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.

    There is no remote for this. Which I knew. I thought using my cellphone to run the app would be easy and convenient, however, it was not. Took a little bit to figure out how to get photos from my phone to show on the TV.

    Bought this for my daughter for Christmas because she wanted a smart TV but her TV was still like new. She loves the fact that she controls everything from her phone. Great buy

    We got Disney+, but were only able to watch it via X-Box One. There was no app on our family room TV. We got the Chromecast and now the whole family can watch Disney+ via our family TV.

    Needed a new upgrade and this was definitely what I needed. My new TV doesn't have a few apps that I wanted to install, so this makes it so I can cast those apps to my TV

    Fantastic streaming device. Nothing to complain! Works well with all range of medias in terms of connectivity. Had no issue at all connecting my computer to the TV.

    I had the older version and my son broke it and needed to replace it. This updated version ended up being cheaper. So far I like it. It functions the same, so no complaints here.

    This product is really great for the price. It is really cool that this product’s controller is your phone. It doesnt really say that anywhere though. Also I hooked this up through the USB port of my TV so that I didnt have to have the cord running down!

    Chrome cast allows me to stream movies and tv shows using WiFi! I’m able to watch Netflix, Hulu, and Disney on my flat screen Targaryen is not a smart tv. Very happy with my purchase!

    Works well but is challenging if switching WiFi's to reset it. I love the product, however if you move it from location to location it is very dificult to reset to new wifi.

      Hi Randy, thanks for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to learn that you love using Chromecast, and we’re sorry to hear about the challenges you have when changing its Wi-Fi network.

      We understand that Chromecast can only remember one Wi-Fi network at a time. Before going to a different location, we suggest to have your device forget the network, so you don’t have to do a factory reset. Here’s how:

      - Make sure your mobile device or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi as your Chromecast device.
      - Open the Google Home app.
      - Tap your device
      - At the top right corner, tap Settings > Wi-Fi > Forget > Forget network.
      - You’ll be taken back to your home screen.
      - Set up your Chromecast with the new Wi-Fi network.

      You can also do a factory reset on your Chromecast, and redo the setup as an alternative. To reset your Chromecast, you can follow this:
      https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/6254654

      If you need assistance, you can always contact our support team here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp madebygoogle

    Google Chromecast is such an awesome product! It can be taken anywhere that has wi-fi so you can stream or cast your favorite shows, pictures, etc. even when visiting. I even take it with me on vacay!!

    This came handy with COVID-19- being able to still watch our grandchildren on the big screen. After I seen how mine worked I purchased 3 more for Christmas gifts.

    It's way better than the first Chromecast I bought. I like that it has a Android system. I do not like that I can not connect to the wifi at the hotel I am staying in due to the Chromecast not letting me check the agree with terms box.

    These devices pick up the signal from the phone, very nicely. Signal is strong and reception when mirroring the phone is very good. I like the updated version much better than the old version.

    The images are much crisper than the previous version, which we'd been very happy with. We just needed a new one to use on another tv, instead of moving it back and forth.

    does what it suppose to do. nuff said. You don't want what it does, don't buy it. You want more function than what it does, then buy something else.

    It is what it is supposed to be and wherever I am transmitting from is received by this device. Not usually satisfied by technology but this is a great tool.

    My 80 year old mom loves tech. But she’s not necessarily good at it. So theres a fine line between she loves it and she blows up your phone for help. She loves her chrome cast, my phone is silent.
