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.

    These days, we all wish Google would improve the vast majority of their products Thankfully, the 3rd generation of the chromecast has way better connectivity than the last. Compared to the 2nd generation, this latest model keeps it word when it comes to an easy set up. My only two complaints that I with chromecast had the capabilities to do would be connecting to audio via bluetooth and a better picture to display. Quality vs an Apple TV (4th/5th gen) for example, is noticeable from a standpoint. All in all, if you're looking for something affordable to cast videos, music, and pictures to, then this is the device that is enjoyed but everyone, and great for each tv in your home.

    I bought a chromebook and this chromecast for my elderly parents. They are NOT tech-savvy. I helped them set it up and gave them simple written instructions. They mostly use it to cast youtube videos from their chromebook. They watch travelogs for the most part. You can use chromecast from most any hdtv and cast from most any computer. We use ours to watch NFL games from NFL gamepass. Others may want to cut the cord and save $$$ on cable tv. We have a basic tv package and internet. We have saved a ton of money over the years this way.

    Set up was easy overall but you need to download an app. Works well overall and performs as advertised but will sometimes disconnect from my device while playing

      Hi Danno, we´re glad to hear that you had an easy time setting up Chromecast. We apologize for the connectivity issue you are experiencing with it.

      Performing a factory data reset on Chromecast may be helpful with the connectivity issue. Simply follow the steps below:
      - While the Chromecast is plugged into the TV, hold down the button on the side of the Chromecast. - The LED will begin blinking orange.
      - When the LED light turns white, release the button and the Chromecast will begin the reboot sequence.

      We also recommend placing Chromecast not further away than 15-20 feet from your router, and your network is not congested since connection may drop if there is not enough bandwidth on your Wi-Fi network.

      We'd be happy to assist you with your concerns, if you can reach out to any of our support agents here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp madebygoogle

    This was a replacement for the 1st generation chromecast I had and I had no issues setting this one up. Previously, I had issues with the old one staying connected and so far I have no complaints.

    This is my first attempt at streaming to my TV. This product was fairly easy to set up and worked well. The picture and audio were failly clear. One also needs to be aware that wifi speed is a factor and sometimes the picture was not as great and the sound was out of sync.

    Great picture and easy to setup. Only problem is that it is finicky with the wireless network connect. If your setup isolates wireless clients you wont be able to stream from your phone properly.

    this is super easy to manually install (plugs right into an HDMI port). The software routine for installation is a little confusing, but after a couple of tries, it worked. Once installed, this device works great, and streaming is really easy.

    My only knowledge of being able to watch Netflix (along with other streaming services) on my TV was either through my PS4 (no subscription), a Smart TV (too expensive), or connecting my laptop (done it before). I considered getting a smart tv or 4K UHD TV, but I had no real need since my HD TV was still working just fine. Then I discovered this neat little gadget that basically did everything I wanted. Streaming from my phone and projecting to my TV. Why didn't i know about such device sooner!
