I am always Anroid fan Pros: Best and simple clean interface. Faster the firestick Con: Volume rocker is on side of remote. Remote build is little clumsy. You can not power it up by tv usb port , so you have use external power socket. Not like fire stick where u can power it using tv USB port Price is little high as you can get fire stick on sale half of it price

Nice interface. Nice to not have to manually switch between 12 different stream services. Voice command is a nice touch. Bought this because native netflix and hulu apps on tv stopped getting updates and subsequently stopped working. $50 for this was better than an entire new tv.

In spite of its unfortunate appearance -- a dongle that looks like an octopus hanging off the front of my amplifier -- the Chromecast is nifty, enabling us to cast from our phones and our computers. The remote is very useful for controlling the device, as the Google Home app has thus far been too difficult to figure out for that purpose. It is a good piece of technology at a reasonable price.

I recieved it yesterday. Followed the instructions and passwords and had no problems. So far no buffering like my old one and no freezing like the old one. I love the fact that it controls the tv and has all the major apps i use right on the front of the remote.

I like the interface on these better than fire tv. I have these on smart and stupid tvs

Easy and FAST transitioning from platform to platform and general movement around the platforms. You're able to search for a show or movie and it'll tell you what platform it's on instead of having to look at each platform individually. The only complaint I have is with the Twitch app. Even while running and watching something it has a tendency to put itself to sleep after awhile instead.

Take the functionality of an android set top box and release it at a price lower than even the Chinese can offer their versions. Great piece of hardware if you're already ingratiated in the Android ecosystem and even if not, it's easy to use and offers a number of fratures. This kills Roku.

It is easy to use and if you use the speaker function it actually show or understand what you want to watch an I have a heavy accent, my mother has been using non stop

Easy to use. Glad I made the purchase. Great for taking on trips to hotels that have smart TVs.

Excellent item! Very easy to set up and once done, you're enjoying your shows. I hooked it up to an older computer monitor (no speakers) so I did have to get an HDMI splitter to get audio to my eternal speakers, but since it is plugged in series, there was no problem hooking it up.

I purchased one of these for my basement home theater, and it's fantastic. Now I'm buying a second one to use upstairs with my smart TV, which has had constant issues for the past few months.

Easily the best smart stick available. The user interface is clean and simple. If you already have a Google (or YouTube) account it makes setup of this device quick.

If you have a TV that isn’t smart or just has a bad UI, this will make a huge difference. Not to mention the remote is so nice because the device doesn’t rely on your phone, and if your phone isn’t connected it can still be used. It’s cheap enough to justify and it comes with such smooth OS. the only problem I had was the remote disconnected one night and we had to factory reset.

The new mode with a remote is interesting, the Google TV interface is nice, but the Chromecast integration causes me certain failures that I haven't had with the Chromecast Ultra, like when my Netflix profile has a password, I can't manage it from my cell phone, I absolutely need the remote control. There is latency in the audio when listening via Bluetooth when watching something in 4K.

Needed something to replace using my TV apps. This is so much better! Does not drop video quality when streaming. The remote synced with my tv and soundbar very easily. I highly recommend getting this. Much better than my Roku.

I have saved a ton of money on my monthly bills thanks to buying one of these and being smart about how I use it. I loved my Firestick but I feel this lets me have more options and it better integrates into my household stuff since I've been primarily using Google anyway.

Upgrade from previous Chromecast that we still have in use and it is nice to have a remote. All your platforms are unified so that is a plus. You can use Google Assistant to look for specific shows. It also recommends other shows you might like. Only con is remote is a bit slippery.

I been waiting for this device to use it and enjoy it. I love the facts that the Android developers and engineers really took their time to make this a best on a budget. The amount of ram that it comes with its perfect to prevent from freezing when running many things at the same time. It comes with a 8 gig of storage which is okay to have a good amount of apps but you can just setup a nas, smb or get a cloud account if you need space. I would suggest to buy a hd with cloud storage software if not familiar with setting up a cloud server at home on your own. If you don’t wanna go to all the headaches setting up ur media back up server, setup a shared folder on your pc computer there are tons of tutorials on YouTube which will make it easy for you to setup your cloud server. There are many other things I could suggest you if you that you can do with the google tv device but I would take for ever here typing. Anyways enjoy it and take care of it.

It was really nice I really liked it it lasted for years !

Google Tv is a gamechanger. I have a smart tv, but opted to use this instead as it is MUCH faster and keeps everything all in one UI. I can also game on it
