Customer Ratings & Reviews

NOTE: This review is based on only a couple of days of use, but user experience and price have been good UI is easy to use and works quickly and smoothly I had a Roku Ultra? and was very displeased with slow UI, freezing, frames dropping: I have not seen any of this on the Google Chromecsast with Google TV. The Roku was not able to show anything in 4K: blamed it on the HDMI connection not be able to deliver 4K. But the Google Chromecsast with Google TV unit appears to be deivering 4K, or, at minimum, a very sharp picture

Works great for streaming. Some older TV's do not work well with the remote but, the ones that it works with work great. I am using these on three TV's and replaced an other brand. Great for the price!

Mostly pleased with this. Excellent 4k with Dolby. Liked the simple remote. Just occasional slowdowns but ok.

Chromecast was extremely easy to set up. It walked me through the steps and I was up and running quickly! Once setup, it was easy to use!

This is so much better than the original Chromecast and Chromecast Ultra. My only complaint right now is it does not support Stadia which is the reason I only bought 2 not 3 of them. Setup was very easy the controller can control both the volume and power of the tv so that is very convenient. I put one of these in the kids play room and like the fact I can set it to Apps only and locked the menu in the settings so they can not get into the apps I do not want them to have access too. Also with Hulu, Amazon, Netflix, and Plex I have it set to a kids profile so only the stuff I want them to be able to watch will show up on the video list. As far as Stadia I heard there is a why to side load it with an APK so I will be looking into this and see if I can figure it out until it is officially supported.

Best chromecast yet, the added remote, upgraded interface, and faster connectivity make all the difference over the previous models for me.

Ordered this even though we had the first chrome cast. Easy to set up and the added remote is a great bonus. Highly recommend the upgrade!

Great, fast, responsive, simple set up. A nice feature with this device is that it has a watchlist page where you can save any movie or show you would like to watch no matter which streaming platform it is available on. The only issue with this device is that it is skewed towards providing watching options with google. For example, when searching for a specific show or movie instead of listing ALL the platforms it is available on (which Roku does) it will list the platform that is available on if you do not have to pay extra (one that you are already subscribed to), however if its not available in a streaming service you are already subscribed to then the only pay on demand option they list is the google play option. I prefer the Roku which lists all the options and their pricing sorted by least expensive to most expensive. Even though the movie I wanted to pay for was the same price on google play as it was on amazon prime I prefered to watch on amazon prime since I had some digital purchases credit. I could still watch it on amazon prime with the google TV but I just had to go through the app manually. I will keep the google TV but I would recommend the Roku ultra to others instead. Especially if you have an iphone (I do not) since roku recently added air play support. Another point to consider when choosing between the two, Roku ultra has an aux port on the remote to physically connect your earphones whereas with the google TV you can connect with your earphones wirelessly.

Product is easy to set up and use! This older TV was hooked up to an Apple receiver. The control was very touchy which made it hard to stream programs. The Google TV control makes streaming so easy and the voice recognition works perfectly for all voices in our household. The unit is very reasonably priced.

Easy to set up, intuitive interface and lots of apps to customize your experience. Good way to update your existing TV to a smart TV.

I was coming from the chromecast ultra which to me was a great product, but this was way better. With Google now integrating their standalone OS, Google tv, it makes the Chromecast that much more compelling. If you are wondering whether or not it’s worth the upgrade, it is 100% worth it. The new Chromecast introduces the multi-function remote that not only integrates with “hey Google” but also allows you to control the volume and power functions of your tv. For under $55, I can’t see a better streaming device.

I love the Chromecast and I love the free promotions that cam with it

Everything it says it is. Best way to cast from your other devices or use as a smart tv itself. Super simple to use

Great product easy set up and easy to use. I have tried the Roku, fire sticks, and apple TV and this is the best especially for the price

The reviews from CNET and Engadget are correct, this is the best version of the ChromeCast device that Google has produced. The menu interface if a much needed improvement. And, with the remote, I don't need my smartphone to control the content I want to watch. Also, I can watch HBOMax on this device, whereas I can't view on the Fire TV stick. The only thing I wish is that I purchased it earlier for the blue color, which is already sold out at Best But. The white color is fine. A great addition for any cord cutter.

Really loving the Google TV Chromecast. What a great device for a very reasonable price. Very speedy device I might add. Great job Google!

Great alternative to other streaming devices. In particular, I was looking for a streaming device that could playback YouTube videos in 4K HDR 60 fps. Previously I had been using the Roku Streaming Stick+. However, that device would begin stuttering and prompt an onscreen message that it was overheating when playing back the 4K HDR 60 fps YouTube videos. The Google TV also has the latest UI. The only limitations are: - Some users have reported that is limited storage for a bunch of apps and games and there is now way to expand the storage. - You have to use the power supply included. With the Roku, I was able to power it using my TV's USB port.

The picture just seems a bit better than my Roku 4K stick when playing thru my 4K projector. I like that fact that all content keeps my projector in 4K HDR mode unlike the Roku 4K stick which might be the reason. However, it loses a star due to some of the apps like FandangoNow which do not currently play my 4K movie library with surround sound (plays in stereo). Other channels like HBO and Showtime play with surround sound, so I'm thinking it must be an app issue on the Chromecast. However, no problem with that issue using my Roku 4K stick, so for the time being I have both connected to my AVR and use the 4K stick when playing from my movie library, and the Chromecast for everything else.

Easy setup & Clean interface. Much simpler than the fire tv stick.

Fast, superior picture, very easy and intuitive to operate
