Whatever you buy, when it comes to buying online, there are a number of things that you should always consider. That pretty much goes for any product, but we want to highlight these as they are particularly important when it comes to shopping for products in the Smart TV boxes category. Follow these tips and you’re sure to find the best product for your needs, whether that may be Google Chromecast or perhaps an alternative.

Price and budget

The actual price of the product that you choose is of course one of the most vital aspects of choosing the right product, we will go into that in more detail in just a moment.

For now I’d like to touch upon budgeting. Setting yourself a budget before getting too deeply involved in your shopping online is one of the best pieces of advice we can give. It’s very important to do this, because it’s all too easy to get carried away and choosing a product that offers those little extra features but spending a lot more than we could or should have spent.

Set yourself a budget and make sure you stick to it. We often recommend that when you’re using shops like argos.co.uk to use their price filters so that you’re not tempted into spending more.

Price is then of course the second part of this tip, and the advice here is to take the time to really study the price of Google Chromecast against other products in the Smart TV boxes category. To help you with that, we’ve run some analysis for you.

To start our price analysis we searched the web to look for the best prices for Google Chromecast, in our search the cheapest we found it was from argos.co.uk where it was available for just £20.00. This is below average of all of the 18 products in the Smart TV boxes category. The average of all products was actually £65.27. Whilst the most expensive product we were able to find in this category was £199.00 and the cheapest came in at just £19.99.

The next level of our price analysis was to look at the price you can expect to pay for products from the brand Google. Which interestingly the average price was actually £501.75, and the lowest price was £19.00 with the highest being £1699.99 of the 24 products they offer.

However that did highlight that if Google were offering products in a variety of categories then that’s not a fair comparison to use the average prices for all their products. So we went a step further and looked at the average prices of Google products but specifically in the Smart TV boxes category, of which there were 2 products. Google Chromecast actually came in below average against the average, which was £44.50. Then to give you an idea of how much the prices vary for Google products in the Smart TV boxes category, they varied from £20.00 up to £69.00.
Review of Google Chromecast

Reviews

Next up, Google Chromecast Reviews. Reviews are one of the most valuable pieces of research we can do if we’re planning to buy online. Reading reviews gives us a real insight into a product, from a genuine customer, which helps us to learn things about the product that we are otherwise unable to see for ourselves when shopping online.

So we really encourage you to spend a decent amount of times reading through the reviews of Google Chromecast to get a really good idea of how good the product is and how likely it is to meet your needs.

Quality

Quality is another important element when shopping for a new product, particularly if you’re looking for products like Smart TV boxes. However it’s really worth setting your expectations and needs right up-front so that you’re not expecting the world’s best quality products from the cheapest products in the range.

To get a good idea of the quality of Google Chromecast, the reviews you read will be really important. There are of course other ways to get a good idea. For example you can look at the specifications and features section of the product description, which should give you an indication of the sort of quality you can expect from the product.

Brand

Another consideration under quality is the brand. Some brands are of course well known for delivering exceptional quality, and likewise some are known for poor quality. Stick to the brands that you know, such as Google, which you know will deliver an excellent quality item.

Seller

All too often, we see incredible deals for products like Google Chromecast. And they seem to be so cheap that it’s almost too good to be true. In most cases these are from sellers that you and we have never heard of. Trust your instinct, when a deal seems too good to be true, and isn’t from a seller that you recognise, it probably is too good to be true.

Stick to sellers that you know and trust. Sellers like argos.co.uk have built up their reputation for offering excellent service, returns, products and prices. You know you’re going to be getting a good deal from them.

Returns Policy

One of our final pieces of advice for your shopping is to check out the returns policy offered by the retailer, this can make quite a significant difference to your purchase decision, or at least who you buy from. Many retailers offer a really simple returns process which definitely helps give you that extra peace of mind.

If you do then find that Google Chromecast isn’t exactly as you thought it would be, you can easily return it.

The other element of the returns process that is worth reviewing is the warranty/guarantee offered by the retailer should your product develop a fault. Again it’s going to be worth you spending the time to look at any information you can find on the warranty or returns process so that you know that you’ve got the confidence that you aren’t going to be out of pocket if it’s faulty. Of course there are some statutory rights, so it may be that you’re covered already but again you’d need to look at this information as factor it into your purchase decision.
