Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the Chromecast's ease of use, streaming capabilities, and picture quality. Many appreciate its affordability and the ability to transform a standard TV into a smart TV. However, some users experienced connectivity issues, and the lack of a physical remote control was a common point of feedback. The small size and generally positive performance were also frequently noted.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Like this device, use it to cast my TV apps from my phone or Chromebook screen when I need an extra screen while working. Hides very well behind my 55" tv.

    I use this mainly to cast my Oculus Quest to the TV with HDMI, so we can see what's going on in the game/video. Works fine. You can cast other things, but I haven't done that much. Nice inexpensive option for casting, etc.

    Great price and picture quality. I was going to get a more expensive one but I asked questions and the sales guy said you'll be fine with this one. Not only did he save me money but his honestly bought my loyalty here. I will be back.

    Created Smart Mirror with it

    I bought this as an alternative to using Raspberry Pi for a smart mirror - and it's great. For $30 you can stream any computer or mobile device to your TV and control the sound and playback. It's not a Roku or Apple TV or Fire TV which manages your 'stations' and such. It just lets you Stream Cast (or ChromeCast) whatever device you have to the ChromeCast (provided the device supports chromecasting - all Google Chrome browsers do and most mobile apps do). Love it. Worked first time out of the box and very easy to set up. Innovative and simple. It probably should cost 33%-50% less. But $30 is not bad.

    The micro-sized booklet did not need much information because there were only three steps to follow, with pictures. As for having to have the information on my iPhone to appear on a big screen, I only have to click on the Cast icon.

    The Chromecast dongle is super easy to use and has made movie night a regular event in our house. The ease of streaming from my phone or I pad along with voice control from google home makes this a fun toy.

    What a handy little gadget for those of us who are looking to dabble our toes in the smart world without getting drenched! This was the greatest thing about upgrading to a flat screen TV!! We are a Google house so this was certainly a MUST HAVE!! Simply plug it in and follow the prompts and within minutes you are watching your Google photos on the BIG SCREEN! We love to watch movies and shows thru various TV apps, and you can control it thru your Google Home with your voice. For those of us that don't want to get bogged down with too much tech in our homes... this is the answer!!!

    Love this thing. I stream almost everything through it. Highly recommended for those who can't afford smart TV's. Would've been five star but not all streaming services will work with it.

    Great Value, ordered for Oculus

    Originally bought it to use for my oculus, but ended up being more useful. My smart TV was from 2017 which means it is not compatible with HBO Max, having a ChromeCast on it allows me to stream HBOMax on it by casting the App on my phone. Overall very useful, and definitely an essential if you want to use your VR headset with the group of friends.
