    Amazing product at this price. Older smart TVs that don't have all the apps such as HBO Max can be improved with this. The little remote is an added bonus. My only complaint is I wish the remote was a bit larger to allow holding it by the end and use the buttons. Having said that, those buttons, power and TV source are not used that much. I highly recommend it and I'll probably buy a second one for an older non-smart TV.

    Upgrade from Roku Streaming Stick

    Pros: Easy setup. I like how it shows all of my streaming services in one dashboard. Input, volume, and power buttons for TV are really nice upgrade from my old streaming stick. Cons: You can't use the USB port on the TV to power it. Must run to a plug. Remote is really slick and smaller and buttons are too so it's easy to press wrong button and/or drop remote. Not a huge deal. Just took some adjustment. Love it still.

    This Android TV chromecast dongle works very well. The addition of the remote control was all that it used to lack. The process in the chromecast isn't amazing, but it gets the job done. Very handy for traveling.

    I love this chromecast with google tv ! It turned my 10 yr old tv into a smart tv. I only have internet and this has allowed me to sign up for streaming services and easily maneuver between the different services. And it also has a 'voice' option which allows me to ask 'it' questions. I don't miss cable for one minute! Easiest transition . 100% recommend chromcast with google tv 4K

    Love this device. It has 3x more memory for downloading apps than my New 2022 Samsung 65in miniLED TV came with. I loke being able to take it with me so I can wireless stream my fav content from my Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra smartphone. Also more apps available from Google Play Store than Samsung's Tizen OS.

    this is great, you can stream stuff easy and from your phone too, if you have a dog just keep the remote away from them in a place they can't find because it can be confused as a treat especially if you don't clean it after you eat and handle it cuz they might try to eat it thinking it's a bone, my vet doesn't blame me but just a heads up, it's not good for your dog if they eat it, recommend the product though

    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.

    Very happy with my purchase. It does however make my tv staticy sometimes when I turn it on. It doesn’t happen all the time and goes away pretty quickly. I’ve noticed it did this with another tv I have it connected to as well. Love that everything is connected through one remote.

    Important missing/inconvenient features

    I really wanted to love this device and replace my Fire TV Stick 4k with it. But every time I use it I'm reminded why I like the Fire Stick better and where Google is lacking. Pros: Navigation is pretty nice and not really complicated. Picture quality is very good. Scrolling is good enough. Ability to side load apps. Cons: placement of volume button is terrible. Only device I've ever owned with volume on side. Google should just straight up copy Amazon here and just put all buttons on the "face" of the remote and make the remote a bit bigger. No ffw/rew buttons would have been a MAJOR deal breaker for me if I'd thought about it before purchasing. Can't ffw/rew with just press of a button. Very inconvenient. Especially when used to ffw/Rew in 10 sec increments, for example. Although you can side load apps, some never show up in apps list. You have to go into settings and go to installed apps to find/open them. If there was at least a "recently used apps" list on the home screen, like on the Fire Stick, that would be enough, but of course that's something else Google is lacking. Lack of a decent available browser, namely for video playback, is a big disappointment too. Nothing nearly as good or user friendly as Amazon's Silk Browser. Practically never goes on sale vs Amazon devices being on sale almost constantly. I'll probably end up selling this device and just hope for a better, updated version in the future.

    This is an excellent product. I have been a longtime fire stick user, and was looking to upgrade, when this device launched. The price was reasonable so I decided to give it a try. The set up was easy, and I like the interface. Integration with my streaming services was seamless, and the supported apps seem more comprehensive than with the fire stick. Also, the Best Buy staff were very helpful. I strongly recommend this product.

    Fantastic product! It lets you quickly turn any TV into a smart home Cineplex. You can easily find and watch movies from a wide variety of streaming services. Unparalleled ease of use. We do not subscribe to any TV services and don't miss that at all. I have bought half a dozen Chromecast devices via Best Buy for free delivery to family members. Great value!

    We love our Google TV dongles, they just work so well. Couple that with the ability to add my children's accounts so I can monitor/control their access and it's a win win. We have one on every TV in the house that supports it!
