Oh my do I like this. I upgraded from the previous Chromecast to this newer model. It's great. In addition to the being able to stream everything, it has a built in DVR or something magical, that I just love. I can now rewind my news and weather, or whatever it might be that I just missed or did I hear that right? Very happy that I invested in this.

This is definitely better than the previous generation. The picture quality and no buffering compared to the previous generation. This has more apps to choose.

An excellent upgrade from the “old” google tv dongle we had been using for sometime. I’m not sure on the exact specs of the machine but it works flawlessly and smoothly. No hiccups, no lag, and you can even connect an external SSD to watch your own media with compatible apps like VLC. There is many customization options with this box and I recommend it over other media streamers out there.

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

My Sony Bravia has Google TV built in but I was dealing with constant issues of storage. I had to delete several apps that I had always had on there. Very frustrating so I decided to buy the Streamer and it has worked great. No storage issues.

I travel for work, and some hotels don't have the streaming services I want, so I bought this, and it works great.

Bang for the dollar this streaming box is great. It is better than the others i tried. Speeds are great. There's no glitching and very rarely does it drop in quality but then pick right back up. When the other streaming sticks and boxes I have start going out I'll replace them with this.

It’s great for streaming, it’s fast and has enough memory. I can also have multiple user profiles so we can save our selections. The voice command recognition is really good… in general it’s easy to use, definitely user-friendly for not technological savvy people. I definitely recommend this TV swimming device.

Took less than 5 minutes to install and it works perfectly. No more satellite for TV. This is my second one and the other one is still going strong. I am a technical dunce so I like the simplicity of this device. I highly recommend it.

It’s a good Chromecast box, however, I bought it so that I could get faster speeds using Ethernet not realizing that the WiFi works better. The Ethernet port only allows 100mbps so I don’t use it as WiFi has a faster connection. Overall.. there little advantage over the smaller cheaper device. I’d say if it’s on sale then get it if you are in the market.

This is easier to use than the earlier model and though I was hesitant to order it, I am so glad I did. I do keep a larger dryer sheet with pet hair repellant atop the base unit to protect from dust and dander, and it does not interfere with performance. I do not have a smart TV and with this device I am able to stream whatever app I choose including local or national news, movies, etc.

Excelent TV streamer, easy to use, easy ti install

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.

I would like to be able to transfer from chromecast to this. Instead had to install the apps and sign into all the apps. That took more time than connecting it. Lol. The overall google tv app needs the ability to remove shows from the home screen and not just hide them. Delete history would be nice. Overall, i do see improvements from the chromecast to this. One last thing, the remote still needs to be designed thats not round. Slightly bigger is nice and a flatter bottom does help.

Does good for me has more storage than Chromecast with Google tv and faster and think it does better than rokus and apple tv

The Google TV Streamer (4K) itself works fine, much like a Roku or Firestick. It’s a bit wider than I’d prefer, but the built-in Ethernet is a nice feature. However, the remote is a major letdown. From the layout to the design of the directional pad, it falls short. Be prepared to miss the OK/Enter button frequently. The directional pad is placed at the top of the remote, which feels awkward, especially since most other manufacturers (and even older versions of Android TV) position it below a row of keys for easier, more comfortable access. Now, you have to hold the remote in an off-center way to use it. Then there’s the tiny OK/Enter button—it’s simply too small for an average-sized thumb to press reliably. Maybe a child’s finger or using an index finger would work better? It’s frustrating enough that I’m considering returning the device. Ultimately, I found the experience unpleasant and ended up switching back to my Firestick because of the remote.

This thing works great! The google tv is perfectly integrated. I dont beleive it worked this way in the smaller device. Im going to have to get another for the other TVs. The only issue was that the power dongle didnt work. But i have a ton at this point that it was an easy peasy swap with a random i have for my other android phones. Due to that, I have to ding one star.

Adding Ethernet + an upgraded remote + more onboard memory + a find my remote button makes this a worthwhile upgrade over the Chromecast 4k

Pretty decent streaming box. I appreciate the ability to have express VPN on it, kinda buggy software but hey that's Google. If you're in the ecosystem this is a good buy/upgrade for a Chromecast 4k

Amazing better than the last one. It’s way smoother than the last one and remote finder feature is life changing.
