Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great device, user friendly and easy setup! This is one main device to get if you are a user of Google ecosystem. It has a reset button on the side in case you ever need to fix things. Download the "Localcast" and Google Home app to your device and stream away! NOTE: This device DOES NOT store media or have apps to install. You can also use a PC or laptop and stream to it from the Chrome web browser. Once connected to the internet, it pulls the info from there (when using streaming services like Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, etc.).

This is my go to device for casting movies from my phone to the TV. It's small and it hides behind my TV and the quality is good.

The google chrome cast is a neat casting option for your home. Setup was a little confusing on Andriod, but a little easier on an iPhone. Casting is a neat option for movies and YouTube.

I currently have 3 of these in my home and use them every day. I only have a cable going to one TV, so I can stream any tv show, live tv, or game to and of the other TVs using my phone or my laptop and it is so convenient.

This is a great addition to my television experience! I have had the original Chromecast for over a year now, and the new version connects to my network better and is faster to load shows once casting has been initated. A great improvement!

This is a quick solution if you have an old LCD without any smart tv feature. The device is connected easily via HDMI and plugged to AC outlet. The setup is really simple following screen steps as guideline. You have to use any mobile device to manage the content via cast apps, like YouTube, Google Photos or a Chrome browser and third parties like Netflix, etc. Other similar gadgets has its own control buy you need a mobile to operate the Chromecast. A guest mode is available so any visit connected to the same wifi can stream to it.

We have a couple of the older models so when we saw that there was a newer version we jumped at it. So far it works great. Less time buffering or waiting. Not bad for the price either.

I can watch vidoes and movies on my TV from my phone, tablet or laptop using Chromecast. Works like a champ. Do yourself a favor and get one.

It automatically switches the input on the television to the appropriate source without me having to manually change the source. it allows me to mirror my Samsung android to the television, thus allowing me to watch movies from my phone.

I bought a second Chromecast after having too many problems with the recommended (and expensive) blu-ray player for Netflix and other streaming. I had better experience with my first Chromecast on one TV, so I bought another one to replace the blu-ray. It works better and no issues or connection problem like some people reviewed. I did upgrade my wifi and added a wifi extender, but it was time to do that anyway, can't hurt with all the devices connected to the network. The Chromecast is much less expensive and I think works better.

Easy to set up, very usefull, you can use all your streaming apps like netflix and youtube on the bigscreen. Very convenient to have

Compared to the 2012 model Chromecast, Google’s newest dongle now supports 802.11ac dual-band networks and makes use of an adaptive antenna for vastly improved networking performance. Put simply, the new Chromecast won’t struggle with local streaming via Plex like its predecessor did

I was looking for a simpler wireless solution to present content on the portable projector. I can now cast my Fitness Blender workout videos from the iPhone to the projector and no longer need to setup a computer with an HDMI cable or purchase a more expensive Apple TV. I can also watch movies via Netflix, HBO, etc. on the projector and only need the iPhone to get the streaming started and then I can turn off my phone or leave the room, as opposed to Apple TV mirroring where the iPhone would be used for the duration of the movie.

The chrome cast was very easy to install. It is also very cheap. I didn't have a smart tv but wanted to use my tv as a same tv.

Great way to stream. Economical way to add streaming to TVs that aren't "smart" without adding another remote control to the collection.

The Google Chromecast is the perfect device to help cut the cords from cable and satellite television content providers. Stream content from Netflix, Youtube, music and other providers. Easy to connect to your home network with the Google Home app installed on your phone. When not streaming Chromecast runs a slideshow screensaver of beautiful photographs from Google photo database. I wish Google would add an option to run the photographs slideshow while streaming musics from a personal device. Fantastic purchase.

this device is increidble - turns any tv to a smart and easy to use tv-- also love how i can control it with google mini

I absolutely love the chrome stick. I have a Roku TV in our bedroom and a older 70' Plasma TV in our living room. I missed not being able to stream to our Plasma and having to use cables and adapters to connect laptop, iPad, iPhone, ...but the TV still works perfect so no need to buy a new one yet. So after some research I decided to get the Chromecast. Now with one click i mirror any screen i want. It should get a 3/4 of a star more but that was sadly not possible. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it has one little negative point for me. The product is designed as a product on the go. I understand that it if it is an new network you have to connect the stick to the new network. But you have to re input your network every time if you go to an other network. It would be nice if it had some sort of memory to store previous networks that you have connected with before. Like a cellphone has with the WiFi points it has bin connected with. It may not be possible inside the stick but maybe in the Chromecast App. Lets hope for one of the software updates. But next to that, perfect product. Comes with USB cable and power adapter. I love it. For 35$ its a no brainer!!!

I been using this when it first came out, and I love it, but I think the first one works better, just a little bit better picture, why I'm not giving this a 5 star rating is because it seems like at times I have to plug it in 2 or 3 times because the HD devices seems to not recognize that its plug in.

I've always been a fan of Google and their products and this product is no exception. the 1st gen of this product worked well and this version improves on that by adding faster streaming and connectivity. Thanks Google.
