    I love the Roku Stick. Affordable and does everything it is advertised to do. Has many features and I love the fact that I get emails showing hints and additional things this little item does. Not only is the price right but it is effortless to use and it has saved me a little more than $100/month by not having cable. Also, you can take it with you! Only very slight issue would be a little buffering but very slight... also stick gets very warm but not has super HOT as the Amazon Fire Stick I initially purchased. I returned it because it kept shutting my TV down and screen also went black and froze, and purchased the Roku Stick.

    The Roku Stick has good speed when opening and closing apps. I use a TV streaming service and on another streaming device which buffers often. The Roku Stick streams the same service flawlessly.

    I have one in my living room TV and bought this one for my son's room. These things work great. We can watch many programs and movies on youtube, Plex, Showtime, HBO, HULU, Netflix and I can stream things from my tablets and phones to the TV as well. It opens up so many more programs and things to watch. We can watch our shows and movies and we can find and stream programming for the kids as well when they want to watch something. I highly recommend the Roku.

    Bought this for a small tv in our kitchen. It's great because it just plugs into the HDMI port and gets its power from a USB outlet on the back of the tv so there are no cords. So just plug in the Tv power cord and it's good to go. The spectrum app works better than our charter cable box and this way we don't have to pay $7 a month to rent a cable box... very happy with the purchase!

    My 5th Roku device! I was looking for a less expensive but just as powerful streaming device as my other four Roku's. Thought a moment about a couple of competitors' devices, but opted to go with the brand that I had nothing but great luck with for over five years. I haven't been disappointed!

    So far, so good. I appreciate the shorter usb cord that allows use of the stick in tight places (as shown). This one feature is a great improvement from the original streaming stick. So, far no issues and performs as needed.

    Roku is the king of streaming, with more worthwhile apps than anybody else. Its search runs circles around the competition, hitting most major services and presenting the results by price. And I like its interface better too, with its full customization giving the power to arrange the apps you want, where you want them.

    I love roku and so purchased this for on of our tv that isn't a smart tv. When i tried to connect the stick to the tv it wouldn't fit because the stick was too long. The area on the tv that had the connections was boxed in therefore not allowing the stick to fit. if it was maybe an inch smaller, the stick that is, then it probably would fit. i should have taken a pic with the stick inside but forgot.

    I had another version of Roku that was damaged by lightning and this stick does the trick. It has not let me down yet. With many features and many new editions as well, such as Sling TV is awesome. I love and my wife loves it a lot.
