    For not a lot of $, my small TVs are now “smart”. Easy to hook up and operate and doesn’t take up space. I had a small TV in my kitchen and couldn’t find a smart tv small enough for the space but was trying to get away from cable. This is a great alternative.

    The remote with this version is very basic. It was easy to set up and works fine for the guest room TV I installed it on. For a more often used TV I would recommend spending the extra $10 and get the 4K version.

    The Roku express offers an impressive feature set for its low price. It supports the latest 4K, HDR10, and WCG video formats and Dolby Atmos for audio. Its redesigned Wi-Fi antenna supports faster 802.11ac and also improves reception compared with previous models. Its RF remote has dedicated power and volume controls for your TV, works through walls and cabinetry, and lets you search with voice. Roku’s iOS or Android app lets you watch shows and movies with headphones to avoid disturbing others. Finally, this HDMI stick is super easy to set up, has a convenient design, and gets all the power it needs from your TV’s USB service port.

    We have a few Roku streaming sticks. I like that this one connects with a more standard HDMI cord for a few reasons - one being the fragility of the streaming stick connection, especially with toddler boys. I also like that the remote has a Disney+ button instead of HULU, although the best move would be to make these programmable. You have to actually angle the remote at the device to get it to work, unlike with the Roku sticks. It's well worth the difference in price.

    We use this daily to access YouTube, Netflix, and Spotify. It’s works well with our Samsung TV. I only rated it 4 stars because controls like pause don’t work with the remote. The phone app controls it fairly well. Wish it would rewind & skip.

    Easy setup. Works great. The tv I have this hooked up to is not 4K so this works great. Responsive and steams HBO, Netflix, Hulu, Disney + with no problems.

    I love this Roku, it is so much better than the smart TV user interface I have in my older TV. It is very fast and easy to use and it also has the Formula 1 TV app.

    I purchased this for my mother just as things started getting serious with closures and a better understanding of how much we should stay at home. I wanted it to be easy for her to use and be able to tie into my Roku account so I could manage apps for her and this worked perfectly for that use. 6 months later she's got things figured out. The TV this was being used on is an older 1080p set so 4k and all the bells and whistles of the higher end models wasn't necessary.

    My TV is very old... about 8 years old. It’s a smart TV but i could only play Netflix from it which was a bummer because I have other streaming subscriptions. I got this product and it completely transformed my TV. It actually feels smart now. I am able to use whatever streaming platform I like and display pictures from my phone if I wish. It is very simple to use so it’s perfect for anybody. I would definitely recommend this product and I would purchase it a thousand times over.
