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.

    Chromecast makes it easy to stream from my phone to the TV. Screen share is responsive and with good internet makes it a good experience.

    The Chromecast works just as expected. I can stream from my mobile device, tablet, or from my Chrome browser on my computer. The stream is always high quality.

    I have an older tv and thought this was perfect. Installed but it never completed the install. I believe it’s due to my tv so I can’t really say. However, it was easy to start the install!

    Though lacking in the features of the likes of the Amazon Fire Stick this device makes up for it with the integration into the Google Ecosystem.

    No Chromecast Audio, but it fills the need.

    Bought this to replace a 1st gen Chromecast. I mainly use it in a speaker group so I can cast music to multiple rooms at once.

    We got this so we can cast slingbox from my phone to a TV on our back patio. It works great. Just make sure that you have a pretty good WiFi signal during setup

    I don't really like writing negative reviews, but it's hard not to for these devices. I purchased a Google Home and Google mini a while ago and it's not the brightest piece of technology. They constantly indicate that they are unable to help with things we question about. I decided to try the Chromecast to control my Samsung TV through Google Home and I'm almost convinced that there's a monkey operating those devices in the background. Sometimes it works, but most of the time it can't find the Chromecast. I'm not impressed with the Google products. I'm going to continue looking for better products to use at home.

    I bought this thinking it could be same as Apple TV but on android devices, but it wasn’t was like that. You’ll be able just to share on your tv few apps. But for the money it’s ok.

    Google Chrome is the way to go when you don't have the built in system to your TV. It works great, connects quick, and rarely experience any delays in playback.

    Works just like I needed it to. And it's great for travel. Also... Don't forget that if you have USB ports in your TV then you don't need a wall outlet.

    It has been great, we have a smart tv but i guess it is not that smart because we had to buy the chromecast to watch different streaming events.

    I primarily use Netflix and Prime for entertainment but stream news from YouTube. My new phone didn't allow mirroring. This easily solved it with no commercials.

    We previously had a version 1 of the Chromecast and it was a little slow at times. Since we really wanted to cast from a PC and NOT purchase a service, this new Chromecast worked well. We're happy that we purchased it.
