Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've had this for over a year now and I haven't had any real issues...it's doing what it is meant to do. Every now and then, the Roku home menu drops to a lower resolution (i.e. "zooms in" so that all of the icons are much larger than they should be), but it doesn't affect navigation and tends to correct itself. The reason I got this lower-end Roku was because I was connecting it to an old 720p TV, so not sure if the old TV is what confuses the resolution from time to time. But it works well with my wifi (I do have a pretty reliable wifi setup) and gets the job done. I also have a couple Roku Ultras connected to nicer TVs, and do sometimes wish I had the nicer remote and the remote locator...but just didn't seem worth the extra fifty bucks for a lower res TV.

The Roku Express was a great addition to my streaming household. The only difference between the Roku Express and regular Roku is that the express remote only controls the Roku itself & not the TV.

The devices are working fine and the change from cable to streaming has reduced our monthly bill by more than a third! Only wish we had done this sooner.

Ok big Roku fan. Needed a new one for my bedroom tv because the smart tv apps no longer update on the tv itself. Took about two minutes to hook up and ten minutes to set up. Disney+ fans will like the dedicated button for that. Cheap easy way to stream via Roku!

So the menus are better laid out with this versus the firestick. (which I also got). You can customize the menus better also. The big difference in my eyes between this and the firestick is the firestick can turn off your tv and raise and lower the volume. This on the other hand allows you to synch up with an app on your phone so if you lose the remote, you can just use your phone and far better than that, you can put headphones in you phone and listen to tv that way - Great if your wife is trying to study or sleep or if you want to walk around or work on other things without having to blast the tv in the next room.

this is my third Roku unit and all are still in play. i was a little disappointed that my newest unit doesn't have the side buttons to raise, lower and mute the volumne. Other than that drawback, it's a Roku, so i get to stream content without being held hostage by the cable overlords! Stay FREE, peace

Very simple and easy to use, I wanted something inexpensive that would do the job of providing me the apps I need and it does exactly that. Very reasonable for the price.

Word as expected. No issues. I’ve purchased one for each of my TVs. They’re great for non smart TVs and covert easily.

For non-smart TVs, works great to have an app machine like the a ROKU. Easy to set up and simple for kids ro use.

Very easy to use. Love the programs that come with it.

The remote is very user friendly and I love the channels. Tubi and Roku are free and they both have so much to choose from. I just downloaded the Frndly channel for my husband and he is in heaven having 2 fishing and 2 hunting channels. Love it!

Easy to install. Small space needed. Wish volume on remote

Upgraded from an early generation Roku box. We didn't expect much of a difference. Instead we've been pleasantly surprised that this version is much snappier and the remote works very well. Quick access buttons for Netflix and Disney are nice too.

Roku has been life changing!!! I get all my basic live channels on the Roku channel plus premium content is also available. You can also install popular streaming apps like Netflix HBO etc… it def upgrades your old tv.

A fantastic product to have in your house. It eliminates multiple cables.

No idea why I did not buy this sooner. This is the best purchase and I use it every single day. My mom has learned to use it and she says she can't learn new things! So beyond pleased with this purchase. My mom may be getting one soon!

The Roku express was very simple to install and setup. It works exactly as advertised and allowed us to finally “cut the cord”. The Roku is simple to use and has very easy navigation. Works great, I would recommend Roku to anyone wanting to ditch the dish or cut the cable.

Good streaming stick at a good price. There really isnt anything bad tonsay about this item . Its easy to operate and the ecosystem is good

My TV is not smart so I have to have a device to allow me to stream. The basic ROKU works great for what I need and is the cheapest. Walmart was out of the basic model and Best Buy's price was lower than Walmart's for this model even if they had it.

The basic Roku Express Media Player is inexpensive yet all you need to stream all the apps and programs you love---much better than using your tv remote!
