I recently got the Roku device, and I must say, it’s been a fantastic addition to my entertainment setup. One of
the most impressive features is that it automatically turned my regular TV into a smart TV, which made the whole process incredibly seamless and hassle-free. Installation was straightforward—just connect the device via HDMI, and you're all set.
What stands out is the variety of apps available. I now have access to even more streaming options than my built-in smart TV could offer. The user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, making it simple to find and enjoy my favorite content.
Portability is another major plus. The Roku device is compact and lightweight, making it easy to move around or take on trips. I love that I can travel with it and not worry about logging into all my apps on someone else's TV—just connect it to any HDMI port, and I’m good to go.
Overall, I highly recommend the Roku device for anyone looking to upgrade their TV experience with minimal effort. It’s a small device that packs a big punch!

Picked up two of these for my older LG TVs, plus I picked up a 24" Sharp TV with built in Roku for my workout room. After years of frustration with poorly functioning apps on multiple generations of Sony Blu Ray DVD players, I'm glad I've finally seen the light. These work flawlessly, are super cheap @ $30, and have all the apps I'll ever need. If I could change one thing it would be for all Roku models to have a Bluetooth or even RF based remote, so I didn't have to stick the box to the edge of my TV like a barnacle.

Great option for a regular TV, easy to setup and link the main streaming services, and video quality is like 4K. Just replaced a Chromecast that suddenly stopped working but it was a good move.

Best deal if you don't want to pay for an Ultra

I first purchased a Roku Ultra, set it up on the main TV and learned (somewhat) how to stream and how the Roku worked. I needed another device for the upstairs TV and when the Express went on sale last month, I thought that it would be fine for the lesser used set. I admit that I miss the TV power on/off and the volume control that is included with the Ultra and not having to have two remotes but the Express works great and it's smaller than the Ultra along with being less than half the price. It's a winner.

Great little device - but no voice search

I purchased these for my parents to use as they recently (Finally) got high speed internet.
These devices are much smaller than I realized when looking at them online - but they are so cute! They work just as well as my full size Roku 4K.
The only thing I miss is the remote doesn't control TV volume or power, nor does it have a headphone jack or the search button like my full size 4K, however you can still use the search feature in the remote app on iphone/android but you'll have to use your TV/Home theater remote for sound. I just assume it would have it because my other Roku devices have it (Roku 4K as mentioned above, and a TV with Roku as the operating system).
Just be sure you are OK with not having the remote control TV sound or having a search button/headphone jack if you are familiar with other Roku products.
Setup was very easy and quick, no steaming issues or buffering issues. Parents are happy. I'm happy!

This is the second time I've bought a Roku Express. It's handy, it's convenient, it's compact, it's got all the features you need, it's fast and it's one of the least expensive on the market. The menu is clear and easy to understand and it's compatible with all TVs.

picked a few of these up for guest room, and back room where older hdtv and a VERY laggy-app Vizio were.
Runs very fast, easy to set up, small unintrusive device.
I will say that it CAN overheat, especially the 4k models, so DO NOT put on top of a receiver, in a very enclosed space, or on top of anything else that might bring in additional heat, or prevent ventilation... other than that zero complaints, comes with everything you need to get going, minus active accounts on the streaming services.

I bought the Roku Express Streaming Media Player with Standard Remote to upgrade my TV setup, and it’s been a great addition. Setup was super quick and straightforward — took just a few minutes to connect to Wi-Fi and start streaming.
The streaming quality is solid with smooth playback for HD content. The remote is basic, without TV control buttons, but it’s easy to use and responsive. If you want something simple and budget-friendly without extra features, this is a perfect choice.
Overall, the Roku Express delivers great value for its price, making it ideal for anyone looking to stream their favorite shows and movies without fuss.

I had a Firestick and it just wouldn't work in my bedroom for some reason. Just kept trying to connect to the internet and was slow. Got this and it is great. No issues at all.

I was looking for a way to mirror my phone screen to the TV for YouTube and other videos and bought this. It is perfect! Easy to use, compact, and affordable. Occasionally it will not connect on the first try and must be rebooted before it will recognize the phone, but this doesn't happen often and is a minor inconvenience well worth the trouble.

I am loving my new Roku Express. My old ChromeCast device was "ok" but prone to hanging up and requiring me to reset / restart the current cast, periodically hijacking my phone. I'd get through my episode or whatever but never without a struggle.
After the initial Roku set-up (which can be a little tedious) the user interface is infinitely more friendly. I use my TV remote to toggle to the other HD input, set it aside, and then use the Roku remote to navigate my Roku programming. Having to use 2 remotes and not having a voice command option is not a problem for me, but obviously that is a personal preference. Plug it in, set it up, and enjoy seamless free and / or premium content.
