    The Chromecast with Google TV is worth the money. It has replaced our NVIDIA shield due to the updated interface which we think makes it easier to use. I've purchased two of these devices. I did have an issue where the remote became disconnected from the device. I contacted Google support and they walked me through a factory reset of the remote (Remove batteries + press/hold the home button + install batteries). It's been working great ever since!

    I decided to buy this streaming device for my S-N-L. I brought it for her to replace the Google Asus Nexus Player I brought her 6-7 years ago. Which is still working. Was going to wait & give it to her for Christmas. But decided to just give it to her as soon as it arrived. Only took 2 days for it to arrive from BB. She said this is so much better and faster than the old streaming Nexus Player.

    Love this so far! We're looking to cut the cord from cable TV, and this might nudge us to finally do it. The first 2 weeks after we plugged it in, we didn't even turn our cable box on! (We were binge watching shows we had wanted to see, to be fair...) Need to get some additional subscriptions (Disney+ and so on) but still well worth it. The A/V quality is excellent, and no lag (we have cable internet).

    Works really well, I love the Google system and how easy it is, dont drop the controller though because the batteries and cover come off and go flying fairly easy

      The batteries and cover don't seem to be very secure, do they? Don't worry, we'll share your feedback to help us improve future designs. madebygoogle

    After using this for a few years, the hardware suffers from a glitch that drops the video signal every few seconds. Hard Rebooting works sometimes... The remote has always been an issue (it is extremely slippery)

    A great deal, especially on sale now. They've been discontinued, so get one while you still can. The replacement from Google costs twice as much, and the "improvements" won't be noticed by most folks in reality. Don't worry Google has stated they will still support them, it's the same basic software, new one just has a little more storage memory most never use, and a little faster chipset, but still streams just the same

    I upgraded from my old Chromecast. Honestly did not need the other features it has such as the other programs associated with it like Netflix, Hulu. If you're looking for something to just broadcast YouTube videos or Netflix, you don't really need a google Chromecast or a Chromecast at all. you can just straight broadcast what you're watching to the tv.

    This is a great improvement over the previous edition chromecast device, which I now have on another TV in the house. The remote is fantastic and works so much better to surf through different streaming services and get recommendations. It is also more reliable to use, as the streaming was often hit or miss on the previous chromecast with my phone not always recongizing the device or not establishing a connection after selecting it.

    Fantastic with the Android TV OS. I have this as a replacement for most of my TVs own OS because it just outclasses it in every way. It's snappy and easy to use, and most importantly it can access all of Androids entertainment apps unlike a TV OS with a fractured app presence. I would say this is a must have. It can also be controlled by other remotes, I have this paired with my LG CX remote and it works perfectly.

    My mom doesn’t have smart tv, but when Japanese TV channel switched their business to streaming service, this was the best choice for her to easily watch Japanese TV as before.

    This is well worth the price. I got this because I have started to make my home a Google Assistant Smart Home and this was a much needed product. With this you can have access to all of your apps and more features that are incorporated with your TV in one item. It makes everything a lot more simple and doesn't give up quality of what you are viewing; in fact I would say it makes the viewing better for some shows/movies.

    Easy set up, I like how the apps are laid out on screen. Note:Seems it was defaulted to lower quality video, once I changed in settings to do video based on source, the colors intensity really increased to true HDR. Initial default setting made colors look washed out compared to same movie through my Roku box, now it looks as good as my Roku output, but I can watch HBO Max thru the Chromecast, whereas I couldn't get that app/channel thru Roku.

    Fantastic device. I have an older HD TV that isn't a smart TV and I didn't want to buy a new one. I used an old blu-ray player that had a few pre-installed apps but updates were no longer supported. This device is a great alternative to watching my streaming services. And the remote makes it so easy to navigate. I'm so impressed and would recommend to anyone. FYI: If you are looking for live TV, you'll have to subscribe to YouTube.
