    Roku Streaming Stick 4K: Perfect for Parents!

    I got the Roku Streaming Stick 4K for my parents, and they absolutely love it! They’re not super tech-savvy, but this little device is so easy to use that they figured it out right away. The remote is simple, with just the right amount of buttons, and the voice control makes finding their shows a breeze. The picture quality is fantastic—4K really makes a difference, especially on their newer TV. They were amazed at how clear everything looked! Plus, it’s super fast when switching between apps like Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube, so they’re not sitting around waiting for things to load. What I love most is how everything is organized in one place. My parents no longer have to jump between confusing menus or multiple remotes—it’s all right there on the Roku. If you’re looking for something affordable and user-friendly, especially for older family members, this is a perfect choice. My parents now watch their favorite shows without calling me every five minutes for tech help—win-win!

    Bought this because Google TV is so laggy

    I bought a 55 inch TCL QLED in November. Amazing budget TV but the Google TV software is so laggy and buggy plus TV does not support airplay. I decided to go to Best Buy and buy this Roku streaming stick and it is phenomenal. The picture looks amazing and it is so fast. The remote is great, and the voice command works flawlessly. The main reason I bought this was so I could use airplay. I definitely recommend this product to anybody who is frustrated with their Google TV OS.

    Streaming Stick to the Rescue

    Easily turn your smart TV into a Roku TV with the streaming stick. The beauty of this device, as opposed to a Roku Express (less expensive option) is that the Roku remote is all you will need. It not only changes channels and apps but also controls the volume, so you can set the TV's original remote aside and only have to keep up with one device. Definitely a game changer for our family! Installation was easy; just plug it in and the device walks you through every step. This remote also has voice control, which is a neat feature we had never used before. I purchased a stick for two other non-Roku TV's after being thoroughly impressed with the function of this device.

    Roku vs. Flex Box

    When my Comcast Bill went up, I picked a slower speed Plan (had 200+ Mbps. which I didn't need anyway, went to 50 Mbps.), unfortunately their Flex Box was not included in that Plan. So I bought the Roku Stick during "Prime Days" for $29.99 - $10.00 Certificate = $19.99 + tax Total with Free Shipping. So far it has worked well with good Wi-Fi Reception (note Bar on Power Cord in Photo) and a clear sharp picture through my Rear HDMI Input. My TV is a 46" 1080p HD, so I can't attest to 4K quality and I would actually Overall Rate it as 4 1/2 Stars if possible. The Voice Remote is a bit temperamental and the TV Volume and especially the Mute Button are awkwardly placed on the side of the Control which I often inadvertently press. In general a good Unit which I was pleased worked on my now slower Internet Speed. Only minor differences compared to the Flex Box, although I would like an Input and lighted Buttons on the Remote Control like it has.

    I had purchased the Roku streaming stick for my mother. She had previously used a HDMI cord and her computer to watch her favorite app Spectrum. I watched her become super annoyed with charging her laptop and plugging in the HDMI cord. Now she does not have to plug in a long cord. She hasn't removed the streaming stick from her LG TV. She loves this remote and stick because she can watch local news channels, Netflix, Hulu, and Youtube with or without a smart tv. The voice control is her favorite feature because she no longer has to search through apps but talk aloud what she wants to watch.

    We bought this item to stream content for kids in our GMC Yukon with the two screens that only came with use for Hulu and Youtube/Youtube Kids. We dont use those streaming sites for our young kids so we had to go out and buy this for their shows on road trips. Easy to setup and connect to car’s wifi. Hopefully will work out well for our family.

    Have always used Playstation for streaming apps and not one to replace TVs often. All apps not available on other platforms (Like PS4/5) available here, simple to set up and use, can stream/cast from other devices too. Downside: requires a power source either by USB or standard outlet (cube included) and may not be able to attach depending on shape of television and where port is located. ROKU offers a free adapter that fixes the issue but you need to try to install before realizing you need the adapter and then order it online free of charge. It is a small female to male HDMI adapter if you wanted to order ahead just in case but they do offer the free cable, you just have to wait another couple days before you can use the device which can be annoying.

    I did already have a Roku connected to one of our tvs but it was the cheaper model with the small box that needs to be by the tv and in view. When we purchased another tv for a different room, we purchased this upgraded one which I just love. You just need to aim anywhere near the tv, you don’t see anything in front of the tv, and it’s 4k. The quality of the tv picture does not get diminished with this Roku. I recommend buying this one.

    We cut our tv cable subscriptions and only have internet. The Roku Streaming Stick 4K is great for watching hundreds of free shows. We do have one streaming service we pay for. I am very satisfied with the purchase. It was very easy to plug in and set up on the TV. I like it also because I have Apple ipads and iphone and wanted to stream to my tvs. The Roku allows you to download airplay and I can now stream from my apple products. I have been referring Roku to my friends and associates.

    The ROKU device was easy to setup and navigate right out of the box. We purchased the device to lessen our Xfinity bill. This saved us over $100 dollars after we purchased the YouTubeTV to be able to watch our pro baseball team using the device. Now also taking advantage of Amazon Prime video that we did not use until we purchased the Roku streaming stick. To keep you bill down and your savings up keep subscription purchases to a minimum.

    Works well. Purchased to supplement my LG Smart TV, Roku has the NCHC TV app and my LG TV did not have it. This plugs right into the HDMI port and USB port on my TV. Roku Remote can power the TV on and off along with control volume.

    Easy to use and I like the interface than other streaming devices. Didn't like how the remote control battery life expectancy drain a lot when using voice assistance, but I'm glad there is an app for that so I can use as a remote control. The brightness was too bright for my eyes and I wish I can change the brightness.

    This device is the best thing since sliced bread. It's EXTREMELY easy to set up and simple to navigate through! It's a 10 out of 10 as far as I'm concerned. If you're thinking about purchasing a streaming stick, this is the one! I love it so much, I purchased the exact same streaming stick for my master bedroom....

    The Roku is easy to connect and navigate. Its UI is simple and the star button is the MVP. Only thing is I wish it had is a small USB extender similar to the Firestick. But you can order one for free from Roku and it arrives pretty quick.
