    This is my second Chromecast with Google TV. I've had Fire stick ond Roku streaming. This one supports the services that I prefer and I've had no problems with connecting to their servers. Odd but Amazon Prime seems to run smoother on Google than a Fire stick.

    It works great and the Google TV dashboard is nice. The only thing stopping this from being a 5 star is that it can lag at times.

    Good streaming device

    I ordered this to replace an older streaming device. It was getting slow, so I decided to get this version of the Chromecast since it has google TV. The most annoying part was setting up the device. You have to have a smartphone to set it up. You need to download an app and scan the QR code. It took a lot longer than I wanted since It needed to download some updates. However once I updated it, everything has been working well. Sometimes, when I stream videos, it randomly stops and has to load and reload multiple times. I think it depends on the app because some apps don't have that problem. The other issues I have are plugging it into the HDMI port and the remote. You only have to do it once, so it's not a huge deal. it was only more difficult for me since my tv is mounted to the wall and there is little clearance. If I had to do it again, I would've gotten a HDMI extension cable and plugged it into that. The remote works, but it's too small and slippery. I have to be extra careful since the bottom is rounded and has fallen out of my hand several times. It would be easier to handle if it was bigger or the bottom was flat.

    Amazing little device. I have four of them and they make my life so seamless. I'm fairly far into The Google ecosystem with YouTube TV and YouTube premium and some nest products and they all work great. Only four stars out of five because occasionally YouTube premium won't sign in for some reason and I get ads.

    Loving it. A very easy and smooth set up, I was ready to explore everything it had to offer (and it has a lot to offer, including access to apps that don't require a paid subscription), within 15- 20 minutes after the setup. It turned my dumb TV into a smart TV.

    Worth every penny!! I am a long term cord cutter and Android TV user. I have a Shield TV. Getting these for my parents. Was concerned about this running hot or freezing so I opened one to do a trial run before giving them to my parents. Left it plugged up for a few hours. Works GREAT! I will say this though. It will be a good idea to spend a few extra $$ and get the insignia 7 port USB-C hub with ethernet or Belkin version. It works OK on wifi with slight delays. That was using a Fiber wifi connection. That is not a issue with the ethernet plugged into the USB-C hub. YouTube can walk you through the set up with using the hub. It's all pretty much plug and play with some good tweaks on the videos about side loading and extra memory. Had a sandisk memory stick plugged in. Was only like 100 mb/s read rate so get a memory card/stick that has a minimum 200 mb/s read speed. That way any apps you move over to it will load faster.

    Loved this device and really wanted it to work, but no AT&T TV app available. Great to set up, ties in everything Google. Again, it would be nice if Google and AT&T would grow up and play nice.

    Bought two of these for my TVs. They work amazingly and I wish I would have come across these awhile ago as my tvs have been collecting dust for quite some time. Super easy set up and works awesome, especially if you already have Google home. Would definitely recommend.

    Works well and has pretty much every streaming app you might want. It also allows you to cast from you phone. It has great picture and sound quality. The remote adds quite a bit of functionality that you didn't have from some of the older generation chromecasts.

    I purchased this so that I could cast my Meta VR headset to my LG smart TV. It worked flawlessly. I haven’t used any of the other features yet but plan on browsing them in the very near future.

    Wonderful! I mainly use it for cable. So instead of paying more for an additional a cable box, I use the Chromecast to access all the channels. Works pretty good since I bought it about a year ago, even with the other apps.

    Easy to use and has everything all in one. Cut the cord this past year and this has been excellent, especially since it has all the apps right their. Only drawback is the remote will disconnect every once and a while. Liked it so much, we bought a second.

    Feel like these use to be better. No 4k options. Interface a bit laggy. But since roku doesn't use cast anymore it's necessary. Both that i got i had to set up multiple times to get sound for whatever reason. Interface and settings need upgraded

    Opens up possibilities we had not had before. I got it to use with YouTube TV and have decided to put that purchase off for a while, but there are other benefits such as having the same menu as I do on my new Android TV. I also like having the remote. Recommended

    I had the previous one and this one is an improvement. The remote small with just enough functionality. It's great for show and the like but I really love sharing my photos on the tv as the screensaver and re-living all our recent memories.
