    Still running the very first one that I purchased in 2007, just got a newer one for another TV because have burned to fire stick up. The Roku is a lot better.

    Be aware that this is the simple and basic version of Roku. That is, doesn’t control TV and is not 4K. Didn’t need 4K but would’ve been nice to power TV on and control volume with one remote. Roku has excellent selections and it was on sale so it was ok fore the guest room. If it was an everyday used item, I would have to upgrade to a better remote.

    This is the 3rd Roku stick that I've purchased. Now, I have access to all my favorite programming in in all of the major spots in the house where we watch tv; basement, dining area and of course the bedroom. The only thing about this particular model that I didn't like is that you can't control the tv volume or change the channel. I should've opted for the next model up.

    Very easy to set up, even for a 70+ year old. Takes a bit getting used to changing channels versus a cable remote, but nothing too daunting. Overall, very pleased, and we're saving money every month versus a cable box.

    Money saver over cable box fees with so many free channels. Only gripe is the remote control is so basic and to get a TV power button and TV volume control is a cost upgrade. Also to get to a specific channel you have to scroll all the way up or down. no direct number entry.

    Inexpensive streamer for older TVs

    We needed something for streaming on our older TV, and this worked perfectly. It was easy to set up and configure. My only gripe is that you need to create a Roku account and provide your credit card number. If you don't "rent" a movie on Roku, you don't get charged.

    I have been using Roku devices from their beginning. I prefer them now over any cable subscription or any other streaming device. I own this device as well as the Roku ultra and 2 Roku TVs great ecosystem. Easy to navigate through menus and in my opinion way better than Apple TV.

    Great/Simple Streaming Media Player

    Bought two of these to upgrade my Standard TV’s. Roku’s setup is easy and they have all my streaming services available unlike the other media player brands I looked at. The Roku Express only streams at 1080p which is perfect for me, but there are other models that stream 4K.

    Works great! Our son took one to college so we bought this to replace it. We have 4 of these. They are easy to use and offer access to lots of streaming apps. I am not very tech savvy but I can air drop from my phone to my tv using this as well.

    I purchased the one at the lower end of the scale. Yet for the price I can’t complain. Sure anyone on a low budget would appreciate.

    I wanted to be able to stream shows on my older Panasonic TV and to be able to pull the stereo sound from my Bose system. This was so easy to setup and I have to say the picture and sound quality coming through both the TV and Bose system is great! Great product for the price!

    I bought this so that I could stream Hulu and Netflix on an older TV. This Roku is simple and easy to use and has buttons to immediately access 4 streaming services - Netflix, Hulu, Sling, and ESPN. The initial setup was quick and easy. I just wish the remote had a volume controller on it.
