    Very easy to set up. the voice search is pretty cool. As with all Google devices, it knows all of your accounts and searches them for whatever movie or show you are looking for. Connectivity is very solid. Plus you can control your tv's power and volume with it.

    I bought a smart tv that didn't have any way to download apps to it that weren't already on it. I subscribe to YouTube TV, and this wasn't on my tv. I bought the chromecast with hopes that it would allow me to view the streaming services I subscribe to on the tv. It installed easy and now I can watch any of my streaming channels.

    Best Streaming Device

    For a simplified streaming device this has everything you need. The only downfall is the low storage on the device. But if you don't have many streaming services that you subscribe to then this is the best bang for the buck.

    Simply put it is magnificent. Smooth operation, no lagging, connected airtv via sling and I use it all the time. The voice control is second to none. Google assistant integration works seamlessly. Would I recommend it? Yes definitely I think they should add private listening.

    WOW! We finally broke up with DirecTV after 22+ years, cutting the cord and added a lot of streaming services during Covid. We bought a Roku Ultra, then Google launched this a week later. Hands down - no contest. It's fast, efficient and my Google Home can control it. Killer.

    Very pleased that Chromecast now has a dedicated remote, but I still use my phone on occasion to cast. Also like the phone app that emulates the remote. The only drawback so far is the Chromecast remote appears only to control power to one external device.

    I am having a good experience with my Chromecast with Google TV. There are a variety of shows to choose from with this little gadget. The set up is super easy. When purchasing this, Best Buy's customer service was Great! Friendly, knowledgeable, and the process was quick.

    Works as expected. Very responsive. I ended up replacing all the Fire sticks in my home because these are much faster. It's nice being able to cast from my phone or just use the remote. Definitely recommend if you are invested in the Google ecosystems.

    This chromecast is exactly what Google needed to get ahead in the streaming space. Not only is it s chromecast, but the new look and speedy optimization of Google TV makes it my favorite way to stream content. I would gladly pay $200 for this service, but luckily, it's only $50!

    These things come in handy in just cleaning up streaming options. I've even started purchasing them for my Samsung 8 and 9 thousand series TVs just for the ease of use in bringing everything together

    Vast improvement

    The newest chromecast is a vast improvement over the older models. The addition of a dedicated remote is long overdue. The main complain that I have is that the navigation buttons are too easy to press and take you places where you didn't intend to go. The Google TV interface could use some work too.

    Love that I can use this small sleek remote in place of the huge one that came with my TV. Google Assistant is extremely responsive. I can dim or turn off all of my lights within seconds of starting up a movie. The family has been enjoying 4k HDR Streaming since we got it.

    Good, But Remote Could Have Been Better

    After having satellite and cable for 35 years, I recently changed to YouTube TV at the behest of a couple of friends. I figured what better streaming device to use than that supplied by the owner of the service, Google. The dongle and power supply are cleanly designed and can be installed with a minimum of fuss, and the remote communicates with the dongle using radio frequency or Bluetooth or something else that does not require line-of-sight like infrared, so the dongle can be hidden out of sight. The remote is hard, slippery plastic and is much easier to handle with a third party, silicone rubber slip cover installed on it. The buttons are very easy to push with minimal tactile feedback, so it is easy to hit one by mistake when reaching for the remote without looking and activating an unintended function. At first I didn't like the placement of the volume buttons on the right side of the device as I found them hard to operate with my thumb when holding the remote in my right hand. I have adapted by using the remote in my left hand. The device comes in three colors, white and two ugly ones, but that is subjective. Power is supplied to the dongle via a USB-A to USB-C cable and comes with a small power converter block. Two AAA batteries for the remote are also provided.

    To cast simply, this is the choice!

    There's nothing special, better or more inclusive about this in relation to it's competitors regarding the streaming TV. I know, I literally have them all. UNTIL you get to being able to cast simply from your phone, computer, and even your Fire HD (although that takes some additional work). That's where this shines, and the 4K model is the one to buy when it's priced well.

    This is an awesome device. I upgraded my 1st gen chromecast which was stuttering while playing 4k content to this and the difference is immense. Voice remote is absolutely great too. Very happy with this purchase.

    Works great and it looks great. Comes with controller so there is no need for a phone anymore. It does need its own power source unlike the older generations that could just be plugged into the back of the tv. Ordered it online and it was shipped/delivered by the next day!
