    The Chromecast w/ Google TV was plug and play out of the box. Attached it to my TV and connected it to my Android phone without any problems. Now I'm watching Disney+, Netflix, and YouTube in the comfort of my living room. It's a great device to access your favorite shows. It was a worthwhile purchase and I recommend this for others.

    I love this streamer. I've had everything out there, recently tried the Tivo device (3 times, all horrible) since I have Tivo throughout the house. I get HBO Max with my cell plan but it wouldn't run on Tivo. This device has every service I need and keeps it all in one place. It's a little slow to connect when switching over to it but overall I'm happy with it.

    If you need a streaming stick/box get this for 40$ it is amazing and beats out the Apple TV and fire TV. The only reasons not to get it is if you need airplay or if you need to stream games then you should look at the Nvidia shield

    I used to use all my apps that were available with my smart TV. However, there was latency when using the apps so I decided to get the Chromecast. The user interface is extremely simple to use and there is a variety of applications available. I plan on purchasing more Chromecasts for the rest of the TV's.

    Already have 2 fire sticks, but also have a bunch of Google products so thought I would give this a shot. It links to my google account and I have a Pixel phone so easy to cast to tv. I am used to the Fire Stick UI so probably biased, but I am not impressed with UI on this so far, maybe there are ways to customize but I don't like having to click all over the place to get back to an app I use alot. I do like the set up and the ability to control TV.

    Best streaming option available IMO. Took a star away for always showing streaming options I don't have (even after deselecting some in settings). Almost feels like ads and causes a few more button clicks to navigate. The 2 best things are showing everything (and more unfortunately) in one area / searches all apps and that you can download Kodi. I've been able to keep up with sports, shows, and PPV with the Xanax repository. Youtube "Kodi xanax" if you're interested...

    Didn't quite match up to Amazon Fire Stick

    Very functional and useful streaming device. Simple yet very intuitive remote. Only issue is that after setting it up to control TV for video content and AV receiver for audio content, it's been hit & miss whether both TV and receiver remote's turn on when I push power button on the remote. I tried exact same set up with an Amazon Fire Stick & it works flawlessly with TV & receiver. So, great device if you don't need to also control audio through an AV receiver.

    Works well, allowed us to fix Youtube.TV settings

    Works well. Better than slow apps on an old TV. We got this because Youtube TV 4K requires you to set your home wifi. Since this is a new setting and requirement it's only available on smart TVs, i.e. Android Smart TVs. We only have Roku and Apple TV's so we picked this up so that we could make that setting change. Worked easy. But now that we have it we rather enjoy it. Helps make an old smart more up to date. Remote is decent, some of the buttons I wish were different, but just because I'm used to the Roku remotes. They don't have a play/pause button so you have to hit the center enter button. That took a little getting use to.

    The remote is perfect and simple. The voice control works surprisingly well. Google TV is much better than expected, recommending perfect shows and movies based on what I've watched already. Well worth the price.

    Best of all the streaming boxes/sticks

    I just purchased one a few days ago and now I'm going to get another because it does everything that my Amazon fire stick and my Roku does only better. For example, I purchased two Firesticks just so I could play all my digital movies and TV shows I have on my WD Cloud Drive (NAS drive) because it was the only thing I knew of at the time that would display the subtitles and CC on them using the VLC app. Well I found out quickly that there were lots of flaws to the app that was irritating the heck out of me. Like if you played a title that started with any letter, say a "B" (I look at the drive displayed as folders) as soon as you hit stop, it would suddenly show that title in the letter "O" spot instead of "B". Not only that but would also change the title to seemingly random characters/letters/numbers (didn't actually change the file name, only the listing in it's own display). Well the Chromecast with Google TV, VLC app, didn't do this at all. On top of that, I have all the other stuff/apps and more, that the other 2 had as well. I will be hooking a wireless keyboard and mouse up to it in a few days. I'm sold it's just the best of all of them combined and more.

    My tv doesnt have the applications like the Google Chromecast does. It is really affordable and I love the features on it. Makes watching tv more enjoyable with Netflix, Hulu, YouTube and other apps all ready in hand.

    This is by far my favorite hub for all my entertainment apps. It’s really snappy, integrates well into my google home ecosystem (which is extensive) and has a price you can’t argue with. Only issue at this point is the lack of a Apple TV app. I have a huge movie collection on iTunes and they way you access them currently is trash. Other than that, it’s awesome!

    Best 4k steamer + stadia available. Just sign in with your gmail account and you're ready to roll. It also has a great single interface for accessing all your streaming services. I got it on sale but after having owned it for a few months, I am planning on picking up another to replace a Roku on a secondary TV.

    Nice product, smooth functions, and seamless set-up. Could even control auxiliary speakers connected to monitor! Price is a bit high compared to amazon fire stick 4K; otherwise great product. Couldn’t install 3rd party apps, so I am choosing amazon; but i loved the use of this product.

    I sold my Apple TV to move to this and I've been very happy with it. The interface is straight forward and the apps are smooth and work well. I use rabbit ears with the HDHomerun app, Hulu, Prime, Netflix, and a bunch of different cable apps like Discovery. Everything works very well. My ONLY gripe so far is that entering passwords via voice isn't possible.

    Google Chromecast, an amazing unit! This is so EASY. Just click the button, tell it the movie you want! It searches and finds the movie! No more trying to remember if the show is on Netflix, Prime, Disney, etc. This unit was pretty easy to set up. Just enter your user name and password one time, and then it is very easy! Well worth the money!

    Updated to this unit from a earlier 1080 P version that kept overheating and shutting down. This unit seems to be much better and we’ve been able to watch without any problems at all. It seems like another good updated model from Google. I happened to purchase the last one on the shelf at my local Best Buy so my assumption is that they are doing well.
