Good Streaming Device

I feel this is a decent streaming device for the price. I purchased it because the only way I could cast from my Google Pixel 8 Pro to my LG tv without third party apps and glitches was with this device. So far, no issues.
When streaming from the device, it doesn't lag, shows good 4k, but the Home Screen is not very customizable.

I have been a Chromecast user for a long time, but it was never my primary device because I never loved having to control it using my phone. This new Chromecast solves that with the inclusion of a remote and it is wonderful! I love the interface and it has actually replace my Roku. A few software updates and I think this thing will be near perfect!!

Finally, a replacement for my apple tv

Slowly but surely I've been moving away from Apple into the Google ecosystem. I'm not a fan of Roku's interface or the Amazon Fire Tv. Considering the Apple tv devices start at $150, and I got this for $50, I was skeptical on what I may be losing.
So far, I love the remote in comparison to the apple tv. It's bulkier and feels like a better fit for my hand. I love the fact it has an input and power button on it, as well as a mute button.
Android TV has really been spruced up with the new Google TV changes. I enjoy the new appearance. Everything so far has worked great. Google assistant is way better than Siri, and the experience is consistent between devices. It's also way easier to use my google photos albums as the screensaver or "ambient mode" on the tv. Good luck doing this on apple tv without sharing your entire library.
My only gripes are:
1) This doesn't come in all black
2) The Netflix button on the remote isn't customizable
3) The android tv remote app syncs terribly and doesn't allow me to use my password autofill the same way apple tv does with iphone. It also fails to register keys being typed on my phone. It's been a while since I've had to use a tv remote to type in passwords. Updates can fix this though.

Chromecast that is worth purchasing

Google has updated their chromecast with Google TV OS. The user experience seemed a bit getting used to, but the addition of the remote and being able to use voice assistant really helps make the user experience. Having the flexibility and option to use casting from a smartphone/computer or to use the remote to search for your media is nice.

Great Google TV device. I had the original chromecast years ago and I didn't like always using the app to control it and it looked horrible compared to a Apple TV. This one looks great and if you have a 4K TV you can see how great the picture is. The OS looks good too and the remote is the game changer. For only 50 dollars, this is a steal.

Adding a remote made Chromecast great again!

I was an early adopter of Google Chromecasts but grew tired of having to use my phone as a controller and moved to Apple TV in my living room. Once this new chromecast was announced I jump on the opportunity to buy it and test it out.
Setup was easy and was complete in under 5 minutes. UI was very easy to use but sometimes it slows down. I loved the fact that I can change the "YouTube" button shortcut to go to YouTube TV since I am subscriber and that is my main TV service. Google Assistant moves very fast (almost faster than other dedicated devices).
Only gripes are with the feel and look of the remote. Feels a little cheap but cant expect too much at a $50 price point. I really wish it came in black as I can see this white remote getting dirty fast from handling it a lot
Pros:
-Easy to setup
-Shortcut buttons (YouTube TV users can change the "YouTube" button to go to YouTube TV instead!)
-Assistant is fast, seemingly faster that my other devices
Cons:
-UI is easy to use but definitely slower than my Apple TV
-Remote feels cheap but hard to complain at $50 price point
-Wish the remote came in black, I can see this getting dirty fast
Overall a great device that was a welcome change with adding a remote!

Brings Android to the TV in a compact, easy to use package. It could benefit from a slightly faster CPU or perhaps a bit more RAM, but I use it daily with minimal lag, batteries for remote are included which is nice to see. For the price? Fantastic.

Brand response from Google Team
Posted .
Hey there, Dallin! Thanks for the review, and we appreciate that you like the Chromecast with Google TV (4K). We hear your concerns about its performance along with its storage, and we’ve taken note of this for future improvements. Meanwhile, we suggest clearing the app cache that can help as having a sizable amount of cache stored would affect its functionality. Here’s how:
- From the Google TV home screen, in the top right, go to the user profile icon and select Settings. - Select Apps and choose the app you're having trouble with. - If you can't find it, select See all apps. - Select Clear cache and then Ok. - If clearing the app cache didn't work, you can try to reset your Chromecast with Google TV (4K) by following the steps here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/6254654

The Google Chromecast 4K allows me to load apps on my smart tv that the tv itself does not support. , The 4K Chromecast also highlights on the tv picture. The picture is very vivid and sharp.

OMG! This is the device that I've been waiting for. No more looking at the live guide on my cell phone. The remote gives a great guide that leaves you feeling like you're watching "real" tv from a real service. Also, YouTube, Netflix and Amazon items are right there to watch too seamlessly.
Why is this cheaper than the previous Chromecast?

Skeptical first about the white because I meant to buy this for my WeMax UTS prjector. But the build quality is nice. The set-up was so easy and fast. The remote is super responsive. I think, for the price, I paid $39.99 sale price, it was a super-value buy.

This is my second chromecast, but my first Chromcast TV. I decided to upgrade after my dad got one.
It’s super easy to use. I love that you can integrate it with the sound bar easily. The remote is easy to use and understand and I love being able to use the apps on the tv rather than casting shows from my phone or computer!!!

I only bought this so I good voice-command free Youtube music videos. Works great! Just say "unforgettable fire live video" to play a U2 live performance ... so cool.
I'm sure if you have a lot of paid apps it's even better.
Setup is a breeze.
I just ordered another one for my brother. I just wanted to make sure it worked well ... it does!

Excellent customer service from BestBuy. The Google Chromecast is easy to set up and perform as described. I am saving like $15 per month in my xfinity bill for the 2 I bought from BestBuy. Honestly, get it and stream to your TV if you don't have a smart TV. TV pictures are noticeably sharper. Good investment and a nice to have.

Good product but the remote control is rather touchy. Once you get used to it, it's not bad. Overall I really like the product. I had a fire stick and I actually like this product more.

Very easy to setup and get started on a Samsung TV. Using the small remote is easy to accomplish all aspects of App management and operational control for primarily YouTube TV app and HBO Max. The circular wheel to control fast-forward, rewind, stop and start are quite easy to operate. However, the volume controls on the side-edge of remove are difficult to operate because the volume up and down buttons are so small.

I really like the chromecast, especially the remote with the microphone for verbal commands. It loads a little slower than going through the television itself but it's worth the wait. It also programmed very easily to use with my Polk soundbar, which it turns on and off with the television. I would recommend it to all my friends.

It supports tons of apps, so there’s always something to watch.
The picture quality is fantastic with vibrant colors and smooth playback.

I love this version of the chrome cast. Since you have a remote, you don’t need to go through the trouble of using your phone to set it up. It’s ability to not only cast other devices but also has apps on it for the most common services, makes it even better. It is very responsive and let’s not forget 4K.

This product is the only one you ever need to buy for smart tv applications. Works on everything all built on the same platform for ease of use. I love the way the default skin looks works and operates. If you don't have one you need to purchase one, especially if you already have google voice installed in your current home setup.
