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.

    The Google Chromecast is an absolute game changer. I picked this up for my parents for Christmas and they love it because it allows their "dumb" TV to become a "smart" TV! In unison with working Wi-Fi, you can cast almost anything from a smart device to your TV. Highly recommended.

    It doesn't always keep a connection to my phone, my daughter mostly uses it to sleep at night, she watches disney Jr on her phone at night to put her to sleep, and it disconnects and I have to play with it for like 20 minutes to even get it to go back to casting. Very annoying.

      Hi NothingObscene,

      Thanks for bringing up this issue to our attention. We´re sorry to hear of the Wi-Fi disconnection with your Chromecast.

      Here are some steps that might help improve the Wi-Fi connection for your Chromecast:
      - We recommend to keep your Chromecast no further away than 15-20 feet from your router.
      - Your phone and Chromecast should also be on the same Wi-Fi network.
      - Decongesting your Wi-Fi network by removing some connected devices may help clear up the bandwidth. If congestion is the issue, you may need to contact your internet service provider for resolution.

      Lastly, you may perform a factory reset by following the steps below:
      - While the Chromecast is plugged into the TV, hold down the button on the side.
      - The LED will begin blinking orange.
      - When the LED light turns white, release the button and the Chromecast will begin the reboot sequence.

      If the disconnection keeps happening, then we may need to have a closer look at it. Please feel free to reach out to us for further assistance here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/contactflow madebygoogle

    This gadget is really cool. If you don't gave a smart TV then get this to broadcast from your phone to the TV. It works great except there does seem to be some buffering. I haven't check any troubleshooting ideas. That's next on my list. It really is a cool gadget.
