I got rid of my Amazon Fire Stick (No offense Amazon, but that Firestick was doing too much, lagging, etc... and had to go!) and switched to this Google Streamer 4k instead!!! (...As I'm sure a lot of people are doing now!) This literally arrived overnight! I ordered it at like 6 pm, and then literally had this in my hands the next day at 11 am! Love the super fast shipping! I love my new Google Streamer! It was super easy to set up, and customize! I love how I was able to customize it exactly to my liking! Quick and easy! It connects to the internet easy with no problems! (ONE SUPER IMPORTANT NOTE FOR GOOGLE: The screen that keeps popping up about Gemini and then wont let me search for apps or do anything else, is really annoying! There is no way to get rid of it because it keeps popping up no matter what button you push or what you agree too! I did find a way around it for now, so I didnt take off a star! I do recommend Google listens to all the complaints about this issue, and fixes this glitch as soon as possible though!!! I can see a lot of people giving up and just returning this because of that!!!) It comes with a cute little remote that is so smooth and fits in my hand comfortably! Plus, it has a way to locate the remote if you loose it! I definitely appreciate that feature! Also, the remote was so easy to set up too! It can turn on/off my TV, and control the volume, so now I use it as my main remote! You can tell the Google Streamer unit itself is durable and high quality. It doesnt need batteries! It just needs a HDMI cord, and a place to plug it into the wall! Im getting way better picture, and sound, with this new Google streamer too! It may be in part because I got a super nice HDMI Cord, but this device is just so much better overall! This Google streamer is so much faster and smoother than my Firestick was! My firestick was always lagging and acting up, but this streamer is so much better! I don't have to worry about a frozen screen or lagging device/or stream! Overall, I am very happy that I made the switch! It's quick and easy to set up everything, it has clear picture and better sound, it doesn't lag or get frozen, and there are many great things about this that im loving! If anything changes after a while of using this, I will do my best to update about it here! Read more

Very easy to setup and has solid connectivity to the internet. Plenty of apps which you can even sideload and not have them get blocked. Remote batteries appear to last a long time. Lots of extra channels to watch using Freeplay. This is a great replacement for the Firestick with lots of storage space and quicker responses. Read more

Really great device. We are so happy that we purchased it. Our 2021 Samsung QLED has received a new lease of life. It can now accommodate more apps, including the ones you need, and will last longer. The picture quality also seems to be improved. The device doesn't noticeably heat up, and it works quickly and smoothly. Read more

fast and that alone makes it worth the upgrade from whatever outdated box you are currently using. I was running an old Roku that took forever to load apps and buffer content. This Google TV Streamer is a different experience entirely. Apps launch quickly, navigation is smooth, and 4K content streams without hiccups or constant buffering wheels. The interface is clean and actually makes sense. Everything is organized in a way that helps you find what you want to watch without digging through endless menus. The recommendations are decent and it pulls content from all your streaming services into one place. No more jumping between apps trying to remember where that show you wanted to watch actually lives.Picture quality is sharp and the 4K output looks great on my TV. HDR content pops the way it should and colors look accurate. If you have a nice TV, you want a streaming device that can actually take advantage of it. This one does. No point having a 4K television if your streaming box is bottlenecking the quality.The remote is simple and comfortable to hold. Voice search works well when you do not feel like typing out show names with the on screen keyboard. Just hold the button, say what you want, and it finds it. Faster than scrolling through letters one at a time.Google ecosystem integration is a plus if you use other Google services. It ties into your account and syncs nicely with everything else. Casting from your phone works seamlessly. If someone sends you a video link, you can throw it up on the TV in seconds without any complicated setup. Setup took maybe ten minutes. Plug it in, connect to wifi, sign into your accounts, and you are streaming. No technical knowledge required, no confusing configuration screens. It just works right out of the box which is exactly what you want from something like this. For anyone still using an older streaming device that feels sluggish and outdated, this is the upgrade. Fast, clean interface, great picture quality, and reliable performance. It does everything a streaming device should do and does it well. My TV finally feels like it is living up to its potential.
