    Very handy tool to have when traveling (especially in hotels), but if you already own an Apple TV or a Roku, this isn't really necessary. Great value for the price, though.

    Can't beat the price for what you get - web connectivity for your "non smart TV". Easy to set up, and great video quality. Biggest drawbacks is that you only have a few apps that are compatible currently and you can't directly stream media/videos from your device - they need to be on youtube or something supported. Besides that, it's awesome and expect it to get better as more apps are supported. Absolutely can't beat the price!

    I have two of these devices. I like that its fairly simple to install and simple to use. I have one attached to my onkyo A/V receiver and one directly to the TV (with power from TV's USB port). It works like a charm. I installed Chromecast app on my Galaxy S3 and can directly beam from my phone to Chromecast from my phone. Then I can do whatever on my phone and still watch youtube or netflix or anything else. All in all, nice product. I like that I got 6 months free Netflix as I bought two Chromecast.

    I have to say this little device packs a huge punch! There is so much you can beam onto your TV straight from your phone or tablet with one touch of your screen. I am so happy I found this after I sold my Xbox.

    We were hesitant at first that the Chromecast HDMI would do what it said, but then we were pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. I highly recommend it.

    I bought this one for the bathroom tv. I love being able to watch utube, vudu, and net flicks over it. I had already purchased one for my bedroom tv. Any tv that isn't a "smart" tv should have one of these!!!

    My household uses netflix and hulu regularly. This device is perfect for that. It would make it much more valuable if it could do other apps, like Slingbox, or any other version of remote DVR access. The device really needs to add true mirroring from the mobile device for it to replace apple tv. This device is unbeatable for the price, but no one with an apple tv will replace their apple tv with this.

    I have 2 other name brand devices and spent a heck of a lot more for them then this unit. Technology for streaming far surpasses the others. Worth the 29-35 dollar price tag. If you buy it you won't regret it.

    A solid product that does what is says

    Does the job and does the job well. Just plug the dongle into your TV, connect it to a power source and install the app on your computer or mobile device (phone, tablet etc.). Enter the password of your local Wi-Fi network. Done. Your mobile device does not stream videos directly to your Chromecast. Instead, it just tells the device which video it should stream from the cloud. That means that you can use your phone for something else, or even turn it off, once the stream starts. Netflix streams very well, good picture, and sound. We have some other devises that stream videos to the TV, and often that are too dark and the sound does not always match-up. Not a problem with Chromecast, runs smoothly. the same goes for, YouTube, Google Play, and web content from Chrome browser. There are limited applications right now, but luckily, there are a number of apps in the works that will enable you to play local content without compromising on picture quality. Well worth the $35.
