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.

Streaming Media Player not as I hoped
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This streaming media player is not exceptionally easy to use. I set it up and realized that you can need to have a subscription to a streaming station such as Netflix or Hulu. I think had I known that I needed to have these subscriptions, I would like it.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat headset for casual listening
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed something to plug into my phone to listen to music while getting medical treatments. Do not like earbuds. These are great. Good sound quality, and limits the amount of outside noise also.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is great if your streaming YouTube to a tv or any type of video. It connects through WiFi and Bluetooth so depending how string the connection is how the quality will be. There tends to be a lag when you cast through chrome on a laptop

Great for photos, but...
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was rather difficult to set up. I prefer Amazon's Firestick for ease of setup, use, and features. Once set up, it is nice for casting photos, but, I prefer other devices for streaming.

Good product!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product works well very little delay. I wish I had known that you cannot set it up with the device that you're using as a hotspot the initial time it took to setup would have been shortened. You need an additional device. But easy enough to setup with additional device.

Okay
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this about a month ago. Works fine, but sometimes it can act up and not connect to my mobile device. So I would have to unplug and restart my chromecast. Other than that this works great!

Simple Quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This player works as advertised. It provides a lot of functionality for a low price. I wish my TV had more HDMI inputs but this little player deserves one of them.
I would recommend this to a friendDoes not work with Zoom
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I made this purchase so my parents would be able to access their zoom chair yoga classes Given be the local senior center. Unfortunately, this did not work. Otherwise it is a good product to watch other things in TV from Their other devices.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat addition to smart home setup
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I connected my Chromecast to my Google Assistant and use it all the time to turn the TV off and on, adjust volume and stream shows all with my voice. I'm not even sure where the remote is anymore.
I would recommend this to a friendGood product. Works as promised.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Chromecast (latest model) is a good product and works as promised. We are highly satisfied with the product and pleased with the purchasing/delivery process as well.
I would recommend this to a friendWorks well with simple installation
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Chromecast was easy to set up provided you have an open HDMI port. The only thing I don't like is having to use an app for the initial set-up. I really don't want another thing on my phone. Luckily once it's connected I don't need to use the app.
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Remote control
Very Easy to use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought for my kids room It works very well. I didn't know you need to set it up with your gmail account. This is the only thing i don't like. The remote control is your cell phone, so be mindful of this when you purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend Over priced
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's fine for Google/android user. I use it to cast videos but I could already do that with my TV. It nice for quick things to cast. Also it the network is slow you'll have choppy video. get them on sell cause you can do lot more now with them before. Don't buy at full price.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendChromecast Review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's ok. I purchased so I wouldn't need to use HDMI wires. It would be perfect if you were just streaming. When trying to use as a second monitor for computer work. It does not allow for easy use and multiple tabs and computer activity.
I would recommend this to a friendWorks for what I need
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am strictly using this to steam the video feed from my Oculus Quest to the tv for group gatherings. It works great without any hiccups with a decent WiFi router (N or higher).
