Score: 85/100Rankings
The MECOOL KM2 is a compact Android TV box that delivers certified 4K HDR streaming with Google Assistant and Chromecast integration. Its main trade-offs are limited Ethernet speed and modest internal storage. It is best suited for users who want a budget-friendly, feature-rich streaming device for mainstream media consumption.
The Roku Streaming Stick+ offers a sleek plug-in form factor with long-range dual-band Wi-Fi and 4K 60 fps HDR streaming at an affordable price. Its missing Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and Ethernet port limit premium audio-video and wired networking options. Ideal for budget-conscious cord-cutters who need a portable 4K solution.

Professional reviewers commend the Stick+ for its sleek, plug-and-play form factor, strong long-range Wi-Fi, and solid 4K/HDR picture at a budget price, but they criticize the missing Dolby Vision/Atmos support and the lack of an Ethernet port, which limits its appeal for premium-audio or wired-network users.
Everyday users love the effortless setup, crisp 4K/HDR picture, responsive voice remote, and reliable Wi-Fi range, especially for upgrading older or secondary TVs, while recurring complaints focus on occasional overheating, short remote battery life, and intrusive interface ads.
