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.

    This has added great flexibility for us, allowing any family member to cast video from their phones. Since TIVO can't do Disney+ or a couple of the other minor streaming services, this has been a great way to add diversity to our video lineups

    I previously owned a 1st Gen Chromecast, and wanted to add a new one for a different TV. I can definitely say they have greatly improved usability and functionality. Was super simple to setup and begin using right away.

    If you are updating your home to a smart home i would highly recommend you upgrade your TVs by purchasing this device. With google/nest devises you are able to seamlessly cast video feed and stream any video or audio services you link with your google home.

    I own a first generation chrome cast and it works with only being powered by the USB which is great. This latest version needs to be plugged into a wall outlet as well which is more cord clutter. If it’s not plugged into the wall it’ll cut out of a movie randomly and reset.

    I bought this for my parents and they like it. I have noticed that it takes a while for it to load videos on HD, other than that it is a great product. If you have a smart tv you can turn it on and off with your voice if you have it connected to a google home device.

    The device works really well for casting from my Oculus Quest or from my computer when watching streaming services that aren't available otherwise on my smart TV. There's about a second delay, so it can't be used for HDMI-less gameplay, but for the purpose I bought it it works well. Bit pricey considering that's all I need it for though.

    Great item to have when you don't have a smart TV, also it works great with your Google Home by controlling what you are streaming with your voice. You can pause, play, etc. and show read the news from your phone on the big screen.

    Bought to use with a non-smart tv so I can project to the screen without having hdmi cable running across the floor from laptop to tv. This device is a lot cheaper than a new smart tv. It works well.
