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.

    I was hesitant to buy a chromecast, but it works amazing, and actually prefer it over other streaming devices.

    I have this and an Amazon Fire Stick. I like Chromecast for the capability to display content from portables (phone, tablet) which makes it possible to display some things like live streaming from my cable provider's app which the Fire Stick doesn't support. The Fire Stick has apps loaded on it and you can only load what Amazon provides (e.g., they provide the Netflix app but not my cable provider's app). The Fire Stick has the capability to mirror what's on a phone, but that feature certainly doesn't work with my phone (Samsung).

    I have a Chromecast from a few years ago which worked pretty well, but the Chromecast Ultra is far superior. The ability to plug it in to a wired network is great. I have not experienced any buffering or pixelation so far. Not having to rely on wifi is a huge advantage.

    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.

    Fast and easy streaming, self explanatory set up, and in my opinion safer and more efficient than using smart tv built-in streaming apps.

    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.
