Have used a Chromecast for many years and liked it just fine. But now that I've used this new Google TV Streamer, I can tell you I'm now spoiled by it. The speed of loading and switching between different applications and features is hard to beat. App load times, switching between apps, and pretty much everything else is enhanced. Same look and feel, menus, and most everything else.
The remote is nice. They moved the volume buttons to the face of the remote and made it longer. No problem with it...I think I preferred the buttons on the side through.
An important requirement for me was the ability to use the Chromecast remotes with this unit. That works just fine. You can pair your older Chromecast remotes with this easily. I like having two remotes...one for me and one for the wifey...saves some headaches and that eventual question "Where's the remote?!?"
OH - the new remote has a "find me" feature so you can hit a button on the streamer and the remote becomes a screamer.

The best thing that I brought. Ive had the previous chromecast for over 8 years and it finally broke. I went to best buy and got this in the same day. This version of chromecast has lightning speed and easy to use. Has everything you can think of. This is a Must buy in my book.

I needed GOOGLE home on my ROKU TV so I could stream my GOOGLE NEST doorbell camera to my TV. It worked just fine. Of course it also added the GOOGE streaming platform, but I didn't really need that since I already had ROKU built into my TV.

Extremely intuitive and easy to use. No hands free voice assistant, but the remote has it, and it has a find my remote function! Interface is fast and smooth with every streaming service you can imagine! The ethernet port is a huge plus as well! Setup is a breeze, especially since it's synced with your Google account!

This thing is awesome. I bought this to connect to my 7yr old Roku TV and i love how fast it is and the picture is so clear is like having a brand new TV.

Overall this is a really good streamer if you don't want an Apple TV. Need to make sure that you have an HDMI cable that's correct because sometimes the audio will be not in sync and you'll have to restart your device.
It's pretty fast and easy to use and the find my remote feature is really useful especially if you have kids.
Overall I would recommend it

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 would recommend this to a friend

The Google TV Streamer (4K) is awesome! Super easy to set up, and it looks good, too—the white color doesn’t stand out too much, so it blends in. The picture quality is really sharp, and using Google Assistant to find stuff saves so much time. The remote was a bit weird at first, but now it feels natural. I love how everything’s organized on the screen; all my shows, apps, and recommendations are easy to find. If you’re looking for a simple, good-quality streaming upgrade, this one’s worth it!

Works great! Connected to my TV and Bluetooth to my sound bar and it works flawlessly. I had surgery a could days ago so I can't do anything but sit in bed and watch shows and this thing has been a blessing to do so. It also controls Google home devices and is very convenient therein. Definitely worth the cash

Sadly, discontinued.
Remote feature button finder is very nice remote. However, it's a very fragile treat with care.
DIPLAYS IN 4K ONLY AT 60FPS 60 HZ.
Very nice to be able to cast from bone directly to projector.

I got the streamer for testing to see weather the Android TV 14 is different than Android TV 12 on my Hisense TV, and to check the performance, and I can confirm that everything runs smooth and it has the clock in the upper right corner which is missing on my TV. I returned it because I have the Google Chromecast HD streaming device and my TV has built in Google TV so I don't need it right now. But I'm happy of how it works and at $75 on sale it's worth it and I can recommend it. The only downside is that the storage is only 32gb and it only supports WiFi 5 standard it should have had at least WiFi,6 if not WiFi 6E or WiFi 7.

This was a welcome upgrade for the Chromecast lineup. I had the previous Google TV with Chromecast 4K that came out a couple years ago and while that's still worked and did everything that I needed to do, this device does that but perfects it to a tee. Few if you were looking for a streaming device it doesn't break the bank this one is perfect for you from the redesigned remote to the new features offered this is a great device

Solid upgrade to Chromecast, and a wonderful new Google TV streaming device. Google TV is starting to get a little loaded with lots of ads and promoted content, but it's still an A+ streaming setup, and I prefer it over others, and it plays well with Pixel devices. Be warned, no HDMI cable in the box. New remote is nice and easier to use, and harder to lose. Solid Google design and quality.
