Customer Ratings & Reviews

All the content partners like Hulu, YouTube, Netflix, and Google Play Music + many more are there , but this device still does more than just play video from faraway servers. I found out i can actually display my own videos and photos on my devices running iOS and Android. It only took an install of Google Photos app and even if my photos weren't uploaded they'd play on my TV amazingly quick. In addition to that some websites let me cast content without requiring that i download an app. The media dongle streams content with an impressive response since it uses the new wireless AC standard and having an AC compatible router, the stuff i want to watch loads plenty fast. I keep a focus on the speed because i wasnt expectng it. I only wish you could opt at what quality video streams because i dont known if it 720p or 1080p. Oh and the Chromecast app is worth a download because it gives out a ton of Offers. I got Sling Tv for 3 months trial! Stuff like that, and YouTube red for 3 months free to. Im happy with the purchase, i also wish Best Buy sold it in the various colors Google does on their website. I wont lie though, my heart is still with my Apple Tv.

I didn't buy the original Chromecast because of its small RAM, only wifi 2.4ghz, and streaming limitations to 720p at 60fps or 1080p at 30fps. Also at the time app compatibility was limited. This new model exceeded my expectations. The 5ghz band is much faster and doesn't cause Bluetooth interference. The backgrounds are very customizable and the link with Google+ allows lots of cool info and pics from other sources. From my very slow laptop mirroring of the chrome browser and casting of music and video still was very clear. From my galaxy S5 I streamed a full HD movie (the free rental with purchase) with good quality and no pausing or A/V lag. I believe there is the option to have the Chromecast output 2 channel compressed audio in a multichannel format but I wish you could directly stream lossless audio or multichannel from your own media library. MP3 and M4A files streamed fine but surround was incompatible and 48khz 24bit 2 channel wav files came out distorted. Overall the new Chromecast is pretty great. My only complaint is not being able to cast your own lossless audio for playback.

I had heard of the Chromecast, but wasn't sure how it worked,at all.A friend of mine who had one hooked up showed me how it worked, and I ordered one the next day! It's so easy,and so great. Essentially if you don't have a Smart TV this device allows you to have one..Netflix,Pandora,YouTube,Hulu etc.if it's a video you can stream it..I love it!! Even can view pics and vids from personal gallery!

Small and Affordable streaming device in market today. Not much to set up. Lots of ways to stream...via phone, tablet and Google Chrome. NetFllix works like a charm. Smooth and controllable.

Having had the prior model Chromecast I didn't expect much different. Aside from the new puck shape and hanging connectors, functionality is the same. The enhanced antennas and speeds are a plus. Bang for the buck it's my favorite media streamer. It's simple to use for my children, youngest is 4, and my elderly in laws. Set up is simple and then you just open your commonly used Chromecast enabled apps, connect and cast. Doesn't get much simpler. A definite buy for $35, can't really go wrong.

I buy a Chromecast anytime I have a chance. I started with one in my room and soon I had one for every room in my house plus one in my office for presentations. Since I don't a 4k resolution, I buy the regular Chromecast which has been suiting my needs at a great price.

I bought the original Comcast and loved it. The revision is even better especially with it being able to connect to my 5Ghz wifi wireless channel streaming video at full 1080p HD. I would definitely recommend it :)

The chromecast device has been a good product for me. If you follow the simple directions on the t.v. Screen it takes very little time to start streaming. I am annoyed that NBC NY can’t be streamed on Chromecast.

Great for casting any media between two hardware devices. Set-up was a breeze and now i can watch media on bigger screens instead of straining to see them on my smart phone!

Nothing on tv?Computer in another room? No room for your laptop? Google has you covered with Chromecast, just plug into a HDMI port on your tv, plug in the power source (let update) set up ( about 10 min) an now you can mirror your smartphone (Andriod or that fruity phone) to your tv (you can even let your friends share connect)

I love Chromecast I got it as a present. Sadly after a year it acted up and I did have to buy a new one. Other than that it's been great. It works well with many apps. I can even cast videos from Facebook to my tv. I highly recommend it. Very easy to install as well!!!

I came into the store to purchase something to hook up my computer to the television so I could get Netflix on my tv. I purchased this and am very satisfied with the product it wasn't expensive but does what I needed it for. Thank you for showing me what I needed !! When I came in l had no idea what I was looking for but thanks to a nice gentlemen that works there, l told him what I wanted and he took me to the counter and I looked this over, it was an easy fix to get the channels l wanted!

Great price, highly responsive, easy to set up, however couldn't find much of a difference from the old model besides the design.

I purchased this for my older samsung t.v. it basically mirrors whatever you have on your smart phone.simply plug it into the t.v. hdmi port and usb to power it up or you can plug it into your house outlet. follow the on screen instructions.

Very easy to use, much better than the last model.

We have been very happy with our Google Chromecast purchase. It was very easy to install and set up and works just as advertised. Gives access to a tremendous amount of channels and content, although there is still some programming not available on Chromecast that we would like to see available there, such as DirecTv programming and some other live network programming. This is why I am not giving it 5 stars. If I could give 4.5 stars, I would. Overall, the Chromecast is a great addition to a TV that does not already pick up cable or satellite coverage, and even to those that do.

I was in my local Best Buy store picking up an online order and saw a stack of these by the register. They were on sale and I had thought about getting one for the downstairs TV, so I bought it. Set it up the day after Christmas and have really enjoyed watching HD videos ever since!

If you are using a network that requires a password first, no problems. The problem occurs when you are using a network that requires the password or click to accept after you login. I've encountered this problem mostly in hotels trying to put the game on the TV. Also library's or other public WIFI ports. Otherwise it works great off my laptop or phone.

Highly recommended accessory for the fun of the whole family.

Great easy to use with clear views on many shows using any friends cable or dish service provider
