We have ALL models of the Roku sticks and ultras on 7 TVs in our home. Very easy to use, simple and easy interface and using these takes some of the effort off the TV itself. Meaning in many cases apps may function eve better since they are being run through Roku and not the TV thus it can dedicate more to its internal processing of what you are watching, upscaling, etc.

This is a replacement for my previous roku when the old remote failed. The price of remote ONLY was almost as much as a entire new roku so I opted for new. The new remote has had difficulty pairing with the tv, but I have been able to get it to work - it has lost the paring several times and I had to re-pair it which required several attempts each time. I like the new unit, but did not realize I would need to reload every channel that I had on the old roku and sign-in again to each. Perhaps this would be a consideration for the remote ONLY pricing vs the New roku.

Excellent streaming stick. I have a bunch of Roku devices and needed to get something less obtrusive for a tv going on the wall. Takes power from the TV’s USB port, so there is no additional wire to deal with, works very well and if it goes into older TV with slower CPU, this little stick makes the old and slow TV fast and snappy again

I <3 my Roku. I had been meaning to get a spare to replace a very, very old first edition. I stayed in a hotel that advertised that it had streaming available, but the remote on the TV would not allow me to switch the input and therefore had no streaming just cable. ( to be honest I think they were streaming the cable TV, but it didn’t have YouTube.). So I went to Best Buy and bought the Roku and now it’s going to travel with us everywhere in case the next hotel does not have it, but has Wi-Fi. This product was very, very easy to set up, especially since we already had an account.

I had an old Roku stick that finally was giving me trouble. Went to Best Buy and they steered me right to the new Roku stick. Installation was easy and painless and now everything is working perfectly

This is our fist time with the Stick. We have always had the small Rokus that sit in front/below the TV edge. Impressed with how well this picks up the house Wi-Fi signal. it shows a stronger signal strength than the previous Roku did. It does seem to load the apps faster, which Roku lists in the specs. Set-up is always easy, with Roku walking you through the necessary steps.
Be sure to check the physical location of the USB port you intend to use, you may need an extension cable or angle adapter of some kind. Ours was a little tight to get to, but that's the TV, not the Roku. The stick itself is small enough that it isn't visible in the front, and it cuts out having an additional HDMI cord in the jumble we already have.

Guys, I have to stand corrected on resisting buying this item. It really did help an old TV that I had with slow internet service. The remotes all tied into the 1 Roku remote and life's been good. I would recommend paying extra for the nicer stick.

Samsung decided to stop supporting some apps (like MLB) on older TVs, and I was resigned to buying a new one, even though the picture on our current TV is still fine. I didn't want yet another remote, but when I realized I could operate the TV's essentials -- on/off, volume, and choose a streaming service -- from the Roku remote, I figured, why not? The Roku is great. Loads apps faster than the TV did, the menu is easy to navigate, the old TV remote is in a box somewhere, and I saved a few hundred dollars. (P.S. For power, I plugged it into a wall outlet. The stupid TV kills the USB power when it's off, which thus shut down the Roku as well.)

My Smart Tv was locking up when streaming Paramount Plus. Haven’t had any issues since we started using ROKU. I would like it better if the remote had the backlit option.

I purchased two of these to replace the Roku Express we had. The streaming sticks are a definite upgrade! They were very easy to install; the directions were very easy to follow. Highly recommended!

Roku 4K works great! It’s a quick and easy set up. Enjoy fast access to all your favorite apps in one place. The volume on the controller and voice commands are the perfect addition or upgrade to your system.
