    It's a nice product and a step up from the original chromecast experience, but it is not perfect. The interface is nice and the integration of programming recommendations on the home page from across multiple streaming services is a nice touch. Sometimes freezes or lags, which is likely a software issue they will work out, but it can be annoying.

    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.

    Works on an older tv and the newer ones too. I sometimes need to reset it if it has been a while since we watched the tv in another room.

    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.

    Love the chromecast. Got it so we could seamlessly cast our meta quest 2 to the tv. It also helps having apps built into the chromecast!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    OMG! This is AWESOME!!

    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.

    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.

    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 love it because the Google TV portion brings in all your streaming apps to one location. So much better than having to switch between your Amazon Fire Stick, Roku device, or any other attachment and using up multiple HDMI ports.

    This is a very useful and reasonably priced addition to any home system as well as a device to take on the road/vacation. Easy to set up and use. Only downside is that this version requires use of the included power module. Previous generation versions could be powered by the TV USB port which eliminated wasted power and extra wires.

    Google does it again. I'm a big fan of Google products. This is one. Easy to set up and delivers on content performance. Instantly turn your legacy tv's into a smart tv - as long as you have an HDMI connection and google account.
