🚀 KM2 Plus Deluxe 4K TV Box (4GB+32GB, Dolby Atmos, WiFi 6)
I picked this KM2 Plus Deluxe TV Box mainly for its specs and the Netflix 4K certification—it’s rare to find a streaming box under $70 that ticks so many boxes: Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, WiFi 6, Google certification, and a clean Android TV interface. The main goal was to upgrade my living room setup without shelling out $100+ for a NVIDIA Shield or similar.
Delivery took about 12 days to the US East Coast, which surprised me in a good way. Everything was securely packaged, with the remote, HDMI cable, and power supply included. Setup was painless—plug, connect to WiFi, log into Google, and it was ready.
Pros:
-
Crystal-clear 4K playback with zero lag on Netflix, Prime Video, and YouTube.
-
Dolby Atmos & Vision support is legit and made a real difference with my LG OLED TV.
-
WiFi 6 kept the stream stable even in a tech-crowded home.
-
Built-in Chromecast works like a charm.
Cons:
-
The included remote feels a little plasticky.
-
No auto frame rate switching (which is standard on pricier boxes).
US comparison: Something like the Chromecast with Google TV 4K or Fire TV Cube costs more and lacks the ethernet port and WiFi 6 combo. For the money, this is a steal.
Did it meet expectations? Absolutely. For $60-something, this box punches way above its weight.
US $115.99

📺 KM7 SE Google Certified TV Box (2GB RAM + 32GB)
I ordered the KM7 SE (2GB+32GB) to use in the bedroom where I don’t need top-tier specs. What drew me in was the price, Android TV 11 support, and real Google certification (which means reliable app compatibility).
The box arrived in about two weeks and worked fine out of the box. Setup took slightly longer due to system updates, but once running, it felt snappy enough for YouTube, Netflix, and Plex streaming.
Pros:
-
Google Assistant & Chromecast built-in.
-
Compact and minimal heat generation.
-
4K playback handled well on YouTube and Netflix.
Cons:
-
2GB RAM can choke with multiple apps or background updates.
-
No USB 3.0 or gigabit LAN.
US comparison: For $35–$40, you won’t find a similar Android TV-certified device in the US market. Roku and Firestick compete at this price but lack AV1 codec and open Android ecosystem.
Met expectations? Yes, but only as a light-use secondary box. Don’t expect NVIDIA-level performance.
US $46.34

💡 KM2/KM2 Plus (2GB+16GB, USB 3.0)
I grabbed this KM2 (2GB+16GB) model as a backup unit for the guest room. The draw was the price (under $35), USB 3.0, and Dolby Atmos support.
First impression: this is a small but capable unit for basic needs. Setup was easy, and it handled Plex streaming from my NAS over LAN very well.
Pros:
-
Solid performance with Ethernet and USB 3.0 port for external drives.
-
Dolby Atmos audio passed through my soundbar without issues.
-
Compact, good passive cooling.
Cons:
-
Storage fills up quickly—16GB isn’t much.
-
2GB RAM shows limitations during multitasking.
US comparison: Nothing under $50 in the US comes close in features with Dolby Atmos and USB 3.0. Fire TV Stick 4K is $20 more and has no USB port.
Met expectations? Yes, for single-use streaming or guest access. Not ideal for gamers or heavy users.
US $63.77

🎬 KM7 SE 4K Android TV Box (BT5.1, Dual WiFi)
I wanted something with newer codecs and better connectivity and found this KM7 SE BT5.1 model with AV1 support. The main selling point was support for modern video formats, and the low price sealed the deal.
The package arrived faster than expected, in just 10 days. Setup was quick, and the interface is clean—pure Android TV. I primarily use it for Kodi, YouTube, and some IPTV.
Pros:
-
AV1 codec support makes it future-proof for streaming.
-
Dual-band WiFi works reliably.
-
Google-certified with no weird app issues.
Cons:
-
Bluetooth connection for my headphones sometimes lags.
-
Remote is okay but not premium.
US comparison: Hard to find an AV1-ready Android TV box in this price range. Apple TV doesn’t support AV1 at all.
Met expectations? Definitely. Smooth performance and codec support make this a great value pick.
US $38.08

🎥 2025 KM2 Plus Deluxe (4GB+32GB, Android 11, Dolby Audio)
This is essentially a newer revision of the original KM2 Plus, but I wanted to test if the 2025 version had any real improvements. Main draw was the updated firmware and UI smoothness claims.
After testing side-by-side with the older version, I noticed slightly faster boot times and snappier app switching. Everything else—video quality, streaming stability, interface—was just as good.
Pros:
-
Snappier performance vs the older model.
-
Dolby Atmos and Vision are flawless.
-
Google Assistant integration works fast and well.
Cons:
-
Remote still feels too lightweight.
-
Still no auto refresh rate switching.
US comparison: Easily matches the $100+ boxes from big brands at half the cost.
Met expectations? Yes, and even exceeded them in some areas.
US $89.36

🎛 KM2 Plus (2GB DDR4, HDR TV Box)
This KM2 Plus (2GB) model was the cheapest of the lot. I wanted to see how it would hold up with only 2GB of RAM. It’s promoted as a “home media player,” and I think that’s a fair description.
Despite lower RAM, the box did fine for YouTube, IPTV, and some light Netflix use. Android TV interface worked better than expected. It didn’t freeze or crash even after hours of running.
Pros:
-
Stable video playback.
-
Android TV certified.
-
Perfect for basic needs and casual users.
Cons:
-
No Dolby Vision.
-
Limited multitasking power.
US comparison: There’s no Android TV-certified box in this price tier with similar build quality.
Met expectations? Surprisingly yes. It’s not flashy but does the job quietly and well.
US $67.85
✅ Final Thoughts
Overall, I’m impressed—more than I expected to be. All six Mecool Android TV Boxes were fully functional, Google certified, and worked great out of the box. While none of them are perfect, they offer unbeatable value, especially compared to US options that cost nearly twice as much for fewer features.
I’d absolutely recommend these for anyone wanting affordable, reliable streaming boxes without being locked into Roku or Fire TV ecosystems. I already plan to order another for a friend who needs an easy Plex streamer. AliExpress surprised me in a good way this time.
