    I have both of the roku stick type streamers and they tend to over heat and lock up. This unit has been flawless I like it much better and it was considerably cheaper also

    Ease of installation was excellent once we figured out where to plug into the tv. We had to go back to the store. Fortunately, Sean who was our original salesperson was there. He took the time scrutinizing our tv schematics and he was able to determine where the port is. Imagine it was behind the brace holding the TV. I was Impressed that Sean took the time to help us, especially since he had a request from another employee for assistance with another Customer ( who probably was buying a much more expensive product). Thanks again Sean it is working just fine! Terry O

    Love this for quick access to my streaming services. This was good for my 1080p TV, but for a few dollars more you can get the 4K version but looks nearly exactly the same.

    New Roku Stick System

    I know this version of the roku stick may not be the best one on the market right know. But for me its perfect for my home use, for the moment. I was still using the old school one for the longest time know, so i decided to get a new version. I like the small device you plug into the wall than the normal stick you plug into the Tv. It also makes it easier to get signal to the unit and the remote, with not much interference. Over great product very easy to set-up, that i brought 2 of them.

    The Roku - Express HD Streaming Media Player with High Speed HDMI Cable and Simple Remote - Black is a really great option for streaming so many streaming venues. Setting up the Roku is fast & very easy to do. I purchased this & was able to now get Spectrum on my bedroom tv without a cable box or cables. Of course, Best Buy had the very best pricing on this item when purchased. Also a shout out to the store representative who explained in detail the various options in this streaming remote.

    This was purchased as a gift for a parent to replace an older Roku. The interface is a lot faster than the one from 2013 that it replaced. My dad doesn’t have much use for the bells and whistles of the more pricey models so if you want 4K, you should look at some of the other ones but my dad’s TV is pretty old but still is functioning. My dad’s biggest complaint is that you need to subscribe to other services (like Netflix) in order to get the most out of this lol. It does have Disney+, Netflix, Spotify, Pandora, Hulu, Prime, Peacock, and AppleTV+. No HBOMax yet.

    I had trouble with the Roku Stick with an iffy wifi signal being behind one of my tvs. I tried this new unit with the receiver being able to be placed to the side, and it works great. (my download speed doubles just by the receiver being to the side instead of behind the tv.) I would give it just 4.8 stars though since it does not have the volume control on the remote like my older Roku units....not the worst inconvenience though. --- It gives me tons of free channels that I don't get through my cable tv provider, and even some channels on Spectrum through their App that I do not get through my cable box.

    I got a 4K Roku TV to replace an aging 1080 standard TV. I liked it so much I added a Roku box to the rest of the TVs in our household. The ease of setup, and choice in streaming sources are plentiful. You can also get more out of some stations if you login to them with your cable's service credentials. I plan to cut back on my cable service bill, and use these exclusively for my TV viewing needs. The stations I watch most are all on this without having to pay rediculous amounts to watch them.

    Works well and was cheap. I would prefer the "higher level" remote with volume controls (or the one up from that with volume and mute), but I needed a bunch of these, so I went with the cheapest option.

    You may also need a separate adapter

    My old Roku did not support Prime Video, so I upgraded to this Roku Express. HOWEVER, the package does not indicate that a separate AC power adapter (not included) is needed if your TV does not have an available USB port. Otherwise, this basic Roku is easy to install and simple to operate.
