All three of my TV’s are 2010-2016 Samsung models with the early app’s that they stopped updating. I got a Roku a Chromecast and a Firestick so I could honestly compare. I’m not a fan of brand bashing I will just say I have three Roku units now and they are awesome! I was concerned that the streaming stick would t do as well as the models with the set top receiver, you can not tell a difference. Great product without the disconnects or refresh wheel!

We had an old Roku for near 10 years but we had to replace it with an Apple TV since the old Roku device was too slow, could not upgrade firmware, and could not support Apple TV+. But recently I just realized the new Roku Streaming Stick has been out for a while and it does support Apple TV+. Meanwhile I do need a smaller streaming device for traveling to use, so I gave it a try. I thought even it’s not perfect but it won’t hurt for its much lower price. But surprisingly this Roku Stick is so portable, so tiny, so powerful and so simple to setup. And its remote is so easy to operate. My wife and I prefer to watch our Spectrum cable TV channels through the streaming service so we can just use ONE remote to switch from cable TV app to Apple TV+ app, Netflix app, Amazon Prime app, YouTube app and other apps. My wife has light dementia and she is always confused by the Apple TV remote and forgot where the right, left, and exit buttons are. But when we switched to the new Roku stick, she has no trouble to find all the buttons on the Roku remote. Now we are not just use this Roku stick during our traveling in the hotel, in the resort and especially on the cruise in our stateroom, but also we use it at home to replace the Apple TV. It’s a perfect streaming device.

I’ve now bought 4 Roku sticks for my home and one as a gift. I still use Roku even though I have smart TVs. I love the wallpapers, themes, and screensavers-smart TVs don’t have those! Good app options and I rarely have problems. Roku is the only streaming stick I’ll ever buy again.

I recently got the Roku Stick, and I have to say, it's been a game-changer! It’s so easy to use and has brought back so many of my favorite movies and shows that I thought were lost in the archives forever. The interface is intuitive, and the setup took no time at all. Whether I’m in the mood for a classic film or something new, the Roku Stick makes it super simple to find and watch exactly what I want. Plus, the streaming quality is excellent. If you're looking for a hassle-free way to access a huge library of content, I highly recommend the Roku Stick!

i bought ROKU for a Multimedia Boom Box Hoping to get Local TV and other things, i was let down, i found MOST EVERYTHING i want has a FEE and NO Local TV. Surprize! i found a boombox with an HD TV tuner and was Amazed at what i could get over the air locally! For FREE! doubt Now if i will use ROKU much.

I travel a lot for work and one big perk with Roku is it allows you to travel with your streaming services all setup. All I have to do is plug it in to a TV in a hotel and using my smart phone connected to the Wifi. This makes being away from home just a little easier. I've been doing this for years with a Roku 3 which has served me very well. About a year ago I upgraded to a Roku stick 4k which I noticed a noticable improvement in responsiveness. I've even bought a few more Roku sticks to plug into older smart TVs I have at home that are showing their age and putting new life into them. Even if you have a high end TV with Dobly Vision this is a great option!

This is now our 4th ROKU Streaming Stick 4k. I can't say enough about this device. The ease of setting up, the quality of the device, The voice search feature is a fantastic bonus. The incredible variety of streaming channels available and the fact that it is all free! Sure, you can also subscribe to various streaming services with your ROKU Streaming Stick 4k but with the hundreds of free choices available it isn't necessary.

I wanted a streaming device that wasn't complicated because I'm not tech savvy and don't have anyone around to hook up or connect things. I've have other streaming devices and this is the easiest to set up; just 3 pieces to plug in and then connected it to my wifi. FYI..after you set up, you may have to reset the streaming stick every time you turn your TV on. 1) Go to home 2)go to settings 3) go to systems 4)go to power...uncheck the box that says "after 20 minutes of no interaction". I also like that I can use my Google photos for my screensaver. This is a great purchase.

My wife loves the "Feel Good " movies slanted for women to watch. I wish I had purchased the unit sooner. It is easy for the younger people to get used to, but I am still instructing my wife. I like watching older movies and westerns. Because it works with our hi speed internet, the picture quality is excellent. I intend to purchase a second unit for the bedroom and link it to my account.

Bought to replace a old Roku stick which was actually working fine but the remote control was on its last leg. This new stick is much speedier and the remote control seems to be okay but (and this is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5) the buttons on the remote are super CLICKY and I really don't like that. I also am not crazy about how the Roku set-up wizard adds a bunch of channels I don't need so that I have to spend more time removing their bloat/promoted apps...so uncool. Other than that, this 4k stick is great and works pretty much as expected (minus those annoying clickety-clacky remote buttons)
