Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works great, love it. Can use it with the rest of my smart home

Excellent product, Excellent service from the store, the collection is very easy and fast.

very good small streaming device this should be in everyone house

Not glitchy like Amazon prime but would like JW App added

Bought this for my parents to help get them away from the excessive cost of cable - can’t wait to buy another one for myself! The chromecast is great for all streaming services and any android apps to add to enhance the experience.

this is my second chromcast. The HD is a good value for the money.

Good product, I would recommend this product to streamers

A great way to update old tv .Get access to all treating services

There are many possibilities with this device. Easy to setup and use. However 8G storage is definitely not enough, no need to mention that the system would take more 4G of the 8G. I would rate five star, if it is with a larger storage.

It's Nice. It does what i need it to do. 4 Stars!!

Remote is not consistent. Back button is hit or miss. Other than that it seems to operate pretty well. Solid platform. I prefer it over a fire stick. About even with a Roku/w voice remote.

Best option to make your TV smart, multiple app options and easy to use.

Google Chromecast with Google TV is a very inexpensive and effective way to upgrade your older (non-smart) TVs to utilize the wide variety of streaming services available today. It is very simple to set up, provides great menus for source selection and a very nice, compact voice-controlled remote. Google, founded in 1998, is the largest subsidiary of Alphabet, one of the largest technology firms in the world. Google provides search technology, online advertising, cloud computing, email (Gmail), web browsing (Chrome), navigation (Google Maps), video sharing (YouTube), operating systems (Android), productivity software (Workspace), language translation and many other online services. It also produces consumer electronics products including Pixel smartphones, Google Assistant, Nest smart home devices, wearable devices (Fitbit) and this Chromecast device. Here are the key features: • Google Chromecast with Google TV (Model: G454V) • Provides 1080p (with HDR10) streaming content from a wide range of services • 3.0 inch x 2.5 inch wireless receiver dongle with 3 inch HDMI connection cable • 59 inch USB-A to USB-C power cable • 5 volt, 1.5 amp, 7.5 watt power adapter for USB cable • Remote control with power, volume, home, preset Netflix, & YouTube, Google Assistant buttons • Two AAA alkaline batteries included • Google Assistant voice control through remote • Access to thousands of apps through Google Play • Wireless connectivity: 801.11a/b/g/n/ac • Bluetooth connectivity to remote control • Set up through Google Home app • Full easy to follow on screen instructions • Manufactured from recycled plastic (49% by weight) • One year warranty The Chromecast device, cables, power adapter and remote control are all very attractively designed. They are nicely rounded, very compact and their color is a pleasing arctic white called “Snow.” Even the included AAA batteries are a matching white color. Set up is very easy. Simply attach the USB power cord to the included adapter, connect the USB-C end to the wireless receiver dongle and plug that dongle into an HDMI port on the TV. Then use the Google Home app on a smartphone to set up the wireless connection to your network. The device will download firmware updates and it will be ready for use. You can then mate the remote to your TV so that it can control power, volume and (in most cases) the input switching. The menus are very easy to navigate and seems to include all streaming services (Netflix, Prime, Disney, Apple, Hulu, Peacock, Paramount, HBO, Sling, Spotify, YouTube, etc.) plus many free services found in the Google Play app. Connections were solid and provided a very clean data stream for all services I tested. The remote control connects to the dongle via Bluetooth so line-of-sight is not necessary and the range is at least 30 feet. You can safely expect that the device will work perfectly in most home situations, reliably covering multiple rooms. The device is very compact and lightweight so it can be attached to any HDMI port on the TV and just hang unobtrusively behind the TV without straining the wiring. The 59” power cord is long enough to easily reach an available power source. Or, you could just plug in the USB-A end into a USB port on your TV (most TVs have a USB-A port.) No matter how old your digital TV is, this Google Chromecast device will instantly upgrade it to the latest “smart” functionality. In fact, even if your TV has streaming functions you might find that this unit adds some important capability which you did not have (such as voice search or Google Assistant controls). The beautiful, tiny remote gives you access to not just all of the streaming services, but also provides to the full range of Google Assistant capabilities. You can use it to control your lights, thermostat, doorbell cameras, etc. if you utilize Google Nest devices. You can also use the remote to answer questions or do quick searches using the power of Google and the breadth of YouTube to quickly find relevant material. Given the comparable price and basic capabilities, the obvious comparison is to Amazon’s Fire Stick. But I think the Google Chromecast is superior in several aspects. First, it is undeniably more attractive. The beautiful color and shape of the remote is a pleasure to look at. Second, it probably has a broader range of apps available, due to the extensive Google Play library. Finally, because its software is based upon Google search technology, the search function is certainly superior to anything Amazon can offer. I am delighted to give this great and bargain-priced device my full and enthusiastic recommendation!

