Roku gives easy access to apps, movies, live tv, etc
Easy to navigate. The Roku Ultra is fast and has a great picture. Roku Ultra comes with the backlit voice remote. The only drawback that I’ve found is that you can’t change the channel by selecting the number. You have to just scroll through them which goes quickly

I bought this Roku device to use on a TV that doesn't get used much but I wanted to still be able to stream my xfinity channels. It was easy to hook up and get set up to watch on. I like that the size is small so it did not take up a lot of space. The remote is easy to use also.

We cut cable and wanted to get the fastest device for channel changing. Connecting to ethernet makes the Roku really fast. Pretty easy/user friendly. I don't know why the little cloth "roku" tab needs to be part of the remote, however. Very disappointed in the "3 offers with purchase" offered. I haven't gotten any emails with codes, Best Buy chat gave me a different answer, a Best Buy employee at the store couldn't access anything for me and it wasn't listed anywhere within the Roku device set-up. I really wanted to try Apple and Fubo.

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.

We are senior citizens, not technically inclined, and found this very easy to set up. We are pleasantly surprised with the number of movie options available through Roku. There isn’t a last button or a recording option which we miss but otherwise great alternative to paying for cable boxes.

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 have a 2017 LG television (it's not a smart tv) with the Roku Ultra. The picture is really HD clear. Being a baby boomer I'm not tech savvy. This was very easy to install on my television. Also with Roku Ultra it converts my 2017 television to have smart tv options. Also I like that the back lit remote that's a great feature. When watching television in the evening time.

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.

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!
