Since 2023 when I bought it for €43, it has been working just fine, it doesn't lag at all, plays 4K and Netflix. In the second-to-last update there were probably bugs, for me it kept rebooting if the SD card was inside, without the SD it worked normally. They quickly released a new update that fixed the problem and now it works fine even with the SD, I also have the impression that it runs faster. The latest operating system it has is Android 14. At €80, which is the price I see right now, it seems expensive compared to the price I got it for in 2023.

Dude Tasos, you're right. I have the same problem after the upgrade too. Moral of the story: We don't upgrade with Chinese products

After 4 years of continuous use it was flawless, the other day when it asked me for an upgrade, that was my fatal mistake, it turns on and off by itself, it doesn't respond to the remote control, generally it acts crazy, if anyone knows or has experienced the same, I would like some help..

The device is excellent, it doesn't lag anywhere. Netflix certification, it plays Disney, Cosmote TV, Kodi, Stremio, VPN Surfshark and many other apps. The remote control is very good. I had bought it from abroad. I've had it for over 6 years... I am very satisfied

Decent little box, I got it directly from China for 60 euros but it loses a star because sometimes it has some minor glitches and rarely does some restarts. Right now, the only way to go is the mi box s gen 3 at 50. Both cheaper and faster with Xiaomi's warranty

I installed it immediately. Informative and music channels. The blue app for movies is excellent. ERTflix, ANT1 plus are excellent. It doesn't lag.! Very good.

I can't say that I am satisfied.. Breaks in the image on Stremio (I have to exit and re-enter the video and after a while it starts stuttering again... I wouldn't choose it again, and as soon as I can, I will replace it.

Very good and stable. I've had it for months, I use it daily, I've installed a ton of apps and it hasn't frozen. I highly recommend it.

Super solution in general (either for non-smart TVs or for apps that we cannot download).
Just some apps that we have on our mobile (e.g. cameras app) do not download.
Overall, however, very user-friendly, extremely convenient size!

I have had it for 1 month, it has crashed 3-4 times but overall it is fast. I use Stremio, Netflix, and EON TV; I will come back in a few months of use

Coming from the old mi box... I decided to buy the mecool after so many good reviews.
From the beginning, it has freezing issues in the menu and navigation. You need to change the settings for developers, specifically the background processes setting, in order to improve it, but not perfectly (which is not retained as a setting if you restart and it's frustrating).
Overall, it's disappointing, even in apps like stremio, after some time of watching, it starts freezing the image for no reason.
I don't know if I got a defective product.
Overall, it's frustrating.
Apps like cosmote tv, eon, etc. work well.
Definitely, in the near future, I will get another box.
I didn't have these issues with the old mi box, it just took longer to load, so I decided to change it.
Generally, I don't easily give a "bad" review, but I couldn't help it.

What can I say now, another quality that you pay for and you get, and the important thing is that it plays everything without any glitches, far better.

I bought it to run Vodafone TV since I was disappointed with other things I had tried. The machine simply rocks! It's amazing, perfect!

Simply very good, if it ever freezes on you, go to developer mode (to enable, google it) and select 1 in the background processes, it will never freeze again.

This is a device that is exclusively aimed at those who do not have a smart TV and want to turn their old TV into a smart TV. It connects to WiFi and allows you to watch services like Netflix on your old TV. It does not support reading hard drives, does not recognize certain types of music and video files, and cannot be used for home cinema. It is a retail device that does not come with proper instructions, has a poor menu, and does not offer high-quality media playback. Its HDMI does not transmit sound (so only the optical port works) and one of the USB ports is dead. I did not hear any 5.1 audio.

The best TV box. It is very user-friendly, has never frozen on me, and is worth every penny up to the last euro.

Coming from a Xiaomi Mi S 4K that was driving me crazy, this box is incredible. Everything works perfectly without any lag or restarts. 5 stars and yes, it's definitely value for money.

Can someone who has it confirm to me that Ant1 Plus is playing, attention, not just finding and downloading the application. That is, it should play afterwards, for those who have a subscription, that is, to open it and watch. I tried two Android TV Boxes and something with the Greek representation does not open it, as far as I understood.

I've had it for about 2 months! It's worth every penny 100%..with internet speed at home of 50 (clean 45) in Wi-Fi mode it has never stuck..I only have it to watch live broadcasts and YouTube..
Easy menu, very good controller! Its price is a bit steep..of course I have no opinion to compare it with something cheaper from another company.

Simply, incredibly reliable.
It does what it says and very well at that.
By far the best value for money.

I bought it 3 months ago. It's really great, I would say a good competitor to NVIDIA's equivalent. Big value for money 10/10.

I had another company, quite well-known, and truly it was like day and night (both in the same category and price). The best and fastest without any glitches.

I have had it in my possession for a week but this is the third TV box I have purchased and it seems to be the most reliable! I consider it worth the money. Good quality picture and sound and easy to handle!

The device is excellent at what it claims to do, just don't expect updates from Mecool. It's their policy to push you to the next model, in our case the Plus.

update1:
Rapidly positive revision for this amazing machine. It was upgraded last night OTA to Android 12 and since then it flies. It's like I bought a new device!
update2:
This incredible little machine has been upgraded to Android 14 and continues to receive security updates!

Something like an advanced Xiaomi since it has an ethernet port, 2 USB ports, micro SD card slot, optical fiber, on/off switch, and a great feature is that the switch doesn't stick since it's connected with a cable. It doesn't support all file types, but it works perfectly for what it's intended. I have 2 Xiaomi devices and an X96air, and this one is clearly superior in terms of usability and quality. It's definitely worth it and more.

I decided to get this particular TV box solely based on the reviews it has, as I had a call to the mk7. Although it seems to have small memory, it doesn't freeze at all. Of course, it depends on each person's usage. I use it for stremio, Netflix, and IPTV programs that were already in it and it just took my settings as soon as I put in my account. Great picture, sound is okay, I have it connected to my home theatre, very easy menu, and definitely better for me than the Xiaomi at the same price. Time will tell how long it will stay like this!

I have been the owner of this product for three days and I am very satisfied. I had a Xiaomi before and it kept freezing, so I returned it and got this one and it has been great for my health.

Netflix, Cosmote, Ertflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Stremio, Kodi, Emby, and Plex that I have tried, all work perfectly.
--- Update 2023
I also tried Vodafone TV, Apple, and EON (Nova) and they all play smoothly and flawlessly. Kodi, if you load it with a bunch of addons, is slow and generally has a delay with the remote control. However, if you use an Android App for the remote control (e.g. Kore, Yatse), then there is no delay. Personally, I don't use Kodi as frequently, but everything else I have used works PERFECTLY!

The device runs smoothly without any glitches. It's easy to install and even heavy applications like Stremio run effortlessly. The audio and video quality is excellent, making it the best option in the market today. You can buy it without any hesitation, although the price is a bit high, it's worth the investment. Xiaomi is nothing compared to Mecool.
