Customer Ratings & Reviews

Prior, I had a Roku stick that finally burned out after a couple of years of heavy use. I bought a another Roku stick, but got 2 overheat warnings within 3 days of ownership so I returned it. I went with Roku Express because if its low sale cost of $25 and the small size. I stuck with Roku because of the Spectrum app. With the included double sided tape, I mounted it under my 32" Samsung TV. I used the USB port behind the TV for power and used the included short HDMI cable to cleanly not have any wires showing. Also, I like being able to shut off the TV and having the Express be off with the TV instead of staying on. After almost a couple weeks, there has been no issues. The sales rep let me know that the Express has a slower processor than the other models and that you have to point the remote directly at it, but so far I do not notice much difference with my experience with Roku stick and the remote issue does not bother me at all. I am happy and hope it will last.

Updated Roku works wonderfully. Was content with Remote on TV but it got was lost. I am pleased however that it got upgraded.

This is my second Roku streaming stick but the first of the express version that I have purchased. This Roku express will be used in a guest bedroom and it will work well for this purpose but as a primary tv device in the home I would opt for the next level Roku streaming stick because the express has a very basic remote- no power button & no volume control.

Streaming was great fast internet never lags compared to the firestick, only thing is there’s no volume control and I. Have to pay $10 more for the Roku premium with the tv control.

Had to purchase a streaming platform for our older "Smart TV". Netflix no longer will support our Smart TV platform. We suddenly, one day, couldn't access our Netflix streaming. Needless to say, another "hi tech" aggravation. We reviewed the various streaming choice hardware, Roku seemed to be the best choice for us. The "basic" unit was about $25 and very easy to install/set-up. The remote is compact and very user friendly. One button to get us into Netflix. The Main Unit is small and easy to find a good place to put it. If you purchase this Roku unit, be sure to cancel your "Free Trial" subscriptions BEFORE the "trial end" date, otherwise you'll be billed for it. Oh yeah,...you need to provide a Credit Card to activate this unit. This is a bit annoying, even if you don't want any "pay for" subscriptions or other streaming sources. Otherwise, it's a good price to allow us to use our very well running older Smart TV with out Netflix service. Also, the Roku remote that we purchased (basic unit), does NOT have TV controls, which is fine for our needs. We use the Smart TV remote to control the TV audio, since we've got a sound bar attached to the TV. We only need to Roku remote to activate Netflix. You can also access all the Roku features, if interested, with their Remote. We think this Roku unit is a cheap solution to our problem, without investing in a new Smart TV, or other more expensive streaming platform.

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.

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.

I purchased these for my parents to use as they recently (Finally) got high speed internet. These devices are much smaller than I realized when looking at them online - but they are so cute! They work just as well as my full size Roku 4K. The only thing I miss is the remote doesn't control TV volume or power, nor does it have a headphone jack or the search button like my full size 4K, however you can still use the search feature in the remote app on iphone/android but you'll have to use your TV/Home theater remote for sound. I just assume it would have it because my other Roku devices have it (Roku 4K as mentioned above, and a TV with Roku as the operating system). Just be sure you are OK with not having the remote control TV sound or having a search button/headphone jack if you are familiar with other Roku products. Setup was very easy and quick, no steaming issues or buffering issues. Parents are happy. I'm happy!

Excellent streaming device for the most popular apps. It cannot control the volume, BUT makes up saving you plenty of time providing the best picture quality. This deal is worth every penny.

Tried this at the office for a wall mounted tv. Since this remote does not have volume control, i would not recommend for that application. At home its plugged into my soundbar so it doesn't matter as much because i use the soundbar remote. Functionality is great and ease of setup/use is fantastic. For the price, it's really amazing!

I am loving my new Roku Express. My old ChromeCast device was "ok" but prone to hanging up and requiring me to reset / restart the current cast, periodically hijacking my phone. I'd get through my episode or whatever but never without a struggle. After the initial Roku set-up (which can be a little tedious) the user interface is infinitely more friendly. I use my TV remote to toggle to the other HD input, set it aside, and then use the Roku remote to navigate my Roku programming. Having to use 2 remotes and not having a voice command option is not a problem for me, but obviously that is a personal preference. Plug it in, set it up, and enjoy seamless free and / or premium content.

Works great with my old 32 inch garage tv. Should had got the one with volume rocker on the remote but works great other then that for what i need it for.

Easy to use with lots of free programs to watch without subscribing to any pay-to-watch streaming services. Of course, all the popular streaming programs are easily accessed thru Roku if you want them. I like that the Roku remote will turn the tv on/off but I wish it would also adjust the volume so I did not have to use the tv remote. It was quick and easy to set up. Wish I had bought a Roku years ago. I am using the Roku Express with a 10-year old Vizio HDTV and it works perfectly.

I used this one to replace an old roku that stopped working. This one seems to be faster and easy to use. The only thing I miss is the volume control but thats it.

Great value for the money. Easy to set up on my older Sony TV. I just wish it had a volume control on the remote. I purchased it so I could watch Netflix on my other tv. Best Buy had good stock on different models of Roku Streaming.

This Roku device was purchased to replace a broken Roku 3. The breakage was my fault, letting it fall onto a hardwood floor while I was moving TV and other equipment to a new set of shelves. The new unit provided easy setup, worked as advertised, and was smaller and lighter than the unit it replaced. I appreciated the provided adhesive strip that allowed me to secure it to the base of the TV (no more unplanned trips to the hardwood). I miss the volume control and earphone jack that were on the Roku 3 remote.

Small device and versatile. Hard to beat price. The only thing missing are volume buttons and power control.

Doesn't have voice control nor basic TV control functions, but if you turn TV on/off, control volume and ability to change input source via it's own remote, then this device is a perfect addition to provide an awesome means to ''cut the cable''. Could have purchased the more expensive Roku device but am thrilled I tried this ''cheaper'' version instead! Have only had this item for 3 weeks, but cannot find any significant downside other than what I mentioned above. Like the idea that this remote also can access Roku's installed on other TV's throughout this house unlike my firestick remotes which only associate with the firestick it was originally installed with.

Works well and easier version to use for someone who doesnt want allot of buttons on the remote but the remote doesnt connect to your TV so will need a seprate tv remote for your TV.

I love this product, I am ashamed I was afraid to buy this based upon some reviews I read. Roku installs extremely easily, and is even easier to use. In addition, the remote is WAYYYYY better than Amazon's Firestick remote, in fact, the Firestick remote is actually what prompted me to not buy a firestick again. The buttons on the Roku are satisfying and comfortable and easy to use. I will never go back to Firestick.
