    My daughter told me we should get this though i was skeptical i said i would. She got it set up for me and told me how to use it and i found it to be a very simple operation despite having to probably upgrade services for hulu and the like.

    When I first bought this I was skeptical being a iPhone user. After a couple of months I have come to use this at least 2 to 3 times a week to stream movies on my new android phone. This rocks I just wished I had more hdmi inputs on my tv.

    Great product. I wish it had more apps compared to the AppleTV. Streams a lot better from Chrome browser than AppleTV.

    I purchased this because I have a wall mounted TV in front of a treadmill and have no cable outlets in the room. Setup was easy and I can effortlessly stream media to my TV. The pictures and commercials can be a little deceiving so keep in mind that the unit has to have a power source plugged in. You can either plug it in to USB on your TV or it comes with an AC adapter for the wall.

    We have ditched cable and are really happy with the Chromecast so far. I wish it worked better with Chrome from a laptop (still in beta) but it works great from the Netflix app on our cell phones.

    It has one fairly notable fault, output resolution. It's not that big of a deal and I'm reasonably certain it'll get fixed but for now it tries to output to max resolution regardless of tv setting.

    The Google Chromcast simply plugs into your HDTV and is easy to set up and control. It's also an inexpensive alternative to other streaming products.

    Works really well cheapest way to get content to your tv the only drawback is that if you have a "smart" blu Ray player you won't need this as it has most of the same capabilities and plays blu Ray

    Turns your smart phone into a remote control. I mainly use it to stream Hulu and WatchESPN, works great. I've only had to reset it once so far.

    Chromecast came with a $20 Google Play card so the device practically paid for its self. I like the fact I can cast what is on my Android device or my computer . I'd recommend this product to my enemies if they are willing to speak to me.

    Easy to set up (for the most part) and use. Quality of picture when projecting to TV is "hit or miss", but this may have more to do with the quality of my Wi-Fi connection than the Chromecast unit.

    Well it's a great product, undoubtedly ! For only $35, it does pack quite a punch. But there are a few shortcomings, which I believe need immediate attention 1. The screen mirroring could not be used from my Galaxy S4. 2. There should be more convenient casting from laptops. Instead of just being able to cast a tab from chrome, it would be better if it can be used to connect the TV as an extended screen to the laptop. 3. The form factor could have been slightly smaller.
