I'm In Love With My Chromecast!
Today I had an opportunity to set up my Chromecast. Initially I was a bit intimidated because I thought it would be difficult to set up or take a long time. This couldn't be further than the truth. It took me about 20 minutes to set everything up and it probably would have taken less time, if my internet was faster. Once I set everything up, I was able to play movies and tv shows instantly.
This Chromecast came right on time. I have a tv that I lost the remote to so I couldn't watch anything but regular tv. I didn't bother to set it up with any other streaming system so it's just been sitting up for months, not being watched, what a waste.
Now with the Chromecast I will watch my tv all of the time instead of using my cellphone. All of the channels are clear and it only take a few seconds to switch from one show to another. I can easily get to YouTube or Netflix via the remote, by a simple press of the button. The remote is also voice controlled so I can easily control what I want to watch or listen to from my space.
Overall, would I recommend this product to others? YES! I plan to use my Chromecast for many years to come. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Extremely disappointed
A few days after I bought it, and everything worked, an update was installed, and the remote stopped working. I had to restore the older version of the firmware, to make it work again.
since then, every few weeks 8t installs that firmware, and the remote stops working.
I read that many other people experience the same problem, so it's not accidental, neither is it happening only to me.
I can't believe google could drop such a poorly written software on the market, and not fix it for many months
I bought a Roku Express, and never had such a problem.

1.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser02/20/2023Nothing but trash, save your money not worth itI ordered a NEW chromecast and received a used non working one. plugged it into the tv and all that is shown is a green arrow and does not do anything. This is trash. The box came with a fake seal and with one of the batteries already in the remote showing it was used. The cords unorganized just tossed in. I still tried to make it work and plug it into the tv to get nothing but a dumb green arrow that has been stuck for over 30mins. I unplugged and re-plugged it and still nothing.Cynthia

2.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser07/29/2022Trouble with many AppsThis unit has many problems to link different Apps and to load 3rd party Apps. I think my Roku is better with ease to use. I would not recommend this Chromecast W/ TV.Lawrence

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser07/23/2022Made my very own smart TV, Love it!Love this device. Very easy to install, just plug it in. Found that new batteries made the remote work better than the ones that came with it. Also, plugging the power into the TV USB made it not turn on all the time. Changing it to plugging into the wall outlet made it work first time, every time. It allowed me to uninstall the apps I don't want, and install all the apps I do want very easily. Making my 15 year old TV into a smart TV! Also connects to my computer with ease, just click on "cast" on my Chrome search screen (Listed under Google Account at right upper corner of screen). Later bought an Android TV with Chromecast built-in. So I don't need the external plug-in device anymore, but I use it anyway. Since this device remote is easier to navigate than the one that came with the TV. I have the Android TV connected to Ethernet, and this Google Chromecast connected to WIFI so I can use either one. Both seem to work just as good.Sandy

1.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser07/16/2022Not worth any money!I bought 3 Roku devices. Two no longer work at all! I gave one away but I doubt it worked either! It lasted just long enough to tempt me to pay $29.95 for lifetime use of their remote app! I'm going back to Fire tv'Carol

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser02/15/2022Great product. Great price. So-so Peacock promo.I'm quite happy with this product. "Smart" TVs just aren't. They're underpowered and poorly supported. The "smart" bits start out mediocre and become slow and useless in a few months, while the display part is still going strong for years -- so just plug in a Chromecast with Google TV, and never touch your TV remote's "menu" button again. The Chromecast is well supported, and you can either "cast" content to it from your phone, tell Google Assistant to display on it, or use the Chromecast remote to navigate. One thing to note: At the moment (mid-Feb 2022), this product is $10 off, and comes with 6 months of "Peacock Premium". Just keep in mind that Peacock Premium is still laden with advertising...RussInMiraMesa

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser01/31/2022I would highly recommend this product.I love my Chromecast TV Google. It turned my TV in a Smart TV. I can stream many streaming applications, Peacock, Paramount, etc, that I was not able to when I had my Bluray Player because it did not have the right apps. Very easy to operate the remote.Lynn

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser01/06/2022I will buy another one for my mother.I love shopping at Walmart; It arrived on time, and the product was intact and functional when I opened the box, brand new from the factory. I loved the Chromecast with Google TV; it gives a new life to your conventional TV. It would have been great if it came with 32GB of internal memory. 8GB was left behind in 2010.Carlos

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser12/10/2021Tizen TV is better but this device is still greatThe product arrived quickly and without any problems. This new Chromecast is high quality and overally nice and helpful device. It is perfect for older TVs without smart functions. I want to point out that, for example, my 2021 Samsung TV turned out to be stronger. Almost everything about him is almost better than this Samsung TV through Chromecast with Google TV. My TV with its own system, chipset, and CPU processing high-definition video better and at a higher level than Chromecast. I clearly saw that Samsung Tizen TV is better than Google TV performed by Chromecast with Google TV. But this device is still great. I connected it on a little old LCD TV and that TV came to life, just got a second wind.Kakhaber

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser09/21/2021The best streaming device so far.......This device is very fast, the picture 4K/HDR is very clear, there's so many apps that i cannot download on my Firestick, Youtube and Netflix are built in and its has its own button on the remote too, very user friendly although you cannot customized or move your apps, you need to uninstall and install it, its connected to wall socket and it turns off on its own without any activity for a certain period of time, voice activated too. This can turn a regular 4k tv a lot better than the smart tv.Joseph
