Even though it was a gift, this device was testing for a while and, frankly, it was quite a discovery that I ended up taking for myself. Don’t judge me. This model that I still have is not the 4k model, but, since the need had not been covered, it was the one that I finally gave away and the difference is very interesting.
The television that this device primarily needed is an older model, although it has a WiFi network and you can watch any streaming platform without problems, being an older model, it is very noticeable that neither fluidity nor accessibility are on its side. That’s why we had one thing clear: we needed a Chromecast.
I was able to buy the first model on sale a long time ago, but if you still don’t have one, I would recommend that you put aside the older models and go for the 4k model without any doubt, since the viewing experience is better . Next, I will tell you My personal experience with this product, the options of different users and where to buy it.
What is the Chromecast device
First of all, you have to know specifically what is this productsince the same thing may happen to you as it did to me and you only knew four things about him, and it will surely surprise you for the better.

My personal opinion
Definitely,I would recommend this product? Yes, a thousand times yes. The reasons are more than obvious after everything stated above: on the same device you can have countless series, movies and applications at your fingertips at a good price.
What I like the most is the order that you will have without the need to jump between applications and all the time that that entails, especially if it is an old television.
Something that personally tests my patience is searching for something through your keyboard, that is, typing letter by letter with the remote control. This is quickly solved because you can send it to search for something with just a simple voice command. Believe me, it will save you a lot of time.
Another positive point that I want to highlight, even if it is not in my case, is that it is very intuitive even for people who are not used to technology. For example, my mother has not had any problems with it and she has known how to move perfectly. What’s more, she would say that it has even helped her, since before she didn’t know how to switch and search for each application. Therefore, it can be a great gift for your elders and help them with a product that will surely make their daily lives easier.
