I always wondered what a refurbished product was worth the money spent. The Chromecast worked perfectly. Worth every penny and the price was discounted.

The Google Chromecast works very well, but I think I would prefer a dedicated remote rather than having to use a tablet or phone.

The Google Chromecast is a great product. It allows you to cast videos from your mobile device. The only drawback is that there's no remote control. It's easy to use quick to set up.

The Chromecast is limited in what it can/can't do. Overall it's a mediocre way to connect to your display; the price makes it an okay choice.

My grandson 11 years old installed it for me. It works fine using my cell phone to turn it on the tv in our bedroom. I love it and it was such a modest purchase.

I bought 3 actually, 1 each for different TV set. Easy to set up and to use, the only disadvantage is that you can only use them with a chrome browser.

Has Potential, But A Long Way To Go

While ChromeCast is a sweet little device, there are drawbacks.
First, the interface does not allow you to drill down genre, leaving you to scan through too many program offerings (or listings).
Secondly, the device itself seems to lose its selected viewing, and go back to a default program. This means you have to re-select, and start viewing all over again.
Still though, for the $35 or so ($20 on sale), it is a worthwhile investment and gives us another avenue to online viewing.

Took a bit to figure out to install it, after that it was a breeze. You can view all your shows on your computer to your big screen! The only issue is the picture on big screen is a little darker, others have mentioned this too. Has a dedicated phone support line which is nice!

Using this product there are times it just won't hook up, it may have the same settings and be using the same system to broadcast and it won't go, and then after a time (hour or day) it'll start working. I haven't figured out the whys to it yet
