Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this to use in hotels and have access to all our account and it does just that. 10/10

Only thing is sometimes the resolution gets messed up after switching tvs.

Highly recommend i would use youtube tv and purchase a membership

The device extremely well for 4.5 months. I turned it on yesterday and it continue to reboot itself. Received an error message indicating a corrupt file was found. Not sure it was corrupted as only Google update have been installed. Weird. Thanks Google for the corrupt update!!

I love it! It works way better than i expected, all of my streaming services work flawlessly!

I get a lot of channels. It's better than cable!!!

Love the ability to cast but hate the ads in the front page. Unfortunately all the streaming things have it now

Its a great device and a good update from Google TV with Chromecast but for the price the hardware should have even more beef in it.

I upgraded from the 4k Chromecast with GoogleTV to this. The fact that it has a Ethernet port was the main reason for doing so.

Sometimes it blanc out for a brief minutes. Otherwise its useable

Nearly every TV is a smart TV today, but streaming devices become a necessity due to the lack of power of internal processors of the TVs. That is where Google has upped its game with their most recent 4K streamer in that it checks nearly all the boxes you could ask for. Coming from a Google Chromecast I will say I love the new form factor, especially with the remote. The streamer blends in nicely with nearly any media console though if you prefer to mount it to the back of your TV that is an option as well for it is just slim enough to fit. With the new form factor comes the ability to directly plug in an ethernet cable to ensure the fastest speeds possible which was a major plus for me. The other great feature they have added is that there is now a button on the back of the streamer you can hit that will ring the remote so that if you do have toddlers that like to run off with the remote it makes it so much easier to find! Another new facet here is the remote and the improved usability. The buttons are fairly similar, but the new layout makes things so much more convenient because the first thing I noticed are the dedicated volume buttons on the face of the remote as having them on the side with the previous remote was annoying at times. Additionally, the removal of the input button in favor of a shortcut button where this allows for three options is great. The first option of the shortcut button is to simply keep it as an input button. The next option is to have it open up a specific app. Then the last option is you can utilize it to open up the Google Home Panel so that you can quickly access your Google home devices. Aside from those two major things the remote is fairly unchanged as in my opinion there is nothing I would change so far after a weeks worth of use. Onto the actual performance of the device though. There is a slight bump in processing power here from the Chromecast (22% supposedly per Google) where the main difference I noticed wasn`t necessarily in the speed of accessing various apps, but was more so the fact that the device never lagged where sometimes the Chromecast would just sit there and spin for an extended period of time. Thus, the performance here is perfect as everything works very fluid and you`re not ever waiting on anything to really load. The device not only supports 4K HDR content, but it also supports Dolby Vision and Atmos so it literally checks all the viewing options for optimal viewing. The Google interface is the major sell here though with this device as the Google interface is by far superior to its competitors in my opinion. The streamlined nature of the interface and simplicity are key facets to that. The personalized recommendations using Google`s learning abilities and the ability to retain where I left off on shows right there on the home screen are both standout features that need mentioning. The ability of the google assistant to search for movies based on a general topic is always great as I`ve found so many good movies and shows simply by searching for a word or phrase of interest. A couple of features I have to mention that come with this being a Google device are first the ability to quickly stream audio to Nest speakers and pixel buds where as someone entrenched in the Google ecosystem this has been a great feature. With this also comes the ability to cast content from your phone, tablet, or laptop to the TV with ease. Then lastly is the ability to control my Google home devices within the streamer without having to find my phone so when someone is at the door or if I need to check on my kids in their rooms I can easily access those cameras. Along with accessing the cameras I also find myself controlling the lights and thermostat quite frequently with the streamer as well so it is definitely something I didn`t think I would use as much, but it has for sure added to that convenience factor. Overall, there is nothing Google left out with this streamer. From the improved aesthetics to the enhanced processor and greater usability of the remote, Google has taken the Chromecast and improved it in every facet. Pairing all this with the Google interface creates the absolutely perfect streamer and thus I would highly recommend this streamer, especially if you are already within the Google ecosystem in any capacity.

Great streaming box! Fast response and great picture quality!

I believe it's the best choice if you're looking for a raw android tv it's better than any built-in google tv

Great device that loads content faster and better quality than original LG B9 TV software.

If you like the chrome cast with google tv, you’ll love this. Definitely a step above the chrome cast.

Just as good as previous Chromecast generation, though the remote feels cheaper as it's more plastic like.

The Streamer is only slightly faster than the Google Chromecast 4K that it replaced. The Streamer starts to blackout the screen for about 30 seconds and back on for a short period, then it blackouts again. After restarting the Streamer it will be fine for 3 or 4 days. I have tried adjusting the display settings hasn't worked.

Excellent streamer! User and eye-friendly. It's viewing list of suggestions is on the mark!

Excellent device! More of a formal entry into streaming devices than the chromecast line

I bought this hoping to get an easy feed from my nest cameras to this and I must say that I am very disappointed. I did not feel like it had much value for its price point plus I feel like there are far better options for half the price
