Customer Ratings & Reviews

I really didn't know much about this device before I shopped the store, but the gentleman who helped us was extremely patient and knowledgeable about the various devices. This turned out to be the most economical option. The remote is extremely easy to operate and our picture quality is great.

I have two of these in my house. Nice little smart tv add on if you don't have a smart TV or if you just don't like your TVs UI. Casting works well. I cast my Chrome tabs so we can watch movies that you might not find on other streaming platforms onto the TV.

I have been using Chromecast since the original and I loved every version. When this released, I ordered immediately! With this latest iteration, you are able to use the remote with the device. No phone necessary (but there is the option to cast if needed). Much quicker for things to load up and easier to navigate with remote. Easy set up took all of 10 min. All my streaming apps work (youtube, Netflix, hbo max, and Disney+). Only app I have to cast is ATT Tv Now, but I hope they will update an app to be used for the device soon.

The best streaming device out on the market at this time. I had a Chromecast Ultra, but would find myself using my PlayStation for streaming more often than the Chromecast due to the functionality of the PlayStation PDP remote. I find it more convenient than using my phone as a remote and draining battery, waiting for it to re-establish it's connection to whatever it is I was streaming just to pause or play something or rewind. Therefore I wasn't even taking advantage of my 4K TV. This new Chromecast changes everything. I can't believe what I've been missing out on in 4K HDR 60FPS (which my PS4 didn't support) the remote is so small and simple. Albeit, it's VERY easy to lose ESPECIALLY if you have curious toddlers that love to grab things and hide them. Just about every streaming service you can think of is supported (except Apple TV of course but then, what are you doing with your life?) I love it so much, I bought 2. One for the bedroom which is currently using a 10+ year old 1080p TV which doesn't even support HDMI CEC. So the added functionality of the IR blaster in the remote makes it EVEN better. There's really nothing I Don't like on the new Google TV Chromecast except MAYBE the new USB cable which is actually Shorter than the Chromecast Ultra USB cable. (WHY Google) Also, if you plan on getting power from your TVs USB port, you might get a message saying it does not have enough power and they want you to use the included USB brick. That's my only gripe. Otherwise highly recommend, this is a Huge upgrade from the Chromecast Ultra

Takes chromecast and adds steroids. Been a chromecast user from the beginning and this by far is the best one yet. Interface is fantastic super smooth I haven't run into any issues. Links to my accounts no issues. Best thing about it the remote. Can control my TV and sound bar from the same remote. Probably gonna replace my other chromecasts ultras. Streams 4k no problem but my router is only 10ft away that might help. I bought the ethernet adapter from Google and it made a world of difference. Highly recommend

So far I'm enjoying it and consider it a good purchase. However, there are somethings wish it could do or were better. I bought this for an older non-smart led tv that still works as good as the day I bought it. The Blu-ray player I bought for this tv will not get anymore updates so Netflix and Hulu it would eventually have trouble accessing. Chomecast became my answer. Picture quality is amazing, sound is great, controls are simple. Setup was fairly easy. Things I think could be better? More control options on the remote, screen mirroring for Samsung phones, and I wish it had a microSD or USB built-in for use with flash drives and other storage devices. All-in-all, I'm happy with my purchase.

I always favored Roku devices until this got released. Is it better? I would say that it's a matter of preference. I originally got it because Roku at the time didn't have HBOMax (that isn't an issue anymore), but I've still not disconnected this from my television. I like being able to Cast from my computer or cellphone straight to my television. I have a Vizio TV, but this way is more stable and reliable. Sound and picture are great, and it's more customizable than the Roku. Very happy with this purchase.

The new Chromecast is easy to install and setup, especially with the Google Home app. The remote works great with my TV so I don't have to keep switching remotes! Having my movies/shows centralized and sorted based on my watch history is very helpful when picking something to watch. Only problem is that there's so much to watch. Using the Chromecast with Google Assistant on my android is simple and responds quickly. Google has greatly improved on the Chromecast with Google TV, streamlining my streaming experience.

Working great so far. Hdr and 4k is working great. Snappy performance. Nice interface. Easy setup. A great device for the price.

I was very skeptical that I'd use this thing. All my tvs are Smart tvs. With all my apps that I've subscribed to. However, the ability to say "continue watching (insert show) is such a handy tool. All my apps all under one page. No more searching for a show through various apps. This is a nice way to consolidate your stuff. I also got this so I can view all my Nest cameras I've got around my property. Very happy with this and now I have them on each TV.

