    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.

    This is a fast, smooth, and beautiful streaming device. My only wish is that it had an Ethernet port so I can stream proper 4K content without having to worry about my WiFi being problematic.

    This thing is great. Made a smart tv out of an older (8 yrs?) unsmart (dumb?) tv. Can now stream Apple, Prime, Netflix, etc. Great gadget. For the price, truly a no brainer.

    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.

    Excellent --- But Google Can Do Better

    I have some gripes...but don't let those deter you. This is a great way to stream TV and "cut the cable." Others have written about the good points...let me just pick some nits for a moment. The remote is round and slippery. It has slipped from my hands and crashed to the ground while on the treadmill more than a few times. The user interface (UI) is confusing at times. That's because you stream with different apps from different providers (eg Netflix, Prime, YouTube TV, Paramount, Disney, etc). Each one has a slightly different set of reactions to the buttons. Sometimes I can join a program in progress recorded on their "DVR" other times I can go to the beginning. I can't figure this out. The back arrow seems to have a mind of its own. Maybe that's due to the way different apps respond to it. Integration with the Google Home app should be improved. I believe it is impossible to add a device to a "room." If you want a device in a "room" it appears that you have to set it up that way from the beginning.

    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.

    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 got it for an older TV that was not a SmartTV. An easy to use interface. I would suggest getting a silicone sleeve for the remote since it small and slippery. Connect to my WiFi easily and kept a consistent connection.

    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 bought this to be able to stream Steam on my TV. Although there's lag for gaming(as expected) I can now stream anything I need to my TV and have more apps available to me than were before with just the TV.

    I was hoping to be able to cast to this from my iOS devices but that only works with a third-party app and only with some media. (If I had done my research I would have known better.) The new interface is nice and easy to use, serving as a great combined hub for most streaming services.

    I've had this now for almost a year, it's great! Easy to use and makes any TV with an HDMI input a smart TV if it's not. I use it everyday and does not disappoint. You can access almost all the movie watching apps out there.

    Hands down improvement from the original Chromecast of 2017. Cleaner interface, faster processed and connectivity make this a much better experience. Only gripe is that voice control still lags behind any of the Amazon products (no voice search or control in certain apps is a glaring omission). Another one that may seem obvious is no Apple TV+ support.

    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!

    The new 4K Chromecast is a nice update from our older model. It supports all the streaming apps we use, and the user interface is smooth and responsive. So far it's been everything we were hoping it would be!

    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.
