    I have been using for a month now and have really been liking the convenience. I wish more sites were castable is my only complaint.

    We use this on a smart TV so it's really just used for minor mirroring but it works fine and is great if you don't have any TV apps

    Great price. Love using it for Netflix and Pandora. Also stream local videos using real player cloud which works well. Tab streaming is terribly choppy no matter what I do and my router should be sufficient. Limited selection of apps but that should be getting better now that the SDK has been released

    Easy to setup takes only 5 min, Can control using multiple devices smartphone, PC, tablet on multiple platforms. Chromecast doesn't consume battery on my smartphone, it has no additional service fee or subscription fees other than services that you choose to pay for such as Netflix or Hulu. I'm very excited about the future possibilities of this product.

    I purchased 2 of these to turn our older, but very nice "dumb TV's" into "smart TVs." They are easily installed and setup is a cinch.

    Great device, easy to set up & use. Can see closed caption using it whereas cannot w/ TVs built in apps. Only minor gripe is that TV stays locked on to this device's input even after show end and I tell device to stop broadcasting, so I must use TV remote to select original input again to watch cable.

    Chromecast works great. It's a good, inexpensive alternative to Apple TV or buying a Smart TV. My only complaint is that I wished it would play my music from my computer through the TV but it only plays anything viewable on the internet (through Chrome). So Pandora works but not my music library.

    The chromecast is great! Simple set up and easy to use. The only current downfall is the ability of streaming. You can only stream from a few apps on your Android phone. Google has said that they are working on things to be able to stream local content from your phone, instead of having to use a specific app. When that day comes, this will be 100% awesome.