I bought this for my mom and I so that we could watch kdramas on Viki and it works perfectly. Previously we just used YouTube but they really only show clips of dramas. Now we can watch all the thriller and suspense kdramas like Penthouse on our TV. It was easy to set up and works with her android. The remote is especially helpful for my mom to navigate through the different shows so, I’m glad I purchased this version. The only downside is that we are watching too much TV but I don’t mind.

Makes my 10-yr old Sony TV operate like a brand new one (regarding the OS and its capabilites, of course). The interface is very fast, I like the layout of different streaming services and suggestions and the ability to be used by different users - to the level of each one getting its personal layout. Without any programming the remote recognized the Sony TV, which comes as an added bonus.

Easy to use, picture quality looks good, best streaming device you can get

This little device is slick, easy to set up, and a great update to the original chromecast. Now, the entire google play store is at your tv's disposal, along with device mirroring. I bought it specifically when a certain High Budget Office content provider was having disputes with fire tv. Though those have been resolved, I find myself liking the usability and interface of the google device more than that of the native fire tv it's plugged in to.

As everyone that uses streaming devices knows, the absolute best device you can pick up is an Nvidia Shield TV. But if you can't afford to put down the money for the Shield -or- if you need a device to travel with, this is the next best thing. This is far better than the previous Chromecast devices, adding a whole new interface as well as a remote, solving a lot of problems in the process. Hopefully people that bought Fire Sticks will realize they're using a bottom of the barrel device and upgrade to this.

I've had Roku and Firestick prior to the release of this iteration of the Chromecast device. The first generation Chromecast really wasn't great, it was more of an inconvenience to have to use your cellphone device especially if your WIFI isn't great, however, THIS Chromecast changes it all. It's so much better having a dedicated remote and the user interface is friendly and easy to navigate around, plus it has Bluetooth compatibility. This will now be my 5th purchased device.

Its just easier in my opinion. The ui is simple, my 5 year old was able to figure out how to manuever within the app within 15-20 min. Can set up profiles for childern to use and restrict there apps. It just works.

We've been a Chromecast family for years - we have Nests, Home Hubs, Chromecast Ultra and recently upgraded to this new Google TV equipped option. I'll echo the other reviews that mention excellent value for money - the easy to navigate user interface really makes this a more mainstream option for people who aren't quite so savvy to use their phones to cast everything and/or prefer not to get HGTV playing by barking out orders at their Google Home. But I wanted to put up this warning for people who might try and install their Google TV that there is a bug with the software that may completely prevent someone from enjoying it. When you start initial setup for the Google TV, there's a moment toward the end where it will attempt to download apps but suddenly claim it cannot access WiFi. This will happen despite the fact that you might have even already given it access to your home WiFi network earlier in the setup process! The worst part about the screen is that it gives you no obvious way to actually manually connect to a wifi network - if you click the settings button on the remote it'll stubbornly remain in the error screen. It's incredibly frustrating. As someone else mentioned online, the way to get around this screen is to click the YouTube button on your remote to bring up that app, which will display its own error message but includes a button for you to open the connection center and input your WiFi credentials. Clearly this is a major set up bug that essentially renders the device useless. Even if there is a way to circumvent it, it is by no means intuitive, nor should the lack of ability to navigate to a settings page ever be part of the user experience. For laypeople who likely bought this because they aren't as tech savvy as the typical Chromecast user, this would probably be a totally showstopping bug that would cause them to return the device saying it was defective. And it is. To be clear, once we got this working we have had an absolute blast using this to navigate through our shows and streaming services. It truly feels like an incredible streaming device on the order of the Apple TV 4K at 1/3 of the cost. But the out of box experience is worth talking about, if only to help other regular people actually get to enjoy what this device can offer.

Google has finally caught up with their competitors, but the wait was worth it. I've had all other streaming sticks, and google has by far the best overall experience. Interface is very fluid and fast over other build into TV systems. Support for all apps you'll actually use, functionality and responsiveness are top notch. If your in the market for an independent streaming device, i highly recommend this product, its worth the extra cost for a reason!

Love the ability to play a movie on my phone and chromastin it on the TV also the little remote is great easy to use and with voice control
