I have started to stray away from tv services and move towards videos and online videos. Keeping a minimal range of devices to one's self is great and streaming straight from the phone is great.

I love Chromecast. I had the previous version and just purchased this new version for my other TV. I find it a little odd just hanging from the HDMI input, but I don't see it so it doesn't bother me. Works great.

Maybe I was expecting more of an interface with apps like an Apple TV or a fire TV, but it just takes whatever u sling from your device. Works well for what it is, just not quite what I was expecting. Definitely keeping it, but I wouldn’t buy another.

My kids love to watch online videos and now that our internet speed at home has been bumped up to 300mbps, I thought it was time for us to try the Chromecast. It was easy to set up and use and my kids are happy!

I love to be able to plug this in on my TV and to be able to cat Netflix and youtube on the TV from my phone! You can also cast Spotify. Overall really pleased with this device. So far no issues.

I wasn't sure if this was going to work for us after another attempt at going wireless failed but it's extremely easy to install, connect and use. Seriously it's idiot proof!! The one time it gave me a problem I rebooted it and it hasn't happened again.

I bought the original Chromecast that just plugged into the back of my TV and it did a good job until I started having problems casting and connecting with my tablet. I purchased the new updated one and love it. Easy to set up and casting is easy with the touch of a button. Changes the input on the TV automatically. Unfortunately, it will not change the format back when you are done watching. Also needs to be plugged into the wall. Overall, I am quite happy with it.

Chromecast is a great little device and does exactly as advertised. I recently ditched my cable and this has been a nice addition to being able to watch some TV through my computer. I certainly recommend this.

Using your smartphone as a remote control, you can use Chromecast to access video content from Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, the Google Play Store and other services. I liked this product very much.

Solid Product, Can Be Finicky to Set Up

This is a great device, and has all but replaced the HDMI cable in our conference room. These can now cast the entire Windows/Mac desktop, not just a browser tab, so this makes the need for a Windows Display Extender obsolete. My only complaint is that for some unknown reason, this unit had difficulty connecting to my work wireless. I had to run the setup 5 or 6 times before it would take. Since then (about 4 weeks), it has been rock solid. And the price is unbeatable.

This device is great. Want to stream music on your TV in a snap? Want to watch YouTube videos on a huge screen? The Chromecast has so many more functions and is as simple to use as it can get.

This is the second one that I've bought over the past couple of years. This is the newer version and is much easier to plug in the TV. Occasionally it stops the casting, but that may be due to the source of the programming. Overall it's pretty good.
