Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this 2015 model as an upgrade for the increased connectivity. Although there isn't a big difference between this model and the last model, this works just as great and is worth every penny.

When I first bought this device, I didn't really know what to do with it. Now, I use very cleverly to turn on the TV to Star Trek for my dog, when I'm not home. Not that my dog cares, but I think it makes her think someone is home. It's also great to stream content from my phone or iPad to my TV. Another fantastic use case is playing / changing YouTube shows like Wheel of Fortune for my mom remotely, since she is in her 90s.

Having much better luck with this model over the first. Router is up one flight and on the other side of the house. No problems connecting or staying connected. Stream MKV and MP4 files only. I don't even bother with AVI at all. Am using a couple of different Android apps installed on my tablet to control the streaming from my laptop and which one I use depends on my mood. Again, no issues at all when using this. Will take the 1st gen model with my when I travel.

I use this all the time to share pictures, videos or posts from Facebook to a bigger screen for everyone to see. much easier than hooking up a cable or passing the tablet around from person to person.

When I bought the device the salesman told me that it didn't require WiFi, it does by the way. It works great as long as you have that connection for your Chromecast. The set up process wasn't the easiest but once it's done it works smoothly.

Plug and play, easy setup through the Google Home App. Was able to easily cast videos from Youtube to my TV.

it function flawlessly every time. Great for casting Netflix, hulu, screen mirrowing. music. love it

I didn't think I would like not having a dedicated remote for this device, but it is actually pretty nice! Plus Google home let's me control it with my voice so it is very cool to use!

This unit works great I love it the new unit is better looking and the magnet helps to conceal it Great product..

Use it everyday to easily watch my YouTube subsciption videos. Paired with the Google Home, you can just use your voice to go to the next video or turn up the volume. It is al set up in the Google Home app, they make it pretty easy to set up. And Love the backdrops that play when the Chromecast is not playing anything. My Parents, Sister, and Grandparents all use a Chromecast. Just makes it easy to consume media on a bigger screen.

The boyfriend purchased this, he didn't realize you have to have google chrome in order to use this. Wasn't an issue setting an account up in order to use it, but if you're buying this for an office make sure you're able to use google chrome on your desktop.

I bought several of these for the TVs around the house. It's a good little plug n play device... just make sure you have another power jack available near the TV since this requires a power chord.

Great product but Google did not make the process to lync a laptop using Google Chrome to the chromecast device very intuitive. The instructions provided are pretty useless. Had to mess around with the settings a few times before it worked.

I have one 1st gen google chrome cast. My tv is old so it does not have USB power. For this new one with long USB line and included converter, much flexible to use. Great improvement.

I had 2 of the first gen of the chromecasts, and it's a mass improvement. Before it cast few apps, now I have more options to cast. The update of the software allow your guests to cast, using a pin#.

Had the first gen Chromecast, this one takes up way less space! Better WiFi connection, easy to set up and go!

I am using the Chromecast with a 2014 smart TV from a leading company. The simple interface (your phone) is significantly better than any smart TV interface. Excellent for streaming video and music.

I got this product for my boyfriend house we do not do a lot of tv watching there we are on the go a lot. But it is great for new movies through our phone and good local channels alsoz

We use chromecast on both our TVs very easy to use and setup great for casting shows and music to tv

This is my second chrome cast. The first one was a literal plug and play. This one seems to fight controls from each device and I can't seem to fix it. It's PROBABLY the google home app fighting between phones and tablets and NOT the chrome cast, but I DID NOT have this problem with the old chrome cast. The old one still works, but my husband wanted it to bring to the fire-station so they could watch Netflix when not on a call. So, I put the new one at home, but now all the devices fight for control. All in all, it is a fantastic option for a non smart tv.
