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).

    Great buy if you have an older tv or projector without any new applications like Hulu or Netflix. I would rate it 5 stars but sometimes there’s trouble connecting the device with the app. Occasionally you have to unplug and plug it back in to make it work. Other than that the video quality is great and connectivity options are helpful.

    Xfinity blocks all streaming to chromecast b from the Xfinity app and even the web based. Can't even even screen mirror. So completely annoying, but yet you can stream from a laptop or PC via hdmi cable. So disappointed about that. What's the difference?!

    I bought this so I could stream HBO Max on my Roku TV. It worked perfectly without issue. I also take this with me when I travel so I can watch online content on the go. Spot on for streaming content from my phone to other TVs

    Love the fact I can cast from my phone instead of screen mirroring. Video quality is exceptional and has less issues with buffering. Purchasing another one for my bedroom TV. Major drawback that only effects me at night. I am unable to use my Bluetooth headphones while laying in bed so I have to switch back to my firestick.

    This is my fourth chromecast - its a perfect supplement if you have a computer or a tablet. It allows me to share various content to my TV (tip - great for teaching kids). Best Buy delivered in a timely manner and no damages... overall a great buying experience.

    Chromecast is awesome to bring to hotels and wherever to play or cast music videos or movies onto the tv.s. I originally bought it because my flat screen wasnt a smart tv. Now i use it primarily for casting movies. Great product. Good value.

    ...but it does have a habit of losing connection to the phone that sets up the steaming. Since it continues the run though a playlist without the connection, it isn't a huge problem, but if you want to change something about the stream, then you often need to reconnect.

    The chrome cast works as expected! I Do feel the fire stick shape is more convenient but the chrome cast feels more durable and if you have weak WiFi signal you can extend the cable with a coupler or something else and place it in a better spot.
