    One of the most functional and powerful streaming devices on the market. User interface is simple and easy to use. I bought this primarily to install KODI to organize my video library. My only wish for this product is to install AppleTV. Otherwise this is a great buy.

    The Shield is 4 years old now - despite that, it’s still the best streaming box if you want to play high quality audio from Blu-ray rips.

    Product is probably not for everyone. I got this with turing it into an emulation box, home theater an after thought. I love the product, works well with a dualshock 4 controller.

    The Nvidia shield are definitely the best devices in the market, I have tried several other that claimed to be the best but they don't come even close to this one. I have three of these devices in my home and I love it, once you get the new google tv UI it’s even better.

    This is a great media streamer. Plugging it in through an Ethernet cable makes this work at an optimum level. If you love to stream, this is your device.

    Amazing media center, running kodi, however android OS still cripples audio quality over HDMI. If 2ch audio is your goal, then a decent USB DAC solves this problem. Aside from that, excellent little box for all your streaming needs.

    Best android box by far

    After using the Amazon box, Firestick, and other android boxes we tried one of these and it’s substantially better than all the others. Quick to load and it rarely buffers 720p. Occasionally it does at 1080p but it depends on the source. Worth the money and time to just start here

    Great product for our usage. The gaming portion of this doesn't fit our interests/needs, which is mildly disappointing but overall still happy with it for everything else! No issues with durability or the consistent use it's put through in my home.

    absolutely the best streaming device on the market. Upscales to 4k resolution without any hitches. Plenty enough ram and storage memory for apps. Best perks are the ability to create a server as well as use the shield as a smart home hub. Especially the best on the market.
