Customers often highlight the Chromecast Ultra's ease of use, excellent picture quality, and impressive 4K streaming capabilities. Many appreciate its straightforward setup and generally positive performance. However, some users mention the relatively high price point and the lack of a dedicated remote control as drawbacks. A few also noted occasional lag or heat issues.

    The ultra is better in every way. It's even better for standard HD screens because it's just faster. Think of it more just newest, fastest edition rather than 4k edition. Worth the extra

    If you have a 4k TV and a google home, you can actually use this to turn your tv on and off. works great for moments when you don't have your remote. The screen casting is amazing as always

    originally thought it would work well for streaming both pictures and video from from my Samsung Galaxy S8 plus. Pictures are fine but the video files start and stop. I guess only a hard wired connection will provide the transfer speed required for video. Good product but not for this application

    So much better than the standard HD Chromcast that I had several years ago. Easily connects my 4k OLED tv to any device...no need for Apple TV. Very easy to set up, and it connects lightning fast.

    Simple to set up an mirrors your device - Other than mirroring my device I am not sure what the extra cost would suffice - Like not losing the remote but it is also would like a remote to use intstead of phone also

    Chromecast has cool stuff that it does, like casting whatever I'm watching on the internet (through a third party app). The thing I don't like is that it doesn't have a home menu or a remote. I know for some this is a selling point, but for me to open my phone, find the app, search what I want, then cast, its waaaay more than I want to do. I'd like there to be a remote first off. And with the remote there should be a home screen to configure and discover apps like one would use the google home app, only NOT having to go through their device to get to the app. If you have multiple devices than obviously this would not be an issue. But since I use my phone it is for me.

    Easy to use, so glad they added Hulu to the voice commands! Still having an issue however watching Netflix with subtitles on. It keeps crashing the device and tv :(

    I bought this hoping I could find a way to get cable to my extra room TV. Well you can't do that, but you can watch almost any other service on this. I recommend for a spare room.

    Google has put an emphasis on providing easy tools to allow you to use the internet to it's fullest. The Chromecast Ultra is simple plug and play with deep clarity in the picture and sound.

    Works great. I have a 4K Samsung smart TV that I am using this device on . Streaming seems to be much more fluid than just streaming straight to the device. Picture and sound quality are great.

    I had the first version of Chromecast which requires Chrome browser so this one is a great upgrade. It is a lot faster, doesn’t require Chrome browser and works smoothly.

    So far so good with using my Google- Chromcast Ultra 4k player. The set up was very easy and we have an older TV and it works casting from my Iphone and Ipad.
