    Purchased this updated express model because Apple TV/TV Plus is, for some reason, not available on my 3 y/o 4K TV with Roku and a 3 y/o express device and also because I wanna be able to see the above app's contents on my TV sets without having to plug in my iPhones, iPads or MacBook Pro...and Lord knows I ain't gonna spend on the overpriced Apple TV box. I must say this doesn't disappoint for the above reason and also because this feels a lot snappier and produces better picture than my old express device. Setup is as easy as ever without any hiccups. Definitely highly recommended for cord cutters, future cord cutters and those like me who have all their TV/movie entertainment online.

    Picked up two of these for my older LG TVs, plus I picked up a 24" Sharp TV with built in Roku for my workout room. After years of frustration with poorly functioning apps on multiple generations of Sony Blu Ray DVD players, I'm glad I've finally seen the light. These work flawlessly, are super cheap @ $30, and have all the apps I'll ever need. If I could change one thing it would be for all Roku models to have a Bluetooth or even RF based remote, so I didn't have to stick the box to the edge of my TV like a barnacle.

    Best deal if you don't want to pay for an Ultra

    I first purchased a Roku Ultra, set it up on the main TV and learned (somewhat) how to stream and how the Roku worked. I needed another device for the upstairs TV and when the Express went on sale last month, I thought that it would be fine for the lesser used set. I admit that I miss the TV power on/off and the volume control that is included with the Ultra and not having to have two remotes but the Express works great and it's smaller than the Ultra along with being less than half the price. It's a winner.

    Don't let the low price fool you, this Roku Express still provides all the Roku content of the higher end devices. If you don't need 4K then the Roku Express is a great value. The performance when flipping through menus is good and initial setup is very straightforward and easy. The Roku remote is well know as being one of the best compared to all the competitors. The Roku menu interface is nothing fancy but that's what I like about it, it's quick and easy to figure out and navigate. Overall you really can't go wrong with a Roku Express or any Roku device in general.

    The TV we have in the bedroom is not a smart TV so we purchased this Roku Express and it also was easy to set up and my husband is very pleased with the performance and quality we get from this device.

    This is the second Roku express I purchased. The first one I got as a gift for someone, and they had no complaints with its performance. I actually have a 65 inch Sharp roku TV that just stopped working after having it a little over 2 years. (I won’t be recommending any sharp, Toshiba, or Hinese tv’s) My Back up TV is an older tv that didn’t have any built in streaming platforms. I already knew about the Roku express, and it also happened to be on sale at Best Buy. On top of that I also had a 5 dollar off coupon for Best Buy, so for 20 bucks with tax you can’t beat it. So far it’s been working great no problems. Set up was easy since I already had a Roku account. If your tech savvy you shouldn’t have a problem either.

    Work great, no issues. Turned my old TVs into smart tvs. I have purchased and installed about 45 of these in the last couple months and they always work and there are no surprises. The only thing i do not like is that Roku makes you setup a credit card.

    I only use Roku products for their reliability, ease of use and price point. The Roku App works great, especially using it for a remote. I have been impressed with the performance of Roku products and will continue to use them.

    I had an old Roku Streaming Media Player that played ok but I could tell it was time for an upgrade. The old player would get stuck and stop working in the middle of a movie. I purchased the latest Roku Express HD Streaming Media Player and it was very easy to set-up. It plays well and has better upgraded features. I'm glad I made this purchase.

    I've been using Roku since 2014, and I purchased the Roku Streaming Stick then. Well, it is outdated, so I upgraded to this one. Much faster, higher picture quality. Yes, I am a Roku fan...I've even purchased them for some of my friends!
