Customer Ratings & Reviews

Seamless and intuitive, setup takes a bit when first connected but starts up quickly afterwards

The product is much better than previous dongle version in specs, In real use cases the differences are negligible. If buying as first Chromecast it is the 2nd best option to Nvidia shield. Not worth upgrading from the previous version.

Works great. It's so much easier with all streaming apps in one location

Pros: - 4 GB RAM - 32 GB storage - Snappy processor - Intuitive remote Cons: - No USB port (only USB-C port which is used for charging; you can work around it and get a splitter. - Remote does not have number pad

Ok let me break this down for you. One time homies this might be the greatest invention ever known to man given by God.

Works well, plugs into our television and has a nice remote control too!

Really good upgrade works really fast and the smart home features make it really worth it

Great way to make my old tv perform as well as the new tv.

I've been using my built in smart tv features for a few years and i just got tired of seeing ads for apps and tv shows i didn't subscribe to all over my home page. this new Google stremer only shows me what i want to see. 5 Stars

The new Google TV player is a fantastic upgrade from the older Chromecast. It's noticeably faster and more responsive, making navigation smooth and seamless. I really appreciate the enhanced Google Home integration. Mapping the new customizable button to quickly access my cameras is such a convenient feature. Overall, the device is user-friendly and offers a great blend of performance and functionality. Highly recommend!

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

Basically made my older Sony TV operate like our other new Sonys. No need to purchase another new TV to stream content; has built in Netflix and YouTube buttons. Interface is nearly the same. Easy connection to home network. I subsequently purchased a second unit for older cabin TV now that we have fiber.

Great product. Easy to use & i love the clean interface & access to all streaming platforms.

I bought this as a gift for my mother . Google OS easy enough for her to learn. Only complaint the price & the size of the unit.

I wanted to like it, I really did. I have a connected google household, and I thought this would fit right in. I did like that you can see all of your devices on the screen, that was pretty cool. The setup was pretty easy. However, I don't like the UI compared to the roku ultra. I like the app/tile setup better on the roku. The google streamer has all of the tiles listed horizontally. You have to keep scrolling right to get to the tile you want. It's alot easier to scroll down with the vertical and horizontal 4x4 tiles on roku. Oh, and there is the video quality which was a deal breaker for me. I turned on "Reacher" The show broadcasts in hdr10+. The show looks glorious on my 85 inch sammy. I started to notice every 5 or 6 seconds that the video would look like slow motion for a second or 2 and then it would be normal again. This happened again and again. I had it hooked up via ethernet so no problems with my internet speed. I next tried a movie, "Kraven the hunter". The same thing started happening again. That was enough for me. I am returning this. I know that the google streamer, and the roku ultra have different brand chips in them. Maybe this is the reason that the google product doesn't stream smoothly. All I know is I hooked up the roku again, and I have flawless smooth video again. Maybe there are still some kinks to work out with this streamer as it is only a few months old. Maybe I will give this a try again in a year or 2.

It seems faster than prior generations. So far very smooth going and i like the slightly longer remote

Does what it's supposed to do overall so no real issues there. Some apps work better than others but that's not really a fault of the device. Easy to set up as well.

TV has been real slow lately with all my streaming services and this really helped ease that process as well as giving off amazing video quality.

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.

Design is very minimalistic, and the remote has a simple design which makes it easy to understand for any user. For consumers who've never used Chromecast I'd say the setup instructions can be more clear. Overall the casting quality is really good, and compared to previous Chromecast models, it's a major improvement.
