I didn't want to like Roku. I have a Smart TV. Why should I need a Roku. But, I learned there were some channels I couldn't get without it. It was on sale at my local Best Buy, so I picked one up. I got years of service from it and grew dependent on it. Then it stopped working. Horror!!! I immediately went online and found this sweet item. I was trying to decide which path to take. Get another TV with Roku built in, or get this. I decided on this. I was running errands and getting Mexican food. I had intended to order my Roku at the beginning of my meal so that it would be ready. I forgot! I quickly ordered it and decided to sit and drink some more iced tea and then mosey that direction. They said it would be an hour. I got a text that it was ready in like 16 minutes and it was in my hands in 27 minutes. That's some good service. It was easy to install. The hardest part was locating and reentering all my passwords for my apps. Once that was done it has been smooth sailing. The picture is slightly better than the older model and I can perceive a difference in the speed, especially since I used my TV old apps for a couple of days. Roku is superior to built-in apps.

Been using the Roku device for a month now, bringing in my selected channels over my Internet app and they play crystal clear. The Roku came pre-loaded with tons of apps, several that I've tried and I'm very pleased with. It was a snap to hook up to the TV and only took a few minutes to set up an account on my laptop. Now I can watch Netflix, Hulu, lots of free stuff and load more streaming apps from the Roku store. It came with Pandora for music and so many more apps already pre-loaded. I have a flat screen TV, but it's not the new Smart style TV type, so adding the Roku gave me access to all the fun apps people like to watch. Couldn't be happier, so glad I was able to turn my dumb TV into a Smart TV with this Roku Streaming Device.

I had an old Roku but didn’t realize how outdated it was until I got this new one. I LOVE it. It was easy to install (I did it myself) and I was so pleased, once I got it loaded up, with how fast it is and how many more channels I can get. The Roku device itself is so small, and the remote is efficient and easy to sync and use. Highly recommend.

Need something to take to the mountains with me for a long weekend getaway. I hadn’t planned on turning the TV on but the weather left me with no choice. Didn’t want to unhook my Roku Ultra 4K and the cost of this made it a no brainer. With the small size I really didn’t expect much but honestly this thing is fast! I used my phone as a hotspot and had 0 issues with it. Completely satisfied and glad I got it, will definitely use it in the future when traveling.

Every TV in our home has one version of Roku or another. This Express is perfect for the smaller non-4k TVs. Easy to setup and use. The Roku OS is the best-of-class for streaming devices and so easy to use.

I got it for my parent’s room and they love it! It is just like if your tv was a smart tv! It is very easy to use and it is at a great price! I only recommend getting this one if your tv isn’t a 4K tv and if you don’t have the cable because we got the 4K at first but it wasn’t compatible and either way this one looks great in HD! We love it!

this unobtrusive small device turns an older non smart tv into a smart one. Loads of streaming options, great picture, and easy to set up. You can see all the free stuff available and also log in to your paid streaming subscriptions.

Overall easy to use and worth buying. Yes you have to have a streaming platform to get most things but roku comes with free shows to watch and streaming in most cases can be cheaper than cable/other options.

Easy to use with lots of free programs to watch without subscribing to any pay-to-watch streaming services. Of course, all the popular streaming programs are easily accessed thru Roku if you want them. I like that the Roku remote will turn the tv on/off but I wish it would also adjust the volume so I did not have to use the tv remote. It was quick and easy to set up. Wish I had bought a Roku years ago. I am using the Roku Express with a 10-year old Vizio HDTV and it works perfectly.

Great little affordable player. The wifi on the kids room tv gave out, so i got this. It was cheaper thsn purchasing a new tv. Easy to set up, super low profile. It only streams at up to 720p i believe, which is more than enough. Tv's usb port can be used to power it which is great too

Excellent streaming device for the most popular apps. It cannot control the volume, BUT makes up saving you plenty of time providing the best picture quality. This deal is worth every penny.

Very impressed by the Roku HD device. Easy install with Apple iPhone assistance. Very low sale price of initial purchase, then purchased 3 more at regular price for all TVs to replace Spectrum cable boxes. This allows some savings from escalating Spectrum fees. I also have used the Amazon Fire-Stick but this is not compatible with Spectrum basic channels, only Premium channels. Quality of Roku remote seems superior to Fire-Stick but both work well for streaming.

Tried this at the office for a wall mounted tv. Since this remote does not have volume control, i would not recommend for that application. At home its plugged into my soundbar so it doesn't matter as much because i use the soundbar remote. Functionality is great and ease of setup/use is fantastic. For the price, it's really amazing!

Don't let the low price fool you, this Roku Express still provides all the Roku content of the higher end devices. If you don't need 4K then the Roku Express is a great value. The performance when flipping through menus is good and initial setup is very straightforward and easy. The Roku remote is well know as being one of the best compared to all the competitors. The Roku menu interface is nothing fancy but that's what I like about it, it's quick and easy to figure out and navigate. Overall you really can't go wrong with a Roku Express or any Roku device in general.

Working well. No problems at all. Set up was easy. The receiver is tiny. Using it on a 1080p Insignia TV. Very adequate picture. Connected to wifi with no problems. Recommended.
