Customer Ratings & Reviews

With a Wi-Fi signal it functions great. It makes watching tv on the go fun. You can take it anywhere and just plug it in.

This is my go to method for streaming Netflix to my non smart TV, before Chromecast I would have to use my blueray player and it wasn't as convenient.

There are especially nice for Kids. My son has one in his room and I get excellent control of what he watches.

I like it it's the best GPU I've ever owned. It ain't top of the line but hey.

I love my chromecast. It is really handy and cheap. There isn't much of a lag time at all. Only wish Dishnetwork would work on here. I just can't wait.

Works great I had an mhl adapter it didn't work signal was bad, so I bought chromecast and have not had a problem at all!

So much better than I thought it would be. I can watch twitch streams and youtube videos on my tv now. Now I just hope it lasts for a good long while.

good ideal for this unit, simple and easy to set up. plays most everything from laptop and tablet and phone. setup and playing video from u tube and pay service like netflix or google store is super and easy...playing your personal video and movie is tricky. I would not buy this unit if you want to watch movie via your units. but, buy this unit if you like to watch U tube on the big screen.

I thought the product was o.k. I expected a better product from Google. I didn't like to use my battery on my smart phone to stream. Interface was okay and connecting it was really easy. I ended up returning it and buying the Amazon Fire stick which is on backorder, I saw plenty of Chrome sticks on the self. should've known.

Love this item my kids are able to watch Netflix on the tv. Sometimes it's hard to use when you have several in the house

We have enjoyed our google chromecast and are able to view things that we have on our cell phones onto our big screen tv.

If you have wondered about this device, now is the time to act. With the latest app that allows you to mirror what is on your screen/ cell phone to the tv. Everything! Videos, personally shot with your phone, you are not limited to You Tube videos or Hulu. My grandson is 4, he uses my cell phone to stream Mother Goose Club videos to the chromecast....That alone is worth the 35 bucks.Lol

for small $$, it has the promise of doing amazing things. What I want to do, i can't get there from here. I wanted to stream music stored locally to stereo, application doesn't exist yet. what available support there is for music is pulling from the "cloud" or internet. works great for youtube and pretty much anything off a website.

I cut my cable, so I am always on the look out for a device that will allow me to watch programming that I can't get on my google tv and my roku box. This device is cheep and works great for all the things my google tv and roku box does. So why did I buy it? The ability to 'cast' any tab from a computer to the television. Anyone looking to cut the cable should know that ABC, NBC, ECT. do not usually allow computer internet browser functionality on the major set top boxes. While you can catch the latest episode of How I Met Your Mother on the CBS website using your computer a day after it airs, the same is not the case for most streaming boxes (probably all?). You can, however, 'cast' the video tab playing on the ABC website to your chromecast. Before you run off and buy one, please remember this feature is in BETA and it does not seem to work very well at all. I tried it on my laptop, the video when casting youtube was awesome, perfect really. When I tried the ABC player, the frame rate dropped to about 4-6 fps (sound was clear though). This was not going to work, so I went to do some research. According to DSL reports (.com) when you use the beta cast function to cast any tab, it has to offload many functions to the computer and my laptop was not powerful enough to handle the encoding. (AMD 2.4ghz, 4gb ram, win 7 64 bit, not sure video card). No problem, a bit of a pain but I can cast from the beast upstairs (I5, hd7850, 8g ram, runs skyrim on 1440p 27in monitor maxed out). This works much better, but there is still some sync problems with audio and frame freeze. In the end I would not recommend this to someone who has access to the services served up by chromecast apps (Netflix, youtube come to mind, not sure of full list) through some other means. If for some reason you are still using the dvd mail part of netflix because you didn't have a way to stream to the TV, pick this up. If, on the other hand, you want to beat the networks so you can stream their 12 minutes of forced commercials to your TV instead of watching at the computer desk, I would not recommend. You can pick up a nice HDMI cable and plug it into your laptop next to your tv (which is what I did after I got fed up with the chromecast). Bottom line is that I can't figure out why people love these things so much, haven't they heard of every dvd, blu-ray, game console, some audio receivers, and pretty much anything that hooks up to the TV these days for streaming netflix? Also there is a rumor that google TV will get cast some time soon. Not sure, but if you are looking for streaming I would seriously consider the visio costar over this, the remote is a bit clunky, but how much more clunky do you get than running up stairs to start the program, and run back down so you dont miss much of the intro (the only place the networks dont put commercials:). -Willie-B

I definitely don't have any real complaints about my new chromecast. It's easy to set up and hadn't given me any problems

Linked to my Laptop. Did not know the chromecast needed a power source, but that wasn't an issue. Also did not know had to use google chrome browser to run (cast ) from, also not an issue. Very good product and usability. Very good Picture on 55in TV. I can see using this product very much in the future !

I purchased this tool to give me flexibility to be able to view Netflix and Hulu on a small flat screen. Great choice.

This was a very inexpensive investment for a really great return. It gives my TV a much greater functionality for much less than other similar products.

It is the best streaming device and goes hand in hand with several of the apps that support chromecast and the android lollipop os for screen casting.

Great for viewing movies and videos but limited access to some apps from in iPhone
