    Highly recommend buying this. First of all it’s $50 and it has a great App selection. I have an Apple TV 4K and like using the chrome cast with Google TV more. You can even download an app that lets you airplay to this Chromecast for those who have an iPad or iPhone. I’m going to sell my Apple TV 4K and get a few more of these Chromecasts with Google TV.

    The great: In contrast to other viewpoints, I don't mind the so called ads that are part of the new interface. In fact, I appreciate the suggestions that seem to be tailored to my viewing habits. The interface is intuitive and if you have YouTubeTV, it's fantastic! Easy to setup and configure any modern TV. The not so great: For what you pay, one would expect more from the remote. It feels cheap, light and easily breakable. It does work well though

    Easy to install, and a great addition to a smart tv that doesn't have a preinstalled casting mechanism. The chromecast has some apps my own tv doesn't offer, which is very helpful

    This product is excellent, easy to use, and well assembled. I have a perfectly fine VIZIO TV (5-year-old) that is not updating to new Apps like Disney+, etc.. This Chromecast save me hundreds since I won't need to replace my old TV, just buy this product for $49 and it works better since I'm able to see all my subscription in one place from one screen.

    My TV has Chromecast built in but it was 720p so TV and movies looked quite pixelated, with this device, I can watch stuff in 4K. (Your TV, HDMI cord, and HDMI ports in the TV have to support it). I also like the simple remote.

    I like the device, it has a good layout and pleasant interface with good suggestions for things to watch but I am finding things that do not work with Google TV like AT&T TV Now and unfortunately that is the service I am using. Also in comparing to Fire TV 4K I am seeing it is a little slower but not to the point that i would not recommend it. Remote is nice size but missing rewind and fast forward buttons and volume is on right side that is proving to be inconvenient.

    The Best Streaming device for Youtube TV

    I am coming from a 4k Apple TV that went into the closet. The Google TV has the best user interface and snappiness out of all streaming devices. The remote could be a tad bigger, but better than the apple tv remote that is too sensitive. This is the best streaming device for youtube and youtube tv and I have used them all, including the Nvidia Shield TV.

    I love this! I both have this as well as Apple TV and they are both great. So easy to install and use. It is so simple to turn on and use that even my toddler boy tries to have an access to Netflix! The design is so modern and simple that makes it even more special. I have been buying a lot to give as gifts to my friends and families! Amazing product!

    It has a nice interface and easy to add those not so legal steaming apps to. But it ran out of space while I was streaming a. 3gb movie. In 2020 this is uncalled for this thing should have like 64 gb from the factory. Other than that it's alright. If you want those illegal movie apps on your TV and want to get to them easily then get this but other than that get something cheaper.

    Hope Google is reading this: The controller is amazing and the fact you put an input selector on it makes it even better. Chromecast is so much more attractive to consumers regardless of which ecosystem you're in when it has a remote that will control your TV critical functions so you never need the TV remote.

    It partially works with Samsung 8 Series TV

    I'm not sure if the dongle is defective but it will not play 4k content. I have it plugged in directly to the tv and with the power adapter it came with. The Samsung 8 Series TV plays 4k content through it's own tv apps and also from a 4k disc player. I installed the movies anywhere app, opened the app and selected the movie I wanted to see. In the movie info section it had a note stating this device does not support 4k. I tried casting to the Chromecast using Movies Anywhere and Vudu, both failed to play in 4k. The Movies Anywhere & Vudu app just won't recognize it as a 4k device. These apps will only play in HD. I love the remote, it actually controls the volume on my AV receiver. It also turns on and off the tv. Loading apps is a bit quicker than the Samsung TV apps but not that much faster. The only reason I purchase this device was because I need a device to cast my apps to the tv but this failed to deliver in 4k. I guess I will continue to use my Samsung TV apps to view my favorite movies and tv shows and my old regular Google Chromecast for casting.

    I am a Roku guy. But as they don't offer HBO Max my wife wanted a Chromecast. I'm happily surprised this is a great little dongle that gives you full access to everything that you do on Roku but including HBO Max. The little remote is easy to use and responsive. Once my roku's are finally out of service I think I may consider moving to Chromecast
