Customer Ratings & Reviews

Fantastic product, super easy to setup after a slightly long power up time where it does all its software updates, after that if you have a Google account everything is quick. Most apps are QR sign in now so that goes quick. The memory storage is huge, love the remote and ease of use . Very fast load times too

Great product to have works great nice interface great remote control have all the features that you need excellent quality I recommend it

A Google Product for Google Product(s). Very easy to set up. The picture is very sharp. Easy to learn the functions on the remote. Only wish would be a back-lit remote, and "re-chargeable remote battery."

To start off, I've been enjoying the new Google TV Streamer for around the past week. Setup was a little tedious and requires Google Home, but also straight forward if you're already part of the current Google ecosystem of smart home speakers and displays. Not much else to say about the initial setup. Everything about the streamer seems quite refined and well tested. PROS: This is 100% faster than the competitor product I was using prior. There are certain apps missing from the Google TV store that I would like to see, but I'm hoping that the company will eventually add them long term. This is my second experience with an official Google TV remote and I have to say that everything is laid out well. I had trouble with battery drain on a competitor product, but it's yet to be determined if that's a problem on this end. I really appreciate using the "find my remote" button on the back of the receiver as I would constantly misplace it with my older devices. Very convenient. CONS: They went with a lower cost chip. AC WIFI is 2 generations old at this point. Might be a limitation of the chosen SoC, but I would have liked to see a minimum of AX generation WIFI HW via 2x2 antenna for long term futureproofing. I'm sure this device will be refreshed in 2-3 years when newer HW revisions become cost centric. The Google TV streamer also doesn't include an HDMI cable. Might not be a con per say, but I would recommend using a cable capable of 4K60 via spec. A lot of older cables may not be capable of this and distort while pushing high bandwidth. SUBJECTIVE: While this is honestly the fastest streamer I've used, I can't help but mention that you can find a competitive "Google TV OS" product for around half the cost. I'm positive this one has strongest variation of hardware and storage, but there may be diminishing returns for some people. OTHER THOUGHTS: Would be nice if they started adopting TV tuners (2-4 count) and Coax input via 2nd device so that you could stream Antenna TV to all rooms with Google TV. I've been wanting something like that without the need to switch to the smart TV's UI.. (Mine is very slow)... but there's only 1-2 options on market and require jumping through hoops via Plex or 3rd party app. Just an idea if google does read this! CONCLUSION: I think it's very a solid product, but you're going to have to weigh the pros and cons for your needs. I personally wish it offered more for the money, but it's not bad either. It does what you expect, but lacks the value proposition in a saturated market.

I’m really happy with the Google TV streamer. It’s super easy to use, very versatile, and works great for streaming, apps, and casting. The interface is smooth and intuitive, and it’s noticeably faster than other models I’ve used. Thanks to its powerful processor, everything loads quickly with no lag. Overall, it’s a great streaming device and definitely worth it!

Made the switch from Amazon Firestick and NEVER going back!!! The interface is beautiful and easy to understand. I've had my google tv streamer for over 2 years now and I haven't had any problems. I've since bought 3 more and recommended at least 7 more to friends and family. The overall performance is quick with no slow downs after 12 mos unlike other streamer brands.

I previously owned a Chromecast 4K which I kept in my suitcase for travel. I forgot to pack it this trip and purchased this Google TV Streamer 4K to replace it. The increased RAM and storage make it work better than my old Chromecast. It has a slightly larger form factor. I need to find a new case for it. It didn't come with an HDMI cable, which would've been nice to know. I would've purchased one with it if the salesman had made me aware of it.

The setup: Very simple on screen instructions. Once you connect your email address, it’s pretty much your google account on tv. All your apps, photos (optional), library like your purchases, rentals etc is all available on screen. Google assistant is also usable. There were no issues with connecting to wifi, although I have mine wired now. The remote is universal. It found the code to my sound bar so now I can just use 1 remote! That was unique to do. The google tv is very clean and I like the simple tan vanilla-ish color. It was packaged nice. Once in, I noticed brighter colors and the sound was louder vs another streamer I have. The 4K movies pop a little more and it is very smooth, no flickering. The menu setup can seem confusing at first, but at the top u have your categories like live, apps, and library. The best option to use, for me, was the apps because it’s organized and it’s easy to find your specific app vs scrolling and scrolling. The experience is very simple and not overwhelming. Everything connects like it should. The best part is having google assistant. Enjoy!

The performance is outstanding. It handles 4K content with ease, and I’ve seen zero lag or buffering, even when streaming high-bitrate HDR movies. The interface is highly responsive and smooth—much faster than my old streaming stick. The included remote is comfortable to hold and the voice search function is very accurate.

We got rid of cable and got this to act as our new media hub for YouTube TV and streaming apps instead of using the built-in apps on Smart TV. Easy to setup, quick and snappy navigation, and easy integration into our smart home.

The Google TV Streamer 4K is fast, responsive, and very easy to set up. The interface is clean and intuitive, and I like how it aggregates recommendations across streaming services. Streaming performance has been smooth in 4K with no buffering issues. Apps load quickly, and switching between them feels snappy. The remote is simple but well designed, and voice search works accurately. If you're already using Google services, the integration is seamless. Casting from phone works instantly, and the smart home controls are a nice bonus. For the price, it delivers reliable performance and a premium feel. Highly recommended if you want a straightforward 4K streaming device without lag.

