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.

    I have different TVs and most them are smart TVs, but it take a long time to connect to the wifi. Google Chrome is the one you can depend on.

    Purchased to replace and older 1st gen Chromecast. This newer version seems to keep a better connection to my network and loads everything faster. Good upgrade.

    It is an amazing small device for this lower price. We like to use it to cast from a small smartphone with a small screen to a huge TV screen.

    I have always loved my old Chromecast. Now this version is even better as it has a better radio and now no longer needs to be periodically unplugged to reconnect to internet.

    Great addons to old tv to make it smart. Kids watch all their kids channels by talking to tv beats searching for remote, and access all google home to tv including cameras.

    Only good if you want to cast video off of your computer or phone. Was thinking there was apps like the fire stick but there isn’t. I like how it goes works with out any flaws with the google homes.

    I've been using it for awhile, until I am tired of using my phone to control my online viewing of Netflix and Youtube. It's working fine, but I am switching to Roku for convenience with a hand remote control.

    The Roku streaming stick YouTube Tv app stopped working on our older Vizio tv. The app works on the Chromecast with no issues. Just wish it came with a remote.

    This device supports numerous streaming services. When you need to share your screen for presentations, you can do that too. Best buy for the money!

    Three years ago, I ordered two 1st gen chromecasts from google. My only concern is it didn't support 5G high-speed wifi. Now, everything is there. 5 stars positive feedback

    First google product. All Apple here but I got for it for my less than tech savvy father. It was easy to use even for him. Recommended for just that reason alone

    Loved my first one so much I had to buy a second one for a friend it is not a conventional streaming device like a Roku or Fire stick and the like because it uses your phone or tablet as it's content source.
