With my new Roku Ultra, my TV turns on in SECONDS !! I don't have to wait and wait while things load and load,.....(: When I got it for Christmas 2025, I charged it for probably 5 min and I have never had to charge it since, even by today Jan 31, 2026. Great product ! I've always bought ROKUs and I always recommend them.

My smart tv is slow to change channels and menues. Sometimes having to hit a button a 2nd time thinking the first time didn't work. That would result in a selection I didn't want which made me have to start over again. Very frustrating! The Roku Ultra is super fast now. I love it. I also love the backlit buttons on the remote.

I bought one of the new Roku‘s that were sticks like the fire stick. Then I found out that a wall mounted TV. Can’t see the stick without an extender. The only other kind of device Roku is now offering is the ultra. I received the stick in the mail and it still would not have reached out for my TV that is wall mounted. It seems the remotes can’t see around the corners.. I don’t know why Roku didn’t know this, and I don’t understand why they got rid of all their other lower priced, front of the TV devices. I love the ultra five stars! I hate the fact that you can’t get a lower price Roku device that will fit in front of a TV one star!

Not sure why almost every tv nowadays needs apps built in but it seems to bog down a lot of different types of televisions. Anyways, for that reason, I bought the ultra to get rid of slowdowns and crashes that would occur. About a month in and it's performed way better. I even use the Lan hookup and that's worked quite well.

I replaced my 4k Express with the ultra since the former had so many WiFi dropouts and “no internet connection” messages (despite having good 300mb connectivity). I am now using the Ultra’s Ethernet port with CAT6 cable to my router which eliminated all the “buffering”. Working fine now.

Picture quality is great. The unit is in an area of marginal WiFi coverage, so the Ethernet port was used in combination with a MOCA network for internet connection. The result is consistently great picture quality without buffering due to weaker WIFI. The remote that lights when move and is USB-C rechargeable is a nice bonus.

I bought this to replace a Roku stick that I thought was going bad. Turns out it wasn’t stick but I still haven’t figured out issue so still trying to track that down . I previously bought an ultra since my Samsung smart TV kept buffering even though it was up to date. Liked the no batteries to replace which was a major factor but I prefer Roku over Fire stick so no brainer there.

We purchased the Roku Ultra as an alternative to using the default apps on our TV. We encountered delays when trying to change channels or switch apps. The load times were frustrating but the Roku Ultra has been a game changer with quick loads and fast response times. If you’re using the default TV apps and experiencing delayed response times, Roku Ultra is for you. We definitely recommend.

I just upgraded from the 2017 model to the 2024 model, love the huge improvements. My favorites are the lighted remote and the Bluetooth headset capability with my Bose headset. The new Roku is very obviously much faster and more pleasing to work with. Thank you, Roku for updating your product like you have.

I bought the Ultra to integrate my stereo system and TV. I don’t use the Roku remote, but a universal one that can turn on the Roku, TV and stereo system. It works very well. One feature I really appreciate is that I can pause and rewind live TV. Very good feature.
