    We have a Roku practically in every room of our house. We put our Roku Express in the workout room so I can watch a show while I run! It's awesome and convient! Everything loads really quickly and runs smoothly when playing.

    This is easy to set up, and once set up it is very easy to use. I appreciate the many many free channels offered, plus offering basically all the pay channels requiring NO contract. Very pleased. Highly recommended.

    With the ever increasing price of cable, this was a good solution. Finding it on sale was even better!

    Easy to hook up, very inexpensive way to stream movies and watch TV in bedroom or mobile enough to put in camper just hotspot your phone. Cheap enough to have more than one and transfering room to room

    Needed a box when we went to streaming. For a “Let’s Try This One, it’s in stock” buy. Quick set up and go. As always new set of menus. Expected issue. Pleased for sure because the wife is happy with it as well.

    Extremely pleased with Roku. I have never owned any other streaming device-so no comparison. Roku is easy set up and easy to use. Definitely worth the price. Of course sale price is always better.

    Great Advise at Best Buy

    We are new to streaming and just "cut the cord" with Spectrum. I subscribed to Hulu+Live. I was very upset to find out my TV was a 2015 and wouldn't work with Hulu so I was advised to get Roku. It remedied the problem and the sales person at Best Buy was excellent in advising me to purchase this media player with my particular T.V. It works like a charm!

    Best price for same device. Even better than Amazon. I would recommend these. If you have Spectrum this is the only compatible one. Good deal and pleased with price

    We have a Roku ultra in the living room. The remote for it gives you the ability to turn the tv on and off, control the volume, and do voice search. With this model, we have it in the bedroom. It doesn’t have any of those capabilities with the remote. I would honestly just go ahead and get the Ultra. The product still works great though!

    It just works. It's simple to set-up and add some apps. This is way cheaper than the Apple TV with almost the same functionality. It's highly recommended for those who has TV with limited built-in apps.

    Who needs Cable when you have Roku. For a small device. It has a lot of nice features. Roku is a great value. A great way to save your money.

    Perfect except for no 5G connectivity

    Roku makes good devices, but I don't understand why the Roku Stick and Ultra are the only two devices of theirs that read 5G (our internet provider has a lot of issues with 2.4 in my building but 5G works great). Every other streaming device allows you to connect to both. It's strange, since Roku has the best interface and compatibility.
