Gets the job done for mobile phones, but buggy compared to original Chromecast
If you want something to mirror your phone to a big screen very fast and easily, this is it. It connects via Miracast in about 3 seconds and there is very minimal lag. It's fine for pulling up YouTube or your Photos app on your phone etc.Connecting the device to WIFI is trivial, but is kinda pointless, as this is incompatible with the Google Home app. It just doesn't work properly. I could get google Photos to work as a casting app, but not YouTube, Netflix, BBC iPlayer, Spotify etc.Connecting via a wireless display with Windows does work, but the lag for me was far greater (and noticeable) when compared to using my Android device, which is a bit odd.On the whole, I'd probably suggest going with the Chromecast when it's on offer for greater reliability.

Might be OK for desk work, hopeless for streaming
You'd expect a thing like this to work seamlessly. Connecting it to the home wifi is easy. Connecting it to anything else is harder, but OK if you ignore the instructions, which are not well translated, and just figure it out from your other device (call it "cast" or "wireless display"). But once I did get it working, the performance is so poor as to be unusuable. It might be OK for powerpoint but you can't stream video either from a phone or a laptop - you can get sound, but as soon as you try to get picture everything stops. Not for video streaming.

Save your money
The installation process was quite complicated and I kept the instructions manual with me for the future in case I need to set it up again. The connection felt unstable and the picture quality kept getting worse and worse, what seemed to help a little bit was keeping my phone close to the device rather than from my bed at 2-3 meters distance from the TV. I cannot recommend you enough not to purchase this cheap knockoff of chrome cast.

Requires a great deal of input to set up
Can't set it up. You have to download an app from a Chinese website to get this running. It's not easy. I've never used it as the set up was so tricky. They have you watching home made you tube videos to get it started. I gave up and just bought a chrome cast. I'm sure if you persevered it would be fine, but I have no way of knowing.

Did not work for me, sent it back
I could only get this to screen mirror from my phone and it kept freezing, the picture was very pixelated, and it wasn't the brand that I ordered. I recieved a BD ice King and not Asenter, have sent back for a refund and purchased a Google chromecast from elsewhere which is easy to install and works brilliantly.

Phone to TV sender (receiver)
Easy to set up and works fine. Virtually turns your phone into a remote. Watch everything you want to what's on you're phone 📱

Awful item
Awful, absolutely awful item. Overly complicated installation and not trustworthy in my opinion as it takes you to a website through the TV to stream rather than the actual TV!Avoid

Poor quality and likely paid reviews.
Instructions had a few typos. The video guide was difficult to understand. More expensive than office casters (my mum bought this one). Overall bad product, I’m going to get a new one from google themselves.Also, the other reviews are a bit sketchy as they are both 5* for a poor product and they were submitted on the same weekend.Thanks
