    Works pretty good. Still trying to decide whether or not to subscribe to the pay wall for certain streaming. Still exploring everything Roku has to offer for free.

    Smaller and better than before. An excellent product. I would definitely purchase another one for all the other TVs in my home. The price range was very good too.

    Easy to set up. We don't like voice commands to watch TV so this worked plus it was very inexpensive. The quick buttons for Disney+, hulu, and Netflix are nice touches.

    Roku vs iPhone vs SwitchLite

    After my family added another TV to the house, the existing ones got handed down to our 2 kids. The youngest child got a Samsung TV that was not a smart TV and she always watched YouTube from her phone or SwitchLite. So we decided to get the Roku so she could stream other content and watch it comfortably from her bed in her room. She loves watching Disney+. This item was so easy to use and setup. We did it in less than 5 minutes. It has a remote control app that you can install on your smartphone which she prefers to use it over the roku remote. Great product.

    Bought this back in December so I could stream Disney + to watch The Mandalorian. My 2015 Samsung smart TV didn't support Disney + even though it was fine with Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu. Salesman talked me through what to do once home with my purchase but I actually found a You Tube video on this model so just followed along with it and installation was a breeze. I was watching my shows in no time. Have used it quite a lot during the pandemic so very glad I purchased this. I would highly recommend.

    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.

    I bought this Roku to replace the old box style Roku I had. It wasn’t updating and so, I replaced it with this compact version. Very happy with the capacity and how well it works.

    Very good picture. Easy to set-up. Fixed the Britbox app on Apple which would not project videos to the complete screen and would time out every 5 minutes.

    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.

    Solved streaming problems for us.

    Works great. We were having problems using laptops to stream video to a hdmi projector, mostly with Linux, but with Mac too. Some services stopped, some only stopped when the HDMI was plugged in as they changed the DRM settings. Very frustrating. The ROKU fixed all this. Trivial to connect, easy to configure (you do need a ROKU account that needs a credit card but you can set up a PIN so nobody can charge it). All our streaming services are supported, and the quality is as good or better than the laptops. We have it connected to a 1080p projector, video quality is very good.

    The Roku is very simple and easy to use and this brand is cheaper than the others and I love it. The remote control is easy to use too so I have everything in this brand. :)
