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.

I have an old LCD TV on a swivel mount in my shop and I can now cast YouTube videos from my phone straight to the TV. It helps me get more work done when I need to watch a video on anything I'm building or fixing. The connection process to my Google Home app on my phone was very easy.

We love this little piece of tech. We have one for each tv and I really wish they had come out with these a long time ago. So simple to use. Plug in and go! We cast just about everything. You literally don't have much to do. Sweeping a floor takes more energy then using this product! Love it!

Just what we needed to help us through the pandemic. Ended up getting a few of the subscription services, and this let me access and control those services from my cell phone. We also had a pandemic graduation that I was able to cast for our family.

I purchased this during the pandemic to screen movies from my tablet to my TV since my TV isn't a smart tv. I thought it would work with my apple phone to mirror but I wasn't able to get it to work. So instead of getting a smart tv it was cheaper to get the chromecast.

I have had a Chromecast for one TV and got a 2nd one for my mother's TV so she could watch movies that I owned. It has been a real enjoyment for her. And during Covid I have been able to put her Church Service from her tablet onto her TV. Such Joy for Her.

I love it as it finally allows me to view my Arlo cameras on my television! Before, I could only see them on the small screen of my phone or tablet. Outside of that benefit, it operates just like the Amazon Firestick, turning older TV's into smart tv's. Great product!!

By using the Google Chromecast device, I am able to use different media options to watch shows. It is easy to install, and allows you to use different TVs throughout the house. You are able to also control it with different devices such as your smart phone or tablets. It is an great addition to your home media.

I have a 59” tv that is not smart but it’s 3D. I bought it like 5 years ago. It’s a good screen but I couldn’t enjoy Netflix or YouTube. So this small chromecast changed its life now it feels like brand new and it’s easy to use. Even my mom who is not very friendly either technology can use it perfectly.

I purchased 2 Chrome casts for our older smart TV’s as we can’t get newer apps on them. BEST THING EVER. Now we have tv access to Disney Plus and HBO Now, instead of having to huddle around a tablet or watch from our phones. So east to hook up as well!

I bought this to replace several of my devices that would no longer support the major streaming services. Also, I had the original sine the original launch date and has severed me well. I take the old with me to stream from my computer and tablet. I like this new one and was easy to set up.

You can you a cellphone, tablet, iPad or any device that allow you to scream to the chrom cast. The chrom cast is a good dive and really easy to set up. You can unplug this dive and relocate it easily in you home if needed. Overall this is a great device!

As would be expected from Google this tech does the job with a simple set up using the Google Home app.
I have a Tri band WiFi router and one small issue is that if the set up device, my phone in this case, and the Chromecast are not on the same WiFi band the Chromecast couldn't find the streaming content.

We have found that a good number of our streaming apps are not available on our older devices. Rather than updating a ton of expensive equipment, we can plug this in and stream the apps from our phones. So for its worked really well and we haven't found an app that didn't work.

Roku is better

I bought the Chromecast because that was the only way to cast from my Pixel to a TV. It does work great, but that is the only time I use it instead of the Roku. IMHO, Google Home is a pain to use. When I had to change the network for the Chromcast, I had to factory reset the Chromecast to complete the wifi config.

I have a old dumb TV. Adding this is a great alternative to buying a new smart TV. TV works great, it’s just dumb. Now I can stream live TV from my iPhone apps and watch streaming movies. Plugged it in my HDMI port and available USB port in my TV and easy set up via Google app.
