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.

Everything is working as expected aside from a few issues that I am having streaming video , but I think that the cause is the app i am using and not the chromecast itself. I love the ability to use the USB on the back of my TV for power.

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#.

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.

Fast and easy setup. This device makes it so easy to stream anything to the TV, easy for anyone to use!

Allows me to stream workout apps from my phone to the screen while exercising in the home. Works perfectly!

Easy to set up on the TV and is compact. Nice to be able to cast shows and things from our smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc. using the chromecast

I already have a recent generation Apple TV, but decided to pick-up a Chromecast to go with a Google Home. Couldn't be more impressed with the Chromecast. For $35 it's an awesome little dongle to get content from your phone, tablet, or laptop to your TV. The integrations with the Chrome web browser to do screen sharing and with the Google Home really impressed me. I ended up buying multiple so there can be one on each TV. Would definitely recommend!

I absolutely love google, and we had another Chromecast just like this one already, however we had to have another! We got sick of moving the Chromecast from the TV in our bedroom to the TV in our kitchen. We had a lot of issues with the first Chromecast but since this upgraded one was released we've had no problems with it. Highly recommend. Unless you want to watch something on Amazon you can basically watch anything with it!

Set up was pretty easy for a non-techy. I was glad to cast but surprised that everything does not cast. I'm continuing to learn all the apps that can.

I was disappointed with how much it lagged & choppiness it had while using it to watch movies. I already new that it may be like this cause my friend purchased one a few months back and I saw how it looked on his television when he watched a movie. In fairness, I kind of expected this, So I wasn't upset. I thought I'd give it a chance and see how it looked on my Samsung 50 " TV that I bought from BestBuy less than a year ago. I would like to say that this is just my opinion of the Chromecast and this review is only based on watching a movie using it and not have a premium service, etc. Let me say though that this is a great product. It work's perfect to view pictures, emails, social media, etc. I felt the price was very fair as well. If this is your only option to have your television act like a " Smart TV ", or its best for you economically/financially then It may be great for you to do whatever it is that you need it to do with it. It really just depends on what you're going to be using it for. I say to give it a try like I did, cause you can't beat it for the price. BestBuy was excellent as always about returning/refunding purchase back to me without asking any questions. I hope this helps anyone out there and thank you Bestbuy for always being professional and helping me with whatever it is that I need help with at any given time.

Google Chromecast is great for the ease casting video and music apps. The Chromecast obviously works well with the Google apps, but still works will with a vast selection of third party video apps. Using your phone, tablet, or laptop as the controller is great, but I feel a remote with a direct connection with the Chromecast with resetting the device if the device you're using as a remote has a error. Overall, it is a great casting device with a variety of features. It is always great watching YouTube on the TV instead of my phone.

We had the original Chromecast and find this one to be easier to use and provides better picture quality.

Love that I can use my iOS device to stream, however it's very limited, I cannot stream everything, for example I cannot stream directly from safari on my iPhone. The good thing is I can use my MacBook Pro and stream everything off of the chrome browser.

This is just an upgraded model of original Chromecast. It has upgraded internals that make the Wi-Fi stronger and less prone to drop connections. Image quality is still good for streaming quality.

I've been through using the Roku and Amazon Fire and prefer this device because it has all the other options but also allows you to send YouTube TV video to your TV from your phone.

Easy to use Picture quality is awesome So nice to be able to attend from your phone

This product is wonderful I set one up in the bedroom it was a Christmas present for my husband and it was working wonderful I just loved it I have one in my living room and I reuse it all the time

Like the new chromecast that connects to 5Gh freq which doubled bandwidth so virtually no buffering. Only problem is casting slingbox, but I think it's a problem with app not the chromecast itself.

I would really give it 4.5 because nothing is perfect. But it does some surprisingly handy things that I did not expect. I like my Roku for different reasons and I like having both, but the Chromecast lets me access and watch all sorts of web-based content that can't be done with the Roku stick or my Samsung Smart TV alone. But the most innovative use was to turn my 42" screen TV into a teleprompter for a youtube video project. I was able to open the google word doc script on my Chromebook and broadcast it to the TV screen via the Chromecast. It made my day. Saved me hours of memorization or posterboard teleprompts. This is not a feature for everybody but it does show the Chromecast's versatility.
