I got the 2022 version of the 4K Streaming Stick [amazon.com] locally a couple of weeks ago as a cheap Apple AirPlay receiver for my non-Smart TV. It works pretty well for that purpose. Outside of buying an Apple TV at $130, using a Roku device such as this seems to be the cheapest and simplest way to add Airplay support to an HDMI display.
I really wasn't planning on using any of the other functionality since I have a Windows PC connected to my TV for gaming and streaming. However, I was pleasantly surprised about the free content that was available, particularly kids content on the Roku Family and Kids channel. So far, I think everything I've tested was Ad-free. It's also very easy for kids to use on their own. It's a much simpler "portal" to access free resources such as PBS Kids and Tubi and Hoopla compared to firing up the PC. Of course, the PC has the benefit of Firefox + uBlock Origin. I guess something like this might be possible the the Walmart Onn Streaming box too? I don't have one, so I don't know.
(The 2025 version of the 4K Streaming Stick is identical the 2022 version I bought. The 2025 version has lower power consumption and can more reliably be run off of a TV's USB Port. The 2022 version consumes more power and is recommended to be plugged into a power outlet, but it has a more powerful Wifi antenna built into the USB power cable).
