This made it very easy to cast from my Android phone to the Chromecast that I plugged into a BenQ projector.

This newest version is far superior to the old version that required you to use your phone to cast. We have a few of the earlier iterations of chromecast and I’m ready to upgrade all of them to this version. The remote is simple and easy to use; even children can figure it out.

Works well with both of my TVs Hisense and Sanyo. It was fairly simple to set up. Remote is compatible and will turn the TV on and off as well as adjust the volume. The remote has a button on it to activate voice control but you can't use voice control from other devices.

Very easy to set up. the voice search is pretty cool. As with all Google devices, it knows all of your accounts and searches them for whatever movie or show you are looking for. Connectivity is very solid. Plus you can control your tv's power and volume with it.

This has exceeded my expectations tenfold. It literally has all the streaming services including HBO Max that Fire sticks don't have and Kodi which you don't need a roundabout way to install. Then if u have an Android phone, casting is real simple. Best purchase I had in a long while

Wonderful! I mainly use it for cable. So instead of paying more for an additional a cable box, I use the Chromecast to access all the channels. Works pretty good since I bought it about a year ago, even with the other apps.

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.

This is a fast, smooth, and beautiful streaming device. My only wish is that it had an Ethernet port so I can stream proper 4K content without having to worry about my WiFi being problematic.

I am very happy with this device so far (2-3 months of daily use). I've had AT LEAST 7 Roku devices completely lose the ability to connect to WiFi over the past 3 years, so I'm hoping this holds up much better. The interface is quick and easy to navigate.

THE BEST $50 STREAMER OUT! I'm a bit of a addict when it comes to these devices. I own them all, from the Shield Pro, to a few of those Android TV Boxes you see on Amazon and most everything in between. Believe me when I say this is the most complete device at the $50 price point.

I bought this as a gift for my parents! I set this device up for my parents, and they are in love with this device, and so am I! I am now able to cast movies and shows to their TV screen to spark their interests. My parents are amazed with the ability to cast music as well!

Good, But Remote Could Have Been Better

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.
