Nice idea
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Couldn’t use. My tv is old and has only 1 hdmi port I like the idea of it but need to find out what kind of adapter I need to make it work. It needs the hdmi to connect to receiver. I’m holding on to it till I have time to figure it out

I would recommend this to a friend Roku Express Is a Total Disaster
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Roku Express is possibly the worst product I have ever purchased. While watching, playing back a recording, and sometimes just for nothing, it cuts off and returns to the home screen. Then you have to make your way back to your streaming service and the show you were watching, which takes forever. Don't ever pause, fast forward, or rewind on a recording, or it is sure to cut out and return to the home screen. Evidentally, this is a common problem that people complain about on line (just check it out for yourself), and Roku simply doesn't care or bother to respond. I've since bought a Fire Stick to replace Roku and it works beautifully, even has voice commands, and it's cheaper. DO NOT BUY THIS ROKU PRODUCT!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGreat substitute box for cable!!!

I would recommend this to a friendConstant Unplugging
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had a number of devices, but my mom decided to get one of these instead of the ultra... and this darn thing requires reseting more often than most my other devices. It's a pain to keep unplugging. When it works, it works fine.

Happy with the purchase!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to use. Not expensive, it was less than $20.
I would recommend this to a friend Does not work on my TV's
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am not able to use it on my TV's because I believe it is because of the cable company ! When I had Verizon no problem . I switch to Spectrum and It does not let me install the Roku I I will soon purchase a New TV with Roku already installed !
I would recommend this to a friendGood enough, until Roku takes away the app.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does what it needs to. Not the fastest, or highest quality streaming, but works well enough. Only complaint about Roku devices is that their licensing requirements often mean networks and apps end up no longer working.
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Remote control
no volume control!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is not a good device. I did not know that "simple remote" means it has no volume control. That makes it pretty useless. I will return it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Good product ok experience
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product is very good but it arrived in a really beat up box. The batteries were already dead and the double stick tape was already used. This product was either a demo or a return. Best Buy should inspect their out going orders more closely.
I would recommend this to a friendRoku review
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Clerk said there weren’t many differences in all the models. One big thing that wasn’t on this module no voice control. Time consuming and frustrating trying to find programs.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGood picture and sound but overheats easily.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Roku Express in order to stream youtubetv. Works great! But the device tends to overheat (producing an error message on TV). Manufacturer sent an HDMI extension cable but it doesn't work and I will be returning it to them.
I would recommend this to a friendGood but not great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It has done what it was purchased for. To bring Youtube to a non-smart TV. It is a bit challenging in that it has no memory of what it did the day before so it I am constantly having to wait for the Youtube app to download...
I would recommend this to a friendGo for the upgrade.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I do NOT recommend this Roku, because it lacks the microphone feature. Do yourself a favor and spend a tiny bit more to get the upgrade. You will not regret it. I had to upgrade, so this purchase turned out to be a waste.

Disappointed with this
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had Roku and loved it.Remote quit working so had to buy the whole new set up, not just the remote. Got this version and it was a dowgrade big time. Remote is cheap and you have to point it directly at the little tiny box or it wont work at all. Not as good of quality as original. Disappointment was big with this purchase.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have this hooked up to T-mobile 5g home internet and I do not have any issues with internet on my other machine, but with Roku, I do. This thing always buffers.

Posted .Hi Kevin, we appreciate you choosing our products and sharing your thoughts with us. Please be advised that some devices come equipped with a Simple Remote. These lack TV controls (Power and Volume), so you must use your TV remote to control these functions. The current line of new Roku devices is limited to the Roku Express HD. In addition, in Roku model releases, the non-plus(+) models are generally equipped with a simple remote. However, if you wish to have functional access to your TV's power and volume buttons using the Roku remote, we recommend the Roku Voice remote. You can refer to this link to compare the remote features at https://www.roku.com/products/accessories/compare. If you have any future inquiries or need assistance, please get in touch with us through our website at https://support.roku.com/contactus.
Happy Streaming!
