Customer Ratings & Reviews

Its not supporting all internet capacities. Disappointed.

I remember getting the 1st gen chromecast and how i returned it within the first week. I like the new one not only for the cool design but also the added features like screen mirroring which is something I was looking for.

I decided to try this based on a recommendation from a friend. After searching the reviews thought it might be worth a try. Now can't imagine how I got along without it. Only thing sometimes it freezes but that could also be due to internet. Majority of the time works like a charm.

My TV is over 10 years old but works well. I LOVE that i can select something on Youtube or Netflix on my phone or tablet and be able to see on the TV. Unfortunately bad quality movies look even worse on the big screen.

5ghz band is what I use all day, so I was super happy to get this new version. I have the older version as well, and the only reason I got this one is for the 5ghz connection. That's the only thing I know to be different.

So far I’ve been happy with this model. Set up took a few times at bat but no issues once in place. Only advice is make sure the apps you may be streaming from are compatible, I just assumed all mine were, come to find out not alll will stream to Chromecast.

My monthly cable bill was >$200/month. Ridiculous! Best Buy tech suggested Google Chromecast as the best option for streaming. He was right. I am 68 years old & figured out how to set up & watch TV using this item.

I gave this as a gift for Christmas. We hooked it up, and it was not very clear or great quality for You Tube videos. Other than YouTube it worked seemingly fast and for the price it was great. Would suggest getting the Ultra

This is great connect in your television and you will be able to watch your movies from your mobile onto your television on a bigger screen less battery drainage and still charge your device while watching u shows and movies

I LOVE this device. I am able to watch shows and movies on my tvs. I like that it has clear resolution and that I don't have to wait for buffering to complete. Fast, easy and convenient for relaxing at home.

It is little bit slow than the amazon fire tv I exchnged for later.

For me, google chromecast is the best, i prefer using my phones or tablet as the remote. i have 2 first generation for my 2 other tv and they are still working efficiently. This 2nd generation did not disappoint either.

Mirrors what ever device you choose. Simple set up and now I run apps on my television from my phone. Good Value. Needs a little something, something that would allow for bluetooth access while running the Chromecast app. Especially for those music apps.

Great product for the money, better wi-Fi in this version provides really consistent connection. My only significant complaint with the first version was it dropped connections regularly with some situations I use this for screen sharing Pandora and a myriad of other applications.

I love this product, but sometimes it doesn't show up on my device and I have to reset it. I think it has to do with the wifi...not sure GREAT FOR PEOPLE WHO DONT HAVE A SMART TV !! #SAVELIVES

pretty good. hooked up to tv and can now access stuff that is good

If you have smart Tv, No need to buy this. Easy to setup.

I re-purposed a set of Altec Lansig speakers and subwoofer with this, and now use them all the time. If it weren't for the audio chrome cast, my speaker set would be collecting dust with the desktop that I bought them for.

Third chromecast, first of the newest version. Haven't noticed any performance upgrades since the last one, but I haven't performed any real benchmark tests. If you want to turn a "dumb" tv into a smart-ish one grab this.

It's a neat toy, since you can stream to it from Chrome and other apps on various devices. But it gets more difficult to make it work as you stray further from the GoogleSphere, since it does not support the DLNA standard that many other streaming sources use. The other problem is that the video is choppy at times despite a solid wireless connection. They use pre-optimization tricks for some of the content but if the content you want isn't lucky enough to get that treatement, the Chromecast has to work a lot harder to play it, and can fall behind. I think for everyday streaming, the money would be better put towards a more powerful box, perhaps the Chromecast Ultra, or a Roku, or smart Blu-ray player. I still use my 10 year old Sony PS3 for heavy streaming.
