Very easy to set up and use. I love that I don't need another separate remote. It is so easy to cast my photos and home videos taken on my smartphone to the tv. And all those pod casts on the internet that don't use an app can be shown on the tv from my internet browser on my laptop.

have bought 2 of this lil things, couldn't find my previous older model so i bought the new ones and it works great. a lot more apps have started to popup on chrome-cast so all the better. easy setup and you don't have to worry about it again, just leave it tucked away behind the tv.

Very easy HDMI connection to your television, allows you to watch You Tube videos, Netflix, an HBO product, Hulu, and more. Some of those require a subscription and if you already have a subsciption (we do to Netflix), just sign in as you normally would do. No more trying to watch tiny images on your phone! I haven't tried other apps yet, but the salesman told me there are many apps that can be viewed on the television with this product. Ios (Apple) users note~~you have to sign into Chrome to be able to view things with this device. It won't bring up anything with the Safari browser on iPhone.

although I don't see a difference between the original chrome that first came out - I like this design better - seems more modern and sleek - the casting is great with no interruptions and all is easy to setup . we were up and running in about 5 minutes. great!

If i were to pay $35 for this, it'd be 4 stars, but for $20 This is an extremely good casting device to buy. Sure you have roku players or the amazon fire stick, but simply wanting to watch something on your phone to the big screen couldn't be simpler and fast.

We don't own a smart TV, but we were ready to drop Satellite. We were spending over $100 a month on Directv, and we wanted a way out. So I did some research and decided to try Youtube TV, and I highly recommend it. But in order to utilize it, I needed this device to make it happen. The Chromecast is a simple to use device that works very well. It works great with my Iphone, and allows me to watch Youtube and Youtube TV on my TV with ease, and the broadcast always comes in clear, just as if I was watching a Satellite cast. Highly recommend!

I got the new version of the chromecast because anytime I used YouTube TV there was long pause and message that said my Chromecast was first gen and might have long delays when watching live programming. That doesn't happen with the new one but I do constantly lose connection to the Chromecast and have to rest out to reconnect.

Chromecast is great when you pair it with a Google Home. Just tell Google Home what you want to watch on your TV and it plays instantly. You can ask for trending videos on YouTube or any show on Netflix once your account is added in the Google Home app. It's a breeze. You can also stream your Google Photos directly to your TV without even opening the app on your phone. For example, you can say "Ok Google, show me photos of my kids on my TV." Chromecast will open the Google Photos app on your TV and find the pictures of your kids in your photo library. It's a great streaming device with an unbeatable price.

Hated cable. Cut the chord and bought an antenna. Still wanted on demand access to Netflix and Prime so I did some research and bought this. It works as advertised and I can drive it with my smart phone, tablet or PC. Highly recommended for cord cutters and no additional remotes!

Just plug this into my TV HDMI port and I'm ready to cast from pretty much anything my smartphone or laptop's Chrome browser. It's fun to view pictures from my smartphone or laptop on the big screen. I'm also able to cast my music from my browser to the TV.

Product works perfectly! If you have a TV that doesn't have Chromecast built-in, this is a perfect way to stream almost any video content from your laptop via Chrome or phone via Chromecast app. It's also on sale for the holidays for $20 which is incredible

2016: OFFICIAL- MUST HAVE DEVICE

I was hoping that I could use chromecast 2 for xbox one game streaming, it does work but not flawless. The lag makes it difficult to play even with the Windows 10 PC plugged into router directly via ethernet. For movies and streaming what the device was intended it works great. Just for my personal situation, I would love to see the speed increased to allow for Xbox One game stream. It works, but a little slow. Also, I have only had device one day but even with streaming movies, there are several circumstances where it disconnected in the middle of film. Overall, Google created a real game changer with this device.
