Great product to AirPlay as well! Picture crispy and ready to go

I had the first generation Roku and this one is so much better. The old one was actually not supported by some of the new apps. With the Express 4K, it is faster and better yet this Roku costs less than any of the others I looked at. I have not yet tried the voice remote, but I still recommend this as being an excellent buy.

Great for streaming on older TVs. Easy to setup if you can follow the simple on screen instructions

I bought this while it was on sale. This was a great purchase! It turned my ordinary TV into a smart TV. The setup was very easy as it is basically a plug & play. It doesn't basically everything an Apple TV does but cost a lot less.

good processor speed, good picture, easy setup and voice control

Easy set up. Works great on my projector. I had issues with other brands to play on the projector.

4K+ Roku Express has been a lifesaver for me! It works very well - it seamlessly picked up as a 3rd input on my Roku TV (in which the Roku built in must be outdated and the updates are not working so it is useless). Not only does the picture quality impress me, but the voice remote works well. 2 Thumbs up!

Great for watching the olympics! Love the ease of use and the voice control. Easy setup. Great picture quality.

Roku 4K works excellent with my 65 inch. Samsung TV was easy to set up and everything was accepted immediately!! Enjoying the streaming and not being tied to the cable!

Bought this Roku streaming device for any older TV which does not have Wifi. Everything works as it should. I have a newer Smart TV purchased in Sept 2023 running on Roku for comparison. I was able to do everything and access all the Apps installed on my Smart TV by installing this streaming device on the older TV. Installation was fairly simple following the quick set-up instructions. Once all the Apps are installed as on the newer Smart TV … no issues in regards to accessing all the content when moving from one room (Smart TV) to another room of the house (Older TV without Wifi). So … if you have an older TV without Wifi but you love streaming content on your phone, tablet, or other smart tv … then just install this on the older TV you want to run Roku on.

I absolutely love my Roku streaming device: • Setting up and using Roku is so easy. • Has a large variety of streaming services. • It is affordable and have it on my three TV’s. Having used both Apple TV and Amazon Fire, I'm sold on Roku and won't be going back.

The streaming unit works as it's meant to, but it does get hot. It's best to lay the unit on it's side to keep it cool. The voice remote is extremely convenient to use. Some streaming channels requires a monthly subscription. But even without the pay subscriptions, you still could get a lot of free movie channels. I prefer this unit than the roku stick bcuz one of my TV's HDMI port is on the bottom and the roku stick won't work. The roku stick works well with the HDMI port on the side of the TV. Another reason I prefer this unit over the Roku stick is bcuz the stick also gets hot. And I'm a bit concern that it's placed directly on the TV rather than away from it like the Roku Express.

First time having to use a Roku to pull in cable channels. The device works fine and does what it should. The process of no longer having a cable box is the flaw. Used to turn on the TV, it went to a channel at start up. To go to another channel, press the channel number into the remote. No more. If I had wanted direct TV, I would have subscribed. This acts just like it. Hit the home button on Roku. Scroll across to the cable TV ap. Hit the ap. Brings up a screen with multiple scroll up or scroll down options. Scroll up to the guide, press guide. Message pops up that says "do you want to keep watching (your cable provider)". Click yes. Takes you back to the screen to select the cable provider AGAIN. Finally gets you to the guide where you have to scroll through a few hundred channels to get to the one you want. Want to change channels? Bring the guide back up, scroll through channels again to get to where you want to go. It will toggle between last viewed channels but if one was channel 12 and the other was 602, to get to a third choice guess what? Bring up the guide again and scroll scroll scroll. I would really like to talk to whoever though eliminating direct channel access was a good idea. The Roku is well priced at about $30. Cable provider is now getting to the business of a device like Roku and they want $5 a month for it. In six months this Roku is paid for vs that. But I'm sure they both work the same which doesn't work for me. Stuck until I can find a better alternative.

By and large, I'm happy with Roku. In immediate family, we now have 3 Roku streaming devices, 4 Roku TVs, and 1 Roku soundbar. They are one of the cheapest ways to get the Spectrum app so that we don't need to pay for the Spectrum cable boxes. Of course, all of the streaming services (Netflix, Disney+, etc) are available, as well as a good number of "free to watch" apps (most of which are not that interesting). The main complaint I have is that there is no number pad on their remote, so you can't jump to a particular channel. (Using voice to jump to channel is not supported in the Spectrum app). Also, the dedicated buttons for certain services that can't be changed are annoying, especially since they are different on different remotes--and on older remotes, some services don't even exist anymore, so pretty useless buttons there. I also have an AppleTV with Spectrum app and got the $12 Spectrum remote for AppleTV. Still no number pad on remote, but its better than Roku, because you at least have a "guide" button that opens Spectrum app. You can do more with an ATV too, but of course it costs more.

The roku remote makes navigating my roku tv a lot more convenient. The remote is the best addition to my home theater. 10/10

Five stars doesn't mean it's a life-changing product. It just means it works as advertised. I got it to use the Spectrum app and avoid paying for set top boxes. I appreciate that it can operate the TV's on-off and volume functions so we can use only one remote. Easy to set up and works well.

Always love fire sticks. Easy to hook up and are mobile.

Easy to set up system and ease of using the Roku system.

Works great, runs 4K, takes up no room at all....only 4 stars due to the 4 quick jump buttons. Paramount and Apple TV should have been replaced w/ something else like MAX or HULU....for me personally

I have both Roku and Amazon Fire sticks and media players. Roku is superior on all fronts. Much faster, far more durable to heat and cold and runs well far more consistently. It's too bad that Roku isn't built into more tv's. Amazon Fire is simply a cheaper substitute and you get what you pay for. I cannot recommend Roku enough. Especially if you're trying to teach your parents how to stream.
