    it’s a good product for its price. it makes regular tvs into smart tvs. the remote is small and it’s easy to setup and use. the only issues i have is with bluetooth and hbo max. you have to go into setting and manually connect to bluetooth devices every time, and the hbo max app is bad but it’s because of hbo max not google

    This is a very economical very functional streaming device. Much cheaper than Apple TV. Seems to work with everything but especially proficient with YouTube TV not surprisingly. Had it running in 2 minutes.

    Ended up purchasing two of them to replace my fire sticks and the household. Best decision I could have ever done. The UI could use a little improvement but overall the speed and stability of the unit far surpasses anything the fire stick or fire TV cube did for me.

    I love it because the Google TV portion brings in all your streaming apps to one location. So much better than having to switch between your Amazon Fire Stick, Roku device, or any other attachment and using up multiple HDMI ports.

    Dongle was always great, but addition of remote makes this perhaps the best streaming device available. User interface is GREAT and recommendations are good too. I've always been a Roku user, but this new streaming device has become my personal preference!

    It's a nice product and a step up from the original chromecast experience, but it is not perfect. The interface is nice and the integration of programming recommendations on the home page from across multiple streaming services is a nice touch. Sometimes freezes or lags, which is likely a software issue they will work out, but it can be annoying.

    Great 'plug it into the back of the TV' Media Hub

    Surprisingly powerful device - it feels more like an AppleTV or similar sized set-top. It has frozen and crashed on me a couple times, hense the 4 instead of 5 stats. But if you don't have the space for an AppleTV 4k / Android similar, this is the best "just plug it into the back of the TV" media Hub I've seen to date.

    Google does it again. I'm a big fan of Google products. This is one. Easy to set up and delivers on content performance. Instantly turn your legacy tv's into a smart tv - as long as you have an HDMI connection and google account.

    I have several Rokus for the house but wanted to try this. I installed it on my main TV and I love it. I'm primarily a Google and Android guy and this makes it so easy to pick shows from YouTube TV or YouTube or Netflix etc. It's a better interface for me vs Roku.

    Love this! Perfect for Chromecast enthusiasts. For anybody that doesn’t like to use their phone as a remote, this is what you need. Android TV is so much better than Roku it’s insane. There is literally no reason to pick Roku over this device. You won’t be sorry

    This was an excellent update for my streaming use. Instead of having to use 2 remotes (one for the television and another for the streaming services), this Chromecast combines both functions into one easy-to-use device. Very pleased with this purchase.

    I bought this for my friend and my friend has been loving it ever since. This is probably the best smart TV device at this price point. Google TV is extremely easy to use and the variety of the apps available make this stand among the competition.

    We purchased to use on the spare room tv. Set up took a while with getting all the logins right. Once that was done it works like a champ. We have not tried with Google assistant yet. We'll be getting a couple as gifts for the parents.

    I love this product. This is the best interface for YouTube TV integration. It is nice to use on my Roku TV so I don't use the Roku TV part of the TV . Maybe I should get a Samsung TV to use this on too. The remote curve sucks and it's difficult to hold at times.

    Was considering buying a new smart TV because our current LG isn't receiving updates anymore and isn't compatible with many of the new streaming services. This was the perfect fix and I didn't have to buy a new TV. Really easy to use! Would purchase again!

    Was not sure what to expect, but very happy with the Chromecast with Google TV. Very easy to set up and the user interface is easy to use. Added the various streaming services and now easy to see and search our YouTube TV, Disney+, Discovery+ and others.

    Plus: Home screen that gives you previews of what is trending or new. Hooks up with Google Assistant and comes in handy to control the TV from anywhere. It saves preferences and profiles. You can even watch TikTok on it. You can also talk into the remote as you would your phone when using Google Assistant. The Youtube and Netflix buttons come in handy because for whatever reason after watching a show we usually default to opening one of those 2 apps. Cons: I like the simplicity of only the 2 streaming service buttons, but part of me wonders what if we had more (such as hulu, hbo, disney etc) plus The navigation buttons are very similar to an old ipod (button with circular directional surrounding). They look and feel nice, but at times the buttons mash and you try to move right but end up moving down or up. That is the only reason why i gave a 4 star, if the buttons didnt mash i would give it 5 stars all the way!

    I you need a streaming device look no further. It out performs the fire stick and is not on a lockdown platform you can sideload apps as needed for the price it's the best streaming device you can get without going to the Nvidia shield.
