Customer Ratings & Reviews

Google made some good improvements to the previous 4k unit. The 4k streamer is a little faster, the volume control is on the face of the unit and now comes with an Ethernet connection. It’s also easier to hold. I’m use to the previous unit because of the placement of the buttons, but over all I like the new improved unit. Unfortunately the price is double.

If you're comparing between a firetv, roku stick, or any of the other hdmi smart tv streaming sticks, look no further than this one. It works amazing, has integration with your google account so any owned movies or tv shows can be played right on the device. The remote works better than a roku remote and can adjust the volume and turn your tv on and off.

Bought this due to needing to replace a firestick. This was a great deal. Being able to link all of my content on the home screen and the ease of use is amazing. Not sure that I am on the new size difference compared to the discontinued ChromeCast. Buy its updated and a little faster then the chromecast.

We just purchased an 85" Samsung TV to use in our living room. We use a streaming service but it only works with Google TV so we had to purchase it. Honestly I was determined to buy the Google Chromecast 4K but I found that they have now launched this new product. I was watching some reviews on YouTube about this, there are good and bad comments but in general they say that the performance is better because it has more RAM and storage memory, that's why we decided to buy it. The product is not bad, it does its job, it is a little faster and more fluid than the Chromecast or the operating system of some TVs with Google TV, but I really don't know if it is worth it for the price. Sometimes we have felt that it is a little slow, honestly we are not very demanding with what we use it for our streaming services. It would be more attractive if the price were more reasonable. The setup process is honestly a bit tedious and too long, even when you set it up using your cell phone.

I really enjoy the find my remote feature. I haven't used the other connected features like finding my phone or smart home features yet. Had a few issues with freezing and restarting, but an update my have fixed that. Stronger connection with the ethernet port over the non pro version.

Out of all the Google cast devices I have had over the years this is the best one. I love how easily all the streaming apps integrate with the system. I had used the Apple TV device before buying the Google Streamer and it was a good device but it had a plain main menu that was just boring. Honestly if you have an android device like a Pixel phone then it's a much better option because it's easier to stream from your phone then it was on the Apple TV, unless you have an iPhone. Also my Pixel 9 phones have a built in remote that you can easily use with the Google Streamer that makes it convenient to us as well. The device can be a bit sluggish when navigating through the menu but it works well for my everyday use.

Love it. So easy to set up and use. Wifi or hard wired either way its fast. Love the remote finder button in the back.

It delivered on what was promised. My mom needed a device to let her YouTube on her old tv. She thoroughly enjoyed this product!

Good value for 4k option Love it can be powered by usb c Remote can pair to many receivers and soundbar Options.

It's the best Google TV that I've tested, it works excellently and I can have all the applications I want to obtain. I recommend it.

It's the fastest android box I have ever used. The extra storage bypasses the issue with Android TV's having extremely little storage space which leads to apps crashing.

It ended up being an overly expensive and much worse device than the ChromeCast Ultra. I can't watch Netflix on the Google streamer without signing into an account on the Streamer itself. When the older version, the ultra would cast Netflix without issue. Annoyances like that are constant in the streamer. It would also allow others to cast their profiles on it. With the Ultra, all I needed to was click cast, and it instantly did it with zero hassle. The setup of the streamer took way too long when all I simply wanted to do with it was watch TV. The streamer has way too many useless additions that take an hour to set up each and every one while also feeling pointless to ever use. It has been turned into a way to overly complicated device that feels pointless to use compared to the Ultra. If you want a nice simple device that works instantly go chrome cast. The Google streamer has been nothing but headaches for $100.

So much faster then the original 4K google Chromecast. With the extra RAM, the interface is much quicker and smoother. Highly recommended!

This streaming box was a no-brainer after switching from an iPhone to an Android phone. It pairs well with all of my Google services and streams all of my other movies and TV shows with great quality on my TV. Would highly recommend!

The Google TV streamer is a great system and probably the best TV streamer. I don't think $100 is exactly worth it, though. My item arrived in a damaged box, and the opening was completely ripped apart. The device itself isn't damaged and doesn't seem to have issues, but this is bad service from Best Buy. You shouldn't send damaged/open box items as "new purchase" so the streamer is 4/5 and service 2/5

The product is really good, works like the previous version but doesn't heat to much, like always google got it right.

Thank you very much for the delivery and time and it works great just like they said it has great has great memory space it works perfect

Absolutely love it ..I have Sony Bravia w/ Google so I had to have it

There are a lot of bugs with this especially that some apps needs to be force closed but that can only be done deep in the settings menu. Other than that it’s easy to use and quality is good.

The Google TV Streaming 4K is a solid addition to Google’s lineup, combining simplicity and performance in a well-designed package. Having used various streaming devices and smart TVs with different operating systems (my main TV runs on Google OS), I can confidently say that this is the best iteration I’ve used—especially at this price point. The Google TV Streaming box has a sleek and minimalist design that is both compact and unobtrusive. It’s lightweight and takes up very little space on an entertainment center. The remote fits comfortably in the palm of your hand—it’s large enough to avoid getting lost, yet not so big as to feel awkward or non-ergonomic. Its weight feels just right, and the layout is simple, featuring a D-pad, volume control, and dedicated buttons for Netflix, YouTube, and voice control. It runs on AAA batteries, but I believe a small improvement would be a built-in rechargeable battery that could be charged via a USB-C port to avoid managing disposable batteries. The simplicity of the design extends to the setup. As someone already deep into the Google ecosystem, I found the OS and interface intuitive. Adding apps from the Play Store is easy, and the voice commands via the microphone button on the remote make controlling smart devices or selecting streaming content feel effortless. One standout feature is the built-in ethernet port. While most Wi-Fi setups are capable of streaming 4K content without interruption, having the option for a wired connection adds an extra layer of stability, especially in households where the wireless signal might be less reliable. In terms of speed, the interface feels noticeably faster than my smart TV with Google OS built in. Navigating menus and switching between apps is smoother and more responsive through this streaming box compared to my TV’s native interface. This is particularly noticeable when performing quick A-B comparisons between the two. Another big plus is the ability to cast from a phone or laptop on the same network. This feature effectively transforms any TV into a smart TV, making it an excellent option for modernizing an older TV that doesn’t have built-in smart features. Overall, the Google TV Streaming 4K is a great streaming device that combines simplicity, speed, and strong integration with Google’s ecosystem, all in a small footprint. I’d recommend it to people of any technical ability who want to update their TV with the latest streaming technology.
