I will recommend it to anyone who wants a great media player (good quality and great resolution). Since the price is right I bought one for each of my TV.

Advertised as easy to use, but not really true. Some router boxes don't work with it. I usually don't have any problem learning how to use new electronic equipment. We could not get this to work correctly. We found out it did not have the latest firmware. This basically means it had an old version of programming in it that wouldn't allow things like HULU to work. We could find no way to update the firmware online. We bought this fresh off the shelf brand new. If it had the latest firmware, it looks like the product would work well. It was able to mirror things from our computer to the TV well. If google fixes the problem, this looks to be a great product. We returned it and bought an Apple TV box.

It sometimes decides not to work when you want it to, leaving it basically useless with a lot of people on the network

Who needs a smart TV when u have this? I mean seriously, you have all the apps of a smart TV, plus extra features like mirroring your phone to your TV.

The Google Chromecast is great when there is nothing else to watch on TV. Just go to my Netflix account, choose one of my fav movies, sit back and enjoy!

Product works as advertised, the one problem that I have is that it must stay plug up. Still awesome other than that.

The only problem is the program that you use on the mobile devise. It often fails to start and needs to be restarted.

Waited anxiously to get the Chromecast. I travel periodically for business so I thought that I might be able to use it when I travel. However, I don't have Netflix or some of the other services that are currently enabled. Others such as Amazon prime are not yet enabled.
Once those go live, I would gladly raise my rating to 5 stars. Until then, only 3.
If you use Netflix or Google movies, go for it.

wish this was like a amazon fire stick or a roku, but nope the device has to be in the area to cast to the TV, and sorry im not leaving my iphone home so someone can watch a movie.
I think when i bought the item, i didnt understand fully how the device worked, but having to have a tablet or phone to cast the movie or whatever is dumb, just have the apps on the stick and be done with it.
