    In my opinion, ROKU sets the standard for managing apps and streaming services. I have a smart TV that I choose ROKU over the built in capabilities because it works easier and faster in many cases. I have 6 ROKUs and love them all

    Super easy to install and set up. Basically you plug it in and you are ready to go. I love Roku more and more every day. In fact, I don’t think anybody will miss cable TV anymore

    I bought this for a friend who has a smart tv but was having trouble streaming her Hulu/Netflix and other things. It was super easy for her to install (she’s not remotely tech savvy) and it instantly word and sorted her out! I’ll get one for my guest bedroom tv for sure

    Excellent Streaming device. Easy setup. One drawback is the limitation of the remote. Would be better if it included the ability to control the TV power, functions, and volume. I ended purchasing the advanced version of the remote separately.

    Don’t leave home without it! We take it to hotels whenever we travel. It hooks up very easily into any HDMI connection. For the price, you can’t get a better entertainment device to carry with you when traveling.

    I have tried Roku and Chromecast, and definitely I'm a fan of Roku. It has more built it options and free apps to stream. Installation is easy and guided. Actually recommended to some friends and they loved it too!

    This was very easy to set up proven by allowing my 11 year old grand daughter to install. I really liked that once we logged into our internet account that all of the apps on our other Roku devices allowed us to log into all of those apps without having to reenter passwords.

    Easy to use, good price. This is my third one as I now have one for each tv instead of moving them around. Love being able to travel with them. My granddaughter loves borrowing this. I am not a techie and I am able to use it.

    This is truly idiot proof. Set this up within 10 minutes of opening the box. Interface is clear and intuitive. Cable really doesn’t have a chance with devices like this. The $29 price point was the closer. No need to get AppleTV for 4x the cost. Great purchase!

    Had a Roku stick for several years so decided to get more for other TV's, especially in light of the shelter in place order. These work great, super easy to install with step by step instructions and at a great price. Bought two and will be buying two more.

    love it, easy to install, lots of free streaming, also streaming I pay for. I cant get some shows like Hulu on my 2 yr old Sony and Vizio TVs but I can with my Roku, Hulu is great on Roku. I bought 3 Roku's and 3 more for Christmas gifts.

    Great Use for Older Flat Screen Tv’s

    I Purchased a Roku during Christmas time and was disappointed it didn’t work on my older flat screen television, but didn’t have to return due to the fact I had a brand new flat screen television in the living room where it fit perfectly. I was determined to have a Roku device for my older flat screen television in my room. Four months later I was on the Best Buy website and found this new Roku device you have to plug into the wall. Been a happy camper since. Only draw back is the newest device not voice activated, but oh well you can’t have it all. Very Satisfied!

    This is an amazing device! Rather than add a cable box, I got this. It's portable, convenient, and has many features. It takes a little getting used to, as the remote is different from the one for the cable box, but once you use it a while, it's easy.

    I needed an additional Roku for one of my guest bedrooms. This Express model did the trick. It was fast and easy to install, which allowed my guests to be able to launch our Spectrum cable app (download from the available apps listed on the menu), in addition to other apps like Hulu and Netflix. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a simple, no-frill, version of Roku.
