Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the Ultra Streaming Device's ease of use, picture quality, and remote control. Many appreciate the inclusion of a headphone jack and Dolby Vision, along with the device's 4K capabilities and smooth performance. The user-friendly interface and straightforward setup are also frequently praised. A common concern, however, centers around the remote's battery life.

    I am enjoying the features (especially the AirPlay) of ROKU Ultra that were installed in our 2 televisions. I was also glad to be able to link it to my Alexa. But I still have to learn more about all other features.

    2020 version of Roku Ultra is even better than the earlier version. Of all the things that They did amazingly great, they’ve always had one thing short...no mute button. With the 2020 version, they finally fixed that over site.

    Happy with this Streaming device. I own 3 Rokus and they all work fine. Coming off cable you have to get used to the time it takes to change channels or source and the lip sync issue with certain program sources. From what I've read online these issues are just there. Reception is great, voice control works. Search is good. My new 4K tv looks great.

    Thinking about cutting the cord....Roku leads the way with Premium & Free channels. Take the plunge & enjoy. Best Buy has all your needs and prices with personnel to help you. Covid-19 fears...they have curbside service too!

    We’ve had one Roku or another for years. This one is the best yet. Enough memory to load lots of apps. Little to no buffering. I do run ours hard wired so I can’t comment on the WiFi. Highly recommend to friends and family.

    Some good additions, too many bad losses

    Positive upgrades: Mute button, two programmable buttons, power button for TV and sound system but with direct line of site only, noticeably faster channel loading speed, does not overheat like 2016 unit constantly did. Negatives/loss of features: Zero tech support, no way to power off roku other than to unplug it, volume, power off, and mute only work with direct line of site to TV, advertised premium JBL wired ear buds NOT included. Details: Not being able to control volume, use mute , or TV power button without direct line of site to TV makes my wife hate this vs the old unit, we have cats that love to lay in the way, and will not work from other parts of the house like the old one did. Programmable buttons work great as we do not subscribe to any of the preset channel buttons, remember cut the cable and save money? We use Amazon Prime for the free shipping otherwise there there are sooo many included roku channels and online free sources to pick from why pay for any?

    • Brand response from Roku Team
      Posted .

      Hi there, we want to say thank you for the feedback. If you need to reach a member of our customer support team, we're here to help! We have agents available for email and live chat communications at this time. Visit support.roku.com/contactus to get started.

      We apologize if there was confusion but the 2020 Ultra (model 4800) does not include JBL headphones. If you saw this advertised, please contact us so that we can investigate.

      It's unusual to hear that your remote is only working with a direct site line as every 2020 Roku Ultra comes with an enhanced "point anywhere" remote. We'd recommend visiting this helpful FAQ article: https://support.roku.com/article/208755708. Here, you can determine if you have an enhaced or IR remote and review some troubleshooting steps that may help resolve the problem.

      We hope this helps! Please don't hesitate to reach out if we can assist you further.

    My wife didn't like watching movies on her phone, and I wasn't interested either. A friend said that with I-phones we needed a Roku. Now it's installed, and I can't believe what you an get! so many channels, so little time!!!!

    Worth the extra price compared to regular Roku's. The clarity and streaming are much faster. Less buffering too. I'll be replacing our older models with this one from now on.

    Great product and free movie apps. Only issue I’ve been experiencing is no sound during a movie. I have to restart the box or movie. Another is, delayed sound when caters are talking.

    It's a pretty standard Roku hub. It does exactly what it advertises and provides access to a number of streaming services. Just remember that you have to pay for the premium services like Netflix!

    So much better than cable TV. Simple to use. 100's if not 1000's of shows to watch. Something for everyone. Easily add apps. I debated over buying this, but when it went on sale, I decided to give it a try. I am glad I did.

    The newest edition to the Roku line is great. The unit is easy to install following given directions. The only con is that you have to sign in again to your accounts. The addition of the two programmable buttons is a plus.

    Faster and can handle external 4k files better than the previous version. The playback on some external 4k files were choppy on the previous version of the ultra, but this version is solid.
