    This roku isn't the best when it comes to connection. Granted, I do have 7+ devices connected to my WiFi with 400 Mbps but none of my other devices have issues with keeping connecion. This roku takes 20 minutes to find a connection. I did a factory reset and nothing happened. The Wifi router is literally outside my room and yet the connection fails everytime.

      Hello! We appreciate the effort you took to address the issue, but no worries, we're here to help. To start, please try connecting to a different network, such as a Mobile Hotspot, to determine if the problem lies with your Wi-Fi router or Roku device. If you can establish a connection, ensure that your device is running the latest software version, as this will significantly enhance its functionality and provide access to the most recent features. To check for updates, navigate to Home > Settings > System > Software Update > Check Now. If these suggestions do not resolve the issue, please reach out to a member of our team for direct assistance at support.roku.com/contactus. Thank you! Elmer, Roku Customer Advocate roku

    used to update my old smart tv to have more current tv apps. works great as basic low cost option, it did the job to smarten up my older smart tv to add channels I was missing. also consider the upgraded roku with voice command - super handy if you are willing to pay the extra cost.

    I would give it a 5 star rating if there was a way to control volume and power for the TV on the same remote. I have used Apple TV, and the fire stick. This is better than either one. It’s simple to use, and gives me access to everything I use, that being - Apple TV, Netflix, Prime, Hulu+. Very satisfied with this product. Oh, and one other thing, the ability to use my phone as a remote and also for sound through my ear pods is a great option.

    The price of the Roku-Express player that I purchased from Best Buy was quite reasonable. It was delivered on the day promised. I was very pleased with the ease of connection and operation of the device. I have been greatly enjoying the Roku service and expect to continue doing so.

    I wanted to buy a Roku for my bedroom upstairs, so I picked this model because it suited my purpose. It was easy to install once I found the right HDMI outlet. Then the system guides you through the set up step by step. I got it for a good price to over the holidays.

    The Roku Express was easy to set up, works great. Have enjoyed adding programming to the TV so there's something to watch when the regular broadcast channels are a tad lame.

    I'm sure there are better models of Roku out there. But for our needs, which are 2 rarely used TV's, this is perfect and the price was excellent. Easy to set up and use. Saved me $20 on my ridiculous Xfinity bill, because I could return 2 boxes that they charge rental on.

    We have recently moved to a new home and have chosen to “Cut the cable”. The Roku module is easy to use and intuitive. It offers a variety of options for streaming. It works well with our Xfinity network. I have no complaints and I am a new user of this module and streaming services.

    Roku is the best in the streaming business hands down. This years model is a great improvement on last years. It's super small, yet super fast and responsive. It also doesn't overheat like that shady firestick. If you're looking for an entry level model that does it all. Look no further.

    This replaced my Roku 2 that was becoming slow and glitchy. I got this in a deal of the day sale. I use this on my 24inch tv that I have in my dining room/office. I was surprised that a device that is smaller than my wallet has such a great picture.

    The ROKU has been a great save on both a TV I have at home for my son and then this one that I bought for my wife's parent's TV that no longer is smart :o) It saved them from having to buy a new TV. The menu is great and the app's load fast. ROKU is very easy to use. My biggest frustration with this model is that the remote does not have the capability to control the TV volume. -1 star for that.
