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.

    Setup was easy enough. I already had the Google Home app because I have a Google Nest wifi which I really love. I have tried multiple apps to cast with and it works. The reason for the 2 stars is that after about 2.5 hours the casting becomes unstable at best. Being that a typical sporting event is 3-4 hours that can be a problem. I tested it with the NHL app, Paramount + and the Spectrum TV app all from my brand new iPad mini. Same results. I’ve had other users tell me they’ve experienced similar issues with a combination of different hardware. I suppose if you only want to cast an hour or two it’s great, otherwise I’d stay away. As far as just casting/mirroring your devices screen to it I only tested that long enough to see if/how it worked and I tested it with both the iPad and my Pixel phone. That seemed to be fine but it was only a several minute test.

      Hi Phillip, thank you for bringing this to our attention. We’re sorry that your Chormecast experience did not match your expectations. We recommend performing some troubleshooting steps to isolate the issue:

      - If you have a dual band router, try setting up your Chromecast on either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands and see which band is more stable. Make sure that the set up device is on the same network as the Chromecast.
      - We recommend that your Chromecast, wireless router, and device used to cast are all located in close proximity to one another. This will create the best possible casting experience.
      - If you haven't tried yet, you can factory reset your Chromecast. See the step by step guide here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/6254654

      If the issue persists, we may need to take a look at it and find the root cause, in order for us to improve your experience. You can reach out to our support team here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp madebygoogle
