I love the roku streaming stick! Easy set up and great on screen guide. Very responsive remote control, so far I do not have any complaints!

My parents aren't the most tech-savvy folks out there, but they're always showing interest in watching the latest content on Hulu/Netflix. I wanted to get something for them that was easy to use and the Roku did not disappoint. I helped with some basic configurations, but was happy to see that the next time I visited, they had figured out how to access Pandora radio and had no trouble navigating apps and finding new ones they'd enjoy. Price was a bit high when compared to my sister's Amazon Fire stick, but it does what I needed it to do!

The Roku streaming stick is a great way to add smarts to your old TV or a better smart TV interface to your existing set. Roku is well established and has a wide range of apps that are available.
My criticisms of the streaming stick are minor:
- The microUSB cable to provide power AND an ethernet connection, rather than WiFi, is an optional accessory instead of being the standard cable that is included. The larger smart streaming boxes include an ethernet port.
- The included remote doesn't allow voice search or have a keyboard. This can partially be fixed by using the Roku app on a phone or tablet, but it would be nice if those input features were included with the standard remote.

We were using old time NetGear equipment. We got the Roku Stick on the recommendation of our son. It is much faster and very easy to use.

This is my 4th Roku product. It's perfect for a cheap streaming solution. This one is noticeably faster than the earlier generation model.

There were many portable chargers on the market and ended up picking this up on a bestbuy sale during Oct time (2017). Holds charge very well and it does come with a charging cord which is great too! Definitely would recommend.

Purchased 4 different kinds of Roku sticks. Even the cheapest one works great, it just does not have a power button and volume control (which are nice to have). They all work great with my router/modem wi-fi set up also. Just wish they had Numbers on them, easier to pick a station on Sling TV.

Small and nifty, the Roku literally has all the streaming apps you need on it. With the exception of Apple Purchases, you can stream almost anything, even then you can get most of your stuff on the Movies Anywhere app. There are ton of channels to choose from, games too. This particular device just plugs right into the HDMI port. You can plug the power into the wall or the USB port and be good to go. Roku is ready to start up once you turn the TV on and it's all just very fluid. I loved it so much I bought two.

I wanted to upgrade my "not smart" tv and this did the job perfectly. The non IR remote is a bonus (doesn't need to be pointed) .
It's a great price for the results you'll get.

Easy to install and works like a charm. I use it with Sling so I can get my TCM fix. Way cheaper than cable. Does not take up much space either.

Made my tv a smart tv

So glad i bought this little device. My TV is now a smart tv. I use playstation vue.. And its sooo much cheaper than cable. And i also can easily cast to this from my phone with little to no effort. My only issue is the remote becomes unprogrammed after sitting idle for a couple of hours. But that gets taken care of if i just turn the unit off and back on. Theres plenty of channels to be downloaded especially from major cable channels and there are more being added all the time just log in and u are watching cable tv live. No box needed.

I bought the roku because the smart TV features of my LG tv suck. They are super slow and they crash all the time, especially for YouTube. I bought this thing and the speed of it beats the smart TV easily. The one thing I've had a little issue with was the remote sometimes not responding when I tried to switch between content but that comes and goes. Don't know if that's a fluke or what but I might exchange because of that. Besides the remote, it works great and I like it better than the amazon fire stick which I tried before this.

I picked up the Roku Streaming stick as a way to easily add Netflix to an "older" non-smart TV in my house. Super easy to setup, and amazing video quality. Plus the range of channels available was beyond my expectations. I have two Apple TV's, and this tiny device compares favorably to them. Traveling with it is great… I use it at friends and relatives homes to watch everything from Netflix, to HBO to ESPN. Using Plex to access and stream my local content was yet another pleasant surprise. For less than 50 bucks this is a bargain.

This Roku stick is a great option for someone who wants to make their TV “smart”. It allows you to consolidate all of you pay video services into one device. We love it, and need to buy another one, possibly two, for home.

I mostly use it for spectrum so that I don’t have an ugly cable box wire hanging out from my TV mount. I also like the Amazon app where I find the quality is really good. I have a 4K TV and this little thing does the trick!
