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.

    despite what various articles including Lifehacker's say. If you're looking to use it camping, want to cast stored content to your TV without using cellular data/ WiFi internet or you don't even have that... this ain't your device. Buy a Roku Stick, those do that and they're cheaper. Unfortunately, we believed the articles and bought the device. Works fine if you give it an internet connection. No technical or legal reason you need the internet connection to cast stored content. So oversight or control issue on Google's part you decide, but they sure as heck like to track everything you do and that's the only reason I can come up with for insisting on the internet connection in this circumstance. Very disappointed, liked using a wired connection much better - simple for camping, cheap solution with few parts. Here we had to get a travel router, the Chromecast etc and need internet. *grumbling* oh and they do get hot, so don't attach it to the wall. Let it hang for air flow. The first one we got overheated even then and was glitching, dropped the cast repeatedly etc. Had to swap for a second which works fine, such as it is. Google should be able to design better hardware.

    It is a great device that allows my non-smart TV to function as a smart TV. It functions exactly as I expected it to, but the only wish I had for it was for it to turn off my TV. My TV turns off automatically when not in use but chromecast keeps the TV on when it's not in use until physically turned off.
