Amazing love love love this! It works so well and it’s pefectly set up. Way better than any other plug in device! Best purchase I’ve made for my tv in a long time

It is a great device I am enjoying it so much after I tried it I went back and I bought few more to give them as gifts.

Wonderful addition to the Google Smart Home devices. Especially love that casting is seamless and that you can use the official Google app as a remote and hub/dashboard.

Grat fro what I need it easy and simple to use love the remote control.

I love watching movies using my new dongle and the remote to it great feture to have.

The Chromecast is great because it allows me to use my Google Home to voice control my Samsung Smart flatscreen. I enjoy using Youtube since I have many home videos stored there. The Chromecast remote allows you also to control the volume on the TV as well.

Chrome Cast watching is the greatest for all kinds of shows from art classes and musical performances, including live operas. So easy to setup too. Being able to project onto my big screen helped me get through the pandemic.

Plus: Home screen that gives you previews of what is trending or new. Hooks up with Google Assistant and comes in handy to control the TV from anywhere. It saves preferences and profiles. You can even watch TikTok on it. You can also talk into the remote as you would your phone when using Google Assistant. The Youtube and Netflix buttons come in handy because for whatever reason after watching a show we usually default to opening one of those 2 apps. Cons: I like the simplicity of only the 2 streaming service buttons, but part of me wonders what if we had more (such as hulu, hbo, disney etc) plus The navigation buttons are very similar to an old ipod (button with circular directional surrounding). They look and feel nice, but at times the buttons mash and you try to move right but end up moving down or up. That is the only reason why i gave a 4 star, if the buttons didnt mash i would give it 5 stars all the way!

A huge improvement to a regular Chromecast. I still can cast from my phone, but I can use it directly with the remote. Also, I plugged a USB-C hub on it and I was able to use a webcam and have a video chat on Google Duo with my family in front of my TV! Awesome!

Google TV is a great value add to Chromecast. It provides access to multiple free TV streaming services with minimal effort

I have a 4K TV with a built in Roku TV and it pales in comparison to this device. Setting it up was super easy, the Google TV OS was very snappy, and casting local 4k media worked flawlessly. If you are looking for a good and affordable 4k streaming device, then look no further.

This new version of Chromecast is a phenomenal device for users without TV cable or dish services. I now have two Chomecast devices on my smart TVs. I use them to watch free movies and cast other streaming services. Works well on DSL, which is the only internet access I have.

great replacement for smart tvs that have slowed down with their built in software also makes it easy to connect any device i wanna chromecast from!

Amazing little device. I have four of them and they make my life so seamless. I'm fairly far into The Google ecosystem with YouTube TV and YouTube premium and some nest products and they all work great. Only four stars out of five because occasionally YouTube premium won't sign in for some reason and I get ads.

Useful even if you already have a smart TV, in my opinion its faster and the apps are always up to date. I got this by $39 and the delivery was super fast. The 'negative' thing you cant use the port usb on TV to power the device.

Finally a Chromecast with a remote! I get the idea of casting to your tv and using your mobile device as the remote but fast forwarding and other things was really a pain. Love this! I would not have bought a Roku had google come out with this in the first place

After having satellite and cable for 35 years, I recently changed to YouTube TV at the behest of a couple of friends. I figured what better streaming device to use than that supplied by the owner of the service, Google. The dongle and power supply are cleanly designed and can be installed with a minimum of fuss, and the remote communicates with the dongle using radio frequency or Bluetooth or something else that does not require line-of-sight like infrared, so the dongle can be hidden out of sight. The remote is hard, slippery plastic and is much easier to handle with a third party, silicone rubber slip cover installed on it. The buttons are very easy to push with minimal tactile feedback, so it is easy to hit one by mistake when reaching for the remote without looking and activating an unintended function. At first I didn't like the placement of the volume buttons on the right side of the device as I found them hard to operate with my thumb when holding the remote in my right hand. I have adapted by using the remote in my left hand. The device comes in three colors, white and two ugly ones, but that is subjective. Power is supplied to the dongle via a USB-A to USB-C cable and comes with a small power converter block. Two AAA batteries for the remote are also provided.

It looks like it is as good as a Fire TV. The device looks good and the remote is nice. However, it is a bit getting used to how to navigate through everything. I saw that a USB hub could be connected to expand its storage and other capabilities so that was why I purchased it. However, it would have been better if it has more than 4G of storage. That was just not that much at all.

I ordered this to replace an older streaming device. It was getting slow, so I decided to get this version of the Chromecast since it has google TV. The most annoying part was setting up the device. You have to have a smartphone to set it up. You need to download an app and scan the QR code. It took a lot longer than I wanted since It needed to download some updates. However once I updated it, everything has been working well. Sometimes, when I stream videos, it randomly stops and has to load and reload multiple times. I think it depends on the app because some apps don't have that problem. The other issues I have are plugging it into the HDMI port and the remote. You only have to do it once, so it's not a huge deal. it was only more difficult for me since my tv is mounted to the wall and there is little clearance. If I had to do it again, I would've gotten a HDMI extension cable and plugged it into that. The remote works, but it's too small and slippery. I have to be extra careful since the bottom is rounded and has fallen out of my hand several times. It would be easier to handle if it was bigger or the bottom was flat.

Great user friendly interface. Software continues to adapt to your viewing history and provides useful recommendations. You get a lot in the small package. If you're a YouTube TV subscriber, you can also reprogram the YouTube button on the remote to launch that app directly.
