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.

We watch a lot of Netflix and YouTube at my house but not a lot of broadcast tv. The Chromecast makes streaming so simple! You plug it in, wait for the device to find your WiFi, download an app on your phone and you are in business. I love how accessible it is.

This is the first streaming device my wife and I have tried, and I wish we had done it sooner. Very easy to set up, very easy to use, and it opened a world of content and hours of entertainment. Highly recommend.

Awesome Product, bought three of them all total. I bought two for my parents last year, and they are not the best with modern technology, but if my father is able to figure it out and use it, anyone can use this product, Great for streaming

I cant really give any stars(but I guess I have to) because I bought the wrong thing for what I was trying to do! I wanted an item to mirror my contact from my phone to my TV! This product I guess somewhat does that but its also a streaming device so you have to connect to wifi, Which is what I was trying to avoid!

Had no problem setting up, or selecting the input. The picture came right up bright & clear.
However, it works only in a wall outlet...not an electrical strip. Did not try with it plugged into its own extension cord and then an outlet.

I love this Chromecast!! The smart tv I recently purchased didn’t have the hbo app available (and I NEEDED to watch the last season of Game of Thrones) and the Chromecast was easy to install and set up! I was able to do it and begin watching my show within 5 mins.

This was a great purchase for our business. We are able to cast webinars from our computers to the TV for everyone to see. It has been a game changer. Super easy to set up as well.

I decided about 4 years ago to get rid of cable and it's the greatest thing I ever did! I bought a Chrome cast and I just pay for hulu and Netflix I definitely recommend this to everybody who's trying to save money And still wants to watch all of their shows

This Google chrome cast is amazing it lets anyone in our house connect wirelessly to our TV and play music or stream TV shows they like, everyone takes turns playing their favorite show. Also works great to play some music whenever we have parties.

Works well as a basic streaming option. I stream it with my IPhone to an older TV. It is a bit hard to set up as the directions are not very good. It does not tell you that you have to switch your network to the Chromecast device to set it up. However, it streams really well.

The Chromecast was easy to set up using Google Home on my Chromebook. It casts from the Chrome browser as a specific tab or all tabs. Applications that are enabled like youtube detect the unit and offer it as an option,

Its an excellent product for TV’s that does not have casting/mirroring tech. Chromecast is very easy to use with any TV with an USB port, just plug and you are in couple steps its ready to go.

We gave up Directv over a year ago and now stream TV using a Google Chromecast. We have one on every TV in the house. You can stream via YouTube TV, Netflix, Showtime and at a fraction of the cost. Cut the cord . . . get a Chromecast!

I used to take my laptop to my TV and connect with an HDMI cable but I would have to take the power supply for any long program. Now I can leave my laptop on my desk in my office and send the program to my TV with the Google Chromecast. it is wonderful.

Chromecast continues to be the standard for displaying content from your phone, tablet or computer, onto a television. Easy to use, reliable, intuitive, versatile.... the list goes on and on. Just bought our 2nd & 3rd chromecast for the house.

I'm always impressed by how great Chromecasts are. They work on Android, iOS, AND PCs (Windows and Mac via Google Chrome). So many apps support the Chromecast ecosystem at this point (Netflix, Youtube, Apple Music, etc.).

This gen Chromecast device isn't anything new from past ones. If you've never owned one or you last purchased the original Chromecast and find it useful then grab this one on sale for an upgrade. It's definitely a little snappier and allows you to connect it to your home group with your other Google Home devices. Otherwise, the functionality is all the same.
