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.

    Very cool device that brings a lot of connectivity to your TV with an HDMI port. I use it to wirelessly stream website video to my Samsung TV. It is also great for business purposes like presentations or general screen sharing.

    I have purchased a total of 6 chromecast and chromecast audios to upgrade 3 TV's, two Bose Sounddocks and one old 70' s receiver. They work great as grouped speakers for audio and for steaming. My only problem has been slide shows of photos as photos are flipped. This could be the apps used but the this should have been better.

    So as long as you have a good WiFi connection, product works great. I can show students what I am doing on my laptop, and they view it on the tv. TV picture is brighter than a projected image. But you do need a good wifi connection.

    Made our regular old Insignia 55" TV a smart TV. Casting is great; the 1080p display is better and refreshes faster than the 1st Gen version (which we have now installed in a 32" in the garage)

    All of my TV's, soundbars, and speakers throughout house run on chromecast for syncing convenience. Use with audio extractor or rca converter to add wireless functionality to my personally built speakers.

    I bought this to replace a first generation chromecast that seemed to constantly have buffering issues and this one is much better. The issues with buffering went away so now I can watch what I cast without the random buffering messages.

    Seamless integration with google products. I buy these all the time as gifts for people. Most dont know you can mirror your phone/chrome screen to the chromecast, which really broadens the use cases.

    It does what it's supposed to however for those who bought with the idea of portability as frequent traveler, just be aware that you wont be able to bypass the Hotel's wifi Authentication process. I unfortunately had to use my hotspot to be able to mirror things into it. No big deal, but still sucks.

    I had been looking to get the cable to stream from my computer to my TV. A Best Buy employee (Teresa) showed me the Google - Chromecast & explained that this would work wirelessly. Wonderful! I was worried about tripping over wires.

    Does what it needs to and allows my phone/tablet to be the alternative to a smart TV purchase. You do introduce the variable of your WIFI speed but this is not an issue if you have enough speed and signal strength available.
