I've owned Fire TV, Roku, Apple. etc. Google TV is a major step in the right direction. Google puts all your apps together, and makes the UI easier to use. Google Assistant addition is great. Works with your Google Home app items.

I like that Google is putting out budget models, but I don't understand why the 4K model can't be at this price point. Either way, I use this on a 1080p projector, so the 4K isn't an issue with me. This is the third Google Chromecast I own and they perform really well. I really like the remote and the audio search function (by holding the Google button on the top right). If you're in the Google ecosystem, setup is really simple as your setting are saved and easily transferrable among your different Chromecasts. The power cable is long enough, but I wish it were longer and thicker so I could run it through my wall (it would probably be fine to do so anyway). In terms of performance, it has some quirks. I haven't had any problems with this one yet because it's new, but like a computer, it does seem to slow down. So I've spent some time deleting old apps, and had to restart it a few times to correct some buffering/image artifacts that appear. Usually after a reset it fixes any issues, and luckily I don't have to do it all that often, so I chalk it up to a minor annoyance, but not something that is worrisome enough to not recommend it.

Chromecast with Google TV.. a better choice

I honestly love the Chromecast with Google TV because it begins to learn about things you like to watch and recommends things you might actually enjoy watching. The thing is speedy and I like it more than the Roku and a few other's I've had in the past. The remote I felt like I was going to break everytime I held it when I first got it but I've gotten used to it and honestly it's not as bad as I first thought.. My wire who is NOT a tech person learned to use it quickly and other than to endure her choice of shows.. I bought a second one for a spare bedroom where I can go to watch my things and life is mostly wonderful.. hopefully this review helps if you're in the market for a new streaming device..

Very easy to set up. The only confusing part was the remote. It connects to the unit via bluetooth. Plenty of channels and you can stream just about any subscription.

If you have an older Chromecast dongle like I did you will want to upgrade to this new one. It comes with a very handy remote control. You won't have to use your phone to watch your shows. I like the preset programs offered such as Plex and Pluto and there are many I have yet to explore.
The Wi-Fi connection is superior with this version and I feel in complete control of my content.

Already had the 4k version for use on an old TV at home. Got this HD one for traveling with. Was really easy to set up since I already had my passwords for streaming apps saved in my Google account on my Android phone. I docked a star because, just like the 4k version, you can't save previously used WiFi networks. This requires you to repeat the setup process when you change networks. Google really should fix this especially since my phone has these WiFi networks/passwords saved and you use your phone to perform the setup.
