    This is my second Chromecast in the house. Easy setup and user friendly. Wish it could stream Amazon Prime without using Chrome browser, but we love it.

    Bought for my son to make his bedroom TV able to show Netfix and Youtube. He uses his Ipod touch to control it. It did not work well with my laptop for trying to watch network TV website videos using google Chrome. Still better to just run a hdmi cable for smooth playback of video. But works great for main reason of purchase.

    I love being able to view my pictures and videos that I have saved on my computer on the living room tv. I have netflix on my computer but I did not have any way to stream them to the tv until now. The kids love baseball and they can pull up you tube videos of there favorite baseball plays to share with each other. I purchased this with the chromebook 14 and they work amazing together.

    So you got to get chrome cast for it to work. It only works with apps that are compatible with it. Which was fine for me because I only wanted it for Netflix and YouTube anyway. Initially it took about 40 minutes to get the hang of it, probably an hour to get used to figuring it out that I liked it then it broke. It actually broke within the week Luckily I had a good set of tweezers to get the chrome piece off of my TV or it would've totally ruined my TV as well. You're better off getting the RCA box which is the same exact price comes with a remote control and you don't even have to get any extra apps it's pretty much idiot proof or spend a little more and get AppleTV sometimes on sale for $70.

    I bought this to stream HBOGO from my iphone, I had previously bought a Roku 3 for that purpose. However, my provider is comcast and they have blocked me using HBOGO on the Roku device. It works awesome when I stream from my iphone, I tries streaming from my laptop but it lags and is very annoying. Not sure what the problem is.

    If you are into seeing Youtube, Netflix, Hulu Plus, HBO Go or your Android Phone/Tablet in a bigger screen, this is the cheapest way to do it wirelessly.

    Very low risk for the price. This product is very easy to set up. Cannot match the number of apps that something that roku has yet but the list keeps expanding. For me they have the main ones like youtube, hulu, and Netflix. I am waiting for Amazon instant. For what you pay and the ease of install, I highly recommend this product.

    Purchased one awhile back when they were relatively new to the market. At that time I only had Netflix and Youtube as cast-able apps through my iPad. Since then, many apps have been added (as well as a chromecast app for iPad that easily facilitates setup on iOS). Had some glitches after a month of use (netflix would not cast) but after doing a simple reset of the device it has worked well.

    Also great for easy computer demonstrations (still in Beta but haven't had any problems mirroring a computer screen). Don't know how I lived without it.
