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).

    Works well most of the time but sometimes will drop connection and not reconnect to the device. Also, if you are just on the edge of wifi range it is useless. With a solid wifi signal it works pretty well and makes it easy to share pictures and videos with family and friends.

    Installed very easily, but not as feature rich as I thought it would be. Expected it to have more functionality to download apps and stream, but it works strictly as a streaming receiver to send video/audio from my phone or laptop. Managing streams from YouTube can be a little rough.

    We have a slightly older flat screen TV at our shop that isn't a smart TV. This allowed us to CAST pictures of our work up on to a large screen from cell phones, tablets and the computers. My kids also enjoy the capability of now accessing Netflix too.

    Chromecast continues to get better and better! The only reason I would not recommend this streaming device at this point is because there is a much better version, at the exact same price as this one when it came out.

    Great product especially if you don’t have a smart TV with Netflix and such built in, or just want to listen to music but don’t have a Bluetooth speaker, you can connect YouTube and play it through the tv.

    Chromecast works to stream the content from whatever device that can download google "Home" app or that uses Google browser. Straight forward to setup. Got this for my brother for Christmas so that he could stream content to his TV easier. No complaints.

    This has been a lifesaver since my TV is not a smart Tv and isn't compatible to screen mirror with any devices. This chrome cast enables screen mirroring by connecting it to your wifi and plugging it into one of the Tv's HDMI port.

    Awesome device and cheaper than a roku. Use it all the time to stream from ocmputer chrome browser or sling/Netflix to my TV. No issues after using it for over 4 months. Great build quality overall . Heats up a little, but no issues

    I've bought every Chromecast device Google has released and they get better with each update. Spend the extra money and future proof of you don't have 4K and get the Ultra, but this is still great for HD only and kids. I like the version prior to this one more but this one seems to connect faster and holds a connection farther.

    We replaced our amazon firestick with the google chromecast. Not sure if I like it better. I don’t like that it doesn’t come with a remote control so everything has to be casted from our phones. It is better if you have the google hub to make casting easier.

    Great quality sound and video. It just takes a little while to get used to using your cell phone or tablet to cast a program to the Chromecast instead of using a separate remote control.
