Absolutely awesome hub for all of your apps. Very simple to use and I love the way you can see all available shows across the different apps on one screen. All for just $50.

I really love this - I'm getting one for every smart tv we have. We no longer pay for cable TV, so we get our content from a variety of streaming services. Until I got this, I was the ONLY person in the house who could figure out how to turn on the television; now even beginners can do it. As I try to explain to my mother, you don't have to connect a computer or a tablet or a phone to the Chromecast every time you want to stream something, because it's all inside that tiny box. You only need to log into your (paid) streaming services once. They still don't really understand why it works, but they can use it. (Sigh of relief)

This was a nice surprise. I've been using the Amazon FireTV for a few years now and we've been discussing within the family about a TV upgrade this Thanksgiving. *Luckily* the fireTV remote broke down and this device was almost the same price as the remote so I decided to go for this. The UI is so much better and fresher than FireTV at least, we've decided to skip the TV upgrade this year. Honestly! The tech is amazing as well - I have a FireTV with just the single Amazon remote; so I was pleasantly surprised when I could configure (easily!) the google TV remote for hardware controls as well like volume, power on/off etc.

Purchased for an older tv which doesn't have a good user interface. The google tv is fast and easy to use. Its nice to have a remote included. Good app selection.

Very pleased with how easy this Google Chromecast is to setup. Remote is very intuitive and a great feature over other streaming devices.

Made my older Dumb TV an excellent Smart TV. Easy to use remote with Voice commands. This is an upgrade to my older Ruku device.

Ease of use, simple set up. I am technically challenged and this was better than the firestick to me. The interface was simple. Not sure if others feel the same.

I use it mainly to watch YouTube on a secondary TV. I can also steam content stored on my PC with the Plex app which is nice. Seems to work well and I haven't noticed any major bugs or problems. I think it's a solid value. In comparison to my Roku Ultra: The Chromecast has a lot of advertising and channels that they want you to "discover". As opposed to Roku, you can delete all but the channels you want and the ads are less intrusive. Overall, I would recommend a Roku over this to most people unless you really love using Google's voice assistant. The Roku interface is just more intuitive and pleasant to use and you have access to a lot more apps. The Roku remote is also better and some have a headphone jack which is a nice feature. One cool thing about the Chromecast, you can easily take it with you and plug into a TV at a friend's house or on a trip.

I have a smart tv and use this for all my streaming services because some of them are not available through my tv. It’s very quick to switch between services.

About as simple and straightforward as it gets, but quick, responsive, and intuitive like most Google products. The remote makes it absolutely worth it.

Bought this as a gift for my father and mother-in-law. Easy to use and works well with apps and also screen casting Oculus.

The 4 stars is really more like 4.75, because this device is great especially for the price, but a few things missing which would be nice to have: 1) No voice to text when inside an app like Netflix. It’s a feature Apple TV which is super helpful. 2) No multi users support to separate out content. Seems like a no brained especially since you can add more then one account to the device but it doesn’t separate out the content; seems weird. 3) Seems to get a little finicky with my Sonos system where I get no sound and have to reboot the device. All said, for the price, it’s a fantastic buy. Don’t compare it to Apple TV because you can’t. I have both (non-4K 3rd gen Apple TV) and I defer to this device now when watching content because of the 4K. Also, if you have other google devices in your house, it’s a cool addition as they all work in sync.

Easy to set up. There is no lag. I am using it for YT, YT TV, Netflix, Amazon Prime and Plex. Wish that Apple would create Apple TV+ app for Google TV. Highly recommend it.

Great purchase. Faster and more responsive than built in android TV, Roku or Fire stick. Super easy to setup and use. My only compliant is that huge power button is under the the other buttons and took some getting used to. I have a very expensive smart TV Sony OLED A8H that already had android TV. I received a Philips Hue HDMI sync box for Christmas and needed to run the video through that to get the ambient lighting to work so I needed to get a smart dongle for external input. I had switched from the old chrome cast to Roku years ago for my other TVs but decided to give the new google TV a try.

Fast, superior picture, very easy and intuitive to operate

This is a great little device and for the price you can't complain. If you want to spend money on quality you can get Nvidia shield but that is 150-199. But this is a close second at 39 bucks

I was apprehensive about this until I install everything. Now that I have it working it works far better than I expected. Installing was fast and using it was super easy. If you have a smart phone it is even easier still. I am glad I bought this for all my non-smart TV's because it works great. The Only thing you have to have is an HDMI port on your computer and you are good to go. I am very happy with this product and have already recommended this to family and friends.

Fun and love playing with family and friends. Has different games and very reliable.

One of the best purchases I have made. Still works well after a few years of use and since I live off the Google ecosystem it works seamlessly

Perfect but you have to make sure you have a great wifi connection. This has changed the way I watch content. It is as easy as watching on the phone with the remote and google assistant button. In fact its easier since the tapping is eliminated and all I have to do is say what I want and google looks up the best results for me. The design is sleek and hides well. The remote is durable even after 100 drops and bites from my dog. It is worth it investing a strong wifi to support this in the room you are using it in. I may as we delete the streaming apps on my phone and just watch on the tv.
