and set up with a solid remote. This is perfect for older non smart tv's and better than a lot of the built in smart tv interfaces out there.

Easy to setup and syncs very easily with any tv. All apps in one place with ease of use however the continue watching feature only works with shows on google or disney but not with netflix or amazon. Would definitely get another one.

I bought this product and also an Apple TV 4K because I wanted to use 4K. Since both items arrived on the same day, I started by unpacking the Chromecast with Google 4K. I felt in love with it immediately. So much so, that I still haven’t unwrap the Apple TV 4K (2nd generation). What I love the best about it is the remote. The device works as expected, great image quality. But the remote. During the initial setup, the remote asked me what type of TV and sound system I have, and now I can use this small remote to turn the TV on/off, mute the soundbar or change it’s volume, in addition to the functions I expected (pause the movie, fast forward, choose another movie, etc). Really well done job. It was worth every penny.

Easy to set-up and use. While I prefer my AppleTV 4K over the Chromecast, the price makes it a great value for additional TV's in the house for which I do not want to spend the extra money for the Apple device.

Device operates quickly and google tv is easy to use. WiFi works well and connection is reliable. Not very much storage and additional apps fills it up fast. Plan on adding USB hub and flash drives to expand it. Some hubs require larger USB power supply. I like the remote. Prefer this over Firestick.

I had an older, but extra, TV after receiving a fancy new TV set. So I had the brilliant idea to repurpose it and make it into a helpful spare. I had read about Chromecast and it sounded perfect. Indeed, it is everything I hoped for. It was easy to install with understandable prompts. And it is magic every time I turn on the old set, find a TV show on my smart phone, and hit the "cast to TV" button. Magic as the show turns up on my TV screen! I haven't explored all the on screen options yet, but the sale price of $39.99 was the best investment I have made in a long time. Magic!

This is my first dedicated streaming device. I thought about a Roku and the original Chromecast, but like the idea of having the Android TV experience. All, in all, I'm happy with the performance and picture quality. While Google TV links with some streaming sites (like Netflix), it doesn't with others (like MotorTrend). What that leaves me with is an incomplete previously watched list. Not a huge deal, but it sure would be nice. The Google TV doesn't care about which family member is using it. It seems like every app I go into wants to know who's watching. If that was set in Google TV, it could tell the sister sites who is watching. It would also be nice to select multiple users so you can get a combined playlist. Just sayn' I had a little issue with the CEC feature. I typically watch TV on my cable box and Google TV would try to (well did) take over the sound going to my soundbar. Very strange. Would I recommend this to a friend. Yes, although they would likely be a Google fanboy and good with electronics. That goes without saying for most streaming devices so Google TV isn't alone.

Good product. Well priced. Aggregating content across your streaming services is worth it. Fast in performance, easy to switch between channels . Voice commands. Easy to setup and use. Switching off does not mean power off.

Fantastic purchase! I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend to use in his home and both him and I absolutely love it! The set up was initially annoying as the internet was not connecting easily. The directions also weren't syncing up with what worked (it came down to us clicking random buttons back and forth and it eventually started working and connecting) *insert shrug emoji* Might have been a user error but eventually we got it to work and it is absolutely AMAZING! I might have to buy my own...or steal his :)

Skip the Firestick, go straight for this. It is SOOO much more responsive than the Amazon offering. It took several seconds sometimes for my Firestick 4K to respond to a remote command. The Google TV responds almost quicker than you can click. The picture quality seems better too, somehow. And for the same price? No contest. Bluetooth connecting with headphones is lightning fast on Google TV. The Firestick took several moments to recognize my headphones were powered on and connect to them. Not so with the Google TV. It connects immediately every time. There was no delay between the video and audio, either. The one thing I noticed that I didn't like is it does take a while to setup with the Google Home app. But you only have to do that once, so...

Better than apple tv for.less then price of apple tv remote. Works 2ell just needs more storage and maybe tiny bit more power.

Bought one to try as both a good device for Google TV and and to see if it would be better than my Roku. This unit plugs right into the back my my TV, and because my TV does not have a newer USB port, I have to run a power cable to it, so it does not look great with my wall mounted TV. I already disconnected the Google TV service as it's really not much cheaper than cable TV and I dislike the menu UI a lot compared to Verizon FIOS. However, as a device to display streaming channels, it's pretty good, and one thing we especially like is seeing movie and TV options from all of the streaming services I subscribe to, instead of loading each service and looking for shows. The remote is OK, and the system is actually more responsive than my Roku (the most powerful of the Roku line), and the voice search works well. The ability to bookmark shows in the main menu seems inconsistent, but I am enjoying the unit overall and it might replace our Roku for good.

This is a great solution for older smart TVs where the screen size/tech isn't out of date but the built in smart TV software may be. Chromecast has a way faster interface and the old smart TV's OS that it is plugged into. The 4K is nice too.

First one that I got was defective and would not boot up fully. Light blinked a bunch but nada on my screen. Went back to the store and traded it for another which worked immediately. So much better than the standard Chromecast. The casting was fine but sometimes it would act funny and the stuff I watched sometimes skipped around even though I had it set up on 5ghz, same as my phone. None of those issues exist with this one. The remote is great and linked up to my A/V receiver (which I got second hand with no remote) allowing me to control the volume. Also I was able to put more apps on this thing, including emulators. So now I can play SNES games with my PS5 controller linked up via bluetooth. It's great.

This Chromecast device is awesome. It's easy to set up and learn how to use. The interface is super easy to navigate. So easy, in fact, that I eventually want to purchase another unit, and would gladly buy it as a gift.

[Employee of bestbuy] Love the device love the store easy to setup great for easy streaming

The BEST that money can buy! I bought this for many reasons: old Smart TV could no longer be updated, added to the Google Smart Home and price. It’s fast, easy to use... the list can go on and on. DEFINITELY worth investing!
