Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pretty good. This is the cheapest way to start streaming. Some limitations compared to both the Amazon Fire Stick and a Roku. Good for casting. Very simple remote with volume buttons on the side.

It works perfectly fine on my Monotor.. So far I am loving it..

Not glitchy like Amazon prime but would like JW App added

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!!

The Chromecast with Google TV (HD) - Snow is such a solid pick if you're after a streaming device that does it all without emptying your wallet. It’s small, super easy to set up, and looks pretty slick in that “Snow” color. It’s simple but just feels... right. The Google TV interface is a breeze to use—just switch between Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, and all that with no fuss. Plus, the personalized recommendations are actually useful; it’s like they know what you’re in the mood for. The remote is compact and comfy, with dedicated buttons for Netflix and YouTube, and the Google Assistant button means you can just say what you want to watch and it pulls it up, which is pretty convenient (and surprisingly accurate). Sure, there’s no 4K, but honestly, the HD looks great—perfect for bedroom TVs or when 4K isn’t a big deal. It runs smoothly, barely lags, and Google’s updates have kept it on point. Bottom line: if you need a solid, budget-friendly streaming device that just works, this Chromecast is where it’s at.

The Chromecast with Goggle TV is an easy device to like, installation is easy and the Chromecast and remote are obviously well designed. Installation is easy, which is basically plugging the system into the TV HDMI and powering up then setting up phone Chrome app and initializing the Chromecast system which included a lengthy software update. I had to switch to manual install after few attempts when the system could not sync to my Wi-Fi router. The only extra step for installing software manually was entering Wi-Fi password, easy enough. Google has the device thought out well and it shows, from the installation to the ease of use while streaming. Have many streaming services and all are supported by the Google chrome. System use is straight forward and intuitive. Google Assistant works well and is responsive, from searching and playing trailer to watching movie play is effortless. The remote is similar in size to other streaming devices and is comfortable in the hand. It is minimalist in an elegant design which provides full control. A top streaming device remote. Like the full 1080 HDR 4K Resolution with Dolby Vision and Atmos technologies. Makes for a great viewing experience. What I really like about the system is that works with my PC monitor in my garage where I can stream shows, movies, and sports. The Home page shows movies and shows from all my installed apps in one central screen, convenient. Bottom-line, Chromecast is highly responsive with fast streaming and comes with intuitive system controls which also allows you to monitor and control your Home devices, lights, thermostats and Nest Cameras from the comfort of your couch, or in my case the garage.

This is the newest version of the 1080p Google Chromecast with Google TV (HD) device with streaming logic built in. The price is a reasonable MSRP of $30 and offers up everything the 4K model does except the extra resolution for those 4K TVs. Picture quality on a 720p or 1080p TV is excellent, nonetheless. One slightly negative feature is that setting up this Google Chromecast with Google TV (HD) is not as straightforward as an Amazon Firestick. We operate three of those and have had no problems setting them up for the brand of TV and the features including TV volume and Input selection features. This Google streamer is not as fast in setup, especially in that it immediately went into 2 rather long consecutive downloads for the first 10-11 minutes to update the internal software upon powering up on the very first use. The picture quality is very good on both a 720p and another 1080p TV set we tried it on. The inclusion of the volume control, input control, and power on/off control (once set up) is very much appreciated. One positive feature is that the remote also controls TV power and volume so no more needing to keep the TV remote around. Store the original TV remote in a safe place so your child does not flush it in the toilet for fun. Of course, that applies also to the Google Chromecast remote since it is tiny and smooth so it will be easily lost but one benefit of it being snow white is that it will show up when lost in the sofa or the bed. I wonder if some firms make colorful plastic covers for it as they do for Firestick remotes…will look online. By buying and using this inexpensive new device, an older, non-smart TV now has all the smarts of the newest TVs in basically being able to stream anything that exists in the USA.

TL;DR: Just get this one if you need a streaming stick or casting device and you don't have a 4K TV. I have two Google TV 4K versions and this "HD" one performs identically to those devices, minus the 4K display resolution. If you're familiar with Google Chromecast/streaming devices, and you're primarily an Android/Google ecosystem user, then just get this device. At $30, it's easily the best value streamer out there. I've used the Chromecast with Google TV HD for about 4 days and I also own two other Chromecast with Google TV "4K" versions. Comparing this "HD" version to the prior 4K version, the only physical difference is the tiny "HD" label on the rear. The box contents, included remote, performance and features of the HD version compared to the 4K version (aside from the display resolution) are identical. This will make a great stocking stuffer for Christmas. The only issue / problem (which applies to the 4K version too) is the initial setup and login process is difficult if you have a long, complex Google account password, due to the challenges of using the remote to navigate and use the on-screen keyboard. It would be way easier if Google can just implement a way to have an authentication prompt on your smartphone to login, instead of forcing users to type out a long complex password. The included accessories are the same as the original Chromecast with Google TV: remote (batteries included!), USB-C power cable and AC adapter. The AC adapter is small, and the USB-C cord that's included is approx. 6 feet, so it should be long enough for most cable runs to a nearby power strip. Overall, this is the streaming device to get for Android users or anyone in the Google ecosystem. iOS users can use the Google Home app to set it up too, but don't expect to AirDrop or AirPlay anything to it (obviously).

Chromecast with Google TV (HD) was the right choice for the normal HD TV I have. This helped to seamlessly use the regular TV as a Smart TV. It has a user friendly interface, voice control and a simple setup process. Remote is bluetooth hence it doesn't require directly pointing at the device which is a big advantage. It has dedicated buttons for YouTube and Netflix. Only downside is too many recommendations or suggestions which sometimes feels irrelevant and too crowded. Performance sometimes feel little laggy over the time of usage.

If you need an inexpensive streaming device that streams Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, YouTube and more, then look no further. Easy to set up. However, if you have an iPhone and would like to screen mirror your phone to your TV, then I’d just get an Apple TV unit. Chromecast can only screen mirror with a 3rd party app. I returned this item for this reason.

I like that it comes with a remote and I enjoy how quick it was to get started though it is not great I can’t attach both ends in the TV I have to plug in the end of chord which is hard if the plug is taken then I have to buy something for that reason for extra plugs in.

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.

We usually buy a ton of firesticks around cyber monday and black friday. The amazon firesticks just dont last. So we decided to give the Chrome a shot. I like the set up and recommnedations without searching every app. I also like that you can just cast from your phone too. Give it a shot!

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.

Great product from Google, the interface is decent to navigate through and it's cheap. The only problem that I have with it is certain issues like the volume icon staying on the screen even after resetting the system and the sensitive controls.

Great product that works seamlessly. I’ve used Roku and firestick previously and would easily recommend chrome cast as the ‘go to’ streaming device.

This newer version of Chromecast is a lot easier to set up and use. Best for streaming tv users. Made transition to streaming very easy.

Works perfect, I prefer that I can easily access my preferred music and movie apps. For the price, it's excellent, and like ROKU, I can have multiple accounts. What I don't like about them is: 1) Apps like Netflix and others that I don't use can't be removed. Alternatively, drag them from the home screen to another location. 2) If you have multiple accounts on your Google Chromecast, the remote will not control the volume keys.
