    Easy Setup, the Google Chromecast was a breeze to set up. The channels that you can access are a more broad quantity than regular cable. I cut the cord with spectrum and don't regret it not one bit we only use their company for internet after years of wasting money on their TV lineup package and a phone that we did not utilize.

    This is a great improvement over the previous edition chromecast device, which I now have on another TV in the house. The remote is fantastic and works so much better to surf through different streaming services and get recommendations. It is also more reliable to use, as the streaming was often hit or miss on the previous chromecast with my phone not always recongizing the device or not establishing a connection after selecting it.

    I have been using the original Chromecast and decided to bite the bullet with this version. I have to say my experience so far has been an upgrade to the original. The device is quick to set up, recommendations as all things Google work great for the shows and movies. Integration with my smart home set up was a cakewalk. The remote controller is a wee bit tiny for my hands but otherwise 10/10 from me.

    [Employee of bestbuy] We have a samsung tv. It was slowing down. Plugged this in and made it much faster thanks to recpmmmdations of a few co workers. Grandma found a french tv ahow that wasnt reqlly available xfinity wise so that was also a plus!

    Easy set up, I like how the apps are laid out on screen. Note:Seems it was defaulted to lower quality video, once I changed in settings to do video based on source, the colors intensity really increased to true HDR. Initial default setting made colors look washed out compared to same movie through my Roku box, now it looks as good as my Roku output, but I can watch HBO Max thru the Chromecast, whereas I couldn't get that app/channel thru Roku.

    Love this so far! We're looking to cut the cord from cable TV, and this might nudge us to finally do it. The first 2 weeks after we plugged it in, we didn't even turn our cable box on! (We were binge watching shows we had wanted to see, to be fair...) Need to get some additional subscriptions (Disney+ and so on) but still well worth it. The A/V quality is excellent, and no lag (we have cable internet).

    I've had ROKU, Apple TV, the original Chromecast, and now this. After using this for over a month, I will be purchasing one of these for each of my televisions and never having to worry about what app is supported or what input I have to be on to watch my content on any service. This works with everything, controls the TV power/volume (including surround setups), and basically simplifies everything into a single interface that is easy to use.

    Coming from a Chromecast Ultra, I had decent expectations for this new device, but none too extraordinary. But from the day I received it, I knew Google had did something good. The setup took about 10 minutes and was not complicated at all, and it installed all of my streaming apps for me which simplified many parts of the process. It’s such a snappy device in such a small form factor and for its price you can’t go wrong. I highly recommend!

    Must Have

    Fantastic with the Android TV OS. I have this as a replacement for most of my TVs own OS because it just outclasses it in every way. It's snappy and easy to use, and most importantly it can access all of Androids entertainment apps unlike a TV OS with a fractured app presence. I would say this is a must have. It can also be controlled by other remotes, I have this paired with my LG CX remote and it works perfectly.

    Fantastic device. I have an older HD TV that isn't a smart TV and I didn't want to buy a new one. I used an old blu-ray player that had a few pre-installed apps but updates were no longer supported. This device is a great alternative to watching my streaming services. And the remote makes it so easy to navigate. I'm so impressed and would recommend to anyone. FYI: If you are looking for live TV, you'll have to subscribe to YouTube.

    This is well worth the price. I got this because I have started to make my home a Google Assistant Smart Home and this was a much needed product. With this you can have access to all of your apps and more features that are incorporated with your TV in one item. It makes everything a lot more simple and doesn't give up quality of what you are viewing; in fact I would say it makes the viewing better for some shows/movies.

    Works great use it as a media hub in the master bedroom. Works well with android phones to cast screen *not sure about iPhones. Remote is finicky sometimes have to raise is higher when laying down in bed.. *or maybe I'm lazy... Works tons better than a firestick imo. Faster, clearer & just better. Get one!

    Easy to set up and use. Designated buttons for apps (YouTube and Netflix) are very convenient. It would be nice to be able to choose what apps can be reached with a press of a button instead of having them preset for me, but that's more a suggestion/hope for future models than a complaint on this one.

    What a great device! Everything is available in one single place. I have a LG OLED 4K TV and it doesn’t have HBO max as an available app to download along with a few others. This device adds that capability. I like that with this Google offered a remote which was definitely needed. This device is headed towards the right direction. While scrolling it is fast and not sluggish. Also the remote controls my TV and subwoofer!! Great buy

    By far the best mainstream streaming device available. Google really knocked it out of the park on this one. Definitely gives Roku a fierce competitor. Nice thing about this device is that running Android you can pretty much load or sideload any available Android apps. Video is excellent. Responsiveness is super snappy. Remote is a pleasure to use. Price is direct competition to Roku and Fire TV that are much more limited in use.
