Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was pleasantly surprised how polished this first generation of Chromecast with Google TV is. I supposed Google has used the manufacturers of Android TVs to refine the experience. Only a few issues you can overlook, like the main screen starting up a bit slow and then recommending things from services you don’t have. Overall very good though.

Clean interface, fast and responsive. Only issue is I have to buy a power adapter to connect it directly to USB power on my TV. Charge me $10 more and put the power adapter in the device by default!

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.

Its a great chromcast replacement as it comes with a remote. I own 3 of these because they are so good. I have 1 in the living room another in my room and another in another room. This is honestly a great way to make a tv a smart tv.

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 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.

I love watching movies using my new dongle and the remote to it great feture to have.

Nice, easy to use, fast. Set up in less than 5 minutes, working good, zero issues. Good instructions, easy system. Voice search works flawlessly

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.

The product is easy to use and comes with a nice remote.

Connected directly to a Denon avr-x4700h. My one gripe is, sometimes it doesn't recognize 4k which can be resolved by power cycling the avr. So, minus one star for always having to check the 4k status. Otherwise, it works very well with an easy to use user interface. We now have a total of five in the house.

Overall I'm pleased with it after swapping out my FireTV 4k for this, albeit with a couple of small gripes. It's slightly underpowered for the task and will likely show age fast. For the time being it does everything it should do, but it feels disposable. I mainly purchased this for the integration with Google systems, since I tossed out all my Amazon gadgets and swapped them for Google ones for the improved features. I bought two of these, one for a 4K TV and one for an HDTV. It works on the 1080p screen but there's no option for adjusting overscan so it cuts off the edges in some menus. I wouldn't recommend it for Android games since the app storage capacity is lacking, but I don't use it for that. It has enough room for all my media apps but if I did more than that I'd have to add an external drive. A bit annoying, but at least it's an option. I also wish it was available in black. Everything else about it has been vastly superior to the FireTV. Better integration, better app selection, and no annoying advertisements.

As streaming devices go, this product is as good as other similar devices. The main reason I bought it is to use with my YouTube TV subscription. It's the only one where the voice control works within YouTube TV. That is with other devices the voice control works on a global level, not within the YouTube TV programing specifically.

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

I like the upgrade to the remote control aspect. it has been easy to connect the phone to the tv. i had not tried the new one with my laptop. I had the old version which was connected. someone commented the new might not pick up from a laptop. if that is true that would definitely be a negative. overall i am very happy with it.

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!

I just switched from a 1st gen fire tv cube and it has been great. The chromecast is much more reactive than my fire tv cube and is much lighter on advertisements on the home screen. Casting also works better (as expected)

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.

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.
