Seamlessly integrates with YouTube TV, and any other app you want. Intuitive. Streams all your Google Photos. Easily cast anything you want. Perfect product. My highest recommendation.

Coming from Chromecast dongle I am in love! SUPER FAST and improves on many things of the previous. Love that it has a built in remote tracker! If I lose the remote it will ring so I can find it! Remote is bigger and better as well. Worth every penny!

The Google TV that I grew to use and love just got better. Performance is noticeably better than the previous gen, and the "find my remote" feature is an absolute must when you have children at home (you won't lose it 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 would recommend this to a friend

If you are upgrading from the Chromecast with google TV 4K, its not worth paying double the price, Agree its faster but not higjly noticeable though double RAM and Ethernet present. Picture amd audio quality is same as previous midel. I have 200 inch screen in a dedicated home theater and didn’t see any difference. Expected a lot with double the price. If looking for a chromecast, better go with older model itself. May be you can go with this if looking to use other options of using othrr than streaming. If its just for streaming, not worth $99

Its a google product so you never know what to expect. The item is packaged very well. The item was not easy to setup since it connected to my internet easily via the google home app but then my phone couldn't see it after that I need to proceed with manual setup. Device updated and thought everything was working but it is not turning the TV off and on. Once device is setup, I am not able to find where to setup the TV so it will turn the TV off and on when turning the device on. I might need to just reset the device and start over. I am liking that you can have dual profiles on one device though since that was missing on the last google device. Super easy to use and everything is very snappy and fast. I would recommend this device besides the painful setup process.
Hi there, we understand that the setup process can sometimes be challenging. We're happy to hear that you're enjoying the dual profile feature and the overall speed and performance of the device.

So far I have liked the speed and ease of use, I upgraded from the chromecast. It was pretty easy to setup and it loaded some of my apps from the chromecast. Only downside is you have still have wires that show, but I was able to work around that.

The Google streamer is a great device entering the TV box entertainment circle. Coming with the latest version of Google Tv, it's responsive and easy to use. It is a little expensive compared to competitors, by it a great option!

It was the better option for my teen, and lockout from our very curious younger child. As for my teen, since we were already using Family Link for his phone and tablet, this just makes more sense. However, nobody (i.e. Apple or Amazon) can seem to get parental controls right! Still lacking in this department. I have not used it much, but performance seem better than even the latest Firestick. The porcelain color remote tells the truth of what black remotes tend to hide! Yuck. Think back to when computer keyboards and mice were light in color!

Way more responsive compared to the OS on the smart TVs. I also like how it combines all movies or TV shows from multiple apps like Netflix or Peacock into one page too see what is available easier. 4K quality is superior as well.

I have been into the streaming game for a long time as far back as the original Google Chromecast, this device is by far the best Google TV streaming device I have used. Its got plenty of storage, so using multiple apps doesn't fill up the cache and use up all the storage. Its very quick and responsive. One thing I was pleasantly surprise by is the remote finder feature, I have a small child and they are always taking the remote out of the room. So the remote finder feature is super helpful. I do recommend this item.

I have both the old Chromecast with Google TV 4K (CCwGTV) and now the new Google TV Streamer 4K connected to the same TV and AVR so I can A/B compare both.
Watching a YouTube TV football game that was broadcast in 5.1 surround sounds SO MUCH BETTER on my old CCwGTV because it does digital audio passthrough, which allows my Denon AVR to process the surround sound. However, Google TV Streamer processes the surround signal itself and passes a 5.1 PCM signal to my AVR.
So, it’s no surprise that a $2K AVR processes surround sound WAY better than a $100 streamer, but it’s very frustrating that there is NO option for the Google TV Streamer to support audio passthrough!
This will be a DOWNGRADE for anyone coming from a CCwGTV connected to an AVR for surround sound.
Until Google fixes this, I’m sticking with my better sounding CCwGTV.
Hi SeanM. Thanks for taking a moment to review the Google TV Streamer (4k). We're sorry the audio experience missed the mark for you, but we really appreciate the feedback on why didn't meet your expectations. We hope you'll give Google TV another chance down the road.
