I have only had the Roku® Streaming Stick®+ (model 3810) two weeks, so I can't give a long-term, comprehensive review. I can share my limited experience though, which is positive. Initial setup was straightforward and painless. Apps for all of the streaming services associated with my Roku account were automatically installed. The ability of the Stick+ to control TV power and volume is a nice feature. I have used it on two Samsung TVs and it automatically detected and synced with each, and didn't require entering codes or fiddling around. I have two other Roku devices, an original Streaming Stick and a Roku 3. The Stick+ is a LOT faster than the original Stick. The responsiveness of the Stick+ isn't noticeably different from the Roku 3 (which is acceptable). The picture quality is good. I only have 10 mbps internet service, but I have not experienced buffering or any other performance issues. Even when another another device is streaming HD content, both streams work without a hitch. So far it appears to be more robust than a FireTV stick I had (that I gave to a daughter), which often buffered when another stream was active. Unscientific observation, but that's the way it appears to me using the “eye-test”. The bottom line is that I am happy with the Stick+. When I purchased it I actually wanted a hardwired (ethernet) device, but there were none available locally so I went with the Stick+. So far I have no regrets having done so, and I have no reservations in recommending it.

For some reason that I never figured out, I kept getting periodic extreme sound distortion. I have used Roku for years, my last one was 5 years old and never had any problems, sound or otherwise. I still am a supporter of Roku and have bought one that has an ethernet connection to see if that helps. So far the episodes of distortion are less, but not entirely gone.

We bought one a couple of months ago and just purchased another for a second TV. We love the stability and reliability (even though one of our TVs is a Smart TV, it's always losing our internet connection). The ROKU is always stable and has a convenient remote. Just wish our remote had a Mute button. But other than that, it's great!

Fast and easy set up. In less than 2 minutes all 72 apps were automatically installed. Streaming is faster than my original Roku 2 XS. Happy about the remote. I needed one for my tv that can turn it off and on and turn up and down the volume. The voice command is cool.

I bought this streaming stick for my grandson's room/guest room. It was easy to set up and looks great. I love that the remote also turns off the tv and changes the volume. I have Roku 3 on my other two sets and they don't do either function. Nice

I'm trying this out before I cut the cord on my over-priced cable that has way to much "JUNK" that I must subscribe to in order to get the few channels that are actually watched. So far so good...the only problem we experience is interference from neighbors "less than" electrical devices that have signals sent from mexico. Buffering issues also occur at times even with high speed connection from cable co. Local channels would be the ultimate!!! sound quality through my Bose system is actually much better than that which comes via cable TV.Still playing with it...just got it.

My 65"Samsung Curve UHD has a remarkable picture, but the OS or Smart software sucks. I purchased the Roku after a customer did the same not liking his sony Smart software and boy am I glad I did. On my Samsung the software responded slow, the wireless was always dropping and my VUDU app would buffer. NOT WITH THE ROKU, the wireless uses my 300MB Cox internet as it should, the apps including my VUDU play great and with no issues. I have now put a Roku on all 5 of my TV's..... Thank You Roku..... oh but I have the Roku streaming stick with 4K/UHD I cant dind that really cool Fish or under the sea screen saver.!!!!!!!

I finally replaced my old streaming stick that was so slow to load apps and change channels within my slingtv app with the new streaming stick+, and I am surprised at the speed it loads apps and changes channels. I love the new features that controls the TV power and volume, so convenient; one less remote to deal with!

This is my first step in breaking from cable. So far, very happy with my choice. Stick+ is easy to set up and the picture quality is better than the digital cable I left. the shows and movies are better than I expected. The remote is easy to use. Glad I switched

Traded the 3810 to replace a 3600 - very disappointed: 1) TV functions on the remote are inadequate 2) Firmware issues - cannot activate YouTube. 3) Does not increase the reception range of 2.4 / 5 Ghz as advertised. 4) Video issue where the screen constantly reverts from 16x9 to 4x3. TV is 1080 P, but the Stick, when set on auto resolution, displays 1080i. Do not use the video auto function. 5) The clock screensavers do not work. 6) The weather screensaver does not work. 7) There is no support means at Roku to resolve issues. Model 3810 is not ready for sale.
