Works very well for what it is. I would like to be able to remove Roku advertising from "home" landing as well as more Apps

Worth the extra money for this version of Roku-Ultra 2024. The added ability to connect the 3rd party Wi-Fi devices giving the ability for high quality wireless audio. One minor negative is the lack of a numeric keypad on the remote requires the use of voice operations. Not all of the apps are the same and require speaking differently to some of them.

I absolutely love my Roku! It’s incredibly easy to use and navigate. I’ve wanted to cut the cable cord for years but kept putting it off—wish I had done it sooner. Roku made the switch painless and totally worth it. All my favorite streaming apps are right there, and setting it up was a breeze. Highly recommend if you're thinking of ditching cable and going streaming! To be fair, I'm using Roku on an older, flat screen TV which is not a Smart TV, I am not sure I would use or need Roku if/when I get a Smart TV.
My one complaint is with their Live TV, I am unable to choose which episode I would like to watch. For example, The Goldbergs plays on Roku's Live TV, you'd think they would also stream The Goldbergs and one would be able to choose the episode to watch, I haven't found how to do that, or if it's even possible without using another app within Roku.
Roku Ultra is a great product at a very good price

This Roku Ultra is being used on an old LED TV that does not have Bluetooth. It was very easy to set up and now allows me to use my Bluetooth headphones while watching programs.

I ordered this unit to replace a previous generation Ultra that was glitching frequently; apps would sometimes freeze as they launched, streams would lose the audio or play without captions. This would necessitate a reboot to solve the issues. While this new version seems to function more smoothly, the same issues persist, though they occur less frequently. I'm hopeful that the ongoing firmware updates will help alleviate these annoyances. Overall, it's still an excellent player, and I would recommend it.

A great purchase. This device is extremely simple to use, and allows all streaming apps we subscribe to, to function with the same level of ease. This is extremely important for my wife and I since we are very old and can be technically challenged at time.
The Dolby Vision looks great on our LG G4.

I've had many streaming boxes,including NVIDIA Shield Tivo, Google TV, ONN. This is a winner. I avoided it because no Google play store. I've learned that the reason that Roku won't allow the play store is that they can't guarantee that the apps will work with their boxes. That makes sense. I had buffering issues with other boxes, but not with Roku. This is just my opinion. I love it.

I bought this for my father as he has a bit older flatscreen TV that wasn't "smart" like the current TVs. The TV still works good, but this Roku increased the value of the older TV five fold. The Roku was easy to use for my Dad as he's a bit older. Dare I say, this was easier to use than his Samsung TV. 10/10

had a TV with a different operating system that was always buggy and caused issues, i have always had great success from the simplified Roku setup and since the TV was a 4k tv i wanted to keep the 4K use with this roku setup

I've owned many Roku players and televisions. I'm very happy I upgraded to the Ultra because now I can plug directly into the cable modem and every show loads up immediately compared to any of my other players that were only wireless. I even have a whole home mesh system and the wireless players struggle to load content, but not the Ultra. I highly recommend it.

I bought this for my Samsung TV bc I hate the Samsung TV home screen and it works great. It's fast and quality is perfect for the picture. I love the remote and I'm able to adjust the volume up and down

I bought this as a replacement for my old worn out Roku. It is working quite well. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of 5 star review is that I don't like the voice buttons on the side.

Like all Roku products this item is also a very good remote. The upgrades, backlit buttons, wireless connect ability, find my remote function and other items are a very nice. Found it on sale and bought two in the event I wanted to switch another older Roku product out. This is my sixth Roku product and all of my tvs use Roku even thought several tvs are upper end smart tvs. Just easier and dependable.
