Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was great for saving money. I subscribed to apps Netflix, Hulu, HBO and Showtime and saved over $80 getting rid of my DirecTV bill. I'm extremely satisfied

I bought this when it was on sale for $50 and it is just amazing..It is like a chromecast on steroids..Basically an adroid tv box or like any roku or Apple TV and then doubles as chromecast to stream from your devices to the tv. The unit is very fast and just smooth with operation and menu navigation.

The nexus player is a great device for pretty much anything u would want to use it for! U can download all kinds of cool apps from the Google store and games also!! The only thing I didn't like about it is there's no where for an sd card or a plug in for Ethernet!! Other than that it's pretty rad....

this box was bought (on sale) to compliment my Apple TV since we recently cut the cord. so far it has been a quality compliment. it is easy to connect, easy to use (learn how to use) and has worked as expected.

So Google is entering the streaming desktop box market and, while it totally doesn't fail the lack of dedicated apps on the device itself makes this box not worth the price. You get your standard Netflix, Hulu and the Google play services but as of now no Crackle, Flixster, Crunchyroll, Vimeo and etc. This device really depends on you having either a secondary android device or "casting" from a Google chrome browser to make up for the lack of expansive streaming services . Which really sucks since I bought this device to be a stand alone player and to replace my Chromecast. It does have the ability to download and play dedicated games, like the Ouya, and I'm sure the optional game controller makes it a better value proposition. It's also very fast to start up and almost no lag when browsing. The remote it comes with is Bluetooth so you candy hide the player behind your TV or wherever your heart desires and not have fiddle with getting a clear line of sight. The voice command function is also excellent and makes it easier to search for content. As of now though if you're looking for a dedicated device to watch or listen to various streaming services and maybe discover new ones a Roku would b a better purchase, especially since the new models support voice search same as this box. Unless you're deeply in the Google/Android eco system by purchasing movies and TV shows through its Play services, skip this over the price and get a cheaper Chromecast.

I love this nexus player....So far it works well and very fast too.....worth purchasing if you are looking for a good streaming device..... Previously i used to go to my smart tv app for any application now i have everything in my Nexus player and very easy to navigate too.... love this device...

I don't agree with the people that doesn't like this device. I understand is not the best STB hardware available out there, but for the price it's an excellent choice if you require a remote (otherwise get a Chromecast). Netflix and Plex works awesome on it. Thanks BestBuy and Google.

I have all generations of Apple TV, fire stick and Fire TV, but I was impressed that this device is fast and neat. It's good if you a Google play movie library and don't like to use chromecast.

I intend to return this product. Compared to other options, there aren't enough features to justify the price tag, even if you do snag it at $50. The lack of app support was a huge drawback - this does not support HBO GO/NOW, Amazon Instant Video, etc. Also, another turnoff was the fact that the voice feature did not integrate with the apps - so there is no ability to pull up a show from Netflix. I would stay away until more applications are supported.

Good streaming device that is easy to use and set up. Has google on it so using the voice command helps a lot to locate apps, movies, and shows

Bought this to replace amazon fire TV stick and works really good because of dedicated android tv. Installed kodi and works like a charm.

I have 4 of these in my home and they all work great especially for using kodi

I bought this to replace a laptop that I was using as a media center. I chose this over Roku and others because at $50, there isn't really anything else that offers the flexibility. With a micro USB to USB adapter and a powered USB hub you can add hard drives, keyboards and other devices. Negatives for me are small. Not all apps are available from the store, but you can get them with some work. Bluetooth audio is buggy, and just doesn't work with the Netflix app. Overall this little puck has met and exceeded my expectations.

So much better than the Asus and Netgear versions I had previously. Streaming in HD is nearly flawless. Would give it 5 stars, but not all apps and websites I would like support casting.

I have had many streaming players from Western Digital to Roku to Apple TV and umpteen Android boxes from China that run XBMC. I found the Google Nexus to be a solid device. The fit and finish is top notch. Its made by ASUS for Google and the quality is there to see. Next i was worried about the glitchy Android platform and how responsive it would be. But to my surprise it is very responsive like Apple TV. The thousands of Apps and voice command feature for searching content for the internet is a plus. The voice command works very well. It recognizes pretty much any thing that you can throw at it and aggregates content based on your search term across Apps, content and media. Its a fantastic player. Only gripe is lack of connectivity via a micro USB port. You can always buy a micro USB to USB adapter and connect your external storage. After having meddled with many streaming players I would highly recommend this one.

Coming from Google TV this was definitely an upgrade. My 6 and 8 year old love playing android games on the TV now. I opted not to buy the official Nexus Player controllers ($40 a piece) and instead bought two controllers from GameStop that work great and were only $8. Goody and should only get better.

Instead to buy cheap G Box from China, hard and costly to return. It is more better to buy Google Nexus Player work great with Kodi

Really happy with this little box. Have tried multiple boxes before such as WDTv Live and Chromecast and Roku. Never was 100% happy with any of them as there was always something I needed one of the other boxes for. This is the first box that can do it all. I can stream from my shares across the network using Kodi with no lag, I can watch Netflix, Sling, and any of the network boxes. It has a remote control but since it's Bluetooth, can sync up to my keyboards for easy entering of text on screen. Overall it does everything I need it to. Stability on some of the apps could be a little better, but that isn't the fault of this product. I would definitely recommend getting it for a home entertainment box.

With the new firmware update to 6.0 Lollipop The Nexus Player is awesome. Casting youtube, Netflix, and Pandora works great with the exception of an occasional glitch. You can also side load apps, the Nexus player is very flexible and gives you so many options to tweak it. I would definitely recommend the player.

If you want a Android TV this is the one to purchase tried the other boxes but this one does everything plus it has a built in Chromecast! LOVE IT!!!
