    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.

    Purchased the Roku Express HD Streaming Media Player with High Speed HDMI Cable with Simple Remote because my TV didn’t have some app’s that we wanted to watch. Set-up was easy. Plug into HDMI and follow the instructions. I have been using it just over a month with no issues. .

    For very little money ($25) I now have streaming back on my 1080p tv. I was using a fire stick and it was so slow to get connected. All my other TVs use Roku and never give me problems. So glad I now am a Roku home.

    I bought this Roku to stream live TV over the internet. It works great. All the normal streaming apps download to it. I have used it for over a month and no problems with it. If I had to have an issue with it. The Roku I bought does not have an adapter for an Ethernet cable. It works strictly off of the wifi

    Best for HD, not 4k, TV. Simple, though buttons are in near proximity, hit the wrong one on occasion.

    The Roku Express is an economical way to access just about every program available without having to incur the expense of a cable service (although you will need internet access and a router). It sets up quickly and is totally reliable. Yes, I used my Roku Express to watch "Hamilton" on Disney+.

    You said it was easy to install and use...I was skeptical, you don't know my lack of skill. However, while I was ready to have my grandkid come and install it, I thought, what the hey. It was easy to install, easy to use and I was even able to teach my wife to use it without a fight!

    Our second one for our guest TV

    We purchased one of these about 1-1/2 years ago for our master bedroom tv, and it’s been perfect. My only complaint is that I wish you could control TV on/off and volume, as we’d only need this one tiny remote. That said, we are very satisfied and got another for our guest bedroom TV. Loving it.

    We love our Roku for the fact that we turned an unused flat screen HD tv that we replaced in our bedroom into a "smart" one that we can use in our living room. Inexpensive, easy to set up and operate, with a greatly enhanced picture. Also love the channel choices.

    We had to let satellite tv go because of their raising the rate during the pandemic! Was greatly impressed by the ease of setup, and the variety of apps available to satisfy our viewing needs. Greatful that I finally became a cor cutter! So long Dish! Moved on to greener pastures!

    So excited that this gadget updated my 2013 Smart TV! I didn’t think I could add apps to my television, but this did all the work very quickly and easily!

    Very easy to set up, even for a 70+ year old. Takes a bit getting used to changing channels versus a cable remote, but nothing too daunting. Overall, very pleased, and we're saving money every month versus a cable box.

    I purchased the cheapest Roku available at Best Buy. I went in with the intent of buying a more expensive one but fortunately the sales representative talked me out of it. THANK YOU! Roku - Express works GREAT. Simple to install and use. Not sure why I waited so long...

    After I cut the cord, I started looking for a way to connect various old LCD tv's and this device has certainly exceeded my expectations. Over my WiFi, lag was barely existent and picture quality was excellent. Funny enough, I plan to get the Roku Elite for my smart tv as the provided apps are not that great.

    easy to set up and get working. We are using it for a senior family member - only improvement would be to be able to increase the letter/font size on the screen.

    Love the Roku! We got this because my Samsung smart tv was not able to stream Netflix anymore after Dec 2, 2019. Netflix said my model of my TV was not technically capable anymore. We ended up getting the Roku and we can watch all kinds of things now, even things that Netflix doesn’t have and it’s FREE!
