Customer Ratings & Reviews

These devices offer such speed and flexibility that I was hoping to gain after cutting cable and switching to stream-only. Much quicker than most smartTV’s OS, the response time of this little device is quite impressive. You do have to connect to out or powered USB-A, which is annoying in some TV placements that don’t have hidden power, but I still give it 5-stars

I use it mainly to watch YouTube on a secondary TV. I can also steam content stored on my PC with the Plex app which is nice. Seems to work well and I haven't noticed any major bugs or problems. I think it's a solid value. In comparison to my Roku Ultra: The Chromecast has a lot of advertising and channels that they want you to "discover". As opposed to Roku, you can delete all but the channels you want and the ads are less intrusive. Overall, I would recommend a Roku over this to most people unless you really love using Google's voice assistant. The Roku interface is just more intuitive and pleasant to use and you have access to a lot more apps. The Roku remote is also better and some have a headphone jack which is a nice feature. One cool thing about the Chromecast, you can easily take it with you and plug into a TV at a friend's house or on a trip.

My wife and I had the original Chromecast, and I always favored the freedom and how up to date the system was, but it wasn’t always convenient pulling out your phone and installing all these apps to then cast to your tv, but with the new Chromecast, her and I absolutely love it! The interface is smooth and intuitive, and the voice assistance is the best on the market, in my opinion. I think for the price point, this clearly beats the other competition, even if you’re not a Google person, it’s worth to try out because it’s really not a device that will put you in the hole. Overall, love the experience!

Before I purchased this product I was tossing between buying another firestick or the chromecast. I am so glad I made the right choice when I picked the chromecast over the firestick. I love the fact that I have 1 remote for everything I need when watching TV; controls the volume, power & of course ALL the apps. The set up was very easy & self explanatory. If you plug it directly to the tv's usb it will reboot every single time because it doesn't have enough power, make it's sure plugged directly to a wall outlet. In my opinion better than the firestick; the best $50 dollars I've spent!

Gift for my mother, easy to setup, easy to use, great interface allows you to customize the Home Screen to have only apps you pay for to pick from.

Excellent product from google...easy to use interface with a great remote control highly reccomend if you have an outdated tv/ smart tv without all the new apps

So far I like the device. Haven't had it long enough to fully understand it. Handy for casting from phone and puts all your streaming in one place,so for that, it's pretty cool .

If you live in the Android ecosystem and watch a lot of content from multiple sources, then this device is a no brainer. It's really awesome to have everyting you want in one place. Just make sure you have a 4K TV so you get the most out of the Chromecast. I also suggest getting a silicone cover for the controller because that little thing is slippery.

A better smart TV than your Smart TV. Most smart tvs have very inexpensive processors in them and they can be slow to use, and difficult to navigate. The Google TV is super simple to use, and very quick to use. It's very small, and hides behind your TV, and just needs a USB cable for power (you won't be able to use the USB port on your TV, so, it will need to be plugged in... but It comes with a fairly long cable...

If you live in the Google universe, this is the best streaming device out there. I started with one in the living room, but quickly went back to buy two more for my other TVs. The naming convention is confusing - this is much better than the original Chromecast device (without a remote) that requires a cell phone to use. This device can replace a Roku or an Apple TV. If you buy any movies or TV shows on an Android phone, they are watchable here on your TV. There are a ton of apps for streaming services including Netflix, Hulu, AppleTV, Disney+, Plex, Peacock, and more.

Love the new Chromecast. The remote controls volume and power on my tv which is nice. The interface is snappy. Has all the apps I need. Great device.

Work wonderfully and way better than Roku, works well with my 4k tv. Easy set up and love the ability to cast. Easily hidden and takes no time at all to install.

Great streaming device. Much faster than my TV's smart features. And this Chromcast has a great remote and many more apps than my TV does. Also, you can use this for Stadia. Stadia is getting better, so this thing is like a futuristic game console. Great purchase. Only issue, and its minor, sometimes Youtube will freeze if you skip to Youtube with the button on the remote. Weird for that to happen on a Google device, but I'm sure they'll iron that out. If this happens to you, just unplug and reconnect power to the Chromecast. Then, go to Youtube from Home - that works great.

The 4 stars is really more like 4.75, because this device is great especially for the price, but a few things missing which would be nice to have: 1) No voice to text when inside an app like Netflix. It’s a feature Apple TV which is super helpful. 2) No multi users support to separate out content. Seems like a no brained especially since you can add more then one account to the device but it doesn’t separate out the content; seems weird. 3) Seems to get a little finicky with my Sonos system where I get no sound and have to reboot the device. All said, for the price, it’s a fantastic buy. Don’t compare it to Apple TV because you can’t. I have both (non-4K 3rd gen Apple TV) and I defer to this device now when watching content because of the 4K. Also, if you have other google devices in your house, it’s a cool addition as they all work in sync.

I absolutely love this thing. Better than chomecast in my opinion. The remote connects to my tv and soundbar. Very fast with great app.

Well I won't bury the lead. I love this device. It's all I use to watch TV anymore. It's fast. It offers me all the apps I could want. Its integrated recommendations seem to learn quickly my preferred type of content and does a good job with offering me stuff I haven't seen and end up enjoying. My only complaint is probably the frailty of the remote. It's light and made of plastic. I'd advise buying an aftermarket rubber casing or something similar to ensure that when you drop it , it doesn't suffer debilitating damage.

Honestly super impressed. Quality/speed is almost on par with Apple TV. Missing a couple apps but otherwise great for casting and streaming. Much better than a Firestick.

This is a really nice product. I turned my 5 year old projector into a giant smart TV with this dongle. Definitely recommend it because it is very easy to use and fast.

Really neat device that is quite fast. I love how the remote takes over control of the sound bar and tv so easily - got rid of all my other remotes

Performance is great. Remote is easy to use. I dont like the bloatware on firesticks and this android streaming device eliminates that. Highly recommend!!
