Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent upgrade to my tv's built-in app operating system. My tv's OS got very buggy when i switched ISP. It could not connect to my internet. No matter how many factory resets i would do to try and solve the problem it just kept dropping connection. The Chromcast is a great work around if you're experiencing this issue. The Chromcast connect with lightning speed. No lag and in 4k. I liked it so much I bought another for my 1080p livingroom tv. Looks great at 1080p too!

Bought this so I could use a VPN which I couldn't do on my Roku (a big FU to MLB.TV). It can be a little slow loading apps and especially after hitting the home button from an app. I also wish there were more than 4GB of usable storage. Overall I still prefer my Roku to Google TV

We purchased this to stream my sons VR games so everyone can watch and has worked great. We have had no issues.

I have used every generation of Chromecast, the addition of the remote and google TV to this iteration hands down puts this far and above it's predecessors. Also it has allowed our old plasma TV to remain smart, and not such a security threat!

Excellent product. The remote is a good addition to the previous model. The only downside is the available on board memory is low and you may not be able to keep all the apps on the device that you'd expect.

We've bought one for all of our TV'S to replace the Amazon firestick. It functions better and seems to run smoother than the Amazon products we were using. Wish the remote had some texture, it is very slippery but doesn't really bother us.

I love the remote for this. It's so nice and aesthetically pleasing. Google TV interface does get some getting used to, but I like it. The only issue is that it lags, like it feels like the dongle is just not powerful enough to render the ui. But when you're watching content it's fine.

Easy to setup. Easy to use. If you don't have a smart TV this Ali's a must have

I have tried Roku , fire stick and now this and by far this is my favorite. It so user friendly. I love it so much I bought one for my sister.

I just set up this new Chromecast compared with the old Chromecast it was way much better, it is not really getting hot and reset by itself . It was a nice, wel built materials, alot more features I love the remote control made it unit more easy to use and it was stand more comparable with the other's casting unit on the market

This very sleek device, with an amazing UI. I love google products. I’ve given this 3 stars bc 1) Initial setup is very buggy. I had to return the 1st one I bought bc remote was misbehaving during setup and afterwards. One click would cause it jump around 10 apps, etc. With both the 1st and 2nd one, it’s impossible to finish initial setup with phone, as it would Not let me sign in to my account using the phone, but do so using the remote. 2) Device only has about 4Gig of usable storage, which is very unacceptable for the era we’re are in. Even 32gig is small, but at least most other manufacturers use 32gig as minimum. Google should lead by example and sets standard. And, there’s no easy way to expand storage. Otherwise, this device will become my second favorite go to for streaming, only 2nd to my Apple TV 4K.

Amazing product. I've been waiting a very long time for Google to put a physical remote in with the chrome cast (older model) because if your phone or tablet dies and you don't have a wall outlet close by then you really couldn't use it

Bought this primarily to upgrade my original Chromecast to the 4K version and watch HBO Max. Setup via your Google Home app is super easy. If you have multiple streaming services, this device aggregates them all on your watching dashboard. This could be a plus or a minus. However, you still have the ability to select your services individually to view their specific content. Picture and sound are excellent, with supported 4K resolution with Dolby Atmos and Vision. Some negatives: There is no hardwire network ability, which limits you to whatever WiFi speed you have. While watching WW84, there was some freezing and glitching and audio dropouts, requiring a restart a couple times. Also, not too thrilled about another tiny remote that can mysteriously disappear. Instead of a new remote, Google should look at integrating this with your cell phone and any Google Home devices already installed in the home. The voice recognition on the remote is still not perfect, generating some unwanted results. Overall, if you're already invested in the Google ecosystem at home this makes a great addition for casting and streaming.

I love how much easier it is than the older Chromecast and that it has a separate remote you don't have to use your phone. It makes things so much simpler and I got it for an awesome price at Best Buy cannot be mad at all Love It!!! ;)))

Having owned several Roku's I thought I would give this a try due to lack of HBOMax support. The UI is much better than Roku. Easy to use. If you have Apple TV+ you wont be able to use this watch, at least not at the time of this review.

I’d give Chromecast w/Google TV a 4.99 Stars Rating, if I could. It’s a great streaming device. I’ve had no issues and every app that I use works effortlessly and meets my expectations & needs. I’m an Amazon user with multiple products throughout my house, so they are my go to for streaming devices. But this is a cool product.

Works great! It makes watching all the streaming services much easier for those without a smart tv. The only issue I've had is out of all the services, Disney+ is the only one that has had any issues with buffering through the marathons.

Bought this to replace a problematic MiBox S. The aux USB port on the MiBox was used with a powered hub to add video files and ethernet capability. Sadly the USB port no longer functions. In an attempt to duplicate this setup I bought this Chromecast with Google TV. A USB C hub with power pass through was necessary as well as a higher wattage power supply. To my chagrin this Chromecast will natively "see" only files formatted in FAT 32. This leaves out any media files over 4gb. I don’t understand why this is, The MiBox (when it was working) and the Dynalink, which I'm currently using on another set, both were able to access media formatted with NTFS. Not so with this device. Using streaming apps is unparalleled with the Chromecast. By contrast, using mirroring with an Android tablet playing a movie file showed sound synching problems. While this can be corrected in the TV settings, it's not an ideal situation. Am still trying to find a workaround that doesn't involve a NAS device.

Chromecast is the best for 4K streaming. The hardware works without a hitch. No lag, no glitches, it just works. Highly recommended.

It works excellent, since I have I can watch all the movies that I want
