Great product that is easy to use. Set up is quick and easy, no difficult, hard to follow instructions but clear and concise. Would recommend this product brand, it's the second one I've purchased and have no complaints with quality or value. Learning curve on this product is so easy you feel like you've always used it.

I was a little nervous buying this because I’ve seen and used Roku devices but didn’t really know exactly what I wanted. This device has exceeded my expectations. It was a great price and got here in good time. It has all the apps I need and want and everything’s good quality. Very happy with this purchase! Definitely recommend!

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.

Updating our Roku was a good call. Clearer picture and sound. Setup was easy, although some apps were not as user friendly for sign in on the new device. The new remote is also comfortable in the hand and responsive.

Great little affordable player. The wifi on the kids room tv gave out, so i got this. It was cheaper thsn purchasing a new tv. Easy to set up, super low profile. It only streams at up to 720p i believe, which is more than enough. Tv's usb port can be used to power it which is great too

Working well. No problems at all. Set up was easy. The receiver is tiny. Using it on a 1080p Insignia TV. Very adequate picture. Connected to wifi with no problems. Recommended.

Need to turn an old TV into a smart TV? These get the job done. I've had one on my main TV for a year or two and works great. Cheap, quick to set up, easy to use. Just plug into HDMI port, power it up and follow the instructions. Since I already had an account, all my apps and settings transferred from first one too. Since I got tired of moving that one back and forth, decided to get a second one. My first one is Roku Stick which has a little bit nice remote with Voice and TV control but I didn't really need those features on second TV so this one fit the bill.

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.

I have two of these devices for our two TV's. The first was purchased because the Bedroom TV didn't have a Spectrum cable box and accessing the Spectrum channels via their streaming app was so slow an user unfriendly. Hated it. With the Roku I use it's Spectrum app and leave it on that HDMI channel and accessing cable TV is easy and just like with a cable box. The 2nd was purchased because I couldn't install a "Hoople" app on my LG TV but could on a Roku, so it solved a problem. These devices add lots of functionality, even to a modern Internet enabled TV, they're inexpensive and there's no monthly fee. Love them!!

I cannot believe the value of this for the price. We've been chromecast users for years and the price of the new chromecast thing (home?) is debilitating for us to buy and rebuy. This is a fraction of even the former chromecast cost (let alone the home thing) and it is just as functional as the new version from Google and far better than Chromecast.

This has been an incredible addition to our home entertainment system. I do have a smart TV, but it's a little older (2015) and so isn't compatible with all of the latest apps. I started looking at this when I subscribed to Disney+, as my only option at the time was to stream through a browser and cast to the TV (doable, but annoying). I wanted something permanently connected, and this has been wonderful. It's so fast and easy to set up, and has so much of my favorite streaming content in one place. The menu is easy to navigate, with very little delay between screens. I love that the remote is so simple. My four-year-old has no problem using it without help.

This is the fourth Roku stick I have purchased (all still in use on seperate T.V. 's)
And I love them.
I used to use Firesticks but as much as I love Amazon and prime t.v. the Roku product is easier to set up, easier to use, and last way longer without needing replacement there is also a Roku channel that I'm sure you could use from any streaming device but it's easily available on the Roku stick and it gives you free television shows to stream as long as you don't mind watching the commercials or you can pay for upgrade if you'd like commercial free

Got an old TV which was useless because we did not have cable or devices we can connect to. Having Roku turned it into a smart tv and was able to watch pretty much anything at a small price.

Purchased the roku to be able to stream Peacock. Easy to hook up and stick right on the bottom of the TV. The package includes a piece of double stick tape to adhere along with a remote. Pleased with my purchase.
