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.

    Can't tell if it really streams 4k or not but I still love it. With google assitant, it makes playing videos on my TV so easy. I just need to voice command.

    Easy to cast videos and quality of video is also superb. Only disadvantage is that it won't work with usb input needs external power.

    Works good. I think a tad expensive for what it is since there are better products out there. The sound sometimes goes out of sync.

    Like the ease of getting into Netflix with this!! The big drawback has been using it in motels & contending with firewalls.

    Excellent upgrade for 4K TVs

    I have a 1st generation Chromecast and decided it was time to upgrade when I learned they would no longer be supported. One of the many things that I love about the Chromecast is that I can add it to a home group to play music throughout my house in various rooms. A downside I've noticed is that the audio isn't in sync with my Chromecast audios in the home group. Hopefully, there's a way to correct that; I just haven't invested any time yet to find a solution.

    I find that it sometimes lags. I'd rather have it built into the tv such as a visio tv. But this helps to stream from my phone to my tv.

    I received this for Christmas and did a little research before even opening the package. I really only wanted access to some basic apps that I cannot load to my current smart TV. I was disappointed that I could not use it for a particular streaming service I really wanted. I was going to have to basically mirror stream from my computer. I gave it an average rating because from what I read it does perform well, but I didn't open it because it wouldn't do what I wanted it for.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    For the most park seamlessl streaming. Make sure your pc/laptop meets min requirements. Failure to do so seems to interrupt the stream.

    I wanted best performance for streaming live TV. I had the chromecast setup in a few minutes and was viewing Live TV shortly after that.
