works as intended! i needed a streamer for my tv since chromecast no longer works as intended (google says it does, but it doesn't - planned obsolescence and what have you). all my apps slowed down, would buffer and freeze, or crash all together. ALL my subscribed streaming services became unwatchable. so i bought the new google streaming solution - this tv streamer which is way more expensive than the chromecast - and wouldn't you know it, now all my streaming apps work again.

Decent midrange performance, SOC is still underpowered comparing to the apple and Nvidia streaming boxes. Wish google released a product to compete with these devices directly at the high end of hardware. New googletv features and the remote finder are a welcome addition. Onboard ethernet is gigabit, which is great. My wife likes the color, lets be honest that's the only metric that matters.

I haven't notice much of a difference from the cheaper Google Chromecast. I really don't think it's worth the extra money but i have it and it is great. Just as great as the Chromecast with remote. I guess, why fix something if it's not broken, right?

Absolutely ideal for accessing/controlling my Google Smart Home devices without interrupting whatever I'm watching or having to pick up my phone. UHD 4k and Dolby Atmos both stream flawlessly [no buffering] utilizing the much-needed hardwire Ethernet port for these formats.

Personally feel like it's better than the normal rokus , just keep the box at a good hight so the remote can get full signal

Seamless and intuitive, setup takes a bit when first connected but starts up quickly afterwards

Love the google tv OS. Had it on my Sony and bought the Google streamer for my Samsung mainly use it for my IPTV app that really doesn't work well with Samsung TV OS all in all it's a great device for the price in my humble opinion much better than Apple TV.

I love this. Super easy interface and no crazy lag like similar devices. Just turn it on and after you set it up it's a breeze

I have a 2019 LG B9 oled and the online apps were not as snappy as they used to be but the picture is still gorgeous, this has made watching tv easy again and should keep me from upgrading it for another 7 years

Always best buy name to Best and best wishes for good devices

Great way to make my old tv perform as well as the new tv.

I’m mostly purchased this device in an effort to have a Google Home device that has hub capabilities and was matter and thread capable. I’ve been fortunate to have a few devices that work well with it and I’ve been able to create some routines that I wasn’t able to before. I will say that most of the regular features in terms of Google Home streaming hasn’t proven any different than the interface that I am familiar with on my television. I have several Google Home televisions in my house. It would’ve been nice to have some differentiation or some stand out feature That makes it worth getting over an Apple TV. To me from the brief time that I’ve had it it probably would’ve served me better to stick with my Apple TV.

This is so much better than the original Chromecast I can’t even explain it

Much better than the original chrome cast but a little pricey for what it does. On sale it’s a must buy. The interface is smooth and it’s easy to find shows.

LOOKS GREAT AND PERFORMES EVEN BETTER. I'VE USED EVERY VERSION AND THIS ONE IS THE BEST.

Works well, plugs into our television and has a nice remote control too!

Very snappy and responsive. Definitely an upgrade over the Amazon Tv stick.

Awesome TV streaming box. Love the live tv options and love the find remote feature.

Everything works smoothly. Easy to setup. Very convenient to work with.

Overall a very similar experience to the cheaper google TV. However the larger remote and the ability to ping the remote when lost are a life saver with toddlers in the house
