Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have been looking for an inexpensive replacement to a dying Nvidia Shield TV and finally settled on the Chromecast with Google TV, after trying both Fire TV and Apple TV devices. We use Youtube TV, which is neatly integrated into this device as a top level "Live" tab that lets you browse the channel guide without launching the app. The Chromecast also effortlessly sets up its remote to control your TV's power and volume, so you don't need to juggle multiple remotes just to start watching something. At half the price of some of the Apple TV and Fire TV devices, this is a great value.

Love this thing, and the price is really not bad either! It works well with all of my other Google Home devices and I’ve been able to easily connect my other streaming services with no issues. Live the remote style too, simple and easy to use, and voice control works good.

Love this Chromecast it makes it so easy to access all my apps on my old tv

This is everything you could ever want from the Chromecast Experience. Its an updated chromecast with universal 4k and great audio codecs, and a sweet little remote that focuses on its smart assistant capability to become the best remote you could use. HIghly recommend.

This unit delivers the goods with Google TV. No issues with how many services it can connect to. And, it's quite fast and responsive. It would be a lot better, though, if the remote was bigger with buttons that say more - the icons are quite confusing, for example, the Power button is NOT for the Chromecast itself but for the TV. Also, when you first switch to the Chromecast input on the TV, the TV screen is blank, and it is unsure which button you need to press to wake up the Chromecast. I finally figured out I can just press the indented circle at the top. All of this could be helped with better instructions, but it comes only with a tiny booklet of how to connect it - and this booklet does not tell you the craziness you have to go through on-screen to get it fully configured and connected, including how you have to plug it into an actual wall power source rather than your TV's USB power - fortunately, I have an IT background so I could figure out what it wanted, but I pity the poor grandmothers of the world who try to install this on their own... Even so, once it is configured and connected, and once you figure out how to wake it up, it works like a charm...

This is an excellent device. It did take me a minute to setup, but once I got it connected to my wireless network, it functioned well. It's easy to use and nice to have access to everything in one place. And the remote is a good bonus.

So much better and faster than the Amazon firestick. I wish I purchased this years ago. The Amazon firestick doesn't have that much space so apps load slowly, and sometimes they hang or crash while streaming. This google device gives you access to your Amazon account, so honestly, there's no reason to even own a crappy firestick. Love this device. The other thing that surprised me was the remote automatically synced with my Samsung tv and took over the volume and power buttons. With the firestick remote I had to buy some device called a sideclick attachment that snapped on. I had to manually program the sideclick remote with my tv remote for the buttons to sync with each other. Love my Google tv. Firestick is trash.

Great product and user friendly. Simple set up and programming. Perfect fit on the back of the tv

Outstanding device and extremely easy to use! Can set up in any room with zero issues and allows you to stream any where/any time!! Upgraded from first generation and have no regrets, especially with the new controller that it comes with which makes everything simple!!

Great way to make your older tv a bit smarter , once set up it can turn Your tv on and off with included remote or using Google home (voice) or app I currently have it on a 2020 Samsung tv on my back porch

It’s a Big difference when you have access to a remote control. Although the remote looks and feel cheap. it lacks on sound quality, you have to keep on adjusting the volume every time the video plays an explosion or any other high volume sounds. It’s very easy to install and to use it’s features. If it wasn’t for the sound quality then it’ll had a 5 stars.

This Chromecast is the greatest thing since slice bread. I had the previous model and this one works so much better it's great that it has remote and it's voice activated there's so many much more functions I would definitely recommend this to my friends and family

Easy to set-up and use. While I prefer my AppleTV 4K over the Chromecast, the price makes it a great value for additional TV's in the house for which I do not want to spend the extra money for the Apple device.

We love our Chromecast so much that this purchase was actually a present for someone else. Very easy to use. One suggestion, though. With its size and smoothness, you may want to purchase a non slip case for it. Highly recommend!

I bought this as there was a deal to get 3 months of YouTube tv for half price. Its very fast and I like the feature that I can see contents from all streaming services on a single screen and I don't have to switch between services to watch.

This is a great upgrade to the previous Chromecasts where you could just cast to the dongle from your device. The Google TV UI integrates all your streaming choices together. The UI looks great and it's not sluggish at all. And, the remote is a great addition as well.

The new Chromecast is wonderful. It includes a remote control , it makes everything easier to use in living room which the previous version could not. The Chromecast is better to carry on for my vacation. I can see Netflix and YouTube everywhere.

Really solid alternative to an AppleTV, or a Roku, etc. I'd say the Firestick is better in terms of its usability and interface, but since this includes Chromecast functionality, it is better. I expected it to be a bit quicker and more responsive, but it works well enough. The best part about this vs. a regular ol' Chromecast is the vast majority of apps, including being able to download and use a web browser, eliminating the need to Cast certain content. The only negative is you need to use an outlet to power this vs the built-in USB ports found on most TVs like you can use with standard non GoogleTV chromecasts.

Much awaited improvement to the original Chromecast. The addition of Google TV and the remote is a game changer that makes the device so much easier to use. Seeing all your shows and watchlist items in a single view makes choosing what to watch so much easier.

A truly great streaming device which update have the potential to make even better. I've used this with a USB-C hub and connected a USB gamepad and ethernet for playing Asphalt 8, and I can connect bluetooth headphones in the settings and watch a program without disturbing others. I'm not a fan of the way it advertises services to which you don't subscribe, so I've mostly been running this new Chromecast in "app-only" mode so that it lets me just jump to the service I want to use. It's unfortunate that as of yet, it doesn't work with multiple Google accounts but it seems like that may be in the works. The handheld remote is very nice, although the TV input button doesn't work with my LG TV so I still need to keep my TV remote close by to switch to HDMI. You can also download Google's Android TV remote app if the Chromecast remote is out of reach and you have a pet on your lap and don't want to get up.
