Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have 4 Chromecasts in my home. 2 of which are the old ones. I was super happy with the old ones. Not a ton has changed for the newer ones, but I didn't pay any more than what I did for the old ones so I am happy with the product overall... I rather enjoy the new Home (chromecast) app and streaming is super simple through any device (phone, tablet or computer)

- Small and beutiful - Easy to set up - Works great from mobile, laptop

My husband was thrilled to receive this CHROMECAST. Truthfully, I know nothing about it, but got it because he wanted it. He loves it,

Great for streaming works great on HDMI on any tv. Easy to install

Chromecast is great, but it's important to understand what it does and does not do. It essentially does two things: (1) it plays media, triggered by another device (laptop, iPhone, Android tablet, etc.) and (2) it mirrors a Chrome browser session. What's important to understand is that, if you're in YouTube app on your phone and send a video to Chromecast, it doesn't play the video through your phone; rather, it takes a command from your phone, pulls up YouTube, and plays the video. That means that both your phone and the Chromecast need to have access to the Internet. Alternatively, you can use the mirroring feature through a browser window, in which case, only your casting device requires access to the Internet. This is important to understand when traveling on guest networks and when considering Chromecast for cord-cutting. Essentially, what Chromecast does is turn a dumb TV or a monitor into a smart TV. As more TVs come with Fire, Roku, Google, etc. built-in, a Chromecast will only be needed if you prefer the Google interface over what comes built-in. Still technologically amazing how much Google does with a tiny USB-powered device.

It works with my apple laptop by downloading google chrome as my browser and it is $35 compared to apple tvs $145. However I'm not sure if my internet is just too slow or the browser stinks but when I cast it to the tv it often struggles with the buffering. I'm not sure if the Apple TV would've been better or not but I just didn't want to pay that much to try it out. I'm wondering if it is just my internet service though since I live out of town and there is only one company that provides internet for us at 16mps being the fastest.

Excellent streaming device for the price. Easy setup and navigation.

We bought 2 one for us and one for our son. Our son is going to use while away from home to watch his Netflix and stream from our Tablo. I did not like having to use a tablet or smartphone to use it.

Is awesome, Just what i need it for my job/personal use the service is fantastic for what is worth Thank you so much experts/knowledge personality

Great product. It would be great if google adds a option to pair a sound bar to chrome cast to play the sound directly from chromecast

I was so bored before I got my chromecast now I can listen to music watch movies watch YouTube on my TV from my phone its cool and fun

Excellent product from Google. Because of this I decided to discontinue my TV cable/internet subscription from Century Link. I very much like the capability of mirroring my desktop computer to my TV.

I picked this up as a gift for a friend, they reported back that it is very responsive and compliments their apple tv very well, very pleased overall

If you love Google and/or Android products this is an item you must have for you home entertainment system. You can stream almost any major app and from time to time more apps that werent working will start to work. You can stream video and music straight to your TV and/or sound system anywhere you wifi goes. You can screen mirror your phone or tablet too.

I'd been curious about how well the Chromecast worked with iOS devices for a long time and finally got to see it in action at my father-in-law's house and was very impressed. So we got one for my 12-year-old son for his birthday so he could watch his YouTube subscriptions on his TV, and he figured it out with me showing him only once and uses it every day.

Does what it says excellently. Can cast from tablet, phone, laptops.

We bought this when dropping traditional cable, we wanted something that could stream from both our cell phones and PC seamlessly, setup was easy and we've been happy with the purchase, sometimes it drops off connection to our wifi and gives a blue screen telling you to reconnect but restarting the chromecast through the app sorts that out

I have other streaming devices. Being able to cast content from the web, this product does something that the others don't do. I don't think it's nearly as user friendly as the other options though.

Google - Chromecast - Black This statement by Google about the Google - Chromecast is true: "Stream music in every room of the house with Google Chromecast. Access over 100 apps to listen to your favorites anytime. Plus, you can use your smartphone as a remote to play, pause, or adjust the volume. And texts or calls won't interrupt the music."

The new chromecast keeps the same formula as the old one, but improves it. Faster all around with a better streaming experience, you can't go wrong.
