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.

    If you can't to broadcast things straight from your phone or laptop without having to connect some crazy wires to your laptop get this. Make sure to have fast internet and good connect to have the best experience! It will only stream from certain entertainment companies though so make sure to check before you buy.

    We’re transitioning all older flat screen TVs in the house to be able to cast. With the Google Home app on our phones, we now all have control of volume and program selection, so this is a terrific upgrade in accessibility.

    All I wanted was to watch music videos in my garage or cast you tube from my laptop while in my garage. Easy setup to my wifi. Works from my phone or laptop. This was better than running a cable thru the walls of my house.

    We have several Chromecast units in house so use it quite a bit. It does seem that this version has improved wifi reception. The video quality seems to have improved as well. Not sure I would replace all of our existing units but will for primary tv's

    Very useful for throwing whatever I have on my PC or phone onto my TV for me or others to enjoy, NEEDS a decent wi-fi connection and internet to work properly, also noticed Chrome on a Mac seems to not play as nice with it than a Windows PC.

    We have moved to having a "Google" household. It so easy with our 2 little ones to just say hey google play this on this tv, or play this song, or call this person. It has been so helpful for us moving forward into parenthood.

    Bough this when I switched from an iPhone to android and wanted to stream my phone to TV. Works well, just a word of caution it does need it's own power supply which is included, I just thought based on advertising that it ran off power via hdmi
