It's easy for the misinformed to lump all these media boxes into one basket.
for ease of understanding, lets break these into two camps:
1. ANDROID TV boxes: as they're commonly referred to, sold by the hundreds on Amazon, Ebay, ect...= no name boxes with cellphone internals and custom GUI <-----where you're going to find hacked firmware. LTT tells you to stay away from this type.
2. GOOGLE TV, sometimes even found built in to television brands. NVidia Shield TV, Xiaomi Mi Box, this ONN media player, and a very few other = are licensed, they run actual Google Tv interface and apps are upgraded via the Play Store. Firmware also upgradable, unlike the former. Chances of running into spyware? not impossible, but often less likely.

I had buffering problems at my TV farthest away from router ; replaced it with Roku - no more buffering issues

Does the volume work for Bluetooth devices, like the previous model? My guess is that Google TV might not support that like Android TV, did in the previous model. Hopefully I'm wrong about that.
Long version: Same difference that Samsung Galaxy series has when compared to its A series phone. Google TV software is latest when it comes to Google TV platform but not everything is about software here. Onn Google TV has basic hardware just to get the job done. It does not support advanced HDR formats like DV, HDR10+ or audio codecs like Atmos. That is just to name a few. Limited memory, no expansion slots or connectivity ports are other key things that is missing from this TV box.

I have two of the first-gen onn 4K boxes and three 4K "Chromecast with Google TV".
I bought the onn devices as extras but quickly switched over to them on my "main" TVs. They seem much snappier than the CwGTV and I prefer the interface.
For $20 this is one of the better Google TV devices you can buy, in my opinion. It's much cheaper than the $50 CwGTV and I think it's better.

The main selling points of this box are that it comes with a Widevine license (many no-name boxes do not and it prevents you from streaming services like Netflix in full 4K) and that it's very easy to modify to your liking. The older model can be rooted and it's probably not long before this one gets root too.
If taking advantage of how easy it is to tweak these doesn't appeal to you, save some for the rest of us.

But for this item it tells you if it's even in their system at whatever store you are interested in. For example, the 3 closest stores to me don't even populate in the search, even an 'unknown' qty, meaning I know for a fact they don't have it, because it's not in their system.
As an added bonus, you can use BS to create a UPC image for an associate to scan in store to tell you their inventory which so far I've found to be very accurate.
