A few also noted occasional lag or heat issues.

    I was looking to get something not only to mirror my phone and see pics but I was also looking for something that it was super easy to connect and navigate. This did it. I also do like the automatic scenamtic screen saver that shows on your time while not in use.

    Go figure, this thing works just like a regular chrome cast. It does stream in 4k for available content, even when initiated from a cell phone. The power adapter is a bit bulky and I wish that it could be powered from any standard USB adapter. I tried that and it worked, but it complained about it.

    Bought this to stream YouTubeTV. Although I like the google mini’s this is a little difficult. Doesn’t always disconnect from the TV. It works, but I think the XBOX is a better picture and navigation is easier. I thought I could get to just 1 remote with this, but it doesn’t work. Decent for the price.

    This thing is amazing! I’m watching Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Trouble with Harry.” For free! I just installed “apps for chromcast” and then “Old Movies” and that’s it! All free although they warn about ads. So what? Everything has ads these days!

    I like that this product is compatible with my other devices at home. I can even control it through my google home to watch movies, control my TV, download programs, etc. It is as good or even better than the Apple TV (which i also have) at a more reasonable price.

    This is a great device, I love using my Google Home to control my TV with my voice. You can also directly stream from Netflix and Youtube just with your voice. It feels like the future. I prefer this than any other streaming device I have tried (Roku, Apple TV, Amazon).

    I had some tech issues setting up when I first got it, but it seems fine now. I also had to switch hdmi ports because it stopped working in the first one (might be the TV itself). It seems to be working fine now. Easy to use once you get the initial setup completed. Lots of apps supported with chromecast.

    Chromecast continues to be the best way to quickly stream to your TV, pretty much anything you want, and the Chromecast ultra is no exception. Easy to set up, easy to use, easy to navigate content with your phone. One of the best products Google has ever created.

    The Chromecast Ultra 4K Streaming Media Player has been a welcome addition to the electronics in my home. The ability to cast onto the TV screen has made it much easier to share photos, movies, and videos. The product met my expectations and I would recommend it to others.

    if you have a Google chromecast before this model Stick with it because this is not worth it for the money. just for 4K and faster speeds this product should be priced at $30 Like the other models before it

    We are a Chromecast family so picking this up for our 70 inch 4k TV was a no brainer. Netflix is awesome on this and it is totally worth the price. Some services like HGTV stutter if you try to skip to a different point in the video. This doesn't happen with the normal Chromecast and I would guess that the bug will be worked out soon.

    If you don't have a Smart TV; or if you find the built-in software too slow to be efficient, any Chromecast will provide a solution. The Chromecast Ultra has a few nice additional features in a faster UI and the ability to play 4K entertainment it you have one of the newer TVs.

    Have had a Chromecast from the beginning. Love the response times and my picture looks so much better. Wise the app was a little easier to use, especially the Offers part but that doesn't hinder the device. If you just want to stream from your phone this is the product.
