180 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other LED, QLED and OLED TVs plus TV mounts, streaming media players, antennas, cables and satellite gear we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
["ONN is Walmart's house brand for electronics, and this Android TV-powered streaming stick positions itself as an ultra-budget option for 1080p streaming. The Android TV platform provides access to thousands of apps through the Google Play Store, Google Assistant, and Chromecast built-in, which is a strong software package for the price.", 'The 1080p Full HD resolution is appropriate for most living room TVs and will satisfy anyone not yet on a 4K set. Connectivity is via HDMI and Wi-Fi, which covers the basics. At $29.98 with 2,000 units purchased monthly, the ONN stick clearly finds buyers.', 'The 4.1-star average from 180 reviews is the lowest in this product set. That score is still in passing territory, but it is worth reading recent reviews before buying. At this price level, performance differences between a 4.1 and a 4.7 device can be significant in day-to-day use.']

What buyers say

Frequently asked questions
Does the ONN Android TV streaming stick work with 4K TVs?
This model outputs 1080p Full HD, not 4K. It will work when connected to a 4K TV, but the video output will be capped at 1080p. If you want to feed your 4K TV at its native resolution, look at a 4K streaming device like the ONN 100026240 or a Roku Express 4K.
What apps are available on the ONN Android TV stick?
Because this device runs Android TV, it has access to the full Google Play Store library, which includes Netflix, Disney Plus, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, and thousands of other apps. It also supports Google Assistant voice commands and Chromecast so you can cast content from your phone or tablet.
How does the ONN stick compare to a Roku Express at a similar price?
Both sit in the budget segment. The Roku Express is typically rated higher (4.6 to 4.7 stars) and offers the simpler Roku interface, which many users find easier to navigate. The ONN Android TV stick gives you more app flexibility via the Google Play Store but may feel slower or less refined at this price tier. Your choice comes down to whether you prefer the Google ecosystem or Roku's curated simplicity.