Love the fact that Google gave the TV streamer a built-in Ethernet port and extra storage over the Google TV 4K. The extra storage makes this a very capable little gaming box for the price. The remote is little bit bigger than the older model, has a better placed volume control button and the lost remote button is absolutely amazing. I don't love the fact that it's a larger footprint and double the price of the older model but the new features very much make up for that. I've never been too impressed with the default Google TV launcher but this supports Projectivy Launcher just fine and allows me to declutter my home screen as much as I want.

I've used the Roku, Fire Stick, and the built-in streaming features on Samsung and LG. Google is by far the best performing and most intuitive. Setup is simple. The remote is uncomplicated. Plays well with all TVs. Interesting note: I have a Sony TV with Google TV built in. I thought it was laggy and the picture quality was poor. I got the external Google Streamer and had a huge improvement.

Overall, the Google 4K streaming player is considered one of the top-tier devices available for high-definition streaming. Designed for users who favor Android-based ecosystems or prefer Google Home integration, this product offers a seamless and versatile experience. Priced at $100 less than the comparable Apple TV 4K, it delivers superior picture quality with support for HDR and Dolby Vision, a smooth 120 Hz refresh rate for fluid motion, full 4K resolution for crisp visuals, and an intuitive interface that enhances user interaction. Its powerful performance and feature set make it a compelling choice for both casual viewers and enthusiasts.

The Google TV Streamer 4K is fast, responsive, and easy to set up. Picture quality was excellent, apps loaded quickly, and the device felt polished overall. My biggest issue was the startup experience. Every time I turned it on, I was taken to a profile-selection screen instead of going directly to the home page and my apps. I understand the value of multiple profiles, but users should be able to choose whether they want the profile picker, the home screen, or the last-used app as their default landing page. Maybe I could have set the default page, but I gave up. The remote also looks sleek, but I found it less intuitive than other streaming remotes because many of the buttons blend together visually, especially at night in dimly lit rooms. This is a capable device, but the unnecessary startup step became frustrating enough that I returned it.

Extremely intuitive and easy to use. No hands free voice assistant, but the remote has it, and it has a find my remote function! Interface is fast and smooth with every streaming service you can imagine! The ethernet port is a huge plus as well! Setup is a breeze, especially since it's synced with your Google account!

Great product. Fast, smooth, apps load quickly and no connection issues. Picture is great too. Plenty of storage and RAM. I like that it has extra features like Google Home and some AI (could care less about AI). I have two of them. All in all, highly recommend!

My LG TV is pretty old, probably circa 2017-2018. So i'm not able to load certain streaming apps on it. The TV still works well and i didnt want to shell out hundreds of dollars for a new one, i bought the Google Streamer to upgrade my streaming preferences. I love it. Its super easy to setup, super easy to use, and it doesnt look terrible against the decor.

I was curious to this Google TV Streamer and how this fared against the already installed apps in my Television. I have a smart television that is already 5 years old, and it has been showing its age with dead pixels and frustratingly slow responses to the Menu button. So I wanted to see how this Google TV Streamer was, how fast and the image quality it provided. Opening the box, you see the typical minimalist Google aesthetic of a plain and off-white (porcelain) oval device. It only came with the remote control and USB-C power cord. I mistakenly took the cord as what I needed to install to the television and I noticed nothing was happening. To my embarassment, this was supposed to connect to either a power brick or USB-C power source while I provide a HDMI cable for the actual connection. Once I figured that out, I was met with the Google installation which took only minutes once I logged into my Google account. The interface is really fast and responsive. I was able to navigate to all the apps that I normally use on my television and they easily logged me in either QR codes or logging into the saved email and password combination. The whole watching experience has been an utter joy with this. The image quality is truly amazing and clear, even compared to what I was using the apps on the television. The remote navigation, home and power buttons are equally responsive. Each app that I use to watch is very clear and you are just left stunned with the 4k quality. The only draw back that I encountered is that the volume controls do not work on this so I am still using either the sound bar remote or the television one. Overall, I am. very pleased with the Google TV Streamer. I love how easy it is to use and the video quality.

I've owned every Chromecast that Google has released and this is by far their best iteration of the Chromecast line. It's more of a set top box now but still very slim, very portable, and can connect via Ethernet if needed for higher connection speeds. The biggest difference I experienced while using this new Chromecast was the speed of the software. There weren't any delays in input and I could go into the apps I downloaded quickly and start streaming right away. One cool feature of this new Chromecast is the ability to add shortcuts to the remote. I was able to add the shortcut to show me my Google Home devices such as my 3 Google cameras, my front door deadbolt lock, lighting, temperature controls, etc. I'm able to control all of that through the Chromecast which is pretty awesome. The only thing you can't do right now is talk back to someone through the doorbell camera or watch history of the cameras. If you didn't want to program that shortcut for Google Home controls you could also have it go to a favorite app that's not already listed on the controller itself or have it be a certain input on your TV in case you have another HDMI device connected to your TV. I also found it awesome that you can ask Google to locate your TV remote and it'll beep until you've found it. There's been numerous occasions where Chromecast remotes go missing for several days and I'm forced to use my phone as a controller but those days are now behind us. Overall, the clarity of the content, the smoothness of the software, and the added features of the controller make this the best Chromecast to be released.
