Customers are saying

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.

    Have the generation 1 and it was running slow. This one is just easy to setup as the old one but much faster in speed.

    Good streaming video device that makes any TV on a smart tv. Just have the apps installed on your phone or tablet to run everything directly on your 4k TV.

    I had the original chromecast and had absolutely no problems with it. I only upgraded to this ultra due to upgrading my tv to 4k and wanted to take advantage of the technology.

    I like to use my phone like an interactive remote control. I can choose a Netflix show on my phone and it plays on my TV. Works with my 4k TV. I wish it allowed Amazon prime to

    Very good product, easy to set up and short settings required, the only negative I found is if you don't have an outlet available it doesn't work

    I purchased a non-smart 4K tv a year ago at a "give-away" price. Now I want a smart tv and this fit the bill just perfectly.

    I will never go back to paying $200 for cable!!! This is $35 a month and you get all the great channels. Plus my husband gets his sports channels, the kids get their Disney, Cartoon Network. I get AMC, NatGeo, local channels. We have had it for 4 mo. without an issue. You can watch tv on your phone, iPad, tablet or computer too! My husband told me I could get a new car if I cut some expenses somewhere else. When I told him I cut out cable bill down from $200 to $35 he drove me to the dealership.

    I use a Fire stick, but cannot, because of contract issues, use Fire to watch HBO Max. A necessary evil. Works fine. No complaints.
