Customer Ratings & Reviews

Overall I like the product the only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is it’s missing a couple of features I would like for instance the ability to add an external hard drive

A great addition to an older TV or to replace an operating system you don't like. Google's UI is very intuitive and fast.

Good picture quality. A definite improvement over the Google TV Chromecast it replaced. It's surprisingly laggy. Which is asinine given that it has more memory & a faster processor than the older Google Chromecast TV. Consider an alternative if you have one available?

A lot of the apps don’t work. Not sure if that’s Google or the owner of the apps fault. Interface is definitely faster with more memory. Apple 4K is a more solid streamer, has less issues as of right now.

Better than pretty much any TV Streamer out there. Fast UI and great integration with google accounts. Plus since its android 3rd party apps can be installed. Fully recommend.

Set up and connectivity are easy. Without clear buttons, it does take time to learn the playback controls (pause, ff, rew. etc.).

Not a massive upgrade from the Google TV dongle, but enough to hopefully last us some years. The upgrade feels worth it for the optimism of longevity. I was also wanted to move on from a hanging plug-in device. Warning: does not include an HDMI cable to connect to the TV.

This little device right here it’s very good at $100. It has all the features you will get on a higher end streaming devices. Very customizable lots of features are very smooth Device.

It is good and comfortable. I like it very much. Thank you!

Great product with a great discount from best buy.

Don't remember this purchase. Incipient senility.!

Highly suggest no matter how old or new your tv is. Makes any tv a smart tv, and any smart tv better. Doesnt lose connection or need refreshing of passwords like the tv system itself, so it is extremely convenient.

Used mainly to share/present what I have in my google phone , works pretty well

Great device! Love the integration with Google Home and ability to see cameras on the TV. A bit slow and laggy at times and sometimes when watching some shows there is some flickering, hopefully it is fixed with a patch. Overall, really happy with the device

Remote is small and does not light up at night. Streaming works fine.

I'm sure this device works for other setups, but I had no such luck. Device streams good quality but does not sync dialogue with surround system setup through eARC and randomly turns off

It's great the only thing that really threw me off is it did not come with an HDMI cable

Ok I love this, but we ended up buying Roku sticks for additional TVs after buying this, and it does basically the exact same thing but for a fraction of the cost. Check that out first.

To the design team of this product: find another profession, preferably one where you work with fingerpaints or something. This is what happens when toxic positivity is allowed to run amuck in organizations. No one stopped and said, "Hey, this may not be ready to release yet." This is, without a doubt, the biggest joke of a product I've seen from Google, and I'm a Pixel user. If all you want is to watch Netflix, Prime, Disney, etc., there are cheaper options out there that work just as well/better. If you want to do something other than that, then you'd better light some candles, do a dance, and hit the liquor store because you're going to need it. Hope you like ads, because you're going to see a lot of them. Want it to work with Google Home? Well it sorta does, but not really. Think it will work out of the box? Think again. If you don't have someone IT savvy around, you will want to throw this thing through the window. If you're a Plex user, run fast, run far and then keep running--all the way to the grocery store, and purchase a potato because it will work just as well as this thing. I'm seriously considering not returning this item and burying it in my backyard just to spare at least one unfortunate soul from having to deal with this steaming pile of streamer.
