I love this little Roku. Super easy to set up and use — I haven’t had any problems at all. I use it in my garage TV, and it streams perfectly with no lag or connection issues. Great value for the price and does exactly what I need.

In my ignorance I have purchased multiple Firesticks. Gen 1 gen 2 and gen whatever and they have all ended up the same way....in the garbage can. I have a small TV by my bed that I like to fall asleep watching - it's my nightly ritual, but my Firestick obviously did NOT get the memo because it has proceeded to block or delay me from watching something just about every night over the last 4 or 5 months. I have rebooted it time and time again. Unplugged it and even reset it to the factory settings once because it was, for some inexplicable reason, running out of memory. Even after deleting about every application I had installed, many of which, BTW, the device will NOT let you delete...which is another issue I have with the Firestick. Anyway, the reset worked for a while and I thought all was good but I was wrong. Slowly but surely is started to pause and I waited only to see the message that "something went wrong"....no kidding. Click okay to restart...which also takes forever. The lockups the pausing, the error codes, the nightly reboots and unplugging.....my gosh what a piece of junk. This is no exaggeration....I have sat down to go to bed and spent upwards of 30 minutes or more, messing with the Firestick to start a video so I could lay down and fall asleep. Seriously.....EVERY SINGLE NIGHT I had to deal with this piece of junk !!!I even swapped it out the other day with one in my home office that had not been used in a while, geez I wonder why, and it did not even start up. Just died while sitting doing nothing other than being plugged in. I was done, done, done.Why I did not try a Roku device long ago I will never know, but it is working flawlessly and only took me about 15 minutes to configure. That is less time than it took my Firestick to boot up every night. No it does not control the volume or turn off my TV, but neither did my Firestick, but what it does and does well, is it allows me to start Netflix or HBO in seconds. No delays, no losing the network connection, no spinning circles that usually result in errors.....just point and click and booya !!It is not perfect to be sure. I am not a huge fan of the select and arrow button setup. Would be nice if the buttons were spaced further apart and the select button was more pronounced so you can operate it more easily by feel...which I do a lot, but I suspect I will get used to it over time. It also allowed me to easily customize my screen and delete ANY preinstalled apps from view, no exceptions, and the process was very intuitive. I have not read the instructions and don't think I need to at this point.Outside of the need to have a Roku account and the initial push to purchase various packages and streaming platforms and enter a payment option, which I did not do, the Roku has gone silent. It just does it's job every night like a good remote should and for a third of the prices of a Firestick and I could not be happier.If you are wondering if a Roku will work better than a Firestick....the answer is YES !!!I have one of the half dozen Firesticks I have purchased over the years still in my garage/gym and so far it seems to be okay. I know it's just a matter of time until it bites the bullet though...it's not a matter of IF. I might be wise to just get a another Roku now and save myself the frustration of another "system update" which is another story all together....but I will spare the details !!

Decent streaming stick with lots of options. The functionality is great because you have access to streaming services as well as television through Roku tv. It is fairly easy to connect to your services and switch between your tv and the streaming stick. The picture quality is impressive and high quality. The stick does not overheat when in use so it is a safe streaming device.

I love it. Got my tv off FB marketplace and didn’t know how old/if it would work with this. It works great and is pretty cheap- definitely buy instead of the stick if your tv is not mounted on a wall. Even if it is you could probably use the sticker to have the express sit on top of the tv. Remote is easy to use and great for if you only use streaming services like me

Easy to set-up. Easy to use. I like Roku over the fire sticks. Helps turn an older "smart" TV into a better option. Remote works well, no issues with wifi either. Worth the price.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I really love this Roku Express. It's easy to set up and offers so many shows and movies. Saves me a lot of money over cable.
