    I purchased the Roku Express so that I could stream all my platforms to my TV (which is older). I love. love the Roku Express. The receiver is super tiny and able to be put anywhere. It even comes with two sided tape incase you wanted to stick it to something like the side of the TV. Roku also offers an app which is great for adding channels to your account. I actually bought a few of these. I have one in my bedroom and one at my boyfriends house so I can watch my shows no matter where I am. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys streaming or is thinking of giving up cable.

    Easy to install. I love the roku remote as it jas very few buttons. If you dont subscribe to hulu netflix or sling then you maybe won't like having tjose because they cant be reprogramed. I dont use sling.Roku is pretty user friendly. You can dave your favorite apps at the top. They also have the roku channel which is a bonus netflix-like with free movies and shows with commercials. There are also a ton of free apps for just about everything if you're a channel surfer. I like the simpleness and ease of use of Roku over sony or samsung smart tv systems.

    Have older sony bravia 55 inch led still has great picture and decided we were going just wireless and dumping cable provider because had purchased 2 TCL smart tvs recently with roku so bought this to convert the sony . As with all roku devices have used so far setup was simple just plugged into hdmi port and pretty much sets it up for you other than a few manual things you have to enter in . So now no more cable and saving $175 a month . Thanks Roku

    I purchased this roku express to go with a non smart tv because of the price, I own a roku 1, a roku 2 a roku extreme and a roku tv. There isn't much difference between them all, other than their remotes, some are no point (doesn't have to point to the tv to work), some have an audio output for headphones and some have no audio output and you have to point to the tv to control it. Other than that all the rokus have are about the same. This one is small and you can attach it to the tv and is very responsive, we run disney+, youtube, netflix, hulu, slingtv, espn+, movies everywhere, boomerang, fubotv, redbox app and at least 5 or 6 other apps and runs without any lag, picture is high res, but the tv we use it for is a high end 50 inch one. Either way for 25 bucks you get your monies worth. If you're thinking about a roku and don't want to spend too much this is it.

    Roku performs as advertised

    This Roku device was purchased to replace a broken Roku 3. The breakage was my fault, letting it fall onto a hardwood floor while I was moving TV and other equipment to a new set of shelves. The new unit provided easy setup, worked as advertised, and was smaller and lighter than the unit it replaced. I appreciated the provided adhesive strip that allowed me to secure it to the base of the TV (no more unplanned trips to the hardwood). I miss the volume control and earphone jack that were on the Roku 3 remote.

    This is the third Roku I've owned, along with a Roku TV. I've had to update the media players as they'd become obsolete. (In the case of this upgrade, my old player was no longer compatible with mlb.tv--not Roku's fault!) The setup for this small, unobtrusive player was a snap and like all Rokus, it offers all the streaming channels I want. (Well, almost all--as I write this, HBO is not available on Roku and Amazon Fire streaming devices due to a contract dispute. I'm hoping that gets settled.) I got a great price from Best Buy as well.

    Competent little Roku streamer.

    Purchased for a friend and set it up for them to drag them into 21st century. It worked nicely. Comes with small Roku unit, USB cable, double-sided mounting foam tape, and quick setup guide. Does not come with a wall power plug. USB cable can plug into the USB port on the back or side of TV if it provides power. Otherwise, you will need to provide your own USB wall power plug, charging station, etc., for power. Keep in mind, the USB cable is only about 3', so, if you need to plug in to a wall adapter, you may need a longer micro-USB cable or a USB extender. But, if your TV provides a USB port with power, it should be fine. Remote is a basic IR line-of-sight remote, I believe, not WiFi remote? Not sure whether device supports WiFi / voice remotes or only the basic IR type? [Probably the latter?] Anyway, for the price, it seems quite competent, responsive, etc. I just mounted it to the side of my friend's TV with the provided mounting tape, went through setup, created a Roku account for him, and was up and running in about 10-20 mins. Seems to work great. And, he's happy with it.

    Updating our Roku was a good call. Clearer picture and sound. Setup was easy, although some apps were not as user friendly for sign in on the new device. The new remote is also comfortable in the hand and responsive.

    This thing is freakin sweet! My grandson hooked it up because I don't let the cia watch what I'm doing with the iPads and smartphones and whatnot. Anyway, I get all the stuff, net flicks, hooloo and even local news! Anyway, barbara is calling me from the bathroom, I hope she didn't slip in the tub! Buy a Roku.

    This is the second Roku express I purchased. The first one I got as a gift for someone, and they had no complaints with its performance. I actually have a 65 inch Sharp roku TV that just stopped working after having it a little over 2 years. (I won’t be recommending any sharp, Toshiba, or Hinese tv’s) My Back up TV is an older tv that didn’t have any built in streaming platforms. I already knew about the Roku express, and it also happened to be on sale at Best Buy. On top of that I also had a 5 dollar off coupon for Best Buy, so for 20 bucks with tax you can’t beat it. So far it’s been working great no problems. Set up was easy since I already had a Roku account. If your tech savvy you shouldn’t have a problem either.

    It does what it says. Users friendly instructions and even without instructions very ease to install and use. A very good alternative to lower your Spectrum cable bill which is ridiculous. Most of the cable channels are double and is full of music and other channels that nobody watch. Roku Premier does exactly the same and have the same features of the most expensive units. Good product and at an affordable price. JR

    Purchased 2 Roku Sticks to use instead of renting extra cable boxes. Easy to set up and use after downloading Spectrum app. Consider doing this to avoid monthly charges. Great picture and plenty of viewing choices.
