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.

I purchased this to upgrade an older flat screen so I could stream to it from my phone. It works wonderfully. I just added the app to my phone and after the setup I was able to stream content from Youtube and Facebook. I have enjoyed being able to stream my favorite exercise videos to the tv. If you get one, you will love it!!!

I bought a chromecast about five years ago and it was starting to act up. It could not connect to my wifi or stay connected. I purchased this new one and the installation and operation is ten times better than the old one. It looks only slightly different from the first one but works so much better. They have definitely improved it.

I purchased this to use for casting my Oculus Quest 2. For this purpose it is excellent! Once setup I haven’t had any problems casting.
For other purposes it’s awkward. No remote. You need to use your phone and cast streaming services. Which makes you phone unusable IMO. It dropped connection a couple times while watching Netflix when I checked a text message. I would give 2 stars if it weren’t for the Quest casting.

I bought this item not expecting too much from it. I needed to cast some video from my Oculus Quest. After I connected it all, I was surprised how easy it was to set up, and there was no lag on the casting from my device all the way to the TV. I'm happy with it and it is worth it.

Great for improving your non-smart tv. I get to watch many of my subscription plans off my phone to tv(Disney ,Hulu, Netflix, paramount, hbomax, and ESPN +) not to mention YouTube. Great addition to any home rather than buying another smart tv($100+), for only $30

It is one EVERY TV in my house! I love the integration with all of the other Google devices throughout the home. Works flawlessly with Google Hub, and all of our Android phones. I can tell a Google device to play music or a TV program on any device that is on the network. Literally used each and every day with our YouTube TV subscription.

I thought this would be difficult because I'm not good with technology but it was an easy setup and took a few minutes. I needed it up north so that we could get Netflix and we also get Showbox and I am extremely happy with it. There are other things we can get we just have not explored that yet. I bought one for my niece for Christmas.

This is my first chromecast and I initially didn’t know why I needed one. However after using it for a few months now...I like having the ability to watch videos on compatiable apps and cast to my tv while still having full access to my phone to text, make calls, or surf the internet. I plan on buying another exclusively for travel.

If you are a little bit tech savy, the setup is a breeze. Once I had it hooked up I can stream all the stuff you expect, but can also stream from my Synology using DS Video. Scroll movies on tablet, pick cast and select device... boom! Tablet becomes the guide and can see movie details instead of just title. Very convenient.

Chromecast is AMAZINGGGG! Makes my life so much easier with my indecisive children that like their tv switched every 5 seconds. Also perfect that i can use this with my phone and not have to worry about a remote. It is so nice that everything in my house that can be casted to works.
