    I haven't had the chance to return this product as of yet, because of my work schedule, but it has got to go. I own the older model and that works perfectly. I got the new model and put it on a new TV in my home and it keeps glitching, and the router is right next to it. Please put the old model back on the market. THANK YOU

    I was excited to explore other options besides cable and purchased the Chromecast. Personally I just did not like trying to use my phone as a remote. Being a little old school, I like the idea of having a remote. I am sure it is a great product for those who like using their phone for everything. It just wasn't for me.

    I used my chrome for the first time to stream NCLS Cubs game 3. It wasn't great! It kept replaying plays over and over again while it was streaming perfectly on my computer. I tried streaming from my phone and it kept buffering every 30 seconds. I wish you could buy a product and it just worked the way it is supposed to!!!

    Whole family hated it

    This is my second time trying out the Google Chromecast. My parents hated it because they had to use their phones as the remotes and they just couldn't get it to do what they wanted when they tried. I hated it because my parents would then call me to get it working again. We ended up returning it and getting a Roku with a proper remote and now we are all VERY happy.

    I had previous version of the chrome cast and I didn't face any issues but the new one creates lot of issues while casting. I am totally fed up with the device and most of the time am using connecting to laptop using HDMI cable. I should have been return this item. I believe previous version is better than the new one.

    This products response from the phone to the t.v down to the loading was too slow. It reminded me of a dial up connection. Also the application that I thought I could stream to the device was not available. I returned the product after 10 days for a full refund.

    I wish I had not thrown my receipt away!! This thing drops every 5 minutes. As soon as Im getting into a movie that I have mirrored from my tablet, the signal drops and I have to spend time reconnecting my tablet to my Chromecast. If Google is reading this, please let me know how I can return this for a refund.

    Compared to a Roku this streaming device is very poor. It depends on other devices for control. I have a laptop, smartphone and google home assistant that have some ability to control it. I can't figure out how to get the audio working with any of them.

    Purchased this so we could try some streaming apps. Setup was easy linking our TV and Android tablet. Some apps work better than others, but that will probably improve over time. And we're still exploring. If you don't have a smart TV and don't have a need/want for cable, this is a good option.
