    So glad Google released a streaming product with a remote and UI. This gives quick access to multiple streaming services. The UI is quick and responsive and the device seamlessly integrates with other Google products like Google WiFi and smart speakers.

    Chromecast have always been my go to choice when it comes to a streaming product. I love Google and I love that they are inclusive. I love the ability to be able to cast from your phone. I love Google assistant. This is a great product.

    This is an awesome device. I upgraded my 1st gen chromecast which was stuttering while playing 4k content to this and the difference is immense. Voice remote is absolutely great too. Very happy with this purchase.

    For a simplified streaming device this has everything you need. The only downfall is the low storage on the device. But if you don't have many streaming services that you subscribe to then this is the best bang for the buck.

    I have a 4K TV with a built in Roku TV and it pales in comparison to this device. Setting it up was super easy, the Google TV OS was very snappy, and casting local 4k media worked flawlessly. If you are looking for a good and affordable 4k streaming device, then look no further.

    New Chromecast is Great!

    This new version of Chromecast is a phenomenal device for users without TV cable or dish services. I now have two Chomecast devices on my smart TVs. I use them to watch free movies and cast other streaming services. Works well on DSL, which is the only internet access I have.

    The Chromecast is great because it allows me to use my Google Home to voice control my Samsung Smart flatscreen. I enjoy using Youtube since I have many home videos stored there. The Chromecast remote allows you also to control the volume on the TV as well.

    It looks like it is as good as a Fire TV. The device looks good and the remote is nice. However, it is a bit getting used to how to navigate through everything. I saw that a USB hub could be connected to expand its storage and other capabilities so that was why I purchased it. However, it would have been better if it has more than 4G of storage. That was just not that much at all.

    A huge improvement to a regular Chromecast. I still can cast from my phone, but I can use it directly with the remote. Also, I plugged a USB-C hub on it and I was able to use a webcam and have a video chat on Google Duo with my family in front of my TV! Awesome!

    Great user friendly interface. Software continues to adapt to your viewing history and provides useful recommendations. You get a lot in the small package. If you're a YouTube TV subscriber, you can also reprogram the YouTube button on the remote to launch that app directly.

    Good, But Remote Could Have Been Better

    After having satellite and cable for 35 years, I recently changed to YouTube TV at the behest of a couple of friends. I figured what better streaming device to use than that supplied by the owner of the service, Google. The dongle and power supply are cleanly designed and can be installed with a minimum of fuss, and the remote communicates with the dongle using radio frequency or Bluetooth or something else that does not require line-of-sight like infrared, so the dongle can be hidden out of sight. The remote is hard, slippery plastic and is much easier to handle with a third party, silicone rubber slip cover installed on it. The buttons are very easy to push with minimal tactile feedback, so it is easy to hit one by mistake when reaching for the remote without looking and activating an unintended function. At first I didn't like the placement of the volume buttons on the right side of the device as I found them hard to operate with my thumb when holding the remote in my right hand. I have adapted by using the remote in my left hand. The device comes in three colors, white and two ugly ones, but that is subjective. Power is supplied to the dongle via a USB-A to USB-C cable and comes with a small power converter block. Two AAA batteries for the remote are also provided.

    Finally a Chromecast with a remote! I get the idea of casting to your tv and using your mobile device as the remote but fast forwarding and other things was really a pain. Love this! I would not have bought a Roku had google come out with this in the first place

    There's nothing special, better or more inclusive about this in relation to it's competitors regarding the streaming TV. I know, I literally have them all. UNTIL you get to being able to cast simply from your phone, computer, and even your Fire HD (although that takes some additional work). That's where this shines, and the 4K model is the one to buy when it's priced well.

    Best budget media streaming device. It has everything but Apple+. Even allows you to use live channels app (found on Google tv boxes) to pair with your Hdhomerun box. Remote is pretty good, I like it better than the AppleTV remote (garbage) I’m going to get more for other rooms!
