Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this because my Samsung tv is a few years old, I couldn’t use a lot of streaming apps anymore, and my prime video always crashed. This is fast, smooth, and easy to navigate.

Works as expected easy operation. Small but powerful. I like its behind the tv and remote still works great

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.

Easy to setup, and works great. Turns an older hdmi tv into a smart tv. Fast and smooth interface.

I purchased this to update the features of an older TV. What I could not believe is that the Google TV interface is a match with my new Sony OLED TVs. No new learning curve. I can't beat that,

Easy to setup. Voice remote is quite sophisticated, it picks up accurately with heavy accents. Easily syncs up with all my google home devices.

This is an upgrade after owning a previous version for years. The pairing with a 4K TV offers a beautiful picture. The installation of common media apps offers great convenience in addition to the remote.

Love that this has a remote. it turns any basic tv into a smart TV. Google interface is great, and remote works well. This also is awesome if you have YYTV, makes it work like standard cable.

I replaced an old chromecast with this, mainly for the 4k support. Surprisingly, the google tv support is outstanding, integrating all my streaming services with apps that blow away my samsung tv's apps. Tired of searching for something to watch separately on each service? This is the solution. I just searched for "Soul", and it took my straight to it via Disney+. The big con is that the remote only handles the chromecast, a tv, and an amp. If that's all you have, great. But if you have a cable box or anything else, it won't support it. Fortunately you can get a SofaBaton U1, which is truly universal for IR and bluetooth devices, including the chromecast, and it's inexpensive. Put together, they are amazing.

I had a first gen Chromecast and I was finding that newer devices were having an issue casting to it. I was deciding between this and a Chromecast Ultra, but it wasn’t clear whether the Ultra was going to get the Google TV upgrade so I went with this instead. I’m still having an issue with one device casting to it, but all the other ones cast fine so I’ll blame it on that particular device. The UI seems fine, but we are an iOS house and we have a Prime subscription, so the Apple TV and Fire Stick get a lot more use around here. Other than casting, we use it for slideshows and it works better than the other two when doing random Google Photos albums, I’m guessing for obvious reasons. All in all, I am satisfied with this purchase.

Bought this for our tvs. Easy to use and fast, working great.

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.

I love having all my apps in one place. Google logins makes it even faster to set up. It's far faster than apps in a smart tv.

I have tested basically every higher end streaming device including Nvidia Shield TV, Apple TV (2 most recent versions), Amazon FireTV Cube as well as Roku Premiere and even TiVo Stream 4K. I have found each to have positives as well as negatives (Apple TV Remote and $ for example). I recently purchased the GoogleTV with remote and I have to say given the price point and the fact that it is a first generation product that will likely only improve, I am very impressed with the user interface, remote layout, and app selection. Is it perfect? No, there are times that the screen takes a few extra seconds to load and the recommendations seem a little off but for the price point, in my experience it has the most positives going for it as a streaming device.

Great product. I lost the remote to an old sony TV, This remote was able to connect to it for the power functionality. As well as the added android tv experience. Great interface, easy to use and very convenient.

Very happy with it! Does exactly what i wanted! Puts everything on one screen so i don't have to look at each app separately on my tablet! Also like to be able to talk to the remote to tell it what I'm looking for!

Excellent streaming dongle. Fast, reliable and sturdy. The Chromecast with Google TV is a game changer in the streaming dongle race and in my opinion the one to beat. Set up is a is a breeze with the Google home app. The UI is fantastic and very intuitive, especially for a YouTube TV subscriber. It also brings all your content in one place in "for you" section. With seamless integration and the ability to add to a Google speaker group the Chromecast with Google TV is a definite must for any Google household. The new remote is a very nice addition. Small but very easy to use. If you've ever use a remote like a Roku remote then you will feel right at home with the Chromecast remote the second you pick it up You can definitely buy this with confidence.

I am using the chromecast with google TV on a google tv. Surprisingly, works quite well. There is some clutter on the home screen- many different apps, suggested programs etc. But overall it works well and gives me the flexibility that has been missing in roku and apple tv etc. So far, I love it. and the portability is amazing. instead of taking a large device around with me i can put this in my pocket. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a ui that is not locked into a media device with ties to a particular brand.

The newest version with the google tv is wonderful, the ease of the remote and the interface is so clean and responsive.
