    Nice product, smooth functions, and seamless set-up. Could even control auxiliary speakers connected to monitor! Price is a bit high compared to amazon fire stick 4K; otherwise great product. Couldn’t install 3rd party apps, so I am choosing amazon; but i loved the use of this product.

    Google Chromecast, an amazing unit! This is so EASY. Just click the button, tell it the movie you want! It searches and finds the movie! No more trying to remember if the show is on Netflix, Prime, Disney, etc. This unit was pretty easy to set up. Just enter your user name and password one time, and then it is very easy! Well worth the money!

    Updated to this unit from a earlier 1080 P version that kept overheating and shutting down. This unit seems to be much better and we’ve been able to watch without any problems at all. It seems like another good updated model from Google. I happened to purchase the last one on the shelf at my local Best Buy so my assumption is that they are doing well.

    Better than the Apple TV 4K

    Highly recommend buying this. First of all it’s $50 and it has a great App selection. I have an Apple TV 4K and like using the chrome cast with Google TV more. You can even download an app that lets you airplay to this Chromecast for those who have an iPad or iPhone. I’m going to sell my Apple TV 4K and get a few more of these Chromecasts with Google TV.

    Remote is aweful

    Device itself is great. Picture quality is perfect. *Remote is aweful, it slips from your hand, buttons are in a weird layout. I would recommend but also recommend a universal remote at time of purchase.

    Great concept. Remote grip could be improved.

    I like very much the integration of all apps in the main screen so you don't have to keep opening apps to load content. Very easy to use, however I have to admit that the ergonomics/grip of the remote is not the better. It easily slides out of my hand and keeps turning as I'm holding it which sometimes is annoying and makes your hand tired from holding it strong, specially during configuration or when browsing, which is when you hold the remote for longer periods of time.

    If you're invested in the Google ecosystem buy it!

    We love our Google TV dongles, they just work so well. Couple that with the ability to add my children's accounts so I can monitor/control their access and it's a win win. We have one on every TV in the house that supports it!

    Best of all the streaming boxes/sticks

    I just purchased one a few days ago and now I'm going to get another because it does everything that my Amazon fire stick and my Roku does only better. For example, I purchased two Firesticks just so I could play all my digital movies and TV shows I have on my WD Cloud Drive (NAS drive) because it was the only thing I knew of at the time that would display the subtitles and CC on them using the VLC app. Well I found out quickly that there were lots of flaws to the app that was irritating the heck out of me. Like if you played a title that started with any letter, say a "B" (I look at the drive displayed as folders) as soon as you hit stop, it would suddenly show that title in the letter "O" spot instead of "B". Not only that but would also change the title to seemingly random characters/letters/numbers (didn't actually change the file name, only the listing in it's own display). Well the Chromecast with Google TV, VLC app, didn't do this at all. On top of that, I have all the other stuff/apps and more, that the other 2 had as well. I will be hooking a wireless keyboard and mouse up to it in a few days. I'm sold it's just the best of all of them combined and more.

    This product is excellent, easy to use, and well assembled. I have a perfectly fine VIZIO TV (5-year-old) that is not updating to new Apps like Disney+, etc.. This Chromecast save me hundreds since I won't need to replace my old TV, just buy this product for $49 and it works better since I'm able to see all my subscription in one place from one screen.

    Good product but the remote control is rather touchy. Once you get used to it, it's not bad. Overall I really like the product. I had a fire stick and I actually like this product more.

    One of the best streaming devices out there. Dead simple to use and supports 4K and HDR. The apps are all linked to your Google account so if you're an Android user this is a breeze. Honestly one of the best Google products to date. I like the added remote with this model. I don't always want to use my phone.

    Better than the app installed software in Vizio smart TV. So easy to setup and much easier to use while navigating the multitude of apps that you can add on this device.

    The Best Streaming device for Youtube TV

    I am coming from a 4k Apple TV that went into the closet. The Google TV has the best user interface and snappiness out of all streaming devices. The remote could be a tad bigger, but better than the apple tv remote that is too sensitive. This is the best streaming device for youtube and youtube tv and I have used them all, including the Nvidia Shield TV.

    Was a big fan of roku. Spent alot of money buying the ultras. But after so many of them going out I decided to switch to Google and never looked back. And much cheaper.

    I used to use all my apps that were available with my smart TV. However, there was latency when using the apps so I decided to get the Chromecast. The user interface is extremely simple to use and there is a variety of applications available. I plan on purchasing more Chromecasts for the rest of the TV's.
