Great to view photos on a larger screen

It took a couple of attempts to set up but that was really because I’m new to this kind of device and was unfamiliar with the apps needed to make it work. Knowledge of which hdmi to select on the tv is also necessary. However once I had all the information it was really easy to set up and was working within about half an hour. It works well, is easy to use and I am very pleased with it.Read full review

I love them cast things. Simple to use, and very versatile.

It's a great product. Have not actually used 3rd gen much but can definitely recommend chromecast devices as always used them since they came out. Even recommended the company where i work to adopt this to have dashboards shown on screens on a secure wifi network.
It plays spotify, your usual bbc, itvplayer, youtube and many more. You can actually even mirror the display from your phone or computer and use your TV as an external bigger screen.

Very useful item for £30

Product works better than I expected. It was easy to set up and the picture quality is superb when streaming from BBC I Player or Youtube. Other services are also supported but I haven't tried them yet.Read full review

Not good for what I wanted it for,but easy to set up and good less complex connections

It may be that that is to do with my kit, but it did not work well with two music steaming services connected though my mobile to my smart tv and then through to my HiFi.. I had to use an HDMI cable connected to my laptop to get a satisfactory response. Good for simpler connections eg to world wide radio stations or NTathome. . Read full review

Chrome cast 3rd Gen breathes new life into old dumb projector.

I bought this to connect to an old Phillips Picopix led projector in lieu of a TV upstairs. It all worked brilliantly. WiFi reception on the Chromecast is excellent, even in places where other hardware struggles. I also bought short HDMI and USB adapters so the Chromecast full size HDMI plug and USB micro sockets could use the projectors mini HDMI and mini USB sockets. The Chrome does need power via its micro USB slot, but didn't draw very much so happily sits connected to the projector for both power and video output, so it's a really compact solution with only 1 power supply cable running up the wall. Setup was really easy (I already have Google Home up and running) and I'd sorted my router settings when trying to get other smart equipment running. I was up and running with a smart tv/projector in about 15 minutes, excellent!Read full review

Works well but be careful of WIFI signal if not good then it not work

It was simple to set up bit the wifi signal at the property I was trying to set it up was not so great but we managed.
It will not always set up so easy depending on the WIFI connection

My Best purchase this year!!

This little gadget has changed my life! No arguing over who watches what on which App on the Smart TV anymore. The TV in the bedroom is now ‘Smart’ and I can watch whatever I want via the apps on my Smartphone. Easy to fit and set up 👍Read full review

Does the job and easy to set up. Looks quite neat too!

I had to sort out my sisters inability to watch streamed content on youtube and iplayer during lockdown remotely. She is not great on technology but was shielding so I couldn't do it for her.. Even though Ive never actually seen a chromecast or the Home app We were able to get her all set up with me 300 miles away which is a real endorsement of the product, the online guidance and the design. Oh, and it worked perfectly almost immediately.Read full review

Chromecast.

Excellent product, purchased initially to cast my photos from smart phone 📱 to tv, but now learning other features. Easy enough to connect and understand, it comes highly recommended 👍 🤗

Should have bought long ago!

I was having trouble with ITV hub not playing shows on my Samsung Smart TV. Someone suggested a Chromecast, well it was so cheap at Toolstation it seemed a good idea!
It was as so easy to setup and use, even for a 66 year old techno phone!
I have used it for many things cast from my phone and Chromebook and it's been great! Buy one, you won't regret it.
