    This product is great overall, the visual quality is great, although it took me sometime to figure out the wifi connection. The only thing is it doesn't recognize a public wifi.

    I am now able to view, on my T.V., programs I was previously unable to see. I have recommended others to purchase the item and am aware of at least one person who has taken advantage of my recommendation. Thanks a lot..

    The compact size is a plus and almost plug and play makes ease of use good. Makes apps easy to accesss.

    Wonderful asset to tv show, movie, and football viewing. I do not own a smart tv or have a full cable package, therefore Chromecast has allowed me to broadcast a wide variety of shows and entertainment on the big screen.

    I am very pleased with my Google Chromecast. Now I do not have to worry about getting out my HDMI cord if I want to watch Netflix. All I have to do is go to my Netflix app and it will come up on my tv screen. The only issue I ever had was I went to stream Netflix once and it was not registering with the chromecast. I just had a blank screen. The next day it worked fine and I have not had any other problems with it. I highly recommend it!

    I works great due to the fact that it is wireless. It was somewhat difficult to set up on my WiFi, It works great on my laptop, my phone and my iPad but it doesn't work with the Surface, but I think that that is because of the fact that windows doesn't have an app for chrome. Now I have mostly used it on Netflix and a little bit on YouTube with no issue, except for sometimes it seems slow when switching from different apps, like going from Netflix to YouTube and vise versa. Overall it does exactly what the box says.

    We got this for the second TV, for being able to put stuff up on the big screen. Pretty cool. Once I figured out how to actually get the program on my tablet, all is well. Fun toy!

    The HDMI of the plug is poorly designed. It bends to easily. I know a friend who has had to buy a new one because of the way it bent out of the casing. Just be careful with it.

    I love this little guy so much. For only $35, you get to turn any tv into a smart tv and gain the ability to play youtube videos or Netflix movies or mirror your phone. You can use it with a phone (iPhone or Android), tablet, or laptop. Just make sure your wifi is up to date to handle streaming otherwise your network will be slowed down. Its a great gift for anyone.

    Good product,. Smart phone proficiency needed, so people who are not may be happier with similar product that has a remote. Won't find that near the price these are going for..

    Chromecast is amazing, got one for my wife and me, one for her cousin and his girlfriend. I use it to party stream YouTube clips, or to stream Netflix/HBO GO/MLB TV when my Xbox craps out. Streaming quality is amazing.

    I love my new ChromeCast, but have found that it tends to run incredibly slowly when casting from my wife's Asus Prime. I've had better luck with casting from Chrome on my laptop.

    This device just works! Plug it into an available hdmi port, connect the power cable or connect through the USB port (on some TVs) and follow the instructions to connect it to your home wireless network. Then you can begin streaming videos from YouTube and movies from Netflix right to your TV using your smartphone or tablet. Since my main TV is not a smart TV, this was the next best thing to make my TV "smart."

    Besides the fact that most of the tv apps need to get some sort of cable/subscription service, some other apps come in pretty handy to watch tv, movies or play games or music.

    I wanted to see my phone on the tv and the HDMI adaptor from samsung does not work with the S6 Edge. I saw that Chromecast would display your phone on tv. I tried it out and it worked great. Very happy with this.
