I've had a 1st generation Chromecast for many years now, and the refurbished 3rd generation one I received definitely lives up to its legacy. Other than a more attractive form factor I can't say I've noticed any significant difference between the two, but there was nothing really wrong with the 1st gen models, anyway. I have an Amazon Fire Stick as well, and I find them both easy to use and totally capable of mirroring my phone screen, bringing up photos on the TV, and casting from apps like YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, etc.

The Chromecast is about the size of a cookie - it's very minimal, and can be powered by the USB port on your TV, or optional included plug adapter. Set-up is very intuitive - it took five minutes. There is no remote to keep track of. You "cast" videos, music, and other content from your phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop (even non-Google products). Casting is flawless, hardly uses any data, and after casting for six full hours from my iPad the other day, my battery went from 100% to 96%. While casting a show, you can use your device normally, and it doesn't affect the video at all. You can close your laptop, talk on the phone, text, etc, and the streaming will continue (until you stop it.) You can cast from the other end of the house to a family member's TV, and it's like watching a brand-new DVD. And this is not even the latest generation of the Chromecast. This is their 3rd Generation product. As an added bonus, the 3rd Generation Chromecast is less than $30 right now. If you even thought about getting one, and you have an older TV / non-smart TV, you absolutely should purchase a Google Chromecast. Read full review

Got to be one of the best values in streaming devices. Works very well for the money and is well designed and integrated into the Android platform. It has been working great since the first generation one that came out about or 9 years ago and now seems to be even more solid.

It was not the easiest to set up but not really that hard either. I wasn't able to set it up with a PC as I did in the past. I needed to download the Google Home app to my phone and tablet. I have 2 Chromecasts (one new and the other 2 yrs older) and operate them on the less crowded 5 GHz WiFi band but with the Google Home app, I can control them with my old tablet which only operates on 2.4 GHz WiFi! I use a Roku streaming box for most of my streaming as it operates much like a cable box. I use the Chromecast for content not available on Roku and for mirroring my computer screen. I purchased my latest one to watch Catholic Mass broadcast on Facebook. It works great with Chromebooks and smartphones. If you only want one streaming device and am willing to control it with a smartphone, tablet, or Chromebook, the Chromecast is a great choice!Read full review
