    Work great, no issues. Turned my old TVs into smart tvs. I have purchased and installed about 45 of these in the last couple months and they always work and there are no surprises. The only thing i do not like is that Roku makes you setup a credit card.

    I already have a Roku Stick on one of the TV's in my house and with three people living here it was getting a little annoying to share, especially with everyone at home right now. So, a new one for another TV was great. This one might be better than the stick, it doesn't get hot like the stick does and was cheaper! Super easy set up and even my deeply bad with technology dad is figuring out how to navigate it pretty easily.

    I cannot believe the value of this for the price. We've been chromecast users for years and the price of the new chromecast thing (home?) is debilitating for us to buy and rebuy. This is a fraction of even the former chromecast cost (let alone the home thing) and it is just as functional as the new version from Google and far better than Chromecast.

    This particular purchase was a Christmas gift, so I can't speak for the person I bought it for. However, I have the exact same item, and I love it. I've had my Roku Express for several months, and I'm still discovering things about it, including new channels to add. It has been totally worth the money, which is why I chose to buy one as a gift for my brother. I'd absolutely recommend this item.

    I had given a flat screen TV to my grand kids to mostly be used for video games. It was a TV without too many extra features. So I purchased this Roku unit to help get them many other forms of entertainment. It was easy to set up and offer many channels for them to choose from. It was also a great bargain as far as price for the features. I would highly recommend one if you have a TV that doesn't offer this already.

    I needed a way to stream Disney+ and HBO max to an older Samsung 55” Smart TV. I went with Roku Express because if its low sale cost of $25 and the small size and liked it so much that I bought a 2nd one. The Roku (Express) solved multiple problems. Amazingly simple to set up and has single push buttons for Disney+ and Netflix. There are so many channels and so much free content to see.

    At only $30 this is a great budget option for getting into a roku or as a second unit. I’m using this one as my second roku in my bedroom. It is easy to set up, only offers an ir remote so you need to point it at the roku receiver but this has not been an issue. This only offers a wifi not direct connect but works just fine on my wifi network. I like this and will probably get more for other tvs.

    I got my MiL a Roku 2 a few years go and she's been complaining that it was slow and that she lost her remote and had to use the app on her phone. I bought her the Roku Express for Xmas and she's happy and stopped complaining. It's smaller much faster than the Roku 2 and it comes with a sticker to put it on the wall (yes it's that small)

    I should have done this years ago, it's an amazing product. I've been paying nearly $300 a month for cable/internet service. I've cut my bill in half, I picked up a $20 antenna from Best Buy for local channels and I'm all set now. I definitely would recommend Roku with a big 5 stars.

    Everyone encouraged me to go with Fire stick but some how i wanted to try Roku, as i wanted to try something new rather than going with the flow. Trust me this didn’t disappoint me. Later i thought i should have opted for a different Roku device which has volume controls built in so that we can avoid using multiple remotes while operating, Would highly recommend that if anyone wants to purchase Roku

    I have a 2014 Vizio smart TV with 1080p resolution, and Vizio has stopped supporting the app store for this model. This Roku dongle solves that problem for me at a very reasonable price. It even offers Discovery+, which none of my other devices support yet. Unless you must have greater than 1080p or insist upon a voice-actuated remote, this device will serve you well.

      Hi Eric, Thank you for reaching out! If your Roku Express is overheating and glitching, try moving it to a cooler, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and other electronics. Unplug it to let it cool down. Switch to a wall outlet for better performance if you're using your TV's USB port for power. If issues continue, please get in touch with us at support.roku.com/contactus for assistance. Happy streaming! Roku Customer Advocate roku

    When the pandemic started back in March, 2020 - I bought my kids this Roku device for their rooms - to help save my sanity while everyone was stuck at home. They were such a hit and so easy to use that I bought another for my room - replacing the Firestick that had been in there previously. I found the Roku to be much easier to use with less glitches than the Firestick.

    Easy to install and use, this is the best way I could find to stream pretty much anything to our tv (including mirroring the screen of my iPad or Mac). If you have a 4K tv you might want to spend a little more and get a 4K compatible model, but the picture quality of this is good enough for me.
