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.

For what you get out of it, the price is more than well worth it. So much so that I bought one for every TV, even the smart TVs. I also have one for when I travel. Must have for anyone with a TV.

Simple, open the package, plug into the tv, and start enjoying your content! I use it every time I work out and having it controlled through my phone makes it easy to start and stop the streaming. Great picture quality too

I purchased the Apple TV several years ago and still can’t operate it easily. Decided to try the Google Chromecast in a different room/TV, and love it! Very easy to setup and very easy to use.

Easy to pair if you have Google Home. Also set this up in a hotel room using the wifi from my phone so this worked out well for traveling as well. Does get a bit hot.

I’m still playing around with it but I use it to watch YouTube tv with a subscription. Also if you have satellite service you can’t watch any of the premium channels like HBO using your password you must have a separate subscription. Pairs great with google home or mini. The only thing I don’t like is that it has to be plugged in separately for power. The hdmi cord does not charge it and it has to plug into the usb on the tv or an outlet.

It works flawlessly...I've had experienced delays with the casting or disruptions. I also have a 1st generation chromecast and usually have some delays so this upgrade is worth it.

Quick easy setup, portable with everything you need. Connecting devices to stream on screens is easy and quick as well. I have found 1 hiccup, if streaming for more than 4 hours you will have to turn off your tv for a minute and reconnect. Other than that it’s worth it.
Thanks

I had the original 1st gen model and this almost doubles the speed of that model. Since I have YouTubeTV, it was a better choice to upgrade to this to make the stream more seamless and better the clarity.

Love how it’s inexpensive, yet provides its job very well. It stopped working for a while, but it only needed to be unplugged and replugged to work again. Never had a problem with it.

We bought so we could watch Disney+ on our TV. My husband loves that it syncs to your phone and he doesn’t have to watch YouTube Videos on the computer!

No more watching the remote bearer click through endless options before finally finding something to watch. Browse from your phone, cast and be done! Great with the Google mini pack since you can also do voice commands!

This chromecast is so easy to use. It is literally plug and go. It's really nice to connect to google assistant and just talk to the tv. I love casing my computer screen when i'm working. Fast delivery. Great price.

I love that I can stream my Disney plus and the kids shows through this and it is super easy for people like me that are very savvy with electronics. But the only downside I have is that I cannot stream my Apple TV app or hbo go from my Apple phone (everything else I can).

The Google Chromecast was priced so right that we bought two. It is easy to use and makes viewing streamed movies so enjoyable by casting them up to a large screen TV.
