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.

    Always great to cast from your phone to the tv using a chromecast. Some apps that us ethis feature do not always integrate as they should. Like discovery+ or tidal music. But mostly great for all else.

    I bought this mainly to cast my computer screen to my TV. It works perfectly to do so and I have had no issues. It allows me to cast any player that can only work on a web browser to my TV and does not have a corresponding TV app

    We dropped cable from the TV in our pool table room so purchased this as an option to stream Spectrum cable without a cable box. Also available to stream Spotify while we have friends over. Thank you!

    Prior to purchasing I reviewed the operation of this device, but wasn't quite sure. I asked the associate in the department and he offered advise that contradicted how I thought it operated. In short, we were casting to a 2016 Samsung TV from Samsung phones and tablet. The video/streaming wouldn't play straight through and would pause or stall. This is the issue with prior to 2017 TV versions. With my research I found we would still have to use the phone/tablet, however the associate said no we wouldn't need too. Also I asked if it would work with Discovery + and he said yes it has over 2000 apps which isn't true. The device is only used to cast to the TV opposed to other options such as smartview. When using the device, no issues with playing videos/streaming

    I didn't know why I would need this when I have a smart t.v. I can say that it has improved my streaming experience, my t.v. is a little older and would buffer from time to time, now that I use the chrome cast, no buffering, and picture quality.

    I love my Chromecast! HD comes through in HD with no loss of quality. I can take it on vacation and use on the TV in hotels and vacation rentals. A subscription to YouTube TV and a Chromecast is all I need other than internet access.

    Goodbye cable - Hello streaming. After receiving a HUGE fios bill we decided to cut the cord. We only watched a few channels anyway, so we decided to use Chrome Cast and a few other services and we could not be happier with the results.

    This is an inexpensive and pretty easy way to cast google movies, google tv shows, and youtube videos to your home tv screen. Instead of viewing on a small phone or tablet, you and your family or friends can now easily see them on your much larger tv screen.

    I love this! It makes my life so much easier for myself and family. We don’t have cable in our family room. We just watch videos , movies in youtube or other sites as well since most of the tome we are all out. But at night we all watch stuff together.

    Google chrome is simply what every family needs. Nowadays s you can watch any program or tv show with it. It has a small size so it fits everywhere and it has a small connector.

    Bought this new one to replace my generation one Chromecast and it works great. The picture quality is very good and it is able to stream at much higher speeds than I was before. The screen sharing capability is much smoother now that I am able to connect 5gHz channels.

    I have one, already. I bought this one for a friend who doesn't have a smart TV. He loves it. He didn't think he would use it much but, now he finds he spends hours on it every day.

    This is so easy to set up even a 5th grader can do it! In less than a few minutes I was able to watch my fav movies on my big screen tv. I will buy another one for my bedroom tv. Price was awesome since I was able to use my BestBuy points.

    New what I wanted. The local store had it in stock. Went out and got it. Brought it home and hooked it up. Easy to use. All is good. I've been a happy Best Buy customer for years and also a total tech support subscriber.

    I have a Smart TV but I still use chromecast simply for the sheer functionality and ease of use it possesses. It allows me to cast from my tablet or phone various different streaming platforms. I feel it is a great accessory to any entertainment set up!

    Good works as it should. Didnt want to buy it but learned Samsung doesnt have built in Chromecast you have to buy it separately unlike many other TV brands.

    Very easy to set up, purchased this to go along with my Oculus Quest 2 so that I could cast to my TV. Definitely makes for a better gaming experience when you are playing with others, so they can see what you are viewing.
