Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

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.

Of all the "Smart TV" devices we've used, this is definetly our favorite. Apps get pretty frequent updates and have large variety of audio and visual formats available (i.e. 4K, HDR, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, etc.). Integration with Google Home is really nice along with compact programable remote. Only downsides are small storage and no built in ethernet connection.

this is by far the BEST"GoogleTV" experience when it comes to wielding a remote and accessing Google-centric app content. A Here's A breakdown: - Voice response is on point - Streaming options are greatly improved over prior google viewing options - Not limited to casting content, decent variety of apps -Price is phenomenal ( I paid $39) -A solid value buy for 4K content on a budget - and the picture looks great on a good tv

Made my old smart TV smart again. So easy to use and set up. It has free TV channels, and the remote is to useful, even had voice command to make searching easier. Highly recommend if you have an old TV that still works just doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the newer ones.

We are long time fire stick users but have google products throughout the house. Loving the ability to have it all under one ecosystem now. Can control the other items through the house with the remote which makes life simple. We also like the interface as it pulls suggestions from all your streaming services onto the homepage. Highly suggest if you are a google home user.

Easy to install, not complicated at all. It’s great to be able to use only 1 remote for the tv. I was able to add other apps and also to sync my headphones. This was a good purchase. I plan to buy 1 more for the tv in my spare bedroom

I needed to add streaming services to a second older TV and I already have an appleTV box in my living room BUT I did not want to spend $150 on another apple TV so when this product came out I bought it and I'm extremely satisfied with it. Interface is easy to use, the remote itself is very easy to use but it is a little bit slippery at times. For 3rd the price as the apple version I think this is a no-brainer. I wish this was out before I purchased the appleTV box. Highly recommend.

Only negative complaint about this device just wish it had more storage .its very fast very simple to use and I love it .

Been using Chromecasts for a long time now as I find them incredibly useful, but other less tech savvy members of the family would stick with the Roku/Fire for ease of use. With this Chromecast, we can finally get rid of the other streaming boxes/sticks. The interface is so useful and clean. Easy to setup and use. The assistant is so useful and time saving, and a game changer for those less savvy. Paid way more for our Roku and after a few hours with this there's no way we could go back.

I absolutely love the interface. the remote with the quick google assistant button is very nice for getting to the correct youtube video or show/app i want to get to. My only issue i had was when i tried to play Xbox Cloud Game Pass or Steam Link on it the connection(it was next to my router) wasnt good enough over wifi, but when i plugged in a usb c ethernet adapter the internet speeds got worse? maybe it was an issue on my end but either way still love the product.

Purchased this for my parents and it was an easy set up. Great buy for older folks who have trouble navigating technology. They speak Into the remote and voila! I gave quality a 4/5 because a downside I found to the device is the texture of it. It is very easy to slip out of ones hand. I recommend the 2 year insurance on it just in case. Also if purchasing device for someone out of the US, I recommend looking into a good VPN service so you can enjoy all streaming services.

Used to have the Nvidia Shield so my exceptions were high. This little guy met them. Just be aware if this fits your needs, i have a tv do to all the up scaling and AI tricks, if you need such things, look into what would be right for you. Primary use is VPN for blackouts. The new menu is terrible, i do miss the android TV set up as this is just to much.. recommended and clutter, but if you can get past that. its fast, smooth and the remote works with all my stuff.

This is an excellent way to stream 4k video on your TV. Tons of apps come loaded on it, and it is very easy to add new ones. The remote makes it much easier to use than my old Chromecast, but I can still cast to it from my phone if I want to. The integrated menus make it so easy to find content across multiple services. This feature alone makes it more useful than my Roku. Integration with Google Assistant is another bonus, so easy to just ask google what I want to watch.

Perfect! I'm so happy i canceled cable and got this! I should have done it sooner. This google chrome already had lots of apps, i added a couple more and have so many watching options. Works with the included remote and the old tv remote, with the exception of voice search, can only do that on the chrome remote. You can switch easily between chrome and live tv. Easy to install. A++

It takes a bit of time to do the initial setup, but after that, it's super easy to use and fast as needed. With little to no input from me, it even figured out the code for my TV and it's just nice to use one remote for when we're streaming movies. It has all the "apps" needed for multiple streaming sites (which my Blu Ray only had a few, and nothing that's come out in the last year or two since it's an older model). Great buy, great investment.

I love this device! it is easy to setup, easy to use. It supports all the apps I care to use and is responsive. I had Google TV built into a couple of my TVs and this is a great add on product for my TVs that didn't have that interface. The slim remote controls my TV Power and soundbar volume with ease. Only drawback I have experienced is getting ads for shows on apps I do not subscribe to. I don't care what is on services I don't have.

Bought this to go with an aging 1080p 'smart' tv from LG that is getting sluggish and not supporting all streaming apps. This thing works infinitely faster than the TV OS did. Switching between services is quick and easy. It shows so much info on the home page. Only complaints are I wish it would have a 'continue watching' section on the home page and that it came in black. Granted its behind the TV so I don't see it...guess the white remote is easy to find.

Chromecast has always been one of my favorite tv accessories and now the added tv function has made an amazing interface. It should replace Roku as it's far superior. It definitely takes any older or less expensive tv into this era. I recommend this to anyone who loves Chromecast and wants an upgrade and wants to finally ditch there Roku. The remote is also easy to use and the voice assistant makes it a steal.

It was easy to set up. The remote control makes it so much more convenient. it displays a great picture.
