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.

    Chromecast - Very Good, less than Perfect

    Works very well for casting from all our devices to our Big Screen TV which unfortunately does not have a Net Connection. One major issue with the device is that there is no way to control which WIFI network it connects to -- and I have four of the in the house (Main and Guest on 2.5GHZ, and Main and Guest on 5GHZ). This is a real pain, and requires try and pray and hope that it will connect to the Main 5HZ network where all our devices are connected. One other issue is that Colors and Brightness, and also Audio Equalization seems to get clobbered by Chromecast is used. Color and Brightness are blinding, and Audio is muddled. We have to adjust things on the TV every time we use Chromecast and set it back to normal when we are watching TV without the Chromecast. These can be show stoppers for some. We are getting used to these issues, as the ability to watch You Tube as a family on our Living Room Large TV (which does not have net connection) is well worth everything.

    We had one chromecast before ordering this and realized we need another for our main level. Before, we would keep running it up and down the stairs and switch between two TV's whenever we needed it. But since Best Buy was selling these at a great price for Black Friday, we decided to jump on the sale and get one.

    Lastest chromecast is great! its smaller than older chromecast, includes USB cable for power and can use the USB Port available on the TV. Compatible with google home so you can start casting with a voice command. Build quality is great and simple setup, all mostly automated on the google home app. Works with lots of apps. Youtube, netflix, hulu, vudu, etc.

    Casting our videos/movies to the tv is a breeze! We bought our teenage daughters these for Christmas when we cut our cable. 8 months later & I believe they still use these on a daily basis! We added one to our bedroom it doesn't get as much use as our daughters but it has moore than paid itself off! Well worth the money!

    I ordered this because apparently it was necessary to have in order to cast my Google pixel phone to my TV or projector. I normally use Samsung phone but decided to give the pixle 3 a try (worst mistake ever) and was disappointed when I learned I could not cast my phone to any of my devices Like I would normally do with my Samsung. The Chromecast is fine and was easy to set up but I will be returning to Samsung at will let Google keep all their devices.

    Streams well! A remote can be a plus if added?

    Simple, small HDMI connecting device! Its almost been 6 months now buying the chromecast device and even after using it every day, never had any issue. The initial setup took a little while to understand the steps, but it is all worth it. My friend asked me to purchase it just to use while their parents were visiting us, but now we ended up using it everyday. One downside is that it doesn't come with a remote, compared with other similar products in the market place.

    With the exception of the occasional short buffering, which may be mainly because of my internet provider, the Chromecast is a great option for streaming/viewing from various platforms (Hulu/Netflix/YouTube, etc...) from smaller devices like smartphone or laptop, on to the tv screen. Having Chromecast has helped tremendously with not having cable

    Simple and straightforward, just download the home app on android or ios and should be up and running in no real time. It might take a while to upgrade the firmware. It converts an older dumb tv into a smart one by connecting just to the hdmi port.

    Great item. Purchased this item for a bedroom. Easy to install (the actual item, chrome cast and the app) I paired it with a google home mini that I received as a gift. It works well when casting through a chrome book for the kids to be able to zoom or for myself when attending webinars. Extremely happy with this purchase.

    This device is great if you are wanting to mirror content from your phone to your TV. We purchased to be able to view our photos on the big screen. After testing, it seamlessly streams your video content to your tv from your phone. It is perfect if traveling. The connection to the wireless is a bit spotty, even when the streaming device next to it has never had problems connecting and is fairly close to the router.
