Finally, the Chromecast is a contender in the living room! Before now the Chromecast was ok... but not ready for primetime. Now it is! I do not know what took them so long to add a remote, but it changes everything! This is not a true competitor to Apple TV!

Took a bit of getting used to compared to the original chrome cast I have, but this is amazing once you have it all set up! The ability to have all my subscriptions in one spot makes life easier. I use mine everyday for shows and kids movies

Love how well this Chromecast works! Have used it on a few different TVs and I love it. Would definitely recommend

Long overdue product for Google. Finally they put an on-tv interface on their chromecast devices. Great connectivity and program tracking with the streaming services. When you compare to the competition (like Apple's TV) it is amazing what you get from this.

Love love this. I’ve always been a fan of chrome cast and this makes the whole experience better. The remote is the best part. Easy access to YouTube and Netflix which are my most used entertainment apps. Voice search straight from the remote is unbeatable.

I just switched from a 1st gen fire tv cube and it has been great. The chromecast is much more reactive than my fire tv cube and is much lighter on advertisements on the home screen. Casting also works better (as expected)

Awesome and simple. Sideload stadia for even more fun with a controller. On the streaming side of things this works well. It suggests stuff but also tells you what platform its on AND if you have an account will automatically take you in. Does 4k/60 + HDR10.

I was hoping to be able to cast to this from my iOS devices but that only works with a third-party app and only with some media. (If I had done my research I would have known better.) The new interface is nice and easy to use, serving as a great combined hub for most streaming services.

Wanted to try this out in place of my Rokus as they can be a little laggy even with the top of the line version, plus everything in my home runs with Google. I absolutely love the smooth interface that is easy to navigate and customize to what you want!

I'm still learning to use this new Chromecast, but I like it. I have the Chromecast without the remote control on another television and am considering switching it to Chromecast with Google TV. I like the ease of accessing different streaming services.

Hands down improvement from the original Chromecast of 2017. Cleaner interface, faster processed and connectivity make this a much better experience. Only gripe is that voice control still lags behind any of the Amazon products (no voice search or control in certain apps is a glaring omission). Another one that may seem obvious is no Apple TV+ support.

Excellent, we enjoy with this device. We watch everything we want. My family is happy.

I bought it to get HBOMAX the cheapest option but I love it it’s very quick and I like the android operating system and also the YouTube and all the other channels I can download I would recommend it for those people who don’t have a smart TV or an older TV.

Just what I needed. I use Plex to stream media around the house and remotely. My 4k TV can't handle the formats coming from Plex (and I don't want streams transcoded). I tried using an XBOX One but the audio sync is always an issue. I upgraded the video card in my PC to a 4k capable model, but it can't handle HDR content very well. So I started looking at streaming device options. I'm deep in the Google ecosystem so I figured for the price I'd give it a shot. Hallelujah! This thing is awesome. Setup was easy breezy, lemon squeezy. It's been working well, controlling my TV and home theater receiver. The biggest drawback is the size of the remote and button layout. And dedicated play/pause, fast forward, rewind, skip buttons would have been great. I will definitely be buying another unit for another TV!

I was pleasantly surprised how polished this first generation of Chromecast with Google TV is. I supposed Google has used the manufacturers of Android TVs to refine the experience. Only a few issues you can overlook, like the main screen starting up a bit slow and then recommending things from services you don’t have. Overall very good though.

I have some gripes...but don't let those deter you. This is a great way to stream TV and "cut the cable." Others have written about the good points...let me just pick some nits for a moment. The remote is round and slippery. It has slipped from my hands and crashed to the ground while on the treadmill more than a few times. The user interface (UI) is confusing at times. That's because you stream with different apps from different providers (eg Netflix, Prime, YouTube TV, Paramount, Disney, etc). Each one has a slightly different set of reactions to the buttons. Sometimes I can join a program in progress recorded on their "DVR" other times I can go to the beginning. I can't figure this out. The back arrow seems to have a mind of its own. Maybe that's due to the way different apps respond to it. Integration with the Google Home app should be improved. I believe it is impossible to add a device to a "room." If you want a device in a "room" it appears that you have to set it up that way from the beginning.

I bought this because my current smart tv interface was very obselete and would crash a lot. I already owned an older chromecast but not with google tv. This was hands down a great decision and I use it literally every day.

The best device for streaming ive ever had. Quick easy setup even for a electronically challenged person that i am!!

WoW Best Low cost media casting device with a remote control. Google android media apps include: youtube, netflix, amazon videos, tubi, pluto, plex, kodi and more Definitely a big upgrade over old Chromecast hardware.

After having used a different brand of streaming device that seemed to constantly have issues, I have absolutely loved using my Chromecast. It flawlessly streams the 3 different streaming services that I subscribe to. Very easy to install and setup.
