If you only use WiFi connection, then it's easy and you probably don't notice a very confusing limitation. This is why I only gave it a 3-star rating. I generally prefer using hard-wired ethernet whenever possible: simple plug-and-play (no passcode), secured (only use physical connection), and...

I already have an Amazon fire stick and I though that this will be a good addition. Well, wrong. This device does not allow to install any standalone apps to be installed like Fire do. This is ONLY for streaming from your phone and selection of apps is very limited.

More stable I would say than the original chromecast. I had some intention to buy this for better picture and 4K ability but this actually has a better connection to my wifi than the original chromecast 2nd gen. For all of those who keep loosing signal this could be the answer.

This product has transformed my old TV into a smart TV. Great for you tube tutorials. Easy to use. I recommend this product.

I specifically created a costco online account so that I can share my dismay at this garbage product. I give zero stars, not one. Firat of all, you need to buy a subscription from google to be able to cast from your mobile devices.

Streaming from your phone in 4K

Excellent cast quality, 4K HDR10 and Dolby Vision support, Simple setup

Needs more 4K support, Amazon and Apple missing, Slightly expensive

"My daughter has a learning disability and so can't turn her TV to the correct Channel! She can now ask her google to watch anything on Netflix or Amazon! Fabulous!"

I tried fo 28 days to get this item to work. About 2 weeks elapsed time with the VIDEOSTREAM and CHROME HELP STAFF could not fix the problem. I have had the original CHROMECAST device for 2 years and it works great.

Love Chromecast. It's a tool we use everyday to share videos and music to our TV. It has truly become an indespensible part of our entertainment toolbox.

The Chromecast is an incredibly neat little gadget that allows you to watch almost all of your favourite steaming and catch-up services. It’s incredibly simple to use, clutter-free and comes with a bargain price tag The omission of Amazon Prime Video is exasperating but inevitable so we can’t really fault Google for that. The lack of a physical remote control will also be divisive. While using your smartphone as a remote is a slick experience, it’s no good if your phone’s battery is dead or you want to have it sitting on your charger while you relax in front of the TV. If you’ve already got the 2nd-gen Chromecast there’s little point in upgrading to the new model. But if you’re a Chromecast rookie or you’re still using the original model, then it’s 30 quid well spent.
