Customer Ratings & Reviews

Our Roku stick maintains an excellent internet connection and I really appreciate how well it works with our older televisions (adjusting volume and turning power on/off). It worked out so great for the family, that we purchased two of them for the TV's not connected to cable. We got each unit step up in a matter of minutes. Much easier to use then the Apple TV we have.

This item,works great, and is very inexpensive, easy to install and use.

I thought that I would try this out as I am considering getting one for a relative who will soon be off to a collegate career, but I cannot in good conscience give even a thought anymore. My main issues is that this particular model is apparently very sensitive to overheating and the basicly non-existent customer support team for this model just make it not worth the asking price. The only good thing I find about this unit is in it's portability, even though it still does need a high speed modem to connect to in order to operate it like every other streaming device available at this time, so I find the need for the Roku App to be just a rediculously stupid concept to be required for it's operation. The media apps, or channels as they are to be refered as, that are dedicated to this device brand just suck all the way around as far as I am concerned, especially when it comes to updating content of any relivence to your preferences which is always very frustrating and annoying.

This roku streaming stick works perfectly. We have no issues. Makes streaming hulu , netflix , prime video, etc easy and all from one remote control.

I have a regular TV in a room with no cable so used a Chrome Cast Watch things from my tablet and it would constantly freeze or stop. I got the Roku so I wouldn’t have to cast anymore and it is so much more convenient. I have everything on there that I use to cast plus a lot more and I don’t get frustrated because I don’t have anymore freezing and restarting.

I was looking to reduce my current cable bill and wanted to eliminate the cable boxes from my provider. This device allowed me to stream the cable content. I found the picture quality was only fair, and I ended up returning this model and purchased the Roku Premiere. The Premiere remote does not have power on/off or volume control which I had to give up. I personally felt a better picture that was afforded by the Premiere at 4K was more important than the added features on the Roku stick.

Picked up a nice “dumb” tv from a friend, he recommended Roku. Now I get everything I want in my room at no extra cost.

I have owned Roku since it first came out. I have given several away to family so they could enjoy this device. We have a 5 bedroom home and each one has a Roku, its better and cheaper than cable in them. Our family can't do without it, so many apps and channels in one device. Several of my friends now own Roku because of my recommendation as well. You can't go wrong with Roku.

This Roku Streaming Stick was originally bought for a larger living room television. Set-up was flawless, but the resolution was subpar...a Roku Streaming Stick Plus easily corrected that. The Streaming Stick was moved to a smaller bedroom television where it performs very well. Both units have the power button and volume controls that we prefer. We would recommend the Streaming Stick for basic use only, and would not hesitate to get the Streaming Stick Plus for all else. We got this item as an excellent Deal of the Day!

We have an older Panasonic Plasma TV that we still love - so when it was time to figure out a way to get rid of Direct TV - we needed to come up with a way to be able to stream YouTube TV to all of our TV's. The Roku Streaming Stick was the perfect solution for the one non- smart TV we had. Easy to use and does a great job!

After plugging the new Roku stick into the television, installation was completed in less than 15 minutes, and was simple. Now I can easily watch Netflix, Prime tv, or ESPN events that are not on the main ESPN channels. It was a nuisance to plug my computer into the tv previously. I also like that the newer Rokus have tv power control and volume control that my older Roku did not.

I recently upgraded from and older Roku stick. This version is really fast and works great. The voice search works well. It searches across all channels, which is nice. Although when you select a show from the search it will play the first episode instead of wherever you left off. It's a pretty minor inconvenience. Also works well when casting from a phone or watching videos from a Plex server.

A couple of months ago, I decided to cut the cable cord. My daughter recently did the same thing and recommended the Roku Streaming Stick. I am so glad I followed her recommendation. It was easy to install and I love that my chosen channels are easily viewed. I am not the most techology-advanced person, but even I found this so easy to use. So glad I bit the bullet and made this choice.

Good basic media streaming device. I purchased one of these for each of my parents as they wanted to start streaming Netflix and Amazon media. They are both Technologically challenged. I often feel like Sisyphus when I try to help them with technological issues, however this was very easy for them to use after I set it up and they are enjoying the many hours of happy streaming

Love the ease of use for the Roku. Sharp picture and lots of viewing options.

Very easy to install and to activate. User friendly. A lot of apps to choose from,

Great and easy to use. Very good for the price and value

I bought this model to stream channels to my Panasonic “not so smart” Viera TV. Installation was a breeze except the Roku remote would not sync with my TV. So now I have use two remotes. That’s the reason for not rating this five star. Roku should also supply a short HDMI extender cable like Amazon does with their Firestick. I had to buy an extender cable. In the end I opted to move my Roku to another TV and use a Firestick for my Panasonic. The Firestick remote synced with my Panasonic immediately. Nice job Amazon.

I have been using roku for over a year. They work great. You can get a lot of free shows on it. You can watch old shows or movies. You can enter the name of a TV show or movie and it will tell you which app it is on. Lots of apps you can easily download. If you like sports.there are lots of sports channels. Lots of weather. Movie channels. Cartoon channels. Something for everyone

Love the new features the remote has to turn off the tv and control the volume
