I have the old roku 2 and holy moly the stick is awesome. Much faster and i can just plug it in with the USB. Only down side using USB as power is ROKU shuts down when you turn off the TV. Ones you turn on the TV takes few seconds before it loads up. This will be perfect when we travel, we watch all our shows at the hotels we stay at.

I highly recommend the Roku Streaming Stick+. I needed to replace my Roku 2 after almost 5 years, and the Streaming Stick+ was the best product for my tv. Very simple set-up, and as soon as I signed into my Roku account, everything from my previous Roku synced up. The apps are much easier to use on this model, the software works beautifully, streaming is smooth. Definitely worth the upgrade.

Got this one as my old Roku could not connect to internet in one of the rooms. This model can even detect a strong signal on my 5G network (my iphone7 cant seem to do that). Works like charm and setup was easy as it downloaded all my apps. Wish it could have logged me in to :).

Absolutely horrendous product. I have an older roku streaming stick that has worked fine for years on my TV. A few weeks ago I purchased the newest version and when I tried to install it the screen went black. Tried multiple times with the same result. I returned it and got a new one thinking that it was the stick. Tried to set up the new one tonight and had the same issue multiple times. So I called Tech Support. He was convinced that it was an issue with my TV not being compatible with the stick. I told him that the older stick has been in there for years with no problem so how could a newer technology not be compatible with a newer TV? He still claimed that it was my TV and it wasn't compatible with the stick. The website says it works with all HD TVs. I am beyond livid at this point.

Roku is where entertainment begins! I bought it so I could watch a couple of web sites on my TV. The websites were much clearer on my TV and there were so many other free channels I could also sign up to use. I spend more time watching shows on Roku than I do on my TV. I love that I can use the mic to search for what I want. It's definitely worth the extra money!

It is a lot faster and the menus are easier to read. Great device, the only issue I have is that I did not read the specs well enough to understand that the volume control will not work on external sound devices that are NOT controlled by the TV set.. Not a show stopper but a feature I really would like to have.

Excellent response time. Setup is simple and straightforward. Only issue is why does it need a light on the stick? I like my room dark and noticed a glowing light on the wall behind the tv as I woke in the middle of the night. Piece of electrical tape fixed it, but it's not necessary to even have the light. If I don't see Roku on my screen I know it's not working. Too many of these things have lights that seem fine until you want your room dark to sleep, then they raise their unnecessary glow and it's annoying.

Bought the streaming stick+ for its features. Returned the first one I bought as the remote didn't work. The next worked but would occasionally have issues with the remote. After just over 2 mos. the arrows don't work and all I get is the bouncing roku across the screen. Tried all fixes out there and still nothing. Very frustrated. Not worth the money!!

Just got it yesterday and hooked it up right away. It took a little time on my end to get passwords entered but it's really nice to use. It's fast and the picture clarity is fantastic. It's very responsive to choices on the remote. I would, though, like to have the little strap on this remote that was on my old one. It's helpful when I'm rummaging around in the dark for the Roku remote to be able to find the strap and give a little pull. But I'm not complaining. I'm so very glad I replaced my old little Roku box.

We own a Roku ultra and moved into a new house that didn't have a connection that was hardwired and I didn't want to drop a cable. I was skeptical if our connection would be fast enough but it works great and looks good without all the wires. I give it an A+.
