I do appreciate the ease of use of ROKU's remote. However I also wish the ROKU program came with written instructions. I'm 77yrs young, been retired 22yrs, and never had much of a career using technology or a computer. Most appliances we purchase today assume we have a certain level of experience with technology and that’s not always the case. I'm not afraid of the technology, but I sometimes need a track to steer me .

The process was easy to set up, minimal packaging and direct, easy instructions. I also like the fact that Roku has it's own "channel" with some good programming. I haven't tested everything out yet (like the voice option) but I'm glad this version has options, while still keeping it easy. If I had to complain, it would be the mute button on the right side of the remote. The way I hold the device, I keep accidentally hitting that button, but it's not a major issue. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Roku is the best. I have an original smart TV that isn’t very smart. I already was using an older Roku stick that worked fine but my husband wanted one that he could speak into. It works great and seems to be a bit faster. I always recommend Roku stick to people that do not have a smart TV but have a HDMI port.

I ordered a couple of these for my tv’s that don’t have Roku. I thought it would be a pain to get it going, but I was surprised. The unit simply clicks in the back of set, plug the power cord in, put the batteries in remote, sign into your Roku account, and the tv is in business. Roku screens and searches are much more cogent than the software in Sony tv sets. It makes life easygoing.

I got one of these after my old chromecast died and I knew many of my friends had one, but I'd never used one myself. Honestly, I wish I'd switched sooner. It's so easy to use, the layout of the app is beautiful, it has a surprising amount of free content and shows (including some I loved and haven't seen in years!) and it was easy to add apps like Dropout which was the most important one for me. It's worked perfectly since I got it, and now another friend of mine is getting one after seeing how nice it was!

I have now purchased 3 of the 4K streaming sticks because they are easy to use, they don’t lose internet connection like the basic model. Once I registered the first one, when I went to set up tv #2 it transferred all of my channel choices and passwords so that I didn’t have to go through that again. It was so convenient.

When I received my Roku player, the volume button was defective. I wasted almost an hour online with an uneducated, condescending agent. I was promised that they would send a new remote, and a email follow up. NEITHER of those things happened! GARBAGE product! Garbage Customer Service! AVOID THIS COMPANY!

I have always loved Roku over firestick. However, since buying a new Roku, suddenly, the sound cuts out every couple of minutes. I looked into it and there are several threads and blogs complaining that there is no way of fixing it... That Roku always reverts back to check your cables. I cannot in good faith recommend this product any longer.

Just purchased the Roku streaming stick to replace our other streaming stick because of the Spectrum app but glad we did. It was easy to set up and most of the app selection is the same. If I am being nit picky, I think the remote could be a little smaller but overall, great purchase!

Knowing before what I know now, I never would have waited so long to get started with Roku. The wide variety of content is beyond amazing! Movies, documentaries, live TV. It's absolutely astounding. I'm still in the early stages of finding my way around, but it seems every day I find something new. I don't want to say I'm "addicted," but I think I'm pretty close. - but only in the best way. I can even access the two Sioux City, Iowa TV stations that I grew up with, so Roku has even allowed me to check up on what's happening in and around the little hometown I left so many years ago. On short, Roku is FANTASTIC!!! Oh...and one other thing: Bye, bye cable. I won't miss you.
