Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Bought one to try as both a good device for Google TV and and to see if it would be better than my Roku. This unit plugs right into the back my my TV, and because my TV does not have a newer USB port, I have to run a power cable to it, so it does not look great with my wall mounted TV. I already disconnected the Google TV service as it's really not much cheaper than cable TV and I dislike the menu UI a lot compared to Verizon FIOS. However, as a device to display streaming channels, it's pretty good, and one thing we especially like is seeing movie and TV options from all of the streaming services I subscribe to, instead of loading each service and looking for shows. The remote is OK, and the system is actually more responsive than my Roku (the most powerful of the Roku line), and the voice search works well. The ability to bookmark shows in the main menu seems inconsistent, but I am enjoying the unit overall and it might replace our Roku for good.

It works great! You can't watch your apps right off of the Chromecast or you can from your phone like you would with a older Chromecast I will get a lot. It works perfectly for everything. And the Google TV app that it comes with is also pretty cool. It actually has a couple Of live TV channels

First one that I got was defective and would not boot up fully. Light blinked a bunch but nada on my screen. Went back to the store and traded it for another which worked immediately. So much better than the standard Chromecast. The casting was fine but sometimes it would act funny and the stuff I watched sometimes skipped around even though I had it set up on 5ghz, same as my phone. None of those issues exist with this one. The remote is great and linked up to my A/V receiver (which I got second hand with no remote) allowing me to control the volume. Also I was able to put more apps on this thing, including emulators. So now I can play SNES games with my PS5 controller linked up via bluetooth. It's great.

This Chromecast device is awesome. It's easy to set up and learn how to use. The interface is super easy to navigate. So easy, in fact, that I eventually want to purchase another unit, and would gladly buy it as a gift.

Works, great and excellent picture. Very easy and straightforward to use the remote. I like the feature when you hit the power button, it switches the TV to Chromecast input.

Like the new look, the remote makes it easy to use. Connects quickly and the picture is clear.

The BEST that money can buy! I bought this for many reasons: old Smart TV could no longer be updated, added to the Google Smart Home and price. It’s fast, easy to use... the list can go on and on. DEFINITELY worth investing!

Cut the cord and brought an older non smart tv back to life. Love the chromcast! Recommend to anyone that wants all the latest viewing apps on an older TV.

Our LG TV has chromecast built in. The problem is that TV OS is always slow. Extremely slow. The lag between switching apps, pausing, unpausing and casting is non existent when using a chromecast instead. When I cast kids shows to my tv, it powers on the TV and plays the content faster than I could get the TV to turn on and begin to load the first page. I would recommend using chromecast as your TVs default operating system every day of every week forever. Seriously.

The older generation Chromecast devices are glitchy. But, this one is super solid. And, it isn't just Chromecast. It is a full TV streaming platform with a remote that puts it in the same category as Apple TV and Roku. I'm a big Apple TV user, but now I use this much more than Apple TV. It is cheaper, smaller, and for the most part just as functional. It even has a stripped down Apple TV app built in. I'm a huge fan of this. Only complaint is the form factor on the remote. It is small, slippery, hard to hang onto, and the volume controls are especially wonky to push. Except for that, this would be 5 stars on ease of use. But, you can live with that since the device is so solid.

I recently switched to Google Chromecast with Google TV from the 2020 version of the Roku ultra and I must admit Google has done a great job with this new version of Chromecast. The UI is much more modern and intuitive very snappy and is a refreshing experience versus the age-old UI from Roku. I have been using Roku devices since their inception but am I'm fully ingrained within the Google ecosystem. I decided to make a switch once Roku pulled YouTube TV and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The Google Assistant integration is excellent the picture quality is much better than what the Roku ultra was providing with Dolby vision turned on. If you make the switch from Roku I am sure you will be just as happy as I am!

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

So far the Chromecast with Google TV is my favorite interface and streaming device. It's very convenient and supports all my favorite apps. Even streams 4K content at a very affordable price.

I've been waiting to be able to replace my Roku for years, I always thought the rokus UI was behind and the Google UI here is exactly what I wanted. The remote is small and easy to pair with my TV and soundbar as well

The Chromecast has always been my favorite but now that it has a remote control it's become the leader when it comes to functions. It has a browser for one. And the price is another reason to consider the Chromecast.

I believe I have owned every brand of digital media streamer or player. So far this is the best I've used. Fast, simple to setup and use - love the remote and it integrated well with our older TV.

This has made our tv viewing so much easier! It’s fast, easy to use and the remote is a perfect fit for my hand. I still can’t tell if the plug has to be plugged in all the time. That wasn’t very clear.

Throw away any other streaming device you have. The interface is great, easy to use and fast. Add in the fact that it streams in 4k and is updated frequently and you can't afford to pass on this. Definitely recommended.

This is a great value for streaming. The remote will even control all the other smart devices in my home. I love it.
