Bestsellers: Google Chromecast

PublishedJune 11, 2015

Google’s Chromecast was the first serious entry in the streaming stick category. With a low price tag, consistently great deals and bundle offers from day one, and continued support from Google, the Chromecast has become the streaming device that the average person actually knows about, and the most popular product we’ve ever listed, taking first place in 2013 and fourth in 2014.

The Chromecast was also a top five contender in Lifehacker’s Best Streaming Set-Top Box Hive Five.
