And I have to say they delivered! Loads faster and my picture is sharper. That's all I wanted, (as the old one broke). Works great far as I'm concerned.

I never thought of buying one of these devices before until I got the Google Home and it cast to Chromecast ... I think it's a good product to get because It turns my Non-smart TV smart, so now I can watch Netflix and other apps...

I baby all of my possessions, electronic or not, so this is pretty disappointing. Has been on its last legs fritzing out for several weeks now, it just glitches and freezes while streaming Netflix, and goes into a random color screen of death. Pretty disappointing for a device that just about a year old that costs $70.00 to break down for no apparent reason, rhyme or reason. My cheaper, basic, first generation Chromecast is still going strong in the bathroom TV. As a longtime first adopter of Google products, with like five Google assistants all over the house, and other Chromecast devices, and better tester of software, this isn't the norm for their products, but, Google, you gonna stand behind your products and replace this thing for me?

  Hi PompousHero,
  
  Thanks for your valuable feedback on Chromecast Ultra. We’re sorry to hear you’re having this issue. A disappointing experience is definitely not what we want you to have with our products.
  
  If you’re encountering performance and quality issues when trying to cast content, please try the following:
  
  - Toggle Wi-Fi off/on your phone.
  - Exit any battery-draining applications that are running on the background.
  - Turn off power saving mode on your device.
  - Decrease the distance between the TV, your casting device (phone/tablet/computer), and the Wi-Fi router. The distance should be less than 15-20 feet (5-6 meters) apart, ideally within the same room.
  - Keep your phone’s operating system up to date.
  - Unplug both the Chromecast Ultra and the router from the power outlet and leave it unplugged for at least 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, plug it back in, and wait for it to completely reboot.
  
  If the steps above don't help out with the problem, please feel free to get in touch with our specialists here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/contactflow

I love my Google products and this is definitely one of them. We utilize this product in our living room paired with our Google Home speaker for a better 4K streaming experience. My only complaint is that it is not a standalone product where you can simply control it right out of the box. It doesn't come with a HUB to browse on the television or a remote to control it. Your phone, tablet, PC, laptop OR Google Home speaker is your "remote". So if for some unearthly reason you do not have any of these things, you will not be able to control/use this. I planned on getting another one for our guest bedroom; however, I cannot justify requiring my guests to have Google's Home app, connecting to my wi-fi and using their phones in order to watch television in the comfort of their room while they stay with us. I also cannot justify having to spend additional money to put a tablet or Google Home speaker in there just to be able to control it either. If Google added a HUB to their product with an on-screen browser and a remote controller to use, this product would get a 5th star. For my guests, I had to get a FireTV stick to accommodate them as it is far simpler and less a hassle to get them up-and-running with their television viewing. I suppose I could have just taken the television out of that room and require them to interact with us instead of staying in the room. GOOGLE NEEDS TO WORK HARDER AT MAKING LIFE SIMPLER! :)
