I previously had a Fire stick. The fire stick is slightly more robust on its functions, but always had problems updating, and buffering, and locking up. The Roku is simpler and has not a problem with updating apps, and has never had a problem locking or buffering. I like the remote is back lighting, really nice at night with minimal/no lighting.

This is a high-end streamer in my opinion. Roku is very user friendly. This model is their fastest yet and it does not disappoint. It can handle all the sound types available including Dolby Atmos, all the HDRs and of course 4K, 1080p, 720p and 480. The remote looks slick backlit and I love that it’s rechargeable via USB-C. Holds a charge longer than the previous Ultra which I also own. The headphone jack is gone but I didn’t use it anyway. Bluetooth is available for wireless headphones. I recommend getting a case for the remote because streamer remotes tend to be slippery. A case will make it easier to grip and add protection and make it easier to find if you go for something other than black. I use purple for my Rokus and orange for my Firesticks. For my use this new Roku Ultra is a no brainer at a discount.

The device meets our needs as a newer, bigger model. We have had no trouble using it and enjoying it. The remote lights up when you hold it in your hands so you can tell which button you’re pressing. The Roku device itself even feels more heavy duty. All around 5 stars!

I bought this version of the Roku Ultra, to have a wired connection to the internet, through its ethernet port.
I found the enhanced features on the remote really made this a great choice overall.

The Roku Ultra rocks for streaming all your favorite popular apps such as Netflix, Hulu, Disney, and Apple TV. Easy to set up and configure so you’ll be up and running in no time. I love it!

Works great, the backlight on the remote is fantastic, more companies should do that. These are simple little boxes, input a username and password and start streaming, app after app after app.. they just work.

It was fairly easy to attach and set up to our TV. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. We appreciated the helpful advice from the Best Buy sales associate for which Roku device to choose for our use.

Intended to cut the monopoly of Cable service, Good hard wire and/or WIFI streamer device, live local Networks channels not so, hate the asking to subscribe for everything, who remember the infinite user/accounts Ids and passcodes, let alone so annoying and invasive. This streamer good for those Non Smart TVs but you still need WIFI or Ethernet service. . With Roku you get hundreds of channels some useless, Sport channels mostly showing days behind replays or decades ago games. If you expect to watch Superbowl or FIFA 2026,dream on!
If you location allows you, investing in a good outdoor antenna is a good option to be considered to watch local TV News, some worth it feature shows and available live Sports in local Fox, Univision,ABC,CBS,NBC,ION channels.

Upgraded to this newer Roku and am very happy. Like earlier models, offers a wealth of streaming channels, easy set-up, clean navigation. Loading time and picture quality is superior, and the remote offers plenty of cool features.

I really love my Roku ultra. I’ve had problems with the sticks overheating in the past, despite the extender connector, Roku provides to help alleviate this issue. The ultra is fast and dependable, and while I have had to restart mine on occasion, who hasn’t had that issue with your technology. Lol This one was actually a gift since the TV I purchased came with Google instead of Roku.

We have several Roku’s in our house with most of them being Roku Sticks but the Ultra is the best. Seems to be faster with more features and it fixed the problem I was having with a several years old Roku Premiere. For some reason it had stopped responding to my Logitech Harmony Elite universal remote so I decided to upgrade and the remote works fine and the additional features from the Ultra are great. The rechargeable remote is also the best thing Roku has done to their remotes. Love it!! Finding it on sale at Christmas time was a great bonus too.

This is the Roku to have if you use Roku as your main streaming platform.
This provides an ethernet port if your Wi-Fi is not as good as it should be. A USB port to view images or videos from a flash drive,
The best feature is the remote. The Voice Remote Pro 2. This allows you to enable and disable always on voice detection. It has a rechargeable battery (with included USB C cable) the buttons light up and it has a find me feature!
The Roku itself is faster and more responsive than the regular Roku devices. It is a pleasure to use.
The audio and video quality are excellent!

I had the old version of Roku and was heating up, so I decided to buy this and totally love the remove as it has a mute button and it lights up. This newer version is faster and love the fact that I do not have to change the battery on the remote, you need to recharge it when needed.
