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.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    Works seamlessly with an android phone, but I was expecting there to be a remote of some sort. I purchased this in order for my family to watch a person playing Oculus Quest Games though casting. It does this quite splendidly.

    Works perfectly. Set up with Google Home in minutes. Unlike older models, this Chromecast supports both 2.4 and 5 GHz WiFi frequencies. Streams video and audio clearly and in real time.

    Installation is so uncomplicated. It lets you stream almost anything; I’ve been using it with Spotify, Netflix, the Just Dance app for my daughter, HBO NOW, everything from my iPhone or IPad.

    Overall works really well for making a normal TV function more like a smart one! Only drawback for me is regarding the chromecast app- I wish it were better integrated with apps like Netflix, Hulu, etc.

      Hi Don3, thanks for posting your feedback. We can see how the experience of not being able to integrate apps with your Chromecast can be frustrating. However, with your Chromecast you can cast directly from the video streaming app from your phone as long as they are cast-enabled apps. If you need assistance with your Chromecast device, feel free to reach out to our support specialists by clicking on the Google Help page here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp madebygoogle

    I have a Roku, but Roku didn't agree to show HBO/Max, but Google did. Chromecast is much easier to use and will show anything you can see on your ipad or other machine.

    I don't think you can really go that wrong with Google Chromecasts. I love these. They're quick and responsive. I've had a second generation Chromecast before this and this one does seem a bit snappier. I had a weird issue during setup with my iphone pro max upon setting up this device in Google Home. Like near the end stage, the Chromecast was already registering on my other devices, but in the setup, it was claiming my Chromecast wasn't connected. Not sure if that's some kind of glitch, but regardless, I figured it out myself. May not be as intuitive for people who aren't tech-savvy.

    I bought this because I switched from DirecTv to YouTubeTV and needed another streaming media player. I think it works better than the Firestick we have on a different TV.

    Good quality. It occasionally locks up and has to be reset by unplugging. This is most likely due to the unstable nature of my internet. It has the most major streaming services available so it is a good choice for streaming in general.
