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.

    Bought this and it makes my TV that has work without paying the cable company for an extra box. I will probably buy another one for another TV.

    I have two of these for myself and use it frequently to stream from my phone to the tv. I just recently purchased another one for a friend as a birthday gift and I highly recommend it.

    Bought this to cast my kids Oculus stream to my TV. No issues dropping the stream but beware there’s a slight delay (of course). I maybe should have went with the 4K model because the picture is so-so on my 4K TV.

    Works very well. Just be sure to set it up with the internet connection that you are going to use. It is not easy to switch from one to another.

    So far, I am happy with the new computer from Dell. Fast; good image quality and good sound. And the image from 24" to 27" is a good difference

    The Chromecast is great for projecting pictures on our TV from our cell phone or laptop. Watching programs we missed etc. We actually have Chromecast on each of our TVs.

    I could use more instructions. The guy who sold it to us said we didn’t need to have a subscription to hulu to use it, that is wrong information. You do have to subscribe to hulu to watch through this device, so I’m not sure if I needed this at all.

    This is such a cool little piece of equipment. I can watch stuff on my phone like YouTube, Hulu, shudder or my own videos and cast them right to my tv without any lag.

    If you don't have Chromecast for your TV you need to get into this century. Super cheap and lots of cool streaming features and works well alongside Google Home.

    Does exactly what you'd expect it to do. I had connectivity issues with the older model, but this one connects with all of the phones and tablets in the house without any problems.

    So, it is awesome, I Love viewing pics and videos on tv , however, I have it set up in my garage which is about 50' from the router in my wife's office. Needless to say, IT CUTS OUT!!!!! Very frustrating. Can't blame it on Chromecast,it could be the service. Haven't had time to troubleshoot prob yet, but make sure you have excellent wifi signal if you plan on buying this product. The device design is strange, it has a 4" USB cord that plugs in to tv and dangles, which is in the long run, bad, any type of cord should NEVER be under any kind of stress. Price wasn't bad...and was super easy to set up.

      Hi, thanks for sharing your review. We're sorry to hear that your Chromecast has connectivity issues.

      We recommend that the Chromecast should be within 20 feet from the router to get the optimal signal for casting. Since the device is set up 50 feet from the router, we suggest having a Wi-Fi extender to boost the signal.

      The cable which is used to connect the Chromecast to your TV's HDMI input is designed to fit at the back of your TV even if your TV is inches away from the wall. We take your feedback seriously as this may help us improve our products features and services.

      If you have any questions or need further assistance with your Chromecast, feel free to contact us here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp madebygoogle

    BUT, compared to the Sony TV we bought after using this with our phones with Android TV built-in. It worked good, but using a remote on a tv is so much better!

    Its a great accessory for TV. Eventhough all TV's are smart TV's now i still prefer to use Chromecast for convenience. Only inconvenience is the remote support which is not there for chromecast. So you need to depend on mobile phones always.

    Bought two of these, one for my husband and one for my son to use at college. They both like the newest version, much nicer than the original version we've had for quite a few years.
