Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've had ROKU, Apple TV, the original Chromecast, and now this. After using this for over a month, I will be purchasing one of these for each of my televisions and never having to worry about what app is supported or what input I have to be on to watch my content on any service. This works with everything, controls the TV power/volume (including surround setups), and basically simplifies everything into a single interface that is easy to use.

Coming from a Chromecast Ultra, I had decent expectations for this new device, but none too extraordinary. But from the day I received it, I knew Google had did something good. The setup took about 10 minutes and was not complicated at all, and it installed all of my streaming apps for me which simplified many parts of the process. It’s such a snappy device in such a small form factor and for its price you can’t go wrong. I highly recommend!

Excellent device need improved more for use some app example directv stream is not working on Chrome but for cell is ok or table but for Chrome is not available they need to do the apps universal for all devices to use Chrome not only for select devices but on stream resolution and access to Google ambient is perfect and easy to navigate on all ecosystem

By far the best mainstream streaming device available. Google really knocked it out of the park on this one. Definitely gives Roku a fierce competitor. Nice thing about this device is that running Android you can pretty much load or sideload any available Android apps. Video is excellent. Responsiveness is super snappy. Remote is a pleasure to use. Price is direct competition to Roku and Fire TV that are much more limited in use.

This is an exceptional value and amazing upgrade to my clunky Samsung interface on my TV. Setup was super easy and integrates into the Google Home ecosystem pefectly. The included remote, which separates this from previous versions of chromecast, is a nice upgrade to the one that came with the TV. I was surprised to find that the buttons were mapable. It easily controls the volume and power functions on my TV. Worth every penny!

Love love love! My favorite streaming device, so easy to hook up and pretty snappy quick.

After doing many hours of research, I decided to go with this device and it has not disappointed. The "new" Google TV is working great! I am using it with YouTube TV and several other free apps. No hiccups! I have it on 2 tvs and I am using 2 other Smart Samsung TV's that don't need a streaming device. I might buy 2 more because I like the Google TV unified interface so much better than the Samsung TV version.

Much better iteration. Faster and easier than previous generation Chromecast

I love this gadget. Pros:fast, easy to use, voice functions, no cons. Just a great little device.

This my second Chromecast with Google TV due to it being truly the best streaming stick around. I even, like this one better than the built in TV interface on LG, Samsung, & TCL TVs. The interface is full of great feature plus its super smooth and love have the google assistant right on the remote. If you have a google account, get this over Roku, or even Amazon fire sticks.

I don't understand the negitive reviews this is very comparable to quality with nivida shields. People need to realize yes it's new so there will be more support to come, theres also something you can do to speed up the chromcast alot more, go into settings and turn on developer options and go to animations and change them from 1x to .5 times it speeds up the chromcast by alot. I haven't had any problems with crashing or anything like that

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)

For the price and functionality this little unit is hard to fault. It has tons of features, performs really well and disappears behind the TV. Search isn't as universal as Roku and it really needs a storage upgrade but at just a few bucks more than some generic Andoid/Google TV boxes it's excellent. If they can fit another 24GB of local memory and ethernet in this thing, and address some software glitches I would totally give this 5 stars. That optional ethernet, power brick combo that Google is selling for the device is a complete ripoff, otherwise this is a bargain.

Probably the easiest setup of any smart device I've used. Works great and a very nice user interface.

Awesome for the price..Easy set up!! Fast no lagging..

Excellent product! Easy to install and configure. Do not buy Roku and buy this one

I use this and a firestick. This is much quicker and I like the interface better than the firestick.

I bought this to use with my Samsung qled TV. While the TV itself has streaming apps the interface was annoying and practically unusable. Every time you have to keep going back to the samsung tv+ whatever so that the sound bar can be controlled. Enter the Chromecast - easy to use, since it plugs into hdmi it functions properly with the TV. No buffering or issues. Love it!

Works as intended. Fast and easy to navigate home menu.

Easy set up, easy to work with, fast and reliable,
