    Overall I really like the chromecast. It was really easy to set up, you pretty much just plug it in and follow the directions on the screen. The only thing I don't like about it, is that you can't watch amazon or play pandora. Other than that its a great product!

    This a pretty good "gadget'". For the price it was a no brainer because of getting $25 Google play credit. I like the roku much better though. The function I do like is you can cast your laptop or tablet screen which can he helpful if you do presentation. Don't like that you can't use it without wireless or internet.

    This device is very useful for screen casting. The only problem is it will get very hot after prolong use.

    For the price it's a good thing to get. It's better then paying a monthly fee for a Round through our cable provider. Only thing I didn't like is I have a movie app called movie tube purchased through Google Play store but does not run on the Google Chrome Cast.

    This is a must have for any home, especially if you want to cut the cord. It takes a couple of minutes to set up and instantly gives you access to all kinds of apps and content for your TV viewing pleasure. Everyone should have one of these!

    Got the Chromecast and was able to view content on my not-so-smart TV. It was easy to open the box and set it all up in less than 2 minutes and was viewing latest from Netflix quickly afterwards on our weekly family movie night before the popcorn was ready!

    I absolutely love chromecast. My husband and I bought it for both of our sets of parents for Christmas and even they (very not tech savvy baby boomers) find it easy to use. We just bought ours for our bedroom and are very happy with it as well.

    This product by Google is a great idea. I like streaming Netflix or youtube from my laptop to TV without having to an HDMI; however the lack of app compatibility on phones and tablets sucks. I hope that in the future more apps become compatible with this product.

    Purchased product to use with my bedroom T.V. The setup was very easy and google gives you everything you need to install. The dongle plugs to the back of your tv through an HDMI port. It also has to be plugged to either an outlet or your TV's USB port if your tv has one. After that you have to download the chromecast app for your phone or tablet or you can go on your computer and use the chrome browser pluggin to set up your chromecast. It's very simple and straight forward. You will need you wifi password to complete the setup. This is were I ran into a problem. I did the setup and at first it worked fine but after a while chromecast would forget my settings and I would have to do this all over again. Sometimes it would take a long time to get it to work. I found out from online forums that a lot people are having the same problems and it's because chromecast does not work well with 5ghz dual band routers. After two days I just gave up. When the product work it was ok but very limited and the chrome mirroring feature was very laggy. It's also not a stand alone box like Apple TV or roku box. You will need a smartphone or a tablet with either android or iOS to use it. Buy yourself a roku box instead.

    Nice convenience for watching YouTube Netflix and Pandora on your TV.. But you cannot browse the Internet using chromecast I browse YouTube videos on my iPad then when I make a decision I will broadcast you to my TVs using Chromecast. 35 bucks, it's a good buy.
