Not compatible with many
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is not compatible with many other than YouTube, Netflix and Hulu. Also, it is buffering a lot when it is played from google chrome, even after reducing the streaming quality. I am very much upset with the product. Apple TV is far better even though little bit expensive.

Great Buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked perfect right out of the box. Easy to set up and use. Wish I had more Apps on my phone that would use this device.

Good for the money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price it's a good start. It's a bit slow and drops wifi signals randomly. It can be easily hidden behind a TV. Netflix takes a while to start and using the phone apps can take a while. Given updates are coming this product has a lot of potential and for the price hard to beat.

It's 35 dollars

Nice for picture and screen cast
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Out of the box, it is easy to set up. Hulu casts well from devices but not some movie apps I've tried. Easy to travel and use in hotels and condos. The tutorial pages were helpful too. The price is about the same everywhere, but I used a 5 dollar Best Buy credit to lower price.

Cool idea
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this so i wouldnt have to connect my laptop via HDMI cable to my tv. We are an internet only house and stream alot of movies. So far the product works as expected. There have been some lagging from the laptop to the tv, but so far nothing that makes me want to throw it out.

Works good so far.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have had only slight "download" delays but that's not likely related to the product itself.

It was ok
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own mostly apple products. This was cheap and purchased for a spare room. It worked with the apple products but was very limited. I'd definitely recommend if you have an android phone, but ended up returning it and going with an apple tv and moving that roku to the spare room.

Great to stream Netflix, pandora, and YouTube
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Chromecast is one of the best pieces of technology I've never owned. It's extremely easy to set up and requires no control. You control it with your smartphone, how cool is that? This little object plugs in to the HDMI port behind your tv and you can begin streaming almost instantly. Netflix, pandora, YouTube and others. Super fast!

Streaming Choices
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Although I have a Smart TV, there are times the connection are not great. Having a Google Chromecast is a great back up for my streaming purposes like watching Netflix, Hulu, You Tube and more. A great addition to have, regardless of having a Smart TV, which is not always "Smart".

Good concept but doesn't work on older TVs!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Seemed like a great streaming option, but unfortunately I have an older TV and don't have an HDMI port. Tried using a converter which gave me video but no audio! Overall the app was super easy to install and use...only thing missing was the audio! Had to return, but would have otherwise kept it if my TV was equipped with the proper port.

Great device at an affordable price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Chromecast is a nifty little device. It took only a few minutes to attach, download the software and set up (some newer devices with Google OS come with the software pre-installed). It works on your home wifi network. Several on-line services (Netflix, Youtube for example) have a Chromecast button which easily sends the broadcast to your TV. If not, the button resides at the top of your screen and you simply click it to send any on-line content to your TV. It does need to hook into an available HDMI port on your TV. I had to connect multi-port HDMI adapter since I only had two on my TV and both were in use. Once set up you can easily move the device from one TV to another (from living room to bedroom for example) as long as that TV has an available HDMI port and is within the wifi network. The image is sharp (though dependent on your Internet speed) and sound is clear. Nice device.

Great product, nice price.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product for the price. Easy set up. What I love about it is the phone interface where you don't need a computer. If you connect, you can still use your phone, even to watch something else, I mean you're different shows, one of the Chromecast and the phone or computer. Love it

Great for watching Movies
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Received item as a gift. Initial setup not as easy as outlined due to incompatibility with Apple wifi routers; however, not too difficult to resolve issue myself as I am tech savvy. Unfortunately, my family is predominantly users of Apple products, therefore desired usage is not seamless. Will primarily use for watching movies in bedroom.
