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.

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.

I love watching my granddaughters videos on the big screen! Very easy to install although I did call chromecast support and actually got someone on the line within minutes with an answer.

Another smart buy for just a few bucks. Plugged into TV, you can "cast" or stream your screen to the TV. After casting a video to the TV, you can use your computer for something else as well.

I purchased the google chromecast to compliment an earlier purchase of the google home mini. Set up is simple, it's easy to use and I can use my smartphone as the controller for all the apps.

Bought this to replace an aging 1st Gen Chromecast. It pretty much resolved all the issues we were facing at the previous one, no more lag or sudden disconnection

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
