Roku - Express 4K+ (2021) Streaming Media Player with Voice Remote, TV Controls, and Premium HDMI® Cable - Black

I bought this cuz I no longer have cable, I went with reviews. I looked it up on Amazon, everyone loved it. So I bought it, from Best Buy.... Love it, happy I got it. Sooooooo many channels, I can add what I want. Price was good to. For someone like me who don't know how to hook this up, or was super easy. The Ruko actually walks us through it, highly recommend. Ya'll can add channels at ya'll want to, or delete channels as ya'll want to

Great product if you lose yours Best Buy had one for you !!!

Helps you get the apps that even your smart tv diesn't have. Just one click of the remote and youre good to go. I bought 2 of these.

My Roku, worked great for 15 days and on the 16th day it stopped working, and since your return policy is within 15 days I’m stuck with a product that doesn’t work…overall I’d says it’s a piece of crap and so is your return policy!!!

New Roku works great, remote has TV Off/On/Volume/Mute, and I really like the free Aquatic Life salt water aquarium simulation, exclusive to 4K Roku streaming devices...

So I've been using Roku devices going back a few generations and they've always just worked. I still have the older 1080p usb thumbstick type that you would need to plug into an available hdmi on your tv along with usb port for power on the tv. Overall they are reliable, I did have one of my units which the remote eventually stopped working. It was maybe a year old at the time. This 4k version actually plugs into your hdmi like the thumb-stick style but in this package you get a short usb wire with a power plug in-case you don't have an available usb port on your monitor or tv for power, so that's nice. 4k quality seems good, I mainly stream Youtube so I guess for that content it does well. Obviously you need this plugged into a 4k tv or in my case a 4k pc monitor like i do to take advantage of this feature. Voice control works no problems when searching for a video, this is built into the remote and I'm pretty sure it can be disabled if your concerned about privacy. The unit seems to stay warm to the touch, not sure if thats to be expected but i did notice a day or two after having this that it felt kind of hot when i moved it on my desk. It also seems to just stay powered on, doesn't go into standby, but that might be because I used the power adapter and not the monitor for power. This hasn't caused any performance problem, just something i noticed. If you've never tried a Roku, give it a go. They are easy to get going, they include everything you'll need in the box including the batteries for the remote.

In preparation for transitioning from satellite tv to streaming, I did the research on several streaming devices and settled on the Express 4K+ as the best choice considering features and price. It helped that Best Buy had the units at $10 off the retail price. I purchased one, tested it out and got two more. It takes a bit to get up to speed, but once you learn to navigate the various features the unit has a lot to offer. It has not dropped the signal a single time. The remote works well and has the ability to control the tv on-off, volume up-down, and mute via dedicated buttons. Set up was easy, and it identified each tv (I have three different models) correctly to work with the tv controls. The three TVs were pre-2015, with two Smart Samsung and one older Vizio.

This is my second of these. The first was bought right after this model was introduced a few months ago, and I decided to buy another to finish up our collection of TVs with a consistent interface. My first replaced a streaming stick, which after a couple of years seemed prone to lag and overheating. I'm not doing 4K on either, so the extra CPU overhead hopefully means it can work a little less hard and not push the thermal envelope. Plus compared to the stick the express case allows for some breathing and a little distance from the TV. This model has been snappy and dependable. Unlike other Express units this one has the RF remote with TV controls. For $30 (on sale, which is frequent) it's a no-brainer.
