Chromecast is an awesome product

Verified Purchase:Yes
This small device connected to the TV is in constant use in our home. We cut the cord and use multiple streaming services now (still save money each month and have more content). The Chromecast makes watching content form all sorts of apps very easy.
Pros:
The setup was quick and painless. (except minor issue see cons)
The quality of video and sound is great.
Reduces clutter as it is tiny and hidden behind the TV

Cons:
Did not connect on 5ghz until I made changes to my wifi router settings (has to be 20hz not 40hz channel width)
Hotel Network connection (or others were a web browser is required) is not possible. Google needs to create some kind of basic browser to allow the validation.

Note - make sure you understand this device is not stand alone like a Roku or Fire TV it requires a smart phone, tablet, or computer to "Cast" to it.
