    The interface for this is easy for the kids to navigate. I can set up one account and have all the same applications downloaded to the individual devices. Parental controls for the individual apps work pretty well.

    Worked great to view The Chosen Episode 5 which came out while we were on a camping trip with no wifi available. The Chosen app allowed me to throw it from my phone to our TV so we could watch on larger screen. Great picture and no issues with quality. Great buy for us.

    I really like these Roku players. I have 2 of these. One is on the tv in my office at work and the other one is hooked up to the TV in my master bedroom. Great product, definitely better than the Amazon Fire Stick

    Really slick little device. Took 10 minutes to set up and I was in business. Even though this is one of the lower end offerings from Roku, it's fast and works great. I was worried that streaming over wireless would be a problem (my other roku is wired) but it is not. No issues with latency or bandwidth.

    Be aware that this is the simple and basic version of Roku. That is, doesn’t control TV and is not 4K. Didn’t need 4K but would’ve been nice to power TV on and control volume with one remote. Roku has excellent selections and it was on sale so it was ok fore the guest room. If it was an everyday used item, I would have to upgrade to a better remote.

    This is a great option for those TVs where there is an HDMI port, but no smart features. Even if you do have a smart TV, the Roku interface is clean, just about any app you would want is available and it's easy enough to use that you can trust it with the less technologically inclined.

    Roku Express is easy to set up and easy to use. It's great having the extra stations without Cox's high costs.

    Purchase this for a slower smart TV in our second entertainment area mainly for Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+. Like the ability to clean up all the preinstalled channels and impressed with how fast it was. definitely better than the default smart apps in the TV. great purchase for the price.

    I am brand new to streaming. My cable bill went up and got less channels and decided to cut the cord. Got this Roku Express and set up was a breeze. So much so that I went and bought another one for my other room.

    This is just a great steaming option, I didn't need volume control because I have it in a projector and it doesn't work for that anyway. Other than that it works just as great as the 4k one I have in the living room, I really appreciate that. If you only need 1080p and don't need TV controls, I highly recommend.

    Works great just like it should, setup is fast. Got it because I was tired of my Samsung smart TV not always loading my apps or being very slow to load. Love that has buttons for opening directly to Netflix Hulu and Disney +. Included hdmi cable is really short though.

    In the past year HULU has been dropping support on some devices. I used a blu-ray player to access HULU. I ASSUMED it was the age of the player, so I purchased a new one. To my surprise HULU did not work. I learned that Roku was still supporting HULU. I purchased my 2nd stick. Roku solved a problem for me. Now, all is right with my world. I can watch past seasons of Last Man Standing.

    I really like the simplicity of using a Roku. This is being used in our living room for streaming with multiple apps. It is easy to use, add more apps, and navigate through the menus. Got it on sale for a great deal!

    Bought this because my Roku premiere sucks, for some reason it has a hard time picking up my wifi so I hope this doesnt do the same thing. Honestly this works just as well as the premiere one (when it worked). I only use this for streaming so this is a good buy. Easy to set up.