Setting up is ridiculous. You have to download an app to your phone - then create an account - then go thru a bunch of setup menus on the device - then a ton of updates - then more setup menus on device - finally it takes another 10 minutes to finish setting up. Everyone at Google who created this awful out of box experience should be fired.

Easy to use. In terms of streaming performance, the Chromecast with Google TV delivers excellent quality

The Google Chromecast with Google TV has revolutionized my home entertainment setup, providing a seamless and feature-rich streaming experience. Here's why this streaming stick has become an integral part of my entertainment hub: Simple Setup: Setting up the Chromecast with Google TV was a breeze. From plugging it into the HDMI port to connecting it to my Wi-Fi, the entire process took just a few minutes. The user-friendly on-screen instructions made it accessible even for those less tech-savvy. 4K Streaming Excellence: The inclusion of 4K support takes my streaming experience to a whole new level. Whether I'm watching movies, TV shows, or gaming content, the clarity and vibrant colors delivered by the Chromecast are truly impressive. The device ensures that every detail is sharp and lifelike. Google TV Interface: The Google TV interface is a game-changer. It aggregates content from various streaming services into one easy-to-navigate platform. The personalized recommendations based on my viewing habits have introduced me to new shows and movies that I might have missed otherwise.

The remote is intuitive, and the inclusion of shortcut buttons for popular streaming services enhances the overall convenience.

i always loved the chrome cast its been a great steaming device

I like it , I got this on Black Friday , good deal .

The Google Chromecast is something that you need it even if you think you don't need it, more so because it costs only $30. This product is of the highest quality, is attractive, and easy to set up and use. It brings a large number of apps, everything that comes with free programs is very modern. Very easy to use and you don't need a new smart tv as this tops it. The third-generation Google Chromecast is better and is more complete since it includes a remote control and displays a home screen with all your apps on your TV. The remote control is easy to operate and with it, you can turn your television on and off, as well as control the volume. The remote control allows you to go directly to Netflix or YouTube with the press of a button. It also has voice commands. Performance-wise it’s about the same as the Google TV 4k edition they released last year but costs a lot less. Google limits the video output on the HD model to 1080p only but it otherwise retains all of the features of the more expensive version including its support of Atmos surround sound. I have a Visio TV, but the system is very limited, thanks to this Chromecast, I have been able to take advantage of it. The quality is super good, the control responds even faster than the TV, I can install any android app on it. HBO is an app that I couldn't use on the Visio system since it stopped responding, but with Chromecast, it runs smoothly and without any problem. Sometimes we have to click the connect button twice to get it to work, but otherwise it's been very good. Ever since I've been using the Google TV apps instead of my TV's built-in apps for Hulu and prime video, and I noticed something: when I watch TV shows on my Visio apps, I have to keep turning the volume up to hear the dialogue, but then turn it down again when the background music and sound effects get loud to keep from waking up my kids. But when I watch on my Google TV apps, I don't have to do that. I don't know if it has some kind of leveling or compression software built in, but I don't have to keep riding the volume button. The remote itself is slippery and hard to hold on to. Do yourself a favor and get one of the cheap silicone covers to help. Also, there is an ambient mode that allows me to use my Google photos as a screensaver. It gave me the option to choose photos by names of people in them, or by albums, or my favorites, so now when we're not watching a show, we can have pictures of my kids scrolling on the screen, which has been a lot of fun to watch. Overall, I give the Chromecast with Google TV top marks and would highly recommend it.
