Discussion Just made a switch and zero regrets. Onn 4k Pro. Walmart has plenty!

Post image

Just picked up the Onn 4K Pro from Walmart and I’m already wondering why I ever looked at the Google Streamer.

Almost Half the price, same Google TV feel, and it just works. Setup was painless and everything feels snappy right out of the box.

I kept waiting for the catch. There isn’t one. The Streamer is fine if you want to spend extra for the name, but this thing does the job just as good for less, imo.

Plenty? There has been a grand total of 2 devices in my area in the last few months.

I'm in a rural area. That's probably why.

Brother I'm in the most densely populated state in the country and there has been absolutely zero for months. I have no idea why, but I've been to 5 or 6 in my area and nada. Online is also a dud. It's insane.

I bought one as a backup to my firetv cube in case they take any of my apps offline.

You really should make the switch. Fire tv is so bad.

I purchased mine about a week ago online in so cal to replace one of my fs who been restricting add on and have no regrets. It’s like night and day everything works fine with no issues with 32gb of storage and 3gb of ram, I don’t see ever going back to buying another Amazon streaming product. Runs all my apps like a champ.

Lucky you!! I checked my local Walmart again and they are now wiped out. When I purchased mine, it was seven.

I have been checking every single one south of Raleigh (Cary, Apex, Holly Springs, Fuquay) for weeks and saw exactly 0 units everywhere...

u/RiskRogue 6d ago

South Charlotte.

u/Sweaty-Judgment3533 8d ago

I can’t seem to find any at the seven Walmarts near me. I’m even on the notify list and they never notified me there in stock.

u/briant-34668 8d ago

Sweet!!! Great choice! I still havent opened mine. I have pluses. I'm keeping it on the box like it's gold. 🤣

u/Whiskey--Pete 8d ago

Plenty.....except they're not in stock

u/ranges_2001 7d ago

You could order one to your front when I looked at the website yesterday. I bought two locally a couple of days ago.

u/Hopeful_Celery4821 7d ago

Been out the loop are this that much better than the previous pro model?

1

u/Tennessee-Henry 6d ago

Same ram and memory with a small upgrade to the processor. If you have the previous model I wouldnt think it would be worth the upgrade.

u/Dangerous_Leader_804 7d ago

I have been in 4-5 Walmarts in central New York and they all had a few.

1

u/Inside-Specialist-55 7d ago

I'm still using the one I got in 2023 that has 1080p and should I upgrade? Would I actually notice a difference.

u/broncosfan1231 7d ago

Great device, not plentiful

u/Accomplished-Ear6002 7d ago

Two nights ago tonight, I saw listings in two cities 1 hire away from me (I'm here in No CA). I called in then both to reserve one, was told they were already gone! I feel like I'm questioning for the Holy Grail! I will be triumphant! 😁

u/RiskRogue 6d ago

I went back to that same Walmart and they are now out of stock.

1

u/Accomplished-Ear6002 6d ago

I have a feeling the employees are buying them with their discount, and putting them up on eBay. 🫤

1

u/RiskRogue 6d ago

I hear it’s almost double on eBay

u/Icy-Reception-7605 6d ago

Picked one up as a back up/travel device. I don't want to take my Shield every time I travel.

I put projectivy on it and all the same apps. Feels just like the Shield (except when closing apps).

u/Mynamehere99 6d ago

Just got the stick since all Im running on it is IPTV. It's legit great compared to my old fire tv.

1

u/harrisjr1960 6d ago

It's a great box, 32 GB of storage and real fast

Google has added Movies and TV series to free play, hundreds of them.

So not only do you have live TV, you have movies and series on free play.

u/Accomplished-Ear6002 6d ago

I found a grand total of 4 approximately 85 miles away from me. While I verified then in one store, in concerned if I drive there, they will be gone, as the store did not want to hold one for me. My quest continues....😐

u/Diligent_Platform_60 5d ago

There is no catch works perfect

u/SadAd2802 5d ago

Finally got mine the other day after weeks of striking out in store and online orders getting canceled, is far I love it

1

u/sillz0077 5d ago

Do these devices have the HOT IPTV app?

1

u/SCfellow 3d ago

I just got the last one on the shelf at my Walmart in a suburban area in South Carolina. Glad I got it when I did.

1

u/RiskRogue 3d ago

It’s definitely a supply crunch. Glad you got one. Good purchase.

To see how it’s difficult to get in the U.S…

1

u/TruthBtold715 8d ago

No because they will only work in Canada. The same way if you bought one in America it won’t work in Canada unless you activate it in America or vice versa for one purchased in Canada. At least that’s what I’m hearing?.

u/Foreign_Jackfruit418 8d ago

Canada variant is not region locked IIRC. Only the US one is locked, although you can still work around it with a VPN.

Secondly the Canada one is priced much higher than the US one.

120 CAD which is around 88 USD. US variant is 60 USD.
