Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is so easy to use and is very easy to hook up

Although the setup process was a little complicated, I am very satisfied with the quality and function of the unit. It did find my accounts quickly and it was easy to add an additional app to the screen. The remote paired well with the TV and works its functions appropriately. This is an excellent update to the original Chromecast!

Great product and does more than expected. I recommend it. I ended buying two of them.

I had the previous version of the Chromecast. I like the new one much better, since it combines all my streaming services into one place, yet still gives me the ability to cast content from other devices to my television. I'm also able to control it with my Harmony remote, which is a plus.

The Chromecast with Google TV was easy to set up and works about as good as I expected and hoped for. I do wish I could search within only the services I subscribe to, but am hoping that will come later in an update. Speaking of updates, the setup took 40 minutes simply due to downloading & applying updtes before I could get going!

As someone who had only used regular Chromecasts, the Google TV interface is nice and adds lots features. Note that as of now it doesn't support stadia natively, but I was able to sideload the stadia app, pair an xbox controller, and stream games without any problems. I also used the SteamLink app to stream games from my own PC.

I give it 4 stars because I'm a big fan of google products and its system. This product offers a lag-free experience, very neat on every level, versatile and way better than the firestick. The only one thing I do not like about it is that lately the controller has been disconnecting from the device and it has been giving me a hard time. I have 3 chromecasts at home and only one is giving me these issues.

Nice streaking device. Features all your favorite steaming apps. Apps run fast and quality is great. The only issue i have is that sometimes my TV’s hdmi doesn’t recognize it, ans i have to unplug it, and plug it back again to restart it. But i can live with it.

Love it! I know it’s a little more expensive than the other options, but it’s overall better quality and has more options. The remote is even voice controlled.

I've been using firesticks exclusively in my home, but one stopped working and since these now have a remote option, I went for it. Overall, I like it better than firestick. It was a quick setup and the screen options are better in my option. It does cost more money

great product easy to use, nice interface.........

Works well. Better than slow apps on an old TV. We got this because Youtube TV 4K requires you to set your home wifi. Since this is a new setting and requirement it's only available on smart TVs, i.e. Android Smart TVs. We only have Roku and Apple TV's so we picked this up so that we could make that setting change. Worked easy. But now that we have it we rather enjoy it. Helps make an old smart more up to date. Remote is decent, some of the buttons I wish were different, but just because I'm used to the Roku remotes. They don't have a play/pause button so you have to hit the center enter button. That took a little getting use to.

Love this. I have been a long time Roku user and this thing is definitely on par with that. In some ways it's even better. It's not enough for me to give up my Roku but it will be in the mix. I use this in my living room and my Roku's in the rest of my house. Don't hesitate to pick this up especially if you have all things Google.

I had to unplug everything and replug after the Chromecast didn't work on initial try. Wish technology could just be plug and play but somehow we're not there yet. Once it did work it's been fairly smooth but I've had to uninstall and reinstall some of the app apps when they randomly decide to stop working. In addition the length of the cord from the HDMI plug to the device is really short and I'm going to have to get a tiny extender so the device isn't hidden behind the TV to allow for a more seamless signal between the remote and the device. I'm surprised it's not longer to allow the device to sit uncovered. However, this device makes it convenient to control the TV, sound bar and Chromecast all with one remote so that's been really nice. It runs faster than the interface of my smart tv which is the main reason we got it. I think the device can use a few improvements but overall I'm enjoying it.

Works as advertised. We like how it syncs with our smartphones and smart home cameras. Though a google Home has yet to integrate it with their nest speakers well. I’ve yet to crack how to use it in sync with our smart speakers to have surround sound audio. The responsiveness can be a little sluggish at times. But generally it works well enough to not be frustrating. Browsing for movies and shows is a breeze with their interface.

Pros: Everything but the remote Cons: Remote The device itself is quick, responsive,and it does a great job curating content from all your services in one place. I'd consider ditching Roku and buying 3 more of these if not for the remote. Maybe I'll get Shield TV and sideload the Google TV UI. The remote is definitely the weakest link. It's small, slick, and easy to lose. The ergonomics just aren't there. I prefer the Roku d-pad to the wheel on this. The buttons are a hard, slick plastic rather than rubberized. It lacks dedicated fast forward and rewind buttons. The divot on the back of the remote should also line up with the"okay" button on the front. I hate to harp on the remote so much but TV should be intuitive and enjoyed without having to consciously think about controlling it. This would be 5 stars if not for the remote

This product is nice for portability and remote if just using installed apps. Autosetup failed 5 times before i gave up and did manually. Buggy with BT headphones could not get it to connect after pairing tried 5 times, opencoms, never had issue connecting these to anything. Boseflex connected fine so did keyboard. Ineternet drop many times when trying to cast my screen from zfold3, the casting would constantly drop. Googlehome would show it as off even thow it was on. Never had issues with this on original chromecast. Casting apps from phone slow and glitchy. Not sure if new update has a bugs, but this is simply toomany bugs at once. If not casting from phone or using BT headphones it will prob be fine for most. Very portable stable with built in apps and nice remote. But very lacking and buggy with extended functions. Will be returning. I think i may just shell out the money for Shield TV not as portable but works flawlessy.

As someone who really appreciates software design and cohesiveness, this new Chromecast with Google TV is leagues ahead of Roku. It's easy to setup and pulls all of the content you are watching onto the home screen so that you can resume from there instead of having to open each app.

I got this product since my in-built Roku on my 5 years old TV was getting slower. I had always used Chromecast previously, but this was game changer since this comes with an entire Operating System (Google TV) and Remote. A must have for people who have older TVs and are looking to make it smart.

Easy to install, easy to use; works great ... We get You Tube TV which gives us our local stations plus, plus. This definitely beats our cable.
