Disappointing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We were really disappointed with this Roku. Setting it up was more complicated then it should have been, once setup Disney+ would buffer so much it was difficult to watch anything. We’d have to login to our Hulu account every time we’d want to watch it. There also isn’t a way to just power off the roku, the only way is to set a timer and the least amount of time is 30 min. After a few days we returned it and bought an Apple TV. The Best Buy employee told us this particular model gets returned a lot.

Not what I wanted....Need a CC to work.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I guess it worked? I was disappointed that Roku wanted a CC to work. I have internet/services. I was trying to "Bluetooth" an older TV to my network. I learned this was not the technology I wanted. It is in the landfill now.......

I don't think Roku updates this product anymore
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this brand new at a Best Buy store. After a couple trys I was able to connect it to my wifi. Then I got a message saying the Roku needed to be updated. I could not get it to update. I think Roku stopped updating this product. I took it back to the store. I decided to try an Amazon Fire Stick and was going to purchase it at the Best Buy store but Best Buy would not Price Match the price I found on Amazon. So I bought it from Amazon. ONE STAR goes to both Roku and Best Buy.

Good but not Great

Stopped working after the return policy went out.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought two to trade out a few cable boxes and they worked fine for almost 2 weeks and then all of a sudden they stopped connecting to the internet. I was on the phone with my internet provider for a day and a half and there was no problem on their end, as the Rokus were the only devices not connecting. Tablets computers, smart TV's and another streaming stick (3-year-old Amazon Firestick) were still able to connect to the internet. When I tried to return it, I had barely missed the 15 days return policy, which means I'm stuck with 2 Rokus that do not work. I tried the troubleshoot recommendations but they did not have any resolve and the help center is closed for COVID.

Let's Talk About Roku
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.).

Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Not good for me
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
