Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy to setup. Worked great for me. Main reason we got was because YouTube app broke on our smart TV. This fixed that problem and has many more advantages all for 30 bucks. Well worth it. No buffering and clear video.

Chromecast works great. Easy to set up and stream. Works with iPhones and iPads no problem. I have the google home and google mini and it works seamlessly with both using my voice or iPhone / iPad.

I had one from before and wanted one for my other TV. They are easy to use since most mobile apps have a Chromecast feature. It works well with most Android devices (uncertain about Apple devices).

If you don't mind the very simple ui of this streaming dongle and using your phone as apposed to an independent remote, then I would recommend this as a great wireless alternative to a micro usb to hdmi cable. The app support is reaching levels to the point where it is hard to find a video or music app (besides apple music which I feel is morally apposed to supporting a google product that competes with their own) that doesn't support it. DISCLAIMER: As I said before, apple has a hard time adjusting to technology that isn't their own. That being said, if you live in the Apple ecosystem, it would be highly advised that you get an apple tv or roku instead. It simply just doesn't work as well with iphones as androids, but it is still functional)

I don't have a single issue with the updated Chromecast. It was easy to set up, it's easy to cast from my laptop or my phone, it's fast with no lag issues, it's the perfect piece of equipment, and an amazing price.

I got the Chromecast 2.0 recently and this changed my TV experience completely. This is very easy to connect . Any device / app that supports the chrome cast can be connected instantly without any lag unlike my roku3. Roku3 - Youtube cast takes atleast 45 secs to 1 minute and is not friendly to Rev / FF. Chromecast is taking 10secs to connect and is very smooth while Rev / FF. i like this very much and i recommend this to any one who is planning to have TV casting.

Google hit the mark with Chromecast. It is great being able to put content from my phone / iPad to the TV. It works extremely well with the mobile app as well. I love that I'm able to cast content full screen and then use my phone or iPad while the content is still playing. The one drawback (which isn't Google's fault) is that some apps don't support Chromecast. I'm not sure why, but this means you're unable to display the video content from these apps on the TV. In the office, we're able to use Chromecast quite reliably to project computer content during meetings. Overall, a fantastic device. It is definitely a 5-star rating, especially considering the low price point.

Great streaming device for the price. I owned the old verison and it would sometines require restarting some apps for it to cast properly; this one works great. I love the fact that it has Spotify compatibility

This is a very easy to use product. Fun to cast videos too. If you have a Google phone like the nexus/Pixel you can cast your whole screen and that is awesome. I wish google had also made it Miracast compatible so other phones could have done that too. Works great with a Google home device to cast videos to. I do miss a standalone remote though and wish it had an interface like a Roku. That's sometimes useful when you done want to operate a phone.

I use this device daily. It has great functionality and is able to be easily used by different programs. The only drawback I have encountered is that sometimes a specific device is not found when more than one Chromecasts are connected to a network

I did not know this product existed. I purchased this item after having a chat in the store with a Best Buy employee. We purchased a larger tv for the living room this year, a smart tv - and moved the original HD tv into a bedroom. We don't have cable television and I knew that we could purchase Roku or Apple tv for the television in the bedroom so I went to the store to research both. I saw the Google Chromecast which was less expensive and asked a Best Buy employee to help explain the differences between the Roku, Apple and Chromecast. The Chromecast does what we want, gives us the access we need, has an app for a cell phone and costs less money. It was easy to set up and I am glad I asked the questions and compared products.

In the past I have used roku but Chormecast takes the cake, you can stream anything from your phone or laptop and still use the device. Quality is great and it does whatever I need it to in a matter of seconds!

First, this is not a general-purpose stand-alone streamer (like a Roku). It acts sort of as a virtual 2nd display from either a phone or a PC. From an Android device, you can ONLY stream from apps that have a "stream" button built-in. Most media apps have this, but Amazon Video does not (Amazon being a jerk in an effort to get you to buy a Fire TV). From a PC, you can ONLY use this is you use Chrome, but you can either transmit one Chrome tab, or your entire desktop. If you really need to get a web page on your TV, and you use Chrome, this is a great choice. Otherwise, a Roku (such as the inexpensive Roku Express) is worth the extra money. If you really need to pinch your pennies and can live with the limitations, then this works fine. Just check to make sure that your desired app supports casting. (I did not test this with any Apple devices).

I bought this for my wife so she could stream her shows. It does a wonderful job. Using the app makes it easy instead of having to fidget with another remote. Would recommend if you are looking for something inexpensive so you can stream Amazon Prime or Netflix or Vudu.

In today's world where many people are getting rid of cable, the alternative is the google chromecast. It can stream anything from your phone to your tv, and the newer version is even faster than the old one!

I have used many devices such as Roku, Apple TV and Chromecast. I found the chromecast is the best to case via any devices such as Iphone/Android phone, Ipad/Samsung Tab or through Laptop or through casting apps available in App Store or Google store. It is well integrated with most of the apps and have a quick connection with Youtube and easy to cast any videos on any site to TV. My old one in which I was using for 3 years has been broken due to my child played with it. I bought this new one. I am very happy with this purchase and will surely buy another for another room and my family without any hesitation. Best Google Product. I would recommend this to everyone.

Easily best and affordable streaming device out there. Simple setup, one wire, and ready to go. Streams pretty much anything. If streaming browser tab, must use chrome. Bought 2 for me, and 1 for the lady.

This product makes your TV a voice control with all your apps and movies and TV streaming much easier to access. Instead of having to pull up each app such as Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, Google Play etc... All you have to do is say "Hey Google play Rocky on Netflix in the Master Bedroom TV and it will do it. The only con is that it you have to switch from your cable box to the HDMI port with the Chromcast device so your normal channels are not as easy to access or maybe i have not learned how to do it. Another great feature is it connects to your wifi so anything on the internet it can access and once your program your address you can ask it where is the closest grocery store or a Fast Food restaurant and it will tell you and it will give you the store hours. I really enjoy this device. It can also control your lights, door locks and AC.

Chromecast got me into buying other google product specifically the Google mini and now I want to automate my whole home but Chromecast allows me to stream with my phone and google mini and turn off my tv for only $20 in fact I have 2 of them

This and my google home speaker are great companion devices to have. You can control your tv using the google home and even play your music, any video and if streams Netflix very well.
