    The New Best Streamer

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I had been waiting for a Google streamer ever since the Nexus Player from years ago, and this is the perfect device. If you have a Google oriented smart home, then this is a great addition as it can be managed with the rest of the devices in the Home app. As for the operation, the new Google TV interface is much more tailored for personal viewing with smart suggestions of what to watch next and having a system wide watchlist across all your services. It is a bit more complicated of a UI than standard Android TV, like you would find on an Nvidia Shield, but once you get used to it's more helpful for finding content. I would say the only negatives so far are the fact that featured content can be from services you don't subscribe to, which can be annoying but not a deal breaker for me. Also I've noticed the plastic remote is already getting slightly creaky in one spot after a month, but I barely notice it. Overall, I would definitely recommend this as the cheap streamer to get, especially if you're already invested in the Google ecosystem.

    Great little way to turn that older TV that's been sitting around to a smart tv. Despite casting stuff onto your ipad or whatever. You can sign on to all the different streaming services easily. Set up was easy and didnt take long. As long as your internet connection is solid-- your all set

    Ditch SmartCast for Google/Android TV

    Having a Sony Android TV, I really liked the interface and watched some consistency in the other TVs. My bedroom TV is a Vizio and has a VERY slow interface. The Chromecast Google TV almost matches my Sony and is loads quicker than the Vizio SmartCast and a very worthwhile “upgrade”.

    This is way better than the Tivo Stream 4k! It's cheaper, faster, more ram, and has more features too. It's also easier to setup with soundbar, etc. Be sure to download the android tv remote app, to make it even more convenient. i hope someone makes a case for it, because the remote seems very fragile.

    As far as interface user-friendly and convenience this is the best streaming stick on the market. I currently have Xfinity as my cable provider and if it wasn't for them having their live service app available on Roku, I will have these throughout every TV in my house. I would recommend this to anyone.

    This Chrome cast has been the best device I’ve used in a while. I have an element small tv and can’t watch YouTube or Netflix, etc. on it but with this I can do that and so much more. I unfortunately don’t have an pictures on me but Definitely worth every penny!

    No need to upgrade your TV if you have a Chromecast with Google TV. This thing does it call. Puts everything in one place plus I like the learning feature which puts all the shows or similar shows in one view based on your usage.

    I am always Anroid fan Pros: Best and simple clean interface. Faster the firestick Con: Volume rocker is on side of remote. Remote build is little clumsy. You can not power it up by tv usb port , so you have use external power socket. Not like fire stick where u can power it using tv USB port Price is little high as you can get fire stick on sale half of it price

    Great product, great value. Love how it pulls from different services such as Netflix and Hulu to give suggestions right on the home screen. Works great with YouTube TV. And Google Assistant on the remote is very quick. Volume and power buttons on the remote also enable to be used as a universal remote

    I love this streaming device! I have actually fully converted over from my Amazon Fire Stick. The remote is designed perfectly with extremely intuitive controls, and the chromecast does everything a chromecast is supposed to do. Drop Alexa, go Google!

    This chromecast is simple and easy to use. The only flaw that I found was that you can not connect it directly to your Google home speakers instead you have to use Bluetooth and half of the time it doesn’t work. But other then that it’s great!

    Set up was a breeze, and it is a great little bit of technology to enjoy all my streaming services with the push of a button or simple verbal command. It even has anime streaming apps, (Crunchyroll, Funimation, etc) which my nerdy-self was over the moon about.

    The Google Chromecast TV is better than Amazon fire TV stick because you have endless possibilities and if you have an Android phone it's very easy to cast videos or images to the TV and it does everything else the fire stick does too and the interface of the Google TV is much better and quicker

    Nearly Perfect Chromecast

    Finally - A Chromecast device that has everything you need/want (almost). Easy to set up, easy to use, great value. It will be perfect when they add the ability to play Stadia through the device (you currently have to use the Chromecast HD). Supposed to be coming soon via a software update.

    This is by far the best thing to have on your tv if yours didn’t come with Google Tv. Organizes all your streamin services into one place and just makes the experience so much easier.

    In spite of its unfortunate appearance -- a dongle that looks like an octopus hanging off the front of my amplifier -- the Chromecast is nifty, enabling us to cast from our phones and our computers. The remote is very useful for controlling the device, as the Google Home app has thus far been too difficult to figure out for that purpose. It is a good piece of technology at a reasonable price.
