Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the Chromecast Ultra's ease of use, excellent picture quality, and impressive 4K streaming capabilities. Many appreciate its straightforward setup and generally positive performance. However, some users mention the relatively high price point and the lack of a dedicated remote control as drawbacks. A few also noted occasional lag or heat issues.

      We appreciate you for letting us know what's going on with your Chromecast Ultra. We're sorry to hear you're experiencing a connectivity issue.

    I purchased two of these and one works great and the other works consistently with my laptops but inconsistently with everything else (iPhone, Galaxy S8 and iPad). I have reset and rebooted the device numerous times. I've done the setup a couple dozen times. I rebooted my router. At this point, I'm over it.

    Bought the item for my vehicle and it would not display properly. It requires a very strong signal to work correctly as well. I could not get it to update correctly in the house when all my other WiFi hardware worked fine. Not a fan...too bad I was hoping to replace apple TVs with Google products.

    I don't understand all the 5 star reviews for Chromecast. Sure it's a way to cast content off your phone but don't understand the hype. There are far better solutions out there. Build quality looks solid, nice that you could hardwire to your network vs using wifi. I returned

    I reviewed the non 4K version and that one is good, but this thing is just a waste of money. I never get 4K resolution with Netflix, barely 1080p and it has nothing to do with my internet connection because my other streamer devices give me full 4K resolutions.
