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 was hoping it was going to do a little more but it’s exactly as it says it would do. It’s been great to be able to mirror things to the tv.

    This little gem does exactly what it's supposed to do and is very easy to install. Just plug and play, after signing in to Google, of course. I can cast just about anything from my phone now. The only issue we have and that lowers the rating from a 4 is that for some inexplicable reason there are little skips or blips in the audio feed when we are watching video. Strange?

      Hi Betty, thanks for sharing your review. We're glad to hear that you're enjoying your experience with the Chromecast. For your audio feed issue, initially we would advise you to reboot the Wi-Fi of your phone, then your router if the issue still persists. But afterwards, we'd recommend that you contact our support specialists so we can investigate further on why there are little skips in the audio feed and we can find the cause of the issue and provide you with tips that may improve your experience. You can reach us on our Google Help page here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp madebygoogle

    It's nice having an app to control the streaming, rather than a remote that'll have limitations.

    Chromecast was used for an old TV. Would be better if it included a remote

You cast your favorite video streaming apps from your phone to the TV either by controlling it manually with your phone or by voice command using Google Assistant. If you have additional questions or need assistance with your Chromecast please don't hesitate to contact us on our Google Help page.

    It’s a vanilla device. It does what it’s supposed to. I guess the only exciting review would be if your chromecast suddenly turns into a PS4.
