    I didn't like it at all. It's pretty easy to set up, but the interface is just deplorable (It's not user-friendly at all.). I like the set up on Apple TV way better (I know it's way more expensive though.).

    I purchased this Roku at a discounted price. The device is good however, it can be better. This Roku does not have a power button. I prefer previous versions.

    I bought this Roku for a family member in another country, and I was told the Roku was a disappointment. The device didn’t have much, and many of the channels required extra charge. I personably, haven’t used this in the US. I had to return it.

    I have several Roku devices...mostly Premier and Premier +. Bought this one for a 1080p tv in the garage. The Roku Express constantly buffered. I hooked up one of my Roku Premier boxes in it's place...it worked perfectly. Returned the Roku Express to Best Buy and bought a Roku Premier to replace it permanently. I actually got the Premier cheaper than the price I paid for the Express since it was on sale that day. Even if you only need 1080p output...recommend you still by one capable of 4k.

    Was disappointed with product. Easy to install and use, but was very limited to what I was able to watch since Spectrum and roku are at odds. Returned in two days

    I'm not a fan of the Roku user experience. There are better options available that cost more but are work much better than this. User options are limited and the interface looks incredibly dated.

    It did NOT come with power plug luckily I had a newer tv with a USB port. The other 2 I bought 5 months ago did!! I only recommend if you have a newer tv with HDMI and USB. I also have another tv with the red, yellow, white (AV) ports... which can't use this product I have another analog with digital converter antenna for free local channels that you do not get with Roku channels unless you pay to stream them

    Bought it specifically for spectrum app but found out they discontinued the spectrum app 2020 of Dec. I found older reviews were misleading everyone to buy it for the spectrum tv app.

    It works good, if you can get it to remain connected to the Wi-Fi. When I turn my tv off it gets kicked off and won’t sign back in for days at a time sometime
