A little unclear why I had not had it before. A very good product. Broad support for many video services. Very stable. Easy to use. If you notice something, maybe it may be a little confusing that it will continue to play even if you quit the streaming app on your phone.
Google Chromecasts
Google products are generally pretty reliable and usable. This product is no exceptions. Simple to use. Could use a little more integration to other services like Roku offers.- cost when on sale
- integration with google home
- limited content
Cutting the cord
This is the third one I have bought and it is a great product. This made cutting the cord much easier. We stream Netflix, Hulu and use YouTube TV instead of the cable.
Google Chromecast 2
At Rs. 3,399, the Chromecast 2 is a good buy, as long as you're streaming a lot of content from your smartphone. The performance is better than its predecessor, and it can turn your dumb old TV into a smarter one. You may not want to go back to watching traditional TV once you've used this.- Good design
- Smooth streaming experience
- Easy to set up and use
- Well designed app and UI
- Mirroring smartphone display can get buggy for games and some apps
Use this small HDMI dongle to get YouTube and other Google content onto the big screen

- Best suited for streaming YouTube content to a TV
- Not a good solution for streaming locally stored video files

When Google first announced the Chromecast -- its answer to Apple TV -- last July, the internet went wild for it. It was cheap, compatible with iOS and Android, and offered really cool mirroring capabilities.- Ease of setup
- discreet design
- no need for an extra remote
- price
- Poor selection of compatible apps
Review: Google Chromecast
There's this thing Netflix does after you've watched three episodes of something in a row. You might have seen it before. You're just finally settled in, a you-shaped dent is forming in the couch, and a little message pops up: "Are you still watching? Press play if so.- Chromecast is just absurdly easy to set up
- There's a lot of stuff to watch here
- The new app makes finding all that stuff much, much easier
- Your phone isn't always a very good remote
- No 4K, no Amazon
The Google Chromecast isn't many things – it really just is a receiver for an HDMI TV. Read more here:
- Compact
- Simple to set up and use
- Affordable
- Good picture quality
- Requires companion device
- Fairly limited in its current form
Don't Buy!
Terrible product. I have tried to connect to my network multiple ways. Second one that I have had. First one was completely unreliable, connects and then does not connect, requiring constant resetting. This second one just won't connect. Tried everything.
