This is the most amazing product from Google l've owned
yet. I purchased this initially to upgrade my older
Chromecast. Everything about this "Google TV" is 1000x
better than what I owned previously. I can now view my
content in 4K which the older model could not do, and it
has a great interface. It's Android 10 over the Google TV
UI, and it's pretty appealing. I can easily ask Google to find
something particular to watch and it'll do it. This thing wil
search movies across different apps to find exactly what
you're looking for. What makes it even better is that it still
has it's cast function. so you have the option to use the
Google TV remote or cast from your Android phone like
normal. I was hesitant at first, and I wish 1 had mad this
purchase sooner. You can even control all your google
connected with the remote included. For example I use
my Google Home to control my AC, but I can also with my
remote in hand tell the Google remote to turn the AC on
or off, and it does it. Even quick than my home can which
is pretty neat. If you were ever indecisive about buying
this device then I hope this review helps you. You're
gonna love this Google TV.

without the Chromecast with Google TV I'd be playing solitaire it's super easy to set up it turns any old TV with an HDMI port into a Smart TV only better link it with your Google account then access your assistant on the remote open any app or settings search for movie shows get the current weather ask questions play games she tells jokes sings I probably have a little too much fun with my assistant however the remote is small and slippery I put a small sticky piece of hard foam on the back of the remote so I have something to hold on to I cut the cable long ago it's a must if you're on a budget for what 30 bucks definitely recommend thanks

I think we have now purchased 3 of these devices for the house. This last one we use for our outdoor projection setup in the backyard.
Fun fact, if the remote falls into a hot tub, Take the batteries out and put it in a container of rice. 2 days, the remote works again. Super happy for this.
Of course, I would recommend trying to avoid dropping it in a hot tub but accidents happen. :)

This is def an improvement on the Chromecasts I've had before. It's much more like a HUB for all your streaming services and let's you know what's available across them all without having to dig into each one.
What I was most impressed with is how fast & responsive it was, esp. with our Internet, it's not the fastest but still was quick to navigate.
Def recommend if you have a TV with no built in apps or prefer to have them through a console/ device.
My only gripe was the remote, it's a great light design, but a bit too small for my hands. Kept losing it too, so I recommend having a set place for your remotes that's easy to find & remember.

Google offers the best streaming device

I’ve used plenty of steaming devices but google seems to surpass everything. It has a very clean interface and its connectivity is immaculate. The only con is that if you’re wanting something easy to open developer privileges to, this isn’t the device to do that with. Chromecast is a straight forward WYSIWYG, open it up set it up and you’re good. If you have other google products this pairs with them perfectly.

Love the Google interface. I use this with other smart tvs because it's just easier to cast and/or not have to sign in again.

Pretty good. This is the cheapest way to start streaming. Some limitations compared to both the Amazon Fire Stick and a Roku. Good for casting. Very simple remote with volume buttons on the side.

If you have a slow TV buying the google dongle will completely take that burden away and it’s cheap.
I literally got one for my sister myself in my room and the living room. But the best part is not only does it make your WiFi look expensive but it has google play store if you know you know.

Went shopping for the Amazon fire stick replacement and they liked the remote. I encouraged them to try it because I already have android tv and it's simple enough.
Setting it up was a bigger challenge than the Chromecast :-( but other than that, it did a good job of integration into the TV for volume and input.

I used the original basic Chromecast and loved it for sharing photos on the TV. But this is so beyond... All your streaming services in one place! And voice search, Chromecast and more. We have 6 in our house!! Plus I can pair with headphones to not disturb others! Very responsive remote and sound control!

Got this as a Christmas present, to myself from my wife, had to wait until Christmas though to open and install it. I had an original Chromecast and was having some issues with it plus I had an older 48" TV that I wanted to add Google TV to for all the streaming apps. Easy install, it did have all the streaming apps that I wanted, so it was a good purchase, plus it was on sale before Christmas.

You won't be disappointed, this Google Stick is great! Really easy and fast to install.
You can do more with your TV, and control it with your voice.
