Why We Love Chromecast with Google TV (HD)

Google Chromecast is a streaming stick that turns any TV into a smart TV. With just a couple of minutes of setup, it instantly lets you access streaming apps like Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and tons more, and it’s so cheap that it has the potential to be a “Roku killer.”

When the new Google Chromecast was first released in September 2022, SPY’s Tech Editor John Velasco wrote:

“Google’s Chromecast streamers have proven to be one of those relatively inexpensive gadgets we couldn’t live without. You could argue it’s been one the best Google Assistant devices ever. Now, after nine years since the original’s release, we have the company’s latest, most inexpensive model to date…Part of the appeal about the Chromecast is that it’s simple and intuitive to use. Setting it all up takes no more than five minutes, and this new model is no exception. We also love that there’s a physical remote included with the purchase, which makes it even easier to set up.”

In the month since its release, this gadget has consistently been the #1 new release in Amazon’s Electronics category, and that was before the 33% discount.

In just over 30 days, this product has collected more than 4,600 reviews and an overall rating of 4.7 stars from Amazon shoppers, which is impressive for such a new product.

For shoppers who want the best possible streaming experience, the 4K version of Google Chromecast is also on sale, with a 20% discount that brings the price to under $40.

Is there a catch?

There’s just one — the pastel-colored versions of this streaming device are not currently available on Amazon, so you’ll have to settle for the white colorway pictured below. However, considering this device is designed to stay hidden behind your TV, we don’t think that’s much of a problem.
