    I have several of the Roku streaming devices and the Roku Express HD was for an older non-4K TV we had. The speed of loading the apps and streaming are similar to our 4K devices so we don't notice anything different here. The biggest difference we noticed between this lower cost unit vs the 4K streaming sticks is the remote. The Express remote doesn't have a power button so you'll still have to use your regular TV remote for that. But for the price, it was a decent trade off. If you need a power button or plan to move the Roku to a 4K TV later on, I'd say go for the 4K streaming sticks as this one is only good for HD streaming.

    Great product for the price. Very practical device. I opted to buy this version over the more expensive one because I had heard that it looks almost just as good and it does. It’s worked out perfectly for me and what I need out of it.

    Easy to install and set up. Roku offers most if not all of the same networks my family and I watch. Good Internet? Great HD picture with this streaming device. We own three of them!

    I'm very happy with my Roku streaming device, I wasn't sure I'd like it because I wasn't familiar with how it works, but I bought it at a great price and when I got it connected I started playing around with it to get familiar, I definitely like it and it's easy to use has a simple remote , can choose the menu to see everything there is to watch and a large selection of streaming platforms to subscribe to without having several different devices, plus there is a featured free section that has everything from tv shows , movies, kids programs, and music and so much more, getting a Roku was definitely a plus for me.

    I needed another roku for the kids toyroom, and at this price you can't beat it. Keep in mind there is no power or volume buttons on this version. So the kids might actually have to get up and turn it off or change volume

    Great device for a 1080p TV. Set up was a snap and for 20 bucks you can convert your old TV into a Smart TV. The only thing that’s a negative is that the remote doesn’t have a power or volume buttons so you need to have the original remote if you still have it. Overall, a great way to start steaming without needing much internet bad with

    Love roku, very easy to use! My immigrant grandmother who is over 80 years old, illiterate, and doesn't know English was able to easily learn how to use this. The remote buttons start to have issues after about a year.

    The Roku Express HD Streaming Media Player turned my ordinary LED TV into a smart TV. The Roku was easy to set up and the unit itself is small in size which made it great for the area where I placed it. I love my Roku!

    I like the ease of setting this player up, being old school to new tech!! I also like the fact that it is always on and is easy to change from TV to player and back! and works well with our older big screen Sony TV.

    Easy to use and reasonably priced streaming device. We used this for a non-smart tv for my parents who aren’t as tech savvy. Easy set up and works great. Simple to use remote with all the popular apps at your fingertips.
