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.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    I have an older TV (Without smartcast or Roku). I can stream both Netflix & Prime, however the Prime Video streaming built into the TV seriously sucks. The Chromecast device allows me to use the frequently updated Prime Video apps and cast it to my TV. While my internet downlink is about 1K times slower, it allows me to download the videos to my device, then cast the video to my TV thereby eliminating the loading message. So far the device works flawlessly.

    This product is great to cast from a phone, iPad or laptop to a TV. Turning any tv with an HDMI port into a monitor for presentations, showing other people websites, training, etc Downside- this will not work on most hotel WiFi’s.

    Chromecast is a magic. Even a person with basic knowledge should be able to configure and use it! Turns any normal tv with HDMI input to a smart TV!

    My son wanted this for his home . It works as he needed it to and he has no interest in cable TV bills and a million channels. Just what he needs on his budget.

    Love this device- very good for casting things that aren’t included on smart TV’s or to basically turn your average TV in to a smart TV. Very inexpensive for its purpose.

    Simple plug and play use. Item is small enough to take with you anywhere. Simply plug it into your hdmi slot and wala, it's ready for use.

    I have owned all of the chromecast models that have been released. Compared with the last model there is no major refresh or update, just an improvement in speed and interface. This was purchased to join the other chromecasts I have, and this is the fastest of them all with the most reliable connection. I really dig it.

    My aging smart tv has been having a lot of streaming issues lately but adding this Google Chromecast to it has made me feel like I have a new tv!! So fast and very responsive! This was an amazing upgrade for my 6 year old tv! It added some casting and home networking features that my tv did not have as well as updated versions of apps that my tv no longer was able to provide such as Hulu Tv. For less than 30 dollars you cannot beat the value of this product!

    We bought this one for my mother-in-law's TV as we already have one in each of ours. Easy to setup, easy to work, and compatible with so many apps, Chromecast is worth it.

    Drive truck otr, couldn't get my phone to cast to 32" Vizio I had just purchased. Tried HDMI to phone no dice, reviews for Verizon hot spots were mostly negative, and they (hot spot) with adding yet another line to my phone bill, was looking pricey. But I was committed to spending whatever at that point. Associate at Best Buy told me he used this for an extra tv he had in his house, I was skeptical. But again, willing to try. He was spot on, been watching whatever I want to since.... and it was only $30. :)

    This is the third chromecast I have purchased. I used them initially within my personal home, so that I could play videos/tv/music over the tv in my rec room, but quickly started implementing them in the AirBNB's I operate. Since so many people already have their own streaming accounts, this allows guests to play all their own content seamlessly without having to worry about logging in/out of their accounts.
