    This is easy to use. Plus Best Buy usually has it in stock. It is great to project to most televisions, but if you don't have a powered USB or power close by then it can be a pain.

    This device works really well for quickly casting videos on your TV, especially if you do not have a Smart TV or do not want to go through the trouble of starting your console to play Hulu or Netflix videos. You use your phone as a remote with this device and it is extremely easy to use. Be careful though because this works through your internet, and all devices connected to your WiFi will be able to cast using this device.

    As the summary title says, all you need to do is plug it into the HDMI port on your TV then follow the instructions to set it up. Very easy to do even for a tech dinosaur like me.

    I was one of the early adopters of the chromecast. When the time came to get a similar product for a 2nd tv, I didn't hesitate to buy the newer version. Still one of the best purchases I've made.

    The google chromecast is a very good streaming device. This revised version is much faster than the first generation and allows you to watch pretty much every single app possible.

    This was one of the best gadget I purchased for Thanksgiving. Cast any online content like HBO from your laptop or iPad directly on to your TV. Me and my wife are great fans of Game of Thrones so we cast HBO directly on to our smart TV to watch in HD.

    Has a limited use but does it very well. Exceptional performance for the money - especially in contrast to the disappointing performance of the Apple TV purchased at the same time for alot more.

    Easier to fit in tight spaces than prior model. Works as expected and saves us from having to bring laptops to the conference room for presentations. Now everyone can present from their phone.

    The Chromecast is exactly what I was looking for to show various slideshows I've created with my iPhone. The installation instructions were very easy to follow, just plus it in and follow along.

    I already had chromecast and use it heavily all the time, this one I got for $19 bucks on Black Friday and it connects to my Google Home Mini. Now Kids don't have to ask me to search for their movie on Netflix they can just say it.

    I don't have the latest smart television, and the google chromecast just modernized my television viewing experience by allowing me to watch and listen to my app content directly from my tv. Just plug it into an available hdmi slot on the tv, plug the usb power into an outlet, let the chromecast update to the latest firmware, and you're done and ready to watch the latest android app content. Simply easy and amazing to use.

    I've had the older version of the chromecast for the longest time, and it worked perfectly. Now this one, with its more redefined casing/body is just great. Slimmer, and easier to fit anywhere.

    Since you can't just use screen mirroring with your phone and have to open an app that supports this feature it's not any different than any other streaming device. Setup is easy and fast. Good device when you don't want to juggle with another remote.

    Just makes watching movies on the TV so much easier and pleasant without having to resort to using so many remotes. Only drawback was that I never received my free $25 GooglePlay store credit.

    I love chromecast, it works smoothly without any issues! I don't have to have a huge device to play all of the apps I love(: All it took was, less then 5 minutes to set it up. Thank you Google!

    Great enhancement to my smart TV

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I was skeptical of buying Chromecast, since I already have a smart TV with a lot of the same apps on it as Chromecast. But, what I now realize is that I can cast a lot more up to my TV than what the smart TV, itself, is capable of delivering. So, this device greatly expanded the viewing options available. One reason I did not give it 5 stars is because Chromecast still cannot seem to negotiate 5GHz wi-fi. I have to "dumb down" to my slower wi-fi connection. Fortunately, I have a router that can serve up multiple types of wi-fi connections. (And, I could not find any documentation on this issue, so I had to figure it out on my own.) Otherwise, I'd give this device 5 stars.

    Great product, easy to use for the multiple streaming options available now. Has 5.1 output (if you use an A/V receiver, it likely needs to be plugged indirectly for 5.1), and full HD output.
