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.

    For real I only bought this to stream hbo max and peacock to my Roku tv. Love my Roku tv and it works great but those small selection of apps it doesn’t have this is a good option to be able to watch them.

    I purchased this chromecast player as a way to access a variety of media that I consume and I had a limited budget. I've been very impressed with the product, it's quality and the programing access that it provides.

    As usual the Google Chromecast is great. I have bought 4 for each of the televisions in my household and they all work wonderfully. Connection is seamless and as usual Bestbuy price matches which is a win win for me. Two thumbs up!

    Better than the original version with more features. The setup took a little longer than I thought it should but once connected, I was good to go. Now my guests can stream their preferences in another room while I enjoy my shows.

    I don't know how the Google Chromecast compares to other streaming devices but I'm very happy with mine. This inexpensive device provides a quality high definition resolution. I love it and have them in all my television sets.

    Best thing ever invented. I use this to cast my Netflix, Redbox, and Hulu from an app on my phone to my tv. I have one for each tv in my house. The only issue I've come across is that sometimes they need to be rebooted. They lose the internet connection and need to be rebooted to find it. This happens maybe once a week.

    I’m using this item on a good tv that is not a smart tv in the basement. It is not used very often and this adapter works really well for casting from my IPad!

    I have an older Smart Samsung that wouldn’t screen share. This was the best $20 I’ve ever spent to fix my situation. I now watch just about all my streaming on there.

    I use my Chromecast every day. I absolutely love it, it’s great for connecting my Spotify, what I’m viewing on my laptop, and all the usual uses for Netflix/Hulu. I’ve definitely gotten great use out of it!

    Purchased to stream webinars from my work laptop. When Chrome is running, it just works. So far, it has been very reliable, in fact, more reliable than the Miracast app built into the TV.

    I don't watch TV much, but with this one I can watch Netflix, Amazone Video, YouTube. That's enough for me. This is the 3rd one I bought for me to use with my Tvs which don't connect to internet.

    Did not like that everything had to be streamed from my device. Prefer roku much better because Netflix, hulu and more is available on the device which gives your household access to movies if your phone or tablet is not available

    Love this little device. The reason why it dropped a star is because for some reason, whenever I stream Disney+, whether it be from my phone or tablet, the audio skips every few seconds for the entire movie. I'm not sure if this is a Google issue or a Disney issue. Casts fine with all other apps!
