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).

    The price was competitive. The chromecast worked without any issues. It is connected to surround sound receiver and used to show movies on television.

    This device works great to cast Netflix to my tv. It also works well to cast just about anything (Youtube, pictures, newscasts, etc). I highly recommend this!

    Very useful tool. I didn’t expect I would be connecting lots of devices to my TV but I do when I’m working out, cooking, cleaning, etc.

    Works smoothly for casting from Surface Pro 3 laptop. Good solution. A few live-stream events have audio glitches but I think that's them and not the device.

    I had a first-generation model that finally quit connecting after a few years of Bluetooth phone software updates. The latest version works perfectly!

    Convenient device allows video streaming to older non-smart television sets. Initial connection sometimes intermittent depending upon Wi-Fi network signal strength.

      Hi Kale, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you’re having connectivity issues with your Chromecast.

      Connectivity issues may be related to both the limited bandwidth caused by a congestion of your network or a possible interference. We recommend trying out the following:
      - Remove some of your connected devices to free up some bandwidth space and test if you will experience the same issue. Chromecast typically requires a high speed Internet connection of at least 20 Mbps. If you verify congestion, we suggest contacting your Internet service provider for resolution.
      - Check for possible signal interference. Placing Chomecast in a direct line of sight to your router and away from other possible sources of interference like a refrigerator, microwave oven, etc. might improve signal reception.

      We're always working to improve our products and services, and your feedback goes a long way. If you need further assistance, our support team is always here to help. Feel free to reach out to our Google Chromecast support team here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp madebygoogle

    Google chromecast is an excellent way to make a smart tv out of a standard tv - just be confident in your wifi connection, because it can get dicey. Upgrade to the latest version with a lan port for absolute connectivity.

    Not sure why I waited so long to buy one of these. I had two older tvs to where this was the perfect set up. Love the ability to cast my screen.

    I like it a lot. My family is very pleased with this purchase. They seem to enjoy the voice command. Also, we like the timer command. It is a pretty handy piece of technology.

    I connected it with the USB on my TV, and you could not see it at all. I use Google Mini to control it, and it responds very quickly. We use it for watching YouTube videos.
