I was hesitant to try Roku but the price was so good at Best Buy that I decided to give it a try. It was so easy to plug in and start using and much cheaper that buying a new smart TV. We love it!

This tiny stick replaces an older Roku set top box, and beats it in every measure. Better app performance. Faster response time. Less space and wires. So inexpensive. Win, win, win, win, win!

Simple to use. Just plug into the hdmi slot on the TV log in to wifi and start watching movies or shows using the roku remote. Recommend signing up to Netflix for many free movies and series.

I had chromecast 4 six months. It messed up so often that it became un-useable. Thank god for roku. It works flawlessly .. had it for a couple months. I use it mainly for streaming thru Plex from pC to tv & Netflix. Totally recommend it! Screw chromecast!

I chose the roku because the menus is a lot simpler then the fire stick. And i like that rokus has an option for kid friendly channels. My kids love watching the toy review channels. But there are atleast 100 if not more free kid channels. We did have a previous version of the roku but i accidently washed the remote, couldnt find an original roku remote online (though after buying this i found out the roku site sells them. Out of the box i noticed this roku UI was alot smother and faster then the previous version. My kids sometimes used to tell me the old roku was un responsive and i had to reboot it. but this one, has none of those issues and its already been almost 4 months.

This has been a great device, thought about cutting cable and thought this was a good starting place. The interface works, like the feed to tell me about new shows across the various apps. I've used it in a few hotels and it handles the authentication pages well. I have noticed it gets pretty hot but haven't had a problem yet. I was dissapointed to find this didn't come with the remote with the headphone jack but my son tried out the sound through the android app and it worked fine. Have really enjoyed the experience I'm thinking of buying the Roku 4.

This updated Roku stick works much faster than my older version. I replaced my old Roku stick because I clumsily tripped over the cord where I have it plugging into the wall and it ripped the Roku apart with such force that it was irreparable. I considered not replacing it and just using a smart DVD player but the one I had was not WiFi compatible and I don't have an Ethernet port in that room. Alas I gave in and bought another, and I am delighted that the newer version is actually much faster than the old one. My old one would randomly disconnect from the WiFi and buffer quite often. This one is working very smoothly. Happy with my purchase and I would recommend this.

Bought this for one of my TV's that was not a smart TV and I couldn't be happier. Awesome product with a variety of apps and can take it anywhere you go with your laptop or tablet as long as you have an electrical outlet. Make sure you buy this 2016 model over the older one which has a much slower processor.

I wanted access to Netflix and Amazon video and this Roku was a perfect fit for me. There are lots of other apps and programming available (Hulu, for example) but I have not yet used them.
Easy to install and hook to wifi.
Would highly recommend it.

I've had my Roku for over a month now, and still exploring all the channels it has to offer. The remote fits comfortably in your hand and very simple to use. Great product and recommend highly.

I have 2 other Roku's and I had heard the stick was usually a little slower. I am pleasantly surprised that it works very well. I haven't noticed any decrease in speed. My only complaint is the control, it is not as robust as my other controls and the "OK" button is in the middle of the arrow buttons so I feel it's a little awkward. Otherwise, it's been working great!

Great product and simple to use. Much cheaper option in comparison to buying a Smart-TV or Smart Blu-Ray. Love the mobility and the option of transferring it between tv's in different rooms.

The Roku stick is super simple to setup and use. I've had a Roku 2 and a Roku 3, and I prefer the Roku stick for it's simplicity and overall performance for the price. Highly recommended!

I did need to use an HDMI extension cable to get the Roku stick away from the back of the TV. Once that was done, it was stutter-free and fast. It's been working perfectly for several months.

So I purchased this because I love roku products I have owned Apple tabs and amazon products and by far roku is the best! That being said I own 2 roku 3s and I have a small tv in my kitchen I wanted Netflix on so I decided to try out the roku stick to see how it weighs in compaired to the roku 3
Long story short here it is.
Cons
the remote is cheesy in comparison to the roku 3
Movies do like to freeze now and again which I've never had to deal with the roku 3
Pros
It's very reliable like all the roku products
Very compact
Cheap
Over all I would say to shell out a little more for the roku 3 or higher if you can but if you can't the roku stick is very nice and will work great!

Roku allows Charter customers to leverage their accounts. Couldn't do that with Fire Stick. Speed is fine and price when on sale at BB couldn't be beat. Super easy setup and connection.

This Roku was much faster than any other Roku that I have ever had. It was great, then the wifi remote wouldn't stay connected to the streaming stick so I had to return it. It worked great with the Roku app, just not the remote. The new version of the Roku streaming stick is even better. SOOO wanted to give it five stars, but the remote broke in less then a week.
