    I bought this for 2 main needs: having a remote for YouTube TV and as a solution for a bad Wi-Fi chip in my 75” Vizio tv. The remote fills my needs and the Wi-Fi replacement is a good alternative.

    Has Google TV, which was my main reason for buying it. Had a tcl with roku and recently got a tcl with google tv and liked the Google tv much better than roku, so bought this for my other dumb TV. Cons: When setting to 4k 30hz, it'll revert back to 1080p for some reason which I haven't figured out yet. Others online also seem to have the same problem. I also use a generic usb c to gigabit ethernet adapter to make it hard wired. It dropped the wired connection a couple of times when it goes to sleep and wakes back up, had to power off and on for it recognize the adapter again. Also read this happens to others. Solution for me was to disable the sleep timer. Also, can't seem to control it from my phone, so if I lose the remote, probably would need to buy another. Can't seem to cast from my phone to it either. I hardly ever cast anything, so doesn't bother me, but not sure if it's due to the ethernet adapter or what, but won't work and i dont care enough to try it on wifi. Other than that, works as expected.

    I love this little device. I have the fire stick and I was skeptical about getting this but when I did, I immediately spot the difference, I’ll pick this over the fire stick any day.

    Google TV is the best TV OS I have yet found. Easy to use and it just works. If you can't find the TV you want that already has it, then buy this and use it instead of what your TV comes with. That is what I had to do.

    I have had chromecast in the past that were very basic. This updated one is very nice especially the remote control. Im glad i chose this over the apple tv, its under half the price and just as good in my opinion.

    While the earlier chromecasts were great for being able to shift a TV program from my phone to my TV set the new Google Chromecast is an entire Smart TV system. I really love having a remote control.. finally

    Access to all streaming subscriptions including HBOMax and can search across all of them in a single search field. Also keeps track of you are watching regardless of where so you can quickly get back to it on another day.

    Really enjoying this compared to the fire tv, we also have a lot of google home devices and I love that I can use the remote to control our soundbar, our hub to turn on and off the tv. It’s really nice for the price.

    I got this as a backup for my Rokus since the carriage dispute over Yttv . (Which Roku seems to have with everyone). Instead I am loving this dongle. It is 5g not 2g, I added bluetooth earbuds. Also I went to the store and downloaded a Internet Speed app , and it measures 255Mps. wireless. My Ethernet cable can't do that. It controls the volume, and on/off. So this was $50, my Roku premiere was $35. Good job Roku I am gone. The home screen put me off at first (ok I still use a slide rule), but now I am talking to the remote to change channels and find stuff. Scotty Beam Me Up The BB FedEX communication was a little screwed up, and it did not show shipped until it was delivered which cause me to call BB and complain.

    This has been a great purchase. It's so nice to be able to pull up a show without actually needing the remote and the fact that I can schedule something on my calendar or see who's at the door from my TV is very awesome.

    One Minor Issue

    Overall, works well. However, it does tend to have a problem trying to reconnect with the Wi-Fi if the Chromecast is turned off often. A hard reset of the unit solved the issue. I have an older version on another tv, but it doesn't have this problem. Still happy with the Chromecast.

    I got this because it runs apps a lot better than the native operating system on an older TV that we have. It’s exactly what I needed.
