The Roku Ultra is one of the best streaming devices in the market. The interface is easy and effortless and intuitive. The channel lineups seem to follow logical sequence. I love the speed through which you can find what you are looking for. The newest update was a great improvement and well designed. The only from I have with the box is that my LG OLED remote control does function with the box. Therefore I have to switch between remotes. However I do recommend Roku as great alternative to Apple TV and others.The Roku Ultra is one of the best streaming devices out there. The interface is super easy to use and intuitive. The channel lineup seems to make sense, and you can find what you’re looking for really quickly. The latest update was a great improvement and well-designed. The only downside is that my LG OLED remote control doesn’t work with the box, so I have to switch between remotes. But overall, I highly recommend Roku as a great alternative to Apple TV and other streaming devices.

Really wanted to love this. And it is great on a few counts.
I namely got it to supplement my Apple TV 4K for the audio pass through feature. This works flawlessly. The backlit rechargeable remote is also fantastic and I find it more ergonomic than the aluminum ATV remote.
But even though both are WiFi 6 compatible, and we have an excellent Asus WiFi 6 mesh network, its WiFi stability is nowhere near as solid as the Apple which has never disconnected once. The Roku disconnected a total of 5 times in the 8 days before I gave up and returned it.
I know Ethernet is the ideal way to connect this but it’s not possible in our home, so if you want great WiFi, unless you’re super close to your router, this may or may not cut it.
It sadly did not in our home.

We have been ramping up our streaming service in order to get off our cable. Our new smart TV was buffering a lot, so we bought this Roku device to minimize that. Works like a charm. Fairly easy to set up and no buffering issues since we installed it.

Had a friend who owns Roku devices recommend this to me. Speed and flexibility to support the apps I needed plus support for 4K to match new OLED TV I recently purchased. Rechargeable remote needs no battery. Built in wifi excellent.

I have bought several Rokus. Although I have smart TVs, using the Roku makes my picture quality better. It also makes maneuvering through various apps simpler and quicker. A plus is being able to watch Roku tv channels. The remote is not complicated as other remotes I have used. With Spectrum tv, it is a must. Much better than XUMO.

Had to buy this to replace our older Roku Ultra that suddenly died after around 3 years of use. Initial set up was easy, however, a few days afterward there was a purple shade to the TV picture. Had to reset the Roku multiple times, including unplugging both the Roku and the TV before the picture returned to normal. After a month, the issue has not happened again. We really like the simplicity of the Roku interface and the consistency of having the same for all TVs in the house. Hope the new model Ultra lasts longer than the previous one.

Works great. It improved my picture quality. Great selection of default services. Finding it easy to set up and to use. Like the backlit remote. I liked the Ultra so much I bought a sound-bar Roku for my office TV. Really improved the sound and picture on that TV.

I bought this Roku Ultra (2024) unit because my Roku Streaming Stick was failing due to overheating issues.
It was easy to set up and allowed for easier placement. The new remote is rechargeable, so no more looking for spare batteries. Definitely more responsive than the Roku 4K Streaming Stick.

It was on sale so I decided to upgrade my 2018 Roku Ultra. I noticed no difference in performance or picture or sound... However the backlit & rechargeable remote is a game changer for me. That made it worth it to me.
My 2018 Roku was heavier and seemed better quality and the new one seems light and "cheap". But I've mounted my Roku to the back of my tv - so the lighter material is actually better for that.
I absolutely love the Roku platform, any and all apps are available. I wish Roku would make some high end TVs so we consolidate everything!

This Roku's rechargeable remote is a game changer! The thing I've hated most about Rokus is having to constantly change the batteries in the remote. Now waiting for the A.I. version that allows you to communicate between apps! Would recommend and buy again!

Excellent streaming device, that is easy to paired. It is lightweight so I assume it is fragile lol. I love the hdr/dolby vision feature. where you can choose to have it on at all times, only on support content.

Roku is always our go-to device for streaming devices. They are extremely reliable and these Ultras deliver great picture quality. We prefer to use the wired connectivity for the internet and these give us the opportunity.
