    Amazing little device. I have four of them and they make my life so seamless. I'm fairly far into The Google ecosystem with YouTube TV and YouTube premium and some nest products and they all work great. Only four stars out of five because occasionally YouTube premium won't sign in for some reason and I get ads.

    Opens up possibilities we had not had before. I got it to use with YouTube TV and have decided to put that purchase off for a while, but there are other benefits such as having the same menu as I do on my new Android TV. I also like having the remote. Recommended

    Easy to use and has everything all in one. Cut the cord this past year and this has been excellent, especially since it has all the apps right their. Only drawback is the remote will disconnect every once and a while. Liked it so much, we bought a second.

    This is way better due to the remote. It's easy for those that don't have cell phones or those that are not tech-inclined. I am so happy with this Chromecast.

    I love google products. The quality and ease of use is awesome, I have 2 nvidia shield TVs that are pretty good as well but googles new chromecast is great integration with YouTube Tv and you get to see a nice preview screen before you get to the actual live channel

    I had the previous one and this one is an improvement. The remote small with just enough functionality. It's great for show and the like but I really love sharing my photos on the tv as the screensaver and re-living all our recent memories.

    Wonderful! I mainly use it for cable. So instead of paying more for an additional a cable box, I use the Chromecast to access all the channels. Works pretty good since I bought it about a year ago, even with the other apps.

    Google Chrome cast mates streaming movies, TVs, shows, I am binge watching seamless. All you have to do is ask Google to play a show or movie and it comes right up. No more going through the hassle of looking for the application to play the specific show or movie.

    Best Streaming Device

    I've had the 1st gen Chromecast device and this new one is a much better experience. I like that there's a dedicated remote and seems more of a streaming box experience rather than just a casting device from previous generations. Works very well and easy to use.

    Works okay with some caveats

    Originally drawn to this as the cheapest streamer I could find that supports Dolby Vision. It works fairly well save for some caveats: 1) For some reason can never get the CNN Go app to work (though this seems to be a common issue). 2) While it seems to be resolved now, whenever using the Vudu app, it would always play my purchases as HDX rather than UHD. It seems there was an update which now allows Dolby Vision and UHD. But you'll need to do your research to see what apps support Dolby Vision on this device. I didn't take this into consideration when purchasing, and so I need to mix use between this and my Vizio TV's smart app to get Dolby Vision content. 3) I've had issues here and there with flickering when outputting at 4k 60hz. In some instances it wouldn't enable Dolby Vision unless I converted to 4k 30hz. Some of these issues were fixed upgrading my HDMI cables. But it sometimes flickers when connected directly to my Yamaha rx-v4a receiver. So just be aware of this if you're looking for 60hz. Overall, if you need the best quality streamer, you'll probably want to revert to Roku Ultra (I used Roku before and it's safe and dependable) or Apple TV. But for most other uses, this works pretty well considering it's only $50.

    Like an Apple TV, but not $150. Has all the 4k HDR stuff that my 2019 Vizio display can handle. Pretty easy to use. I wish more of the apps / services integrated with Google's recommendation and search system. Have had some trouble on my wifi network (5 GHz vs 2.4 GHz etc etc) but they patched it and things have gotten better.

    A great upgrade to the original Chromecast

    It works really well and the OS is smooth and simple. I'm able to use my TV's remote (LG) with it as well, which means I don't have to juggle two remotes as often. Biggest issue I have is with the small internal storage. There are a lot of games that can be installed directly onto the Chromecast, but not nearly enough storage for them.

    Replaced my aging Roku 4 and within a day the Roku was already unplugged and collecting. The interface is intuitive, the suggestions are helpful, and being able to control to TV with my Google Home products is a nice addition to impress friends and be generally lazy.

    Easy to set up and use. I received the first as a gift and when I needed another streaming device (despite having used Roku for years), I ran out and bought this one. Shipping was super fast and I was able to get everything set up in under an hour.

    I purchased this so that I could cast my Meta VR headset to my LG smart TV. It worked flawlessly. I haven’t used any of the other features yet but plan on browsing them in the very near future.
