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.

    I bought this because I thought I could cast my computer to it. I could not due to the network in my office so I returned it. It did function exactly as advertised otherwise, just not what I needed.

    Got this chromecast for a tv that doesn't have Chromecast built-in and works flawlessly. Set-up was a bit confusing at first but manage to get it running in 10 minutes.

    Works very well and easy to install even for a man of old school who is 68 years. Now no need for the cables going across the living room. My wife hates cables running around. Beside cables looking ugly; they are also dangerous if you trip on them.

    I’ve owned two of these and I don’t really have any complaints. Sometimes you have to reset it because it won’t cast but that probably only happens about once every 5 months.

    This Chromecast is a great addition to making your HDTV TV stream capable. I purchased this because I had the old version from years ago and thought I would be able to stream all of my videos at 1080 and it didn't. Maybe I should have purchased Chromecast Ultra.

    Chromecast is a usable streaming solution for viewing images on your portable device on your TV. BUT, it can be a pain in the rear to set up via Google Home and far too often I have to delete and reinstall it. That being said, it works and is cheap.

    I use it to add ability to watch Internet streamed television programming and other Internet videos. So far working with no issues once I figured out how to cast the PC display to this device.

    Perfect solution to stream content on an older TV... Installed with ZERO issues, just need to download the Google Home app... keep in mind this is only 1080p, not 4K.

    Most tvs have this already. I thought it would work better, it's kind of a waste of money unless you need to cast your laptop to the tv. Then that's what you can do with this.

    I purchased this for mirroring my phone to my TV and it worked perfectly. I am sure I will get more usage out of it in the future as well. Would definitely recommend for the price

    If you don’t have a smart tv then this is a great tool to have!! You can connect to a lot of stuff using ur phone. You can also use your mobile hotspot but tricky to do so.

    Everybody's got to have their tiered product lines. Wish it did 4k, but I certainly could have spent more money for an upgrade. I'm not a huge cell phone mirroring head, so it's fine for me and has been compatible with any app I have on my phone.

    This is my 3rd Chromecast, and this one was by far the best, with the strongest signal. Definitely worth it for streaming from your phone/tablet/computer to your TV.

    I'm a little techno challenged...I'm going to have to have Geek squd to get all the bells and whistles worked out. I argue with Google daily when it won't turn on my TV!!!! But the Chromcast works perfect.

    This product is awesome, works great with my Oculus quest. I don’t need to connect my laptop to my tv with an hdmi cable anymore. Very handy to have. Happy customer!

    Small in size and set up is fairly quick once you get the appropriate app downloaded. If you already have other google devices it's an easy add and has been great for my parents to stream some services as their TV doesn't allow for download of newer apps.

    Works in everyway I needed it to work, it's also the perfect upgrade from the 1st generation. Doesn't overheat, and works like a champion! It was a little difficult setting up with my phone though.

    I got this on a whim for experimenting on gadgets I can add to my tablet. I have a tablet with a lot of games like to play and the eye strain gives me headaches when I am playing a lot. Now I can cast what ever game I am playing on my large TV I also got at BestBuy.

    We have an older smart TV in our bedroom, that did not have You Tube. With this device my wife can follow active You Tube streams from our living room to the bedroom.
