Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Glimmer of Excellence: In the ever-crowded field of streaming devices, the Roku Ultra stands out not with a shout, but with a confident, cinematic hum. It's the kind of device that makes you wonder why you ever settled for anything less. The latest Roku Ultra, available at your local Best Buy in Brighton, MI, isn't just a streaming player; it's a home theater upgrade, a masterclass in user-friendly design, and a testament to the power of a truly premium experience. A Visual and Auditory Feast: The first thing you'll notice is the breathtaking picture and sound. With support for stunning 4K, HDR, and Dolby Vision, the Roku Ultra breathes new life into your favorite movies and shows. Colors pop with an almost lifelike vibrancy, and dark scenes reveal details you never knew were there. But it's not just about the picture; the addition of Dolby Atmos support elevates the audio to a new level. You'll hear every whisper and feel every explosion with an immersive, three-dimensional soundscape that fills the room. It’s a sensory experience that rivals a night at the movies, and you don’t even have to leave your couch. The Remote, Redefined: The included Voice Remote Pro is the crown jewel of this package. It's a marvel of thoughtful design. The backlit buttons are a godsend for late-night viewing, illuminating just enough to guide your fingers without being a distraction. The rechargeable battery is a welcome change from the endless hunt for AA batteries, and the built-in lost remote finder is a feature you won’t appreciate until you desperately need it. "Hey Roku, where's my remote?" is a phrase you'll utter with a sigh of relief, followed by a triumphant grin as the remote chirps back at you from under the sofa cushions. The voice control is fast and accurate, letting you search for content across all your apps with ease. Performance that Doesn't Quit: Speed is the name of the game, and the Roku Ultra wins hands down. With its powerful processor and robust Wi-Fi 6 support, this device is lightning-fast. Apps launch in a flash, and navigating the menu is seamless. Buffering is a distant memory. Whether you're streaming in the same room as your router or in a corner of your home with a weaker signal, the Roku Ultra handles it all with grace and without interruption. The added Ethernet port provides a wired connection for those who demand the absolute best in reliability and speed. The Verdict: While some may point to minor software glitches or a price tag that's higher than other Roku models, the Roku Ultra is worth every penny for the discerning viewer. It’s an investment in a superior streaming experience that will elevate your home entertainment for years to come. From its award-winning performance to its intuitive and feature-rich remote, the Roku Ultra is, without a doubt, the best streaming device on the market. If you're looking to cut the cord or simply upgrade your current setup, head over to Best Buy in Brighton, and prepare to be blown away.

The Roku Ultra has all the features you may want in a streaming device. The installation/configuration is very easy and simplified. If you already have set up the Roku app for another Roku device it is even easier. Speed of loading new content and viewing it, clarity of picture and sound are all exceptional. The remote is backlit and the voice activation works very well. This is my second purchase of a Roku device as I wanted a 4k/Atmos capable device. This has proven to be a great value.

If you are a fan of ROKU, then you will be a fan of this one. I upgraded from a previous Ultra version and this one is extra snappy and fast. The book time is under 10 seconds and the menu is a fast as it has ever been. The remote is slenderer than before, is back lite when moved, has a built-in battery and a privacy button. It does not have an audio jack which was a disappointment. The battery life is not as long as the traditional AA battery remote. Any movement of the remote and the lights come on. I did have the remote run out of charge without any warning. When you turn on the ROKU it displays the battery bar, but I never saw a warning that it was about to run out. The only other issue I have experienced is with the Hisense TV. If I leave the TV on the ROMU channel and turn off the TV, it will randomly turn on but have a black screen. It didn't do this with the older ROKU Ultra, just the new one. If I change the channel on the TV to something else before turning off, it works just fine. RECAP - best ROKU device! Very Snappy and fast! New remote is great! Cons: Battery life of remote and no low battery warning. No audio jack on remote and turning on my Hisense TV randomly.

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.

I had the earlier version of the Roku Ultra the remote kept requiring a battery reset (plug in the remote) even though it was fully charged. So far this remote works fine.

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.

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.

Works great. The remote is awesome. Solid picture and speed.

Very fast device compared to other streaming devices. Supports all of the latest tech features such as Atmos, HDR10+, Dobly Vision etc. The find remote feature is amazing, I have twin toddlers and the remote routinely disapears so being able to hit the button on the side of the unit is amazing. Only downsides is for some reason Disney+ seems to glitch out sometimes where audio will play with no video and the remote is very sensitive to touch and there is no lock for it. So if you leave the remote on the bed even the slightest movement will sometimes hit buttons. Otherwise it runs much better and smoother than any built in TV system or multiple generations of firesticks i've used.

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!

The Ultra solved the connectivity issues. Picture quality and remote are top notch.

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.

Easy set up, easy to use, great picture, fast, and worth the purchase price. Highly recommend

Easy to set up. Easy to use. I find it much faster and more functonal tha the Roku sticks I have.

I've owned many Roku models over the years. The Ultra has always been the best, and this model is no exception. Picture quality is excellent and, as always, the Roku interface just makes sense. No muss, no fuss. On my wish list though: Roku should do multitasking, like Apple TV does, where you can have multiple apps running at the same time & easily switch between them quickly. Also, the rechargeable remote that comes with this unit is OK, but I still prefer the older style that uses 2AA batteries, and bonus, has a headphone jack as well. This remote has no headphone jack at all. I still would recommend this unit.

Had some points and a gift card I would not typically update an already great ROKU with another great ROKU but pulled the trigger because it was roughly double the wifi speed of my previous. I didn't think the backlit remote would matter to me much but IT DOES. Love it

The Roku Streaming Box is an absolute game-changer for anyone looking for a seamless, affordable, and feature-packed streaming experience. Setup is incredibly easy, and the user-friendly interface makes navigation a breeze. I love the streaming quality with my 4K TV and the remote is simple yet effective. I have yet to find a better streaming device with an intuitive and high performing OS. I have tried other streaming devices on the market and nothing compares to the ease of use ROKU.

Love this Ultra Roku. Lights up when touched, voice activated and extremely fast
