Best TV Boxes of 2025

“I bought this to replace my 4K Max Fire TV Stick. I wanted the cube for its ethernet port and I must say, this thing is fast! The network port is only 100mbps, but for day-to-day streaming, it outperforms my Wi-Fi. I never experience buffering now, and the extra memory makes navigating so much smoother. Although it was four times the price, I believe it’s worth it since I won’t have to replace it every year like the fire sticks.”

“As someone who owns multiple Fire TVs, I have to say the 3rd Gen Fire TV Cube is by far the best. Setting it up was a breeze, and the premium aesthetics it brings are fantastic. The speed of navigation is incredible, and buffering is nearly non-existent. I can seamlessly switch between devices using voice commands, and Alexa works flawlessly. My only minor issue is the Direct TV hotkey, which I don't use, but overall, I highly recommend this Cube for your main viewing area.”

"I was pleasantly surprised by this product. It turned my old TV into a smart device effortlessly. I can now access YouTube, Prime, and Netflix easily. The live TV feature adds entertainment value, and I highly recommend it for anyone with a non-smart TV."

"At 67 years old, I dread setups, but this Roku was incredibly simple to install in my basement sewing area. It worked perfectly with my WiFi and offers a variety of free TV apps. Just perfect!"

"I bought this for my mom to replace her old Roku. She was frustrated with her previous device, but this one works flawlessly according to her. She managed to set it up alone, confirming its ease of use. A great purchase overall!"

“I found the setup to be very easy, and I could see everything I bought right away. With the stableiptv subscription, I gained access to thousands of items. The picture quality is very clear! The only minor issue I've noticed is that the volume control on the unit is a bit low, so I often need to use two remotes.”

“This is an amazing product that works perfectly fine and provides a great source of entertainment.”

“I would give this product 0 STARS if possible. I bought it on December 30th, and by February 15th, it stopped working. The box freezes, the screen sometimes turns black, and it fails to connect to the internet. I often have to reboot the inner portal or restart the entire box 10 times just to watch a video for a few minutes before the same problems occur. Seriously, if you're considering this, I suggest you get a different product.”

"I bought this product to play Brawl Stars, but found out the game isn’t available on my device. However, it has a wide range of features that I appreciate for my tech projects. I eventually figured out how to cast the game from my iPhone without a third-party app, and the streaming is seamless. It serves my original purpose while being a versatile and powerful device. The only downside is the hardware feels cheap, but the software is impressively robust. It’s like a car that looks basic but has the power of a Mustang under the hood."

"My main issue with this product is the outdated Google apps that don't update, making it feel stuck in the 90s. Other than that, everything else is just okay. The Internet access is limited, only allowing me to access the Google homepage, which makes it frustrating to navigate. Overall, it feels like second-rate programming to me."

"I found this box to be one of the best devices I've worked with. It comes ready for developers, and adding channels or apps is a breeze. The storage is perfect for my needs. However, I did face a little challenge connecting to my WiFi, but it still does what I need. I think it might be because of my 5.8 GHz WiFi connection, as most of these devices only support 5.0 GHz."

"The setup was a breeze, and I noticed a big improvement over my previous device."

"Bluetooth and WiFi are working again, thanks to the latest system update. Streaming has greatly improved, although I still have issues with some YouTube videos."

"Casting from my phone is problematic; it doesn't recognize the device despite being on the same network. Plus, the quality of the materials feels cheap for the price."

"I bought this device to use Kodi on my 4K TV, but although the box settings show 4K resolution, it only displays in 1080p when using Kodi. My Wi-Fi is supposed to be Wi-Fi 6, but I only get 15 mbps down. Meanwhile, my laptop connected to the same gateway achieves 120 mbps. The app loading times are also frustrating; I often have to wait 5 seconds to click the next option."

"This product lacks clear instructions on how to connect and use it. I believe the company should provide better information to help users."

"Honestly, I don't think this device has Wi-Fi 6. It barely reaches 60 mbps while my other devices get 500-900 mbps from the same spot. Plus, I can't use two Bluetooth devices simultaneously without audio lag. The device is incredibly slow; streaming web videos leads to constant buffering. I would suggest buying an Android phone instead and connecting it to the TV with a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard."

"I found this box very easy to use and its compact design fits perfectly anywhere. I've had a similar product for a year, but this one is much nicer and more affordable."

"Honestly, I was just looking for something to play my movies offline. It handles everything from 720p to 1080p surprisingly well, even on my old plasma TV. However, it recently stopped booting up, which seems to be a common issue with these boxes. I just wish I had a laptop for the firmware update!"

"After reading reviews about issues with Google Pay, I was a bit worried. But I had no problems activating Google Play services and downloaded all the apps I needed. My TV box works perfectly and I'm really happy with the low cost. The only minor issue has been the remote control, which isn't very user-friendly, but installing a mouse made a world of difference."

"This is a great box! I found fantastic info about it from Mr. Junkman on YouTube."

"I wanted to switch from Fire TV to this box, but it turned into a nightmare. My TV performance slowed down. The remote isn't very helpful; finding apps like Netflix is a hassle. I had to use my mouse, but the picture wouldn't show up!"

"I had two experiences with this product. The first box couldn't connect to my home Wi-Fi, and the second one didn't work with the external power supply. I can't comment on other features."

"I received a box that does nothing. It takes forever to update and show the correct time, and I can't download any apps, including Kodi. I'm extremely disappointed!"

"This product never worked for me. The HDMI port doesn't display anything, despite trying multiple cables that work on other devices. I contacted Amazon support and received a refund. Total waste of time ordering this."

"I bought six of these boxes, and three of them have issues. I contacted the seller, and they suggested cleaning the HDMI cords, but they were new and not rusty. The other three boxes work fine, but I'm still waiting to see if they'll replace the bad ones."

"This is the worst box Android I've ever purchased. Out of my nine boxes, two are like this one, and they really come at the bottom of the list. The remote control and box itself just don’t work well."

"La caja no es muy robusta. I find the remote control to be lacking, and the device frequently locks up, requiring resets."

"My internet connection is 400 kbs, but this box barely allows 90 kbs. Other than that, it runs quite well."
