Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the Chromecast's ease of use, streaming capabilities, and picture quality. Many appreciate its affordability and the ability to transform a standard TV into a smart TV. However, some users experienced connectivity issues, and the lack of a physical remote control was a common point of feedback. The small size and generally positive performance were also frequently noted.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Mainly got this so I can cast my VR headset to the TV. Works great and easy to set up. Lots of option for streaming as well. Would recommend if you use a lot of apps that casts straight to it.

    The Chromecast is quick and easy way to stream from your phone to your TV. The unit plugs right and the google software takes only a few minutes to setup. I have an older version in another room and it hasn't given me any troubles in the 4 years I've had it.

    Got this to stream my Oculus so others can watch as we take turns playing. A lot of great other features as well and I can attach this to the rest of my Google home products.

    So great. I can stream movies from my computer to my tv. no more pulling out the HDMI cable to connect to the tv. which then I can still use my laptop or even my phone while watching a movie or youtube on the big screen.

    Bought this to connect to my TV so that my Google Home Hub and Google mini can work with it. It works as expected and I have not had any issues. Recommend if wanting to connect devices to your existing Google set up.

    This little streaming video gadget is the best! Allows me to show anything from my phone on the TV screen for an elderly parents to see. Easy program to install and use, easy device, just needs a HDMI port to plug in.

    Its easy to use but you need to play around with the app for the set up. Mine failed to connect several times but finally found "the device". After that it bullet proof.

    Overall great item! Only a little sad that I didn't realize until we purchased it that you can only scroll on your phone/tablet to look for things to watch when you are browsing vs like on the firestick/roku the menu is on the screen so if you are watching with someone else makes it a little harder to look together and also only certain streaming apps will let you voice command through google home (which i dont use that often to begin with) but if you were purchasing solely for the more hands free approach then sadly that wont be here but otherwise we love it and the ease of use and the ability to be able to take on vacation and what not as well.

    Great for watching online content on a TV screen

    I've had a second generation Chromecast for years and use it regularly. I was on a business trip, had some time in my room, and wanted to was a series on Netflix. I ran out to Best Buy to pick up a Chromecast, plugged it in to the back of my hotel TV, set it up with the Google Home app, and within 5 minutes of arriving in my hotel room was watching content from my smartphone on the big TV screen in my hotel. The third generation Chromecast looks and works about the same as my older second generation Chromecast, which is what I expected. For the price ($35 regular retail), having one of these handy is a total no brainer. I'm very pleased with the functionality and quality, especially given the low cost

    It's everything you would expect from Google Chromecast, especially good for mirroring your phone (Android at least, I have no idea how it does in the Appleverse). Dependent on WiFi, as usual, so performance can be affected. Setup is pretty easy and it meets my needs.

    Works as advertised. Purchased to make an older tv a smart tv. Integrates well with google home, as expected. Setup was really easy. Wish it could turn on all my devices (tv, surround sound, etc.) But that's an issue with the age of the devices not the chromecast as it can on my other tv system.

    Had a hiccup, but worked great

    The hardware side of things was really easy to setup. Got it out of box, plugged the microUSB into the Chromecast and then the TV, and then the HDMI went straight in. Boom, done. However, the software side of things was a little slow. It wasn't connecting with my app at first, so I had to replug the Chromecast in, and then it wasn't working again, so I just installed the Google Home app on my iPad instead of using it on my phone (Android) and it finally worked. I doubt it had anything to do with the operating system of the device I was using, but if anybody has a problem setting up, maybe just try re-installing the Google Home app or using it on a different device.

    We are new to smart hubs. We purchased a Google home and paired it with the smart plug first. Now that I figured it out, it works flawlessly. I just tell it to turn tv on and it goes straight to my show.

    Quick and easy set up. Your phone communicates with the Chromecast which then streams your chosen content on your TV. Wish it came with a physical remote control. Great device for the price.

    The new chromecast is easy to setup and the picture quality is great. I use them to stream Netflix and Youtube at home and also use them at work to cast digital signs. Will be buying additional ones as needed.
