    Pros: Easy setup. I like how it shows all of my streaming services in one dashboard. Input, volume, and power buttons for TV are really nice upgrade from my old streaming stick. Cons: You can't use the USB port on the TV to power it. Must run to a plug. Remote is really slick and smaller and buttons are too so it's easy to press wrong button and/or drop remote. Not a huge deal. Just took some adjustment. Love it still.

    Important missing/inconvenient features

    I really wanted to love this device and replace my Fire TV Stick 4k with it. But every time I use it I'm reminded why I like the Fire Stick better and where Google is lacking. Pros: Navigation is pretty nice and not really complicated. Picture quality is very good. Scrolling is good enough. Ability to side load apps. Cons: placement of volume button is terrible. Only device I've ever owned with volume on side. Google should just straight up copy Amazon here and just put all buttons on the "face" of the remote and make the remote a bit bigger. No ffw/rew buttons would have been a MAJOR deal breaker for me if I'd thought about it before purchasing. Can't ffw/rew with just press of a button. Very inconvenient. Especially when used to ffw/Rew in 10 sec increments, for example. Although you can side load apps, some never show up in apps list. You have to go into settings and go to installed apps to find/open them. If there was at least a "recently used apps" list on the home screen, like on the Fire Stick, that would be enough, but of course that's something else Google is lacking. Lack of a decent available browser, namely for video playback, is a big disappointment too. Nothing nearly as good or user friendly as Amazon's Silk Browser. Practically never goes on sale vs Amazon devices being on sale almost constantly. I'll probably end up selling this device and just hope for a better, updated version in the future.

    A great deal, especially on sale now. They've been discontinued, so get one while you still can. The replacement from Google costs twice as much, and the "improvements" won't be noticed by most folks in reality. Don't worry Google has stated they will still support them, it's the same basic software, new one just has a little more storage memory most never use, and a little faster chipset, but still streams just the same

    this is great, you can stream stuff easy and from your phone too, if you have a dog just keep the remote away from them in a place they can't find because it can be confused as a treat especially if you don't clean it after you eat and handle it cuz they might try to eat it thinking it's a bone, my vet doesn't blame me but just a heads up, it's not good for your dog if they eat it, recommend the product though

    This is an excellent product. I have been a longtime fire stick user, and was looking to upgrade, when this device launched. The price was reasonable so I decided to give it a try. The set up was easy, and I like the interface. Integration with my streaming services was seamless, and the supported apps seem more comprehensive than with the fire stick. Also, the Best Buy staff were very helpful. I strongly recommend this product.

    I love this chromecast with google tv ! It turned my 10 yr old tv into a smart tv. I only have internet and this has allowed me to sign up for streaming services and easily maneuver between the different services. And it also has a 'voice' option which allows me to ask 'it' questions. I don't miss cable for one minute! Easiest transition . 100% recommend chromcast with google tv 4K

    I love the interface and the suggestions from all of my apps in one place. As a long time Chromecast user It operates just like chromecast if you need it to, but I am enjoying browsing on the TV. The thing that stops it from being a 5 star is the controller. It gets lost easy, it has an odd shape that doesn't sit on anything well, it's small, and the buttons are so easy to press it can interrupt everything you are watching. Hot tip: I found my TV controller works with the dongle so the controller stays in a drawer now. Not sure if that is possible with every TV.

    Good performance. Netflix and Youtube designated keys can be remapped (by downloading Button Mapper app from playstore). I also mapped the power and volume buttons to work with a seven year old TCL. I suggest not ordering a Blue or Pink as those versions are seriously backlogged (even if they show in stock momentarily). You will end-up waiting weeks and finally receive a automatic BestBuy cancellation which happened to me.

    This version of Chromecast was very simple to set up, including setting up the TV power switch. It prompted for streaming services I use and added them seamlessly. I am very happy with this new version that includes Google TV.

    Hands down my favorite streamer interface. It delivers my main apps. Passwords are often remembered by Google. Apps are simple and straight forward. Value is absolutely there with no real bloat. I prefer it over my Roku and Firestick.

    Very easy to use. Pretty simple interface and good resolution, in my opinion the best bang for your buck. Only thing i believe its lacking is the menus lag a bit, as in you click on something and it takes a second for it to load.

    The Chromecast with Google TV worked as expected. I enjoy many streaming programs including the Amazon Prime streaming movies and streaming TV programs that are not available from our expensive AT&T cable service. Mainly paying for the AT&T cable to record Hallmark programs which we have not yet found on a streaming service. Still learning options available on the Chromecast with Google TV,
