About Google Chromecast - Streaming Device with HDMI Cable
Overall Feedback:
83% positive
77% appreciated the connectivity options, but 23% wished more
I faced connectivity issues while using the device and the solutions provided by the support team did not work.
The device was supposed to work without wifi, but it did not work as expected.
The product directed me to a pay for service website and asked for a credit card number, which is not genuine chromecast dongle behavior.
72% liked the remote control, but 28% didn't
I found the inbuilt casting feature of my Vizio Smart TV to be buggy and nearly unusable. However, it's night and day better using this product.
The lack of a remote control is a major drawback for me and I will not be purchasing the item again.
It was difficult for me to control the streaming media player remotely and the provided solutions did not work.
I had a similar product in the past which worked perfectly fine but did not allow me to pair with my phone to the TV.

83% praised the streaming options, but 17% didn't
I found that the device provides a clearer streaming experience for Amazon prime movies compared to streaming through the monitor itself.
This version doesn't work with hotel Wi-Fi login screens and is super slow. It took forever to connect to my phone hotspot and the streaming from my iPhone kept not working.
The product directs you to a scam website that asks for your credit card number.
I was only given two solutions - move the wifi modem closer or try opening the casting page in an incognito screen - but neither worked.
85% liked the intuitive user interface, but 15% found it cluttered
After connecting to the internet, I noticed that the device booted up in Spanish but changed to English.
Everything being in Spanish was not an issue for me.
I suggest that the device may only work on Google TV.
72% found the voice control convenient, but 28% faced issues
It was easy to set up the device and add it to the Google Home app.
Movies stream much clearer through this device compared to the monitor itself.
My Vizio Smart TV's inbuilt casting feature is buggy and nearly unusable.
