5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome so far
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2022

This is our second Roku, lost the first one in our move to our new house, works great and for a 1/3 of the price of the original, the Roku channel is better than ever with plenty of free programming, also lots of apps with free programming, without getting say "NBC" or "Amazon Prime video" (which we have for now). Also as you can see it can be attached to your t.v with the included double sided tape, very light. They tell you not to attach it to the t.v as t.v's get hot and can ruin the device but I turned on the t.v for an hr. and found a "cool area" to put it. Was mad at first because the remote didn't support headphones like it said but figured out you need the Roku app which I already had to use headphones on your phone instead of the remote which is awesome as the old way using the remote ate up batteries at a prestigious rate, problem solved, plus the remote can be programed in mere seconds to control your t.v also, overall were very plz with this small way less expensive model with improved remote, highly recommend for all your streaming needs. I would recommend also getting a Google Chromecast which is around 35 bucks and you can meet all of today's streaming needs, both are very easy to set up.I also highly recommend you use the internet to set the Roku up without inputting a debit or credit card to avoid say, your cat laying on the remote and buying a 10 buck crap movie (see the perp hiding in her lair of evil in photos) and yes it can be done, enjoy. Did I mention I'm old as dirt and set it up no problem.

I am so shocked! Must be a catch somewhere. All the free stuff! Live TV is wonderful. I pray it is free. This Roku Express 4k+ is perfect for this old lady. It was easy to set up by following the prompts. I did not put in financial stuff. Just my name, email address, and I think my mailing address? I will wait a couple of weeks to make sure all is good, then I will DC cable service. I will only keep internet service. I think I am in love. Looks like over 700 channels on Live TV? I love SyFy stuff, and of course I found a few channels that only has SyFy movies! Like the three I have found so far. I have only had my Roku less then 24hrs. So I am learning. Need to figure out what is free, and how much certain premium channels are. I can't wait to figure out what I am doing. 馃ぃ So between my attic antennas for local stuff, and this wonderful Roku Express I may survive after all. Best $27 I have spent ever. All these channels on Roku Live TV alone is worth it. My internet service is great. No problems with anything yet. All viewing is smooth and clear.
Update Oct. 17th. I have learned so much and I love this Roku so much, I plan to get another one to put it on my other TV. YOU NEED TO PURCHASE THIS ITEM! I wish I got one years ago.
Update 10/26/22, just ordered 2nd Roku Express for other TV. I simply love the first one. I figure I can save about $100 a month until I add Disney +. With inflation I don't have much choice right now.

Roku is small but mighty!

I needed a new streaming device because Vizio orphaned the operating system on 4K HD Smart TV that was otherwise working perfectly. This Roku was so easy to set up I didn't even need to look at the instructions once (the TV did display a few helpful tips during setup though). Everything is intuitive and the handy voice control means you have to do very little actual typing during setup, Except shifting to upper case for capitals you can speak most of your email and password info using the handy mic button on the remote.

Roku doesn't skimp either, not only do they include the HDMI nearly everyone else charges extra for, even the batteries are name-brand top quality Energizers.

I originally paid $69.99 for a different streaming device that I had to send back because so many things didn't work right. This is a much higher quality device for a fraction of the cost.

So far I've logged into my HULU and Paramount+ channels and watched shows with no issues and also added PlutoTV (free) for even more options. I also navigated to and watched something on YouTube. This thing is great.

So, I had a Netgear streamer. Yes, I said Netgear. From over 10 years ago! The Netgear streamer was soooo stinking slow and the only app it still supported was Netflix. Time to replace? Yes, it was definitely time to replace!
So I ordered this and *poof* updated to modern streaming! Considering I haven't had a new streamer on this tv for over 10 years, I am absolutely amazed! This thing starts up fast, was super easy to set up and works wayyy better than my outdated Netgear one!
In comparison to modern devices, I also have a Samsung tv (one year old) with built in streaming features in another room. The Samsung is right next to our wifi router and this Roku is further away, yet is faster than the Samsung tv. When my Samsung gets too outdated, I'll just get one of these for that tv as it's a heck of a lot cheaper than a whole new tv.
If you have some old outdated streamer like I did, get this! I am personally very happy with this and would definitely recommend :)

I bought this to replace my Amazon Fire Stick that never worked from the day I bought it. I should've just bought this from the very beginning & I could've saved myself soooo much time & money! I plugged this in & created an account & had it all set up in no time! Literally a few minutes! Not one single problem! I bought 3 fire sticks for each of my tvs and not a single one worked. I spend days and hours of my time on the phone with customer service and still couldn't get any of them to work. I exchanged them all for 3 new ones & still each fire stick ran into some type of problem, even the remotes had problems not working sometimes. The home screen always says unavailable, apps wouldn't work, etc. After all the trouble I had with them I could not believe how easy this Roku was to set up!! The remote connected automatically, the entire setup process was so easy and flawless. I will definitely be buying one for each of our tvs! Highly recommend Roku!

For some reason the batteries included in mine were dead but I doubt that will be true for everyone.

I had a chrome cast model prior which was controlled via phone which I would not recommend. No dedicated remote and it would be a hassle to rewind or fast forward etc.

Xfinity flex came with my internet but that system was extremely bulky. About 6 times the size of Roku.

Amazon fire stick would鈥檝e hit the wall when plugged into my old tv. Newer tvs tho probably have the hdmi outlet facing the other way so it wouldn鈥檛 be a problem.

This model of Roku is great cause you can turn the tv on and off and control the volume. Other competitors do this too for a similar price. No need to use a 2nd remote.

Roku worked great for me. Another streaming device would likely work just as fine.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not fully functional for international customers

Reviewed in Singapore 馃嚫馃嚞 on August 5, 2021

No search function. Product description should be explicit that search function is only available in certain territories.

Interface is clean and user-friendly though.
Quality build.

I'm in Singapore and i can't get Amazon Prime and Disney+ apps.

So it is a waste of money for me.

Dos cosas me encantaron de este peque帽o aparato: a pesar de ser tan peque帽ito, no solo hace lo que afirma, sino que ademas lo hace mejor que mi propio televisor: Utilizando mi TV, necesitaba subir el volumen entre 50-75%, y por algun motivo, de vez en cuando se perdia la se帽al de netflix y se quedaba trabado. Con Roku la imagen es mucho mas fluida y perfecta, y solo necesito subir el sonido al 25% para que se escuche igual que el sonido nativo de mi pantalla. Por si fuera poco, el control, pese a ser chiquitito y casi no tener botones, hace exactamente lo mismo que el control original de mi TV. Incluso tiene un teclado mucho mas facil de utilizar, y como si eso no fuera suficiente, ademas se pueden pasar las funciones del control al telefono, lo que permite textear a alta velocidad directamente en la TV para navegar por internet. Cero quejas, excelente servicio.

1.0 out of 5 stars P茅sima experiencia

Reviewed in Mexico 馃嚥馃嚱 on July 29, 2021

Todo iba perfecto, el dispositivo funcionaba bien hasta hace unos d铆as que repentinamente el control se muri贸.

Ya se le cambi贸 de bater铆as, ya se hizo el proceso para resetear el control y al final ninguna sirve. El control dej贸 de funcionar y no tengo manera de que sirva. De momento uso el roku con el celular pero no es para mi lo ideal ya que tengo otros dispotivios de la marca que no fallan.

Lo peor de todo es que ya ni puedo regresar el dispositivo y el proceso de garant铆a en Roku.com solo sugiere 'comprar' otro producto.

Espero poder encontrar una soluci贸n favorable o espeor el vendedor me ayude
