    Easy setup with my home TV and with TV usb port no need for separate included power supply. Tried setting up on a friend's TV and all I got was a blank screen even though the unit showed on my iPhone. Major drawback: the chrome browser will not work currently with chromecast on an iPhone so no web surfing yet.

    Google Chrome is one of my favorite purchases EVER! It's easy to connect and to use. I love watching my favorite Netflix shows on the TV instead of being tied to the computer or iPad.

    I now have one for every TV in the house. Chromecast offers so many options, I can't live without it. And for the price, you can have one in every room too! Get a Chromecast... NOW.

    I wish there were more things to watch on my TV for free with this. Works well for cbs.com where most of the shows I love but can't get on antennae

    I bought it to satisfy my curiosity. Nice piece of hardware; compact, well made and functional. The only problem encountered was initially logging in to home network - it took several tries and then it needed to update device software. That took a few minutes but it was an easy process. No problems since. It works better with network than the computer previously hooked up as a home theater and so much smaller and more convenient. Money well spent.

    Perfect for those who are tired of watching videos on their tiny phone screen. Connect this little device to your tv and watch hours of Netflix while binging on popcorn, or gold fish.

    If you are looking to be a full-time cord-cutter, this may not be what you're looking for. If you're looking for a way to throw an occasional youtube video or netflix video onto your big screen for an impressively reasonable price, then this is for you.

    Streaming at its best! A few glitches here and there with delayed playback but nothing too serious. Definitely recommend to those looking for an inexpensive online streaming software

    This product is great but I wished there were more capabilities in the function of the casting. Makes it difficult to screen non-Google app videos.

    Sold off all of my other media devices and replace them with this little wonder. I purchased 1 last year and never looked back. I have one in every room plus an extra for traveling. Love the fact I can use my smart phone, tablet, or even my computer to cast to any room in the house. The topper is I can even take it on vacation connect it to my hot spot and stream my videos from my Synology NAS anywhere in the world. Awesome just awesome!!!

    The salesman explained it to me, I bought it at what I thought was a good price, got it home, installed it in 10 minutes. It works as it says it will and what else could you ask for?

    For $35 you really can't beat the product. It can mirror the computer with some minor delay and you can stream video directly from the computer. Easy to set up. Occasionally will lose connection during streaming.

    This is a good product, however I use it to cast from my Google Chrome. This is yet a beta feature so the live streaming from Chrome is not smooth.

    This is great, for the first time I can have the data from the internet on my PC on the big screen TV. But, the music and sound stream are out of sync with the video and is choppy. I have a game site that uses the 3D Unity Viewer and it is not supported by the Chromecast. The biggest disappointment is that Chromecast is not designed for receiving internet from your cell phone Hot Spot that feeds your Laptop. So I have to go out to use Chromecast elsewhere.

    It works good for sending youtube videos, and however it does seem to drop signal at times when streaming from google chrome on my home computer.
