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.

Most ergonomic chromecast. I prefer this over the old versions as the HDMI cable offers versatility in mounting this to a TV. The old stick Chromecast was plagued with issues that prevented my tv from sitting flush with the wall.
Using it with smartphones and laptops has never been easier. Self explanatory as the instructions to connect smart devices are easy to follow.

I can't say too much more about the ChromeCast that you can't find anywhere else. The device makes it incredibly convenient to stream anything from iOS, Android, PC, or Mac (even Linux if you like to tinker). Every TV in my home has one and the original still works and is supported. This latest version is much faster than the original, only surpassed by the 4K model. Only downside is the lack of Amazon.

I just upgraded to this new chrome cast since my original first generation one stopped working (maybe since it couldn’t update anymore or a user error lol).
Anyways, I use the Chromecast on a daily basis since it allows for me to watch a lot of my lectures on the bigger TV screen instead of the laptop screen. It’s definitely a necessity especially if you have hours of daily screen time and want to prevent as much strain and damage your eyes as possible.
Very easy to setup and use for even non-tech savvy people like me.
Plus- even when you aren’t casting something, the default google scenic images are good background vibes.

I am very happy with this device and its broad compatibility with multiple models and multiple models of televisions. Easy and convenient to set up with very comprehensive tutorials and help guides. It was very helpful when I needed to reboot my device due to a router password change and using it on a different television.

This is as simple as it gets. Just set it up to your internet WiFi and a couple of set up questions and your all done. Haven't really had any problems with casting. Please keep in mind that you are not able to use your headphones for casting, the sound will go into your television. So if you had in mind to purchase this item and be able to stream while keeping the noise down, well you wont be able to do this. FYI. That's the only reason why I am giving this 4 stars.

I absolutely love Chromecast. I gave it a try about two years ago. It has changed my TV viewing completely. Now I have a Chromecast on every screen in the house. This model was an upgrade for my newest TV for the kitchen. We are able to watch Netflix, YouTube, or Hulu on any screen and each family member can make their own choice of what to watch, when and where. It is wonderful!

I have an older Samsung TV and I bought this to turn it into a smart TV since it's cheaper then buying a new TV. It though I wouldnhave some problems since my Samsung TV isn't meant to be a smart TV but no, no problems at all! I really really like this. I have had zero problems unlike the apple tv or Amazon fire stick. This is the best option to go with!

Easy Setup, Love the feature of being able to cast from any device IE: Phone, Tablet, Laptop. Great Features for a decent price. We bring ours even when we go on Vacation so we can cast anything we want to watch, even if the place we vacation to has nothing we really want to watch we can choose whatever we want to watch just by casting from our device. Love the Chromecast!!

The Google Chromecast is one of the best products I bought in a while. You simply plug it in set it up in your Google home app and you're ready to go. Effortlessly stream music and videos to your TV or your receiver if it's capable it will automatically switch to the right input to allow you to view the video this product is a must if you use pictures and videos or TV apps on your

I have purchased several of the Chromecast devices. They are easy to install and work just as well for business applications or the home. It makes a wireless connection to any TV with an HDMI port available, open Google Chrome and select cast from the dropdown menu and find your device you named during installation. Cast an application or your entire desktop.

I purchased this Chromecast, as I use my credentials for Xfinity cable to stream from my phone to this. It saves me money on my monthly cable bill due to not having additional equipment and a service fee to have cable in a different room. Easy to set up, and I mainly use it to stream Xfinity.

Cons: wish it didn’t have to be on the same WiFi network as your phone to be able to stream .
If you don’t have WiFi you will need to do mobile hotspot which doesn’t always give the greatest connection
Pros: easy setup
Was able to stream in minutes
Great way to watch you apps on TV while still being able to do normal phone functions without messing up the streaming
