Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you do not have a Smart TV, this will make it so. It is absolutely fantastic and works as advertised. My only complaint has nothing to do with the hardware or software. Rather, the documentation is lacking in detail. I found it very difficult to connect the ChromeCast to my WiFi router. The printed documentation and the instructions on the ChromeCast web site gave detailed directions for connecting the unit to my phone, but no information on connecting it to WiFi. HINT: When you get your ChromeCast plugged in, connect your phone to it as if it were a WiFi hot spot. That allowed me to connect it to my router. Once it was connected to my router, connecting through the router to my phone, tablet, laptop, ChromeBook, etc. was simple and easy.

It's great. It's awesome. But only if you use pandora, netflix, or hulu plus. The youtube and other apps are neat but I dont find myself using them except for when I have people over. And it IS a bit buggy but nothing that reconnecting your device to it wont fix. That aside, it IS great for streaming, its great for youtube. I bought 2 and my parents liked it and got one for themselves. Super easy setup. Super easy to use. Definitely a must have for netflix or hulu plus users. A big bonus for pandora and youtube users.

The Chromecast is an excellent streaming player. It is easy to setup and use. I especially like the ability to project my entire screen to my television. I especially liked the small profile and the ability to associate it with other homes' wireless networks. I visited my in-laws who do not have Netflix, Hulu, etc. I associated my Chromecast with their network and was able to cast "Frozen" from my laptop to their TV keeping my kids happy.

I'm really happy with this thing. Since I do not have a smart TV, I can now use the chromecast to watch YouTube and Netflix on my TV. The best part is that I can control it using my phone, my tablet, and my computer

I had Netflix downloaded on my IPad and wanted to watch some of my favorite shows on TV. I purchased Chromecast and it was so easy to set up and I can now view some of my favorites on a large screen. Really like it!

Gave to my neice and her family for Christmas. They got it installed easily. The kids are watching music videos and playing games. Will be doing Netflix. Glad I was able to turn their plasma into a smart tv. For $31.00.

I bought this as a gift for Christmas - it was specifically requested. Price was right and I haven't heard that there are any problems with it. Appears to be a nice product!

This is a great device that almost anyone can setup and use. It streams most things, and very well at that, but I really hope they add support for local .avi files soon.

I heard about this at work and thought it was too good to be true. The bedroom doesn't have any type of player/system that would allow me to watch my Netflix without plopping my laptop on my lap. This saves me the time and money by simply using my tablet (and local network) to make it all happen. Had absolutely no lag or skipping and definitely worth the price. Still waiting for more apps to be compatible, but definitely worth the wait for now.

Doesnt always work and can be hard to set up. Don't like how it restricts usage to certain apps, and doesnt have the ability (or at least I dont know how to) mirror my desktop

I love it! My family loves it. I like that we can change the channels from our iPhones and even control the volume. Easy to understand the setup. Did I mention our pockets love it too....done with the cable cord.

I love the ability Chromecast gives us to watch Netflix and other streaming on any tv in the house! It plus in easily and isn't hard to set up - my 13 year old was able to do it!

I bought this chromecast during Christmas for Christmas gift, it was a perfect Christmas gift for my dad. It is easy to connect and no wire needed from my dad's laptop and his TV.

The google chromecast player was very easy to set up and the kids were off and running in no time ! It's a wonderful alternative to having two or three "other" pieces of equipment for movies, games and entertainment !

I bought this for the office I work in to give us more connectivity options for our conference room screen. At $35 it's a great value. However, given that it wants to connect via Chrome or via enabled Android/iOS apps, and given some hassle I had getting it on our corporate network (not an issue at home), I'd probably recommend something else - Apple TV, Microsoft's Miracast stick, etc. - if you can afford to pay another $50 or so.

I love the chromecast. We used to rent movies from redbox but now watch all movies through Netflix with the chromecast. We've also discovered you tube on a large screen television. It's great. We use it all the time.

I liked the item very much and works like it should. We use it to stream Netflix to our TV. We have enjoyed the way the chrom was to connect to the TV and then connect to Netflix

This is a very reasonably priced streaming device. All smartphones and tablets in the house stream to it easily. My primary use is sending media from my phone and Netflix. Netflix is nearly flawless. The Google playstore offers several apps that connect well with it. For $35, very satisfied. If anything, it does get pretty warm - which I assume is within design specs but does cause me to unplug it from time to time to give it a "break".

This is GREAT! My kids are on it all the time, so I have little opportunity to use it. Streams video and audio from phone or tablet or laptop to the TV without a wired connection - and then it keeps working even if you take a call, visit a website or take a text! A remarkable piece of technology for the price! I am sure over time others will come out with similar easy to use devices that work on a broader range of operating systems, but for now this is the unchallenged king of the hill - and for only $35.... WOW!

This item was easy to set up and get going. Purchased to present power points on monitor. Have not tried to stream a movie yet but have done you tube videos and has worked fine.
