Thank you, plan to use in a bedroom. My main device us a 4k max in media room. Looking to move totally away from firestick, too many restrictions.
Already a topicā¦ please watch for that before posting. Also that post takes me to your Twitter loginā¦ im going to remove it for safety.

Itās a decent little streamer box, not the best, not the worst. Itās biggest attraction is the price, which I donāt think you will find anything cheaper retail-wise. Under $20 is hard to beat.

If you want something just a tad better I might suggest looking at say MeCool KM2 + . Sort of the half way point between Onn and Shield Pro.

Good suggestion. Solid performer. But around 70 dollars I think? Or is the plus a little more? Just took a quick look, the plus is somewhere in the $90 range. For USA.
Not sure on the +. I got my MeCool KM2 from china. Took about 6 weeks to get here. My cost was around $120 cdn if I remember correctly. But that included import fees for me as well. I think the base price was $80.

T95Z Plus āCheap Chinaā Boxes for the win!
Please remember, you arenāt learning to just sideload a 4k max. You are learning to sideload an Android device. If you can do one, you can do others. Itās like saying when you learn to drive a Ford, you can drive a Chevrolet or a Toyota. Ugoos, MeCool and Amazon are ALL just Android devices. You Go Girl!

BigDave,
Guess I must change my way of thinking. Thank you for your support and encouragement. Just watched the mecool km2 Troypoint video. I don 't care for the white color. Lol 
, I know Iām being a girl about the color. I really perfer black or dark color devices.
If you get one try the JioPages browser from the Google Play store.
Easy to use.

Think I might just spend the extra money and get the Shield. Must research which version to get. Hoping a family member will get it for me as a bday or christmas gift.

I was nervous too when I was debating the Buzz x5. I took the plunge and continue to read and reread everything on here and now I feel comfortable with it . Plus I know where to go if I get stuck.

You might want to call ahead to the USA Walmart before you pop over the border. They arenāt available online yet, so I figure the supply might be limited and the demand relatively high.
Yep. Hard to beat $60 I paid for KM1 Deluxe (4, 32) as far as mb bang for the buck (sale + promo code).

Oh I would not go there just for that. We usually go to Niagara Falls yearly and sometimes twice just for a night away. Last year, we stayed on the Canadian side and crossed over because the bridge was not backed up but the USA side is also not out of the question, it all depends on the prices of the hotels as the exchange sucks right now. Still a USA hotel, there are a few we know could still be better priced.

if you can sideload a firestick you can do a nvidiaā¦ they even have the playstore to help get downloader easier.
ask your friend to sideload something you put on a firestick so you can see how simple it is

Think I will take the plunge later this year. I be sure to share my experience with our Insider community. Excited and nervous about learning a new device.
