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.

    Not worth it, just get a modern TV that has it built in. Leave those HDMI ports free

    We determined that we liked the Roku better because of the interface.

    As much as I love Android and Google this streaming device is not that good. The fact that i have to stream from my phone or other device is not as effective as pointing a remote and clicking a desired channel. Its not for me. Therefore it was returned. ..

    Worked fine for the first year or so. I have purchased 3 of these in the last 2 years, but 2 of 3 began to freeze up after 45 - 60 min of use. I have to power cycle it to resolve the issue until it freezes again shortly after. Not buying any more of these!

    I went into store to buy a TCL TV. Was told by clerk that I needed this product to display from cell phone to TV. But this was not the case. I did not need any device. So it was a waste of money.

    I bought this to cast a PowerPoint presentation from my laptop to a big screen tv for a class I was teaching. Worthless!!!! To do that you have to have a really powerful internet and not a lot of people sharing it.

    Just meh...so not a fan of chromecast. All of my mobile products are Apple, so I went with Apple TV after returning this chromcast. Keep that in mind. Android user, then yes stick with your google backed products. Lesson learned.

    Requires an overly strong signal. Xbox, Laptop, and all other devices worked without issue streaming while chromecast failed horribly. The device would not work in my vehicle HDMI slot either which was the primary reason for purchase.

    On set up then it does not find to operate, then works fine then disconnects. Bad how to instructions in box and online too many Apps not sure what to use. At this time not sure if I would recommend it until I get it working properly.

    I may not have done enough research, but I didn't spot that a lot of these apps (Chrome itself, for god's sake) are not cast-able from Apple products which made this kind of useless to me. Returned it immediately.

    saved yourself the trouble and don't buy it. Device plays YouTube videos and Netflix like it was 2010. Got a Roku instead. Probably only good for PowerPoint presentations.

    Bought the Ultra to cast 4k pictures from my phone to the TV... It won't do it... My TV does just about everything else without the Chromecast, so no reason to keep it - it has been returned.
