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 bought this to replace a first generation chromecast that seemed to constantly have buffering issues and this one is much better. The issues with buffering went away so now I can watch what I cast without the random buffering messages.

    Purchased to stream webinars from my work laptop. When Chrome is running, it just works. So far, it has been very reliable, in fact, more reliable than the Miracast app built into the TV.

    I had been looking to get the cable to stream from my computer to my TV. A Best Buy employee (Teresa) showed me the Google - Chromecast & explained that this would work wirelessly. Wonderful! I was worried about tripping over wires.

    Does what it needs to and allows my phone/tablet to be the alternative to a smart TV purchase. You do introduce the variable of your WIFI speed but this is not an issue if you have enough speed and signal strength available.

    I purchased this chromecast player as a way to access a variety of media that I consume and I had a limited budget. I've been very impressed with the product, it's quality and the programing access that it provides.

    I don't watch TV much, but with this one I can watch Netflix, Amazone Video, YouTube. That's enough for me. This is the 3rd one I bought for me to use with my Tvs which don't connect to internet.

    I use my Chromecast every day. I absolutely love it, it’s great for connecting my Spotify, what I’m viewing on my laptop, and all the usual uses for Netflix/Hulu. I’ve definitely gotten great use out of it!

    As usual the Google Chromecast is great. I have bought 4 for each of the televisions in my household and they all work wonderfully. Connection is seamless and as usual Bestbuy price matches which is a win win for me. Two thumbs up!

    Better than the original version with more features. The setup took a little longer than I thought it should but once connected, I was good to go. Now my guests can stream their preferences in another room while I enjoy my shows.
