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.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My dad needed a way to connect his smart phone to his TV. He was looking at wired solution until I showed him this device and he has never been happier.

Good Product, except when changing WiFi locations
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well but is challenging if switching WiFi's to reset it. I love the product, however if you move it from location to location it is very dificult to reset to new wifi.

Posted .Hi Randy, thanks for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to learn that you love using Chromecast, and we’re sorry to hear about the challenges you have when changing its Wi-Fi network.
We understand that Chromecast can only remember one Wi-Fi network at a time. Before going to a different location, we suggest to have your device forget the network, so you don’t have to do a factory reset. Here’s how:
- Make sure your mobile device or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi as your Chromecast device.
- Open the Google Home app.
- Tap your device
- At the top right corner, tap Settings > Wi-Fi > Forget > Forget network.
- You’ll be taken back to your home screen.
- Set up your Chromecast with the new Wi-Fi network.
You can also do a factory reset on your Chromecast, and redo the setup as an alternative. To reset your Chromecast, you can follow this:

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this on a whim for experimenting on gadgets I can add to my tablet. I have a tablet with a lot of games like to play and the eye strain gives me headaches when I am playing a lot. Now I can cast what ever game I am playing on my large TV I also got at BestBuy.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm a little techno challenged...I'm going to have to have Geek squd to get all the bells and whistles worked out. I argue with Google daily when it won't turn on my TV!!!! But the Chromcast works perfect.
I would recommend this to a friendDoes it all- nothing else needed!

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works in everyway I needed it to work, it's also the perfect upgrade from the 1st generation. Doesn't overheat, and works like a champion! It was a little difficult setting up with my phone though.
I would recommend this to a friendBiggest small investment
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This came handy with COVID-19- being able to still watch our grandchildren on the big screen. After I seen how mine worked I purchased 3 more for Christmas gifts.
I would recommend this to a friendCan't connect to hotel wifi
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's way better than the first Chromecast I bought. I like that it has a Android system. I do not like that I can not connect to the wifi at the hotel I am staying in due to the Chromecast not letting me check the agree with terms box.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is what it is supposed to be and wherever I am transmitting from is received by this device. Not usually satisfied by technology but this is a great tool.
I would recommend this to a friendUpgrade
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the older version and my son broke it and needed to replace it. This updated version ended up being cheaper. So far I like it. It functions the same, so no complaints here.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat product!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product is really great for the price. It is really cool that this product’s controller is your phone. It doesnt really say that anywhere though. Also I hooked this up through the USB port of my TV so that I didnt have to have the cord running down!
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Remote control
Not easy to use
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There is no remote for this. Which I knew. I thought using my cellphone to run the app would be easy and convenient, however, it was not. Took a little bit to figure out how to get photos from my phone to show on the TV.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend A Must for Disney+
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We got Disney+, but were only able to watch it via X-Box One. There was no app on our family room TV. We got the Chromecast and now the whole family can watch Disney+ via our family TV.
I would recommend this to a friendI can mirror now
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It stinks the Google disabled the mirror feature on google phones and forces you to use their products. That aside it works well maybe better than products that could mirror too .
