    Perfect item if you don't have a Smart TV and good price. I heard another one comes with a remote which is cooler, but this does the job!

    I thought this product wouldn't connect with any of my apple products, turns out I was wrong. It's great for those with tablets that want to watch a show online but on tv.

    We have put one of these on every TV in the house and love it. Between streaming the usual cadre of Netflix, Hulu, and the like; being able to stream anything else is great!

    I really like my Chromecast device, but be advised that it needs a strong WiFi signal to work well. I attached it to a TV next to the room where my router sits. I was overjoyed streaming one of my favorites, but halfway through, it lost the signal and went into a circular process of not recognizing my WiFi and needing to be rebooted and frustrating me for over an hour. I transferred the dongle to my set that sits right next to my router and haven't had a problem since. The HD quality is flawless, but you'll need a reliable signal.

    With the Google Chromecast you can stream Netflix, Hulu, and more. I have had this streamer for a long time and it is still working just as great as it did when I bought it.

    I was going to get another product that is higher in price. But this is basically the same thing at a fraction of the cost and works exactly the same! It's a great product.

    Great product to stream media from my computer and phone. Actually returned my Roku for this device. Although, I admit that the Roku provides more from a choice standpoint.

    I bought this the evening that Google announced its release, and boy was I sure happy I did. Only 3 days later, every retailer was completely sold out and these things which are normally a huge bargain were selling for over $100 on eBay. While I really love this thing, that price is insane and you have that kind of cash, I'd recommend a more expansive streaming device like a Roku, Apple TV, or Google TV--depending on the platform you prefer. In a nutshell, the Chromecast is very similar to the other streaming devices I just mentioned, but with one exception, it's way cheaper. Albeit, Roku, Apple and Google TV offer much more providers, but they also come at a considerably higher price tag, and in reality, if you can open it in a Chrome tab on your computer, you can probably cast it on your television...and any television you have in the house that is. I really only have one big complaint about this product. I feel like the advertisements were really misleading. If you watch any commercial on the Chromecast, Google will have you thinking that all it is is a little dongle that you just pop into an available HDMI port and you're off. However, that's not entirely true. There's also a charger that needs to be plugged in, either into an available USB port right on your TV or into a Wall Adapter. While this isn't a huge deal, it's obvious that this extra "step" is an annoyance, which is clearly why Google left it out of their advertisements. Note: If you do have a much newer television that is equipped with HDMI 1.4 ports, you lucked out! Your HDMI ports should provide enough power to the dongle that the USB power isn't needed.
