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.

I would recommend this to a friendLove chromecasting
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love Google chromecast! I hope they keep up with updates as I had to purchase this gen because my last one quit working because they quit updating the software.
I would recommend this to a friendWorks Extremely Well...BUT
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works extremely well! Super clear and no buffering! But... I thought I could cast anything on my phone to the TV through this but that is not the case. Only can cast whatever apps allow google to integrate accounts with (ex: Disney Plus).
I would recommend this to a friendIt Does Everything You'd Expect It To!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.being able to pair it with my Google Nest and tell it to play something on the TV as I'm heading over to the living room i incredible, I hardly get tired of doing that!
I would recommend this to a friendLimited use
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like it but compared to 0ther devices similar I found this to be limited in apps offered. I got on a package Nest deal and needed for a Udemy course I purchased to view on my TV. So my use is limited and that is why I have it 4 stars. Yes it works well.
I would recommend this to a friendChromecast
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product. It works as it should. I have it connected to my TV so I can connect to YouTube TV through my phone and it works perfect...no issues with connection.
I would recommend this to a friendPerfect for streaming apps
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from gen 1 to this. Runs smoother and easy set up. Everything plays great sound quality from the streaming apps, but if playing a video from a web browser the volume is way low on the TV with crackling in the audio.

Posted .Hi JericaC, thanks for sharing your feedback. We really appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention. You can check the steps below that might help in fixing the issue that you have with your Chromecast:
- Congested networks. Removing some of your connected devices may help relieve congestion.
- If you have a dual band router, try setting up your Chromecast on either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands and see which band is more stable. Make sure that the set up device is on the same network as the Chromecast.
If you're not using Chrome to cast content, we recommend downloading it and using it to cast. If you're using your Chrome web browser make sure that it has the latest update. To do that you need to:
- Open Chrome on your laptop
- At the top right, click More (3 dots).
- Click Update Google Chrome. If you can't find this button, you're on the latest version.
- Click Relaunch.
- If you’re using a mobile web browser make sure that it also has the latest update.

Couldn't be better
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love the chromecast... I've owned every gen so far... I wish they kept the magnet on thr back of the strip but other than that the design is great and so also is the functionality.
I would recommend this to a friendGood
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's pretty cheap, but it's suitable for older TVs. The latest model TVs already have it, so you don't need to buy it separately.
I would recommend this to a friendDoes it all- nothing else needed!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Streaming, casting, it does it all and easily at that! Got a tiny usb cable to plug it in direct from the TV too
I would recommend this to a friendI can mirror now
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It stinks the Google disabled the mirror feature on google phones and forces you to use their products. That aside it works well maybe better than products that could mirror too .

Are you an Amazon or Google fan?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have this as well as the Fire, and while I now wish that I had started with Google, my investments in Amazon preclude me from spending more on Google. You really need to stick to one or the other if you are looking to build a seamless, and cohesively connected smart home.
I would recommend this to a friendFamily time
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Enjoy watching titles on TV and games as well. Living in the the behind times and not having a updated TV pleasure knowing I can fix it with a small fee.
I would recommend this to a friendImproves on the Chromecast
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have been a fan and user of Chromecasts for years. This one is the best ever by far. Google TV is a wonderful platform and holds up well compared to Roku.
I would recommend this to a friendNice addition to home viewing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With Chromecast, we can enjoy features on the TV in a more comfortable atmosphere than crowding around the computer to view what TV networks won't or can't offer.
I would recommend this to a friendNo complaints
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lil thing does what it's expected to do. Occasionally it'll lag because my wifi signal isn't the greatest at times, but otherwise it's great.
I would recommend this to a friendMakes sharing YouTube videos and documents easier
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Chromecast. If you plug the micro USB into a wall outlet and the HDMI into a Smart TV you can turn your TV on and off with Google Assistant on your phone or Google Home device.
I would recommend this to a friendLike it so far
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good. Upgraded our older version that broke. Hopefully this would last for a while just like the other.
I would recommend this to a friendExcellent for non smart tv's!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this to use at vacay home with no smart tv and works flawless. Connects to wifi and works as advertized...
