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.

A simple media streaming dongle that works

Essentially, this is a streaming dongle that fits behind the TV\AV Receiver and out of sight. Streaming to it just involves selecting the "Cast" icon found in most streaming apps these days, and letting the system do its work. (one may have to install a Chromecast app that works in the background on one's phone)
These days, both audio and video can be streamed through this one dongle, though due to the HDMI plug it would only work on a TV\AV Receiver. For those looking to use this one similar to the Chromecast Audio in a basic "speaker only" setup, unfortunately this would not work.

It was extremely easy to setup and it’s great you can use your phone or tablet as a remote control...Don’t have to worry about keeping track of another remote.

Attempting to control cable service expense we wanted to try the Google streaming device. Easy to set up, adds a great deal of capability to our not-so-smart TV.

Bought this for a friend. Apparently they are great for streaming. If you own a 4K tv I would recommend to go for the superior model that has 4K streaming capabilities.

The Chromecast makes streaming from my laptop or phone very easy. I have the Roku but enjoy having this also to easily transfer things to the big screen.

This has made my old 42 inch plasma tv into a genuine smart tv
It is easy to setup on IPhone and IPad which I both use
The only con that I have is that even with Chromecast volume set to max the audio level is much lower than other sources on my Denon amplifier
It means that you have to turn up the master volume on my home theater about 15 dB to get the same output from the speakers
All In all a small price to pay for excellent overall performance
Use it with Amazon Prime video all the time
Youtube music videos and music work flawlessly
