    I bought this for my daughter's tv in her room. It's better than the original Google Chromecast now that it has a controller. Easy to use and not bad of a price. The only minor complaint is that you have to plug it in to the wall outlet. I'm used to the Amazon fire stick or Roku stick where you just plug in the stick to the USB port on your tv

    I loved chromecast for years... But this one is the best. It's actually like having a Roku TV without going out and buy one. Being able to access movie apps without picking up your phone (once you set it up). It's only $50 bucks, give it a spin... You won't feel like you've wasted your money.

    I have tried all the different streaming devices out there and found this Chromecast w/Google TV to be the best. I like it so much - I have 4 myself and also have bought them as Xmas presents for others.

    Take the functionality of an android set top box and release it at a price lower than even the Chinese can offer their versions. Great piece of hardware if you're already ingratiated in the Android ecosystem and even if not, it's easy to use and offers a number of fratures. This kills Roku.

    Vast improvement

    The newest chromecast is a vast improvement over the older models. The addition of a dedicated remote is long overdue. The main complain that I have is that the navigation buttons are too easy to press and take you places where you didn't intend to go. The Google TV interface could use some work too.

    Best streaming experience

    Google finally got streaming right! Love the comprehensive yet simple and friendly user interface. Knocked out down one star because it has issues with casting from the Oculus VR (very laggy at best and disconnects frequently); I have to cast to the basic 'non Google TV' Chromecast (not Chromecast Ultra btw), which is still has a little lag but much less, and doesn't disconnect.

    Excellent item! Very easy to set up and once done, you're enjoying your shows. I hooked it up to an older computer monitor (no speakers) so I did have to get an HDMI splitter to get audio to my eternal speakers, but since it is plugged in series, there was no problem hooking it up.

    I have saved a ton of money on my monthly bills thanks to buying one of these and being smart about how I use it. I loved my Firestick but I feel this lets me have more options and it better integrates into my household stuff since I've been primarily using Google anyway.

    I got this for my smart tv because my smart tv is a little older and doesn’t have all the streaming apps. This new chromecast allows me to watch YouTube and Disney+ on my tv. It’s a great value compared to Apple TV and I love the mic remote.

    Coming from the old chromecast this is a huge uograde just in being able to stream instead of cast. Not having to have all the streaming apps on your phone is worth the upgrade alone.

    This is way better due to the remote. It's easy for those that don't have cell phones or those that are not tech-inclined. I am so happy with this Chromecast.

    Best device with unique features no other have!

    I been waiting for this device to use it and enjoy it. I love the facts that the Android developers and engineers really took their time to make this a best on a budget. The amount of ram that it comes with its perfect to prevent from freezing when running many things at the same time. It comes with a 8 gig of storage which is okay to have a good amount of apps but you can just setup a nas, smb or get a cloud account if you need space. I would suggest to buy a hd with cloud storage software if not familiar with setting up a cloud server at home on your own. If you don’t wanna go to all the headaches setting up ur media back up server, setup a shared folder on your pc computer there are tons of tutorials on YouTube which will make it easy for you to setup your cloud server. There are many other things I could suggest you if you that you can do with the google tv device but I would take for ever here typing. Anyways enjoy it and take care of it.

    These things come in handy in just cleaning up streaming options. I've even started purchasing them for my Samsung 8 and 9 thousand series TVs just for the ease of use in bringing everything together

    Upgrade from previous Chromecast that we still have in use and it is nice to have a remote. All your platforms are unified so that is a plus. You can use Google Assistant to look for specific shows. It also recommends other shows you might like. Only con is remote is a bit slippery.

    Needed something to replace using my TV apps. This is so much better! Does not drop video quality when streaming. The remote synced with my tv and soundbar very easily. I highly recommend getting this. Much better than my Roku.

    Wow!!! I have to say, this new(at least to me) Chromecast with Google TV has transformed my old plasma screen TV! Easy to connect and set up. I can watch my Netflix and HBOMax apps as well as casting from my phone. At the new sale price get it!!

    I bought a smart tv that didn't have any way to download apps to it that weren't already on it. I subscribe to YouTube TV, and this wasn't on my tv. I bought the chromecast with hopes that it would allow me to view the streaming services I subscribe to on the tv. It installed easy and now I can watch any of my streaming channels.

    I've been using Roku for years and thought it was the best thing ever. It has nothing on Chromecast. This is much faster, more responsive and has so much more to offer like Stadia for gaming. My only thing is the interface. I don't like the way it's organized.

    Works very well with our LG smart TV. Set-up was easy - it was almost plug and play. Channel choices are excellent.
