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.

I love that I can cast YouTube or Disney plus on the TV and I can still use all the functions on my phone or be on another app while having the movie or video on the TV. I recommend

My in-laws use YouTube TV exclusively for their live TV viewing, and these are the only things that make that process simple and easy enough for them to do so. Small, cheap and reliable... hard to complain!

Works fine--all you need to do is follow the instructions on the screen, which aren't difficult. Then you have a working Chromecast! I don't see how anyone could be dissatisfied.

Have it one two of our former TVs/video screens and gives us access to internet for television shows and moves. Simple for a computer dummy like myself to install and then use.

Meets the needs when the TV is not "smart". Works great, easy to setup and cheaper than buying a new TV when the one you have is good.

I have purchased the earlier model of this item and needed one for my office. It was an easy set-up and worked exactly as expected, although it had trouble connecting at first, I don't think it was an issue with this. I think it was an issue with Google Home.

I love these chromecasts, they make streaming so easy in secondary locations; my favorite thing is that the USB port in the television powers them, so no need to use the wall adapter.

Large learning curve from Apple TV. Have a few complaints, but Im sure its my needing to learn, rather than bad device. One such issue is getting one tv to cast with 2 different people and 2 different iphones. If you use the same phone all the time its great. But 2 phones you screw around disconnect/cast a half dozen times. Also I just figured out when I say hey google, I need to say CAST first. It was very frustrating saying "tune to", "change channel to" etc. It takes you off to you tube music etc, rather than the tv station you wanted.

We cast all of our streaming services through our Chromecast and love it. It is super easy and convenient. When on vacation or visiting family, we try not to leave home without it.

The chromecast is a really good casting device. I have a smart tv and never use it's capabilities because it is so easy to use. One click and the movie is there. No remote and just fun to use.
