However, some users experienced connectivity issues, and the lack of a physical remote control was a common point of feedback.

I bought this to replace an older chromecast that was not supported by the Oculus Quest headsets. Seems to work how it should. Setup was quick and simple.

I'm not the most technical but this was easy to get up and running. I had an older version so that made it easier but would have been easy anyway. It works great.

After talking with friends and paying way too much for cable. Some friends told me about the chrome cast. It’s perfect for nextflix,sling tv and movies on the go.

I ended up returning this because I expected this to be like the apple TV. It doesn't have a remote and can't turn on/off the tv or change volume. I recommend people only get this if they don't have a smart tv.

Much faster connection and much more stable. It is pretty much the same as the previous generation chromecast but once it starts to cast you can tell the difference

Overall we absolutely love our new Chromecast!! Having it sync with all of our other google devices is great! This would have been a 5 star except there were a couple downfalls. The main perk was being able to ask Google to play shows while I'm either cleaning or in the kitchen and it only recognizes Netflix or Hulu to pull up shows so yes a lazy thing for sure but i have to access everything else manually on my phone, tablet, etc and the second thing is i wish the menu screens of the apps would display on the TV as well and not just whatever you pick. My husband and I usually love to browse and look for what to watch together but now its a bit harder to do on just one of our phones. Besides that we absolutely love it!

I bought this to upgrade a first gen 2013 chromecast that was performing slowly and the current model is much quicker. I wish it paired to bluetooth speakers, but for the money it's a nice placeholder until I upgrade to a smart tv

I bought this so that I could stream my doorbell to a display mounted behind the door. I created a new routine on the google home hub so that when I say doorbell, the chromecast displays my doorbell feed. Works great!

I have the first generation Chromecast and needed one for the basement tv. It was easy to plug in and started to use it immediately
