Roku Streaming Stick 4K: Perfect for Parents!

I got the Roku Streaming Stick 4K for my parents, and they absolutely love it! They’re not super tech-savvy, but this little device is so easy to use that they figured it out right away. The remote is simple, with just the right amount of buttons, and the voice control makes finding their shows a breeze.
The picture quality is fantastic—4K really makes a difference, especially on their newer TV. They were amazed at how clear everything looked! Plus, it’s super fast when switching between apps like Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube, so they’re not sitting around waiting for things to load.
What I love most is how everything is organized in one place. My parents no longer have to jump between confusing menus or multiple remotes—it’s all right there on the Roku.
If you’re looking for something affordable and user-friendly, especially for older family members, this is a perfect choice. My parents now watch their favorite shows without calling me every five minutes for tech help—win-win!

Bought this because Google TV is so laggy

I bought a 55 inch TCL QLED in November. Amazing budget TV but the Google TV software is so laggy and buggy plus TV does not support airplay. I decided to go to Best Buy and buy this Roku streaming stick and it is phenomenal. The picture looks amazing and it is so fast. The remote is great, and the voice command works flawlessly. The main reason I bought this was so I could use airplay. I definitely recommend this product to anybody who is frustrated with their Google TV OS.

Have always used Playstation for streaming apps and not one to replace TVs often. All apps not available on other platforms (Like PS4/5) available here, simple to set up and use, can stream/cast from other devices too. Downside: requires a power source either by USB or standard outlet (cube included) and may not be able to attach depending on shape of television and where port is located. ROKU offers a free adapter that fixes the issue but you need to try to install before realizing you need the adapter and then order it online free of charge. It is a small female to male HDMI adapter if you wanted to order ahead just in case but they do offer the free cable, you just have to wait another couple days before you can use the device which can be annoying.

Works great but requires storing credit card #

Super easy to set up and use. Batteries included. Fast and responsive. I took off one star because it requires you to enter and store a credit card for any purchases, even if you never make a purchase. Since I already subscribed to the apps that I wanted (Netflix, etc.), there is no legitimate business purpose for the company to require and store my credit card information. The risk to the consumer outweighs the company’s “just in case” reason. This is called unfair and deceptive trade practices under consumer protection laws. Also, the box does not say a credit card number is required to use this product. You don’t find this out until it’s opened, plugged into the tv and you are installing it. There used to be a way to bypass this, but that option is gone. Roku is creating unnecessary risk to the consumer and perhaps a barrier to those who do not have a credit card.

Streaming Stick to the Rescue

Easily turn your smart TV into a Roku TV with the streaming stick. The beauty of this device, as opposed to a Roku Express (less expensive option) is that the Roku remote is all you will need. It not only changes channels and apps but also controls the volume, so you can set the TV's original remote aside and only have to keep up with one device. Definitely a game changer for our family! Installation was easy; just plug it in and the device walks you through every step. This remote also has voice control, which is a neat feature we had never used before. I purchased a stick for two other non-Roku TV's after being thoroughly impressed with the function of this device.

Roku vs. Flex Box

When my Comcast Bill went up, I picked a slower speed Plan (had 200+ Mbps. which I didn't need anyway, went to 50 Mbps.), unfortunately their Flex Box was not included in that Plan. So I bought the Roku Stick during "Prime Days" for $29.99 - $10.00 Certificate = $19.99 + tax Total with Free Shipping.
So far it has worked well with good Wi-Fi Reception (note Bar on Power Cord in Photo) and a clear sharp picture through my Rear HDMI Input. My TV is a 46" 1080p HD, so I can't attest to 4K quality and I would actually Overall Rate it as 4 1/2 Stars if possible. The Voice Remote is a bit temperamental and the TV Volume and especially the Mute Button are awkwardly placed on the side of the Control which I often inadvertently press.
In general a good Unit which I was pleased worked on my now slower Internet Speed. Only minor differences compared to the Flex Box, although I would like an Input and lighted Buttons on the Remote Control like it has.

This roku streaming stick has all the apps that I need. It is a bit redundant if you have a smart TV like LG. Unfortunately, where I live Spectrum no longer provides local channels through TiVo, and it cost an arm and a leg (or at least an arm!) to pay for the service monthly. They do provide an app for Roku, which makes it a must have. The user experience is great, flexible and worth the price. And added bonus is it attaches to your HDMI and USB port behind your TV so it’s not visible or obtrusive.

I had purchased the Roku streaming stick for my mother. She had previously used a HDMI cord and her computer to watch her favorite app Spectrum. I watched her become super annoyed with charging her laptop and plugging in the HDMI cord. Now she does not have to plug in a long cord. She hasn't removed the streaming stick from her LG TV. She loves this remote and stick because she can watch local news channels, Netflix, Hulu, and Youtube with or without a smart tv. The voice control is her favorite feature because she no longer has to search through apps but talk aloud what she wants to watch.

Takes an old TV and turns it into something useful. With stick on sale, least expensive way to add bluetooth streaming of audio to headphones for old TV. Newer stick is snappier/faster than prior generation. Roku GUI is very intuitive and easy to get to desired app, and wifi controller is simple and reliable.

Awsome little stick. I got it to plug into my projcetor to watch movies in our backyard. It worked really well. Picture quality and everything was really good. I really like how nice and small it is. Makes it perfect for setting up out back. You do have to have internet to make it work so if you do do it outback like i did, make sure you have a good internet connection or good hotspot so it can work properly. Great product.

Roku is the best in streaming. Love the voice option on the remote. Easy to install. So awesome to have all our pay services like Apple+ and Paramount+ in one place. We have one for each TV in our home and away from home. You'll love it!!!

We bought this item to stream content for kids in our GMC Yukon with the two screens that only came with use for Hulu and Youtube/Youtube Kids. We dont use those streaming sites for our young kids so we had to go out and buy this for their shows on road trips. Easy to setup and connect to car’s wifi. Hopefully will work out well for our family.

I did already have a Roku connected to one of our tvs but it was the cheaper model with the small box that needs to be by the tv and in view. When we purchased another tv for a different room, we purchased this upgraded one which I just love. You just need to aim anywhere near the tv, you don’t see anything in front of the tv, and it’s 4k. The quality of the tv picture does not get diminished with this Roku. I recommend buying this one.

This is my second Roku streaming device and once again I'm very happy with the product. Connected it to the TV in the kitchen and it works great. Piece of cake to set up and home screen mirrors the main TV where I have an Ultra 2024 connected. Remote is also great and is all you need as it turns TV on and off and controls volume. 39 bucks is a pretty cheap price to turn basically any TV into a smart TV. All you need is internet and you are golden. If you are considering cutting the cord with cable do it. I just wish I had done it much sooner.

Great for streaming! I have Apple TV as well, and some of my TVs have built in capabilities. But to keep the peace in the house after dropping cable, I needed to have a consistent interface from one tv to the next. These sticks are cheap and super effective. I don’t have any issues with signal strength and the 4K seems to work great when you actually have 4K content.
Why cable companies still want to charge 10-15 per month for a box is crazy. The one thing I miss is the voice capabilities with Xfinity. Roku will do some voice functions but it is not as well integrated.
