My reasoning was that a larger more expensive device with additional features might also be more reliable.

Nice device

With Amazon removing YouTube from their Fire TV line it's apparent that streaming rivalry gets in the way of Amazon providing a well-rounded streaming device

I love Roku and highly recommend the device!

Other than great device.

If the device quits working you have to send it back to the manufacturer

Excellent device for streaming, I never used the chrome cast, but I can bet this one is much better

I though this device was good for 60 fps (frames per second).

Best streaming device I’ve had and used.

Great device

I've had the Roku for 3 weeks and the device itself works great - no issues

Device itself is cool

Very intelligent device, after downloading the ROKU Remote App for my IOS device, I was happy to find out that I can listen to Audio on my Device while watching the video on TV Screen

Best device so far for Roku!

After moving to Florida in August (wi-fi provider is Comcast/Xfinity), the device was totally unresponsive -- I could not even get an initial setup and the remote would not pair with it.

Great device to have.

Perfect device recommended

Pretty cool device

I am sure Roku is a great device but only if it works on your TV.

One of the best devices ever, and at a great price!

I have always liked the Roku devices, including the Roku box I had years ago, and the Roku TV that I recently put in the kid's room.

Excellent device, everything works fine except:1

Nice device, good

Unable to download third party apps that aren’t supported by RokuThe verdict: both devices are really great at what they do

I love this device!

Bottom line, this device has some real problems

Great device.

Outstanding streaming device!!Works as expected and due to the quad-core processor works extremely fast and extremely well

For the price it's a great device.

I am very disappointed that this device stopped working one month after my purchase

Man what a slick little device

the xbox360 does it correctly, but it seems this Device has a bug and doesn't do

A great streaming device, with tons of channels and no connection issues.

Great device, the simple fact that you can take your shows to any tv is great

Love this device.

I really don't have other devices to compare the streaming stick to but the stick works

Both devices are awesome!

still not sure if the ipad app works 100% but this is a nice device that you can travel with

Excellent, such a great streaming device, so responsive

A fantastic device!This thing is amazing

This device is very easy to set-up and works great

Can't pair smart device either unless roku remote is operational to connect to wifi

Good device unless you want to watch Netflix

Excelent device, i am sure tan i will buy other!!

Best device out there if you're a "cord-cutter"

This device works excellent with my Vizio Tv

For steaming the device works great!

I also set up a couple of my smart devices to use as a controller as well.

The device works like new (knock on wood 😁) and we saved a few bucks

remote loses connectivity somewhat frequently and the device can be slow at times

Love Roku for being exactly what you need as a compact device

All are great devices

The device itself is awesome

I did my research and decided on this as the best streaming device for me

This is the most unreliable electronic device of any kind that I have ever purchased

My reasoning was that a larger more expensive device with additional features might also be more reliable.

This is an awesome little device

great device, needs more outside us support but if all you need is youtube and netflix works great anywhere

Love the device, not happy that one has quit already.

If you also have Amazon Prime you can sync your account with it among other types of accounts (Hulu Netflix etc).A very inexpensive streaming device to make your "dumb" a smart TV

Love, Love, Love this device

The device is great and set up is easy with one major caveat

The device is good, but the service is extremely limited out of US.

Lovely little device that initially worked well

Very good device!

This device is working great

Great device to move from one TV to another.

When it worked, it really wasn't a bad device but we had the Streaming stick for about 6 months and it suddenly stopped being able to pick up DLNA sources on our home network.

Wasted money for clunky device.

The roku app has had more and more trouble locating the device

Even when new, this is not an impressive device

Considering the fact I live in Brazil and the chrome cast works very well here, I confess this buying was in complete darkness, but I was surprised, because it works very well here and provides an excellent content!I conclude that this device has the best cost/benefit

For now I recommend this device for those who are looking for an alternate TV viewing experience

The device is good, but the service is extremely limited out of US.

I had the issue with the first one I ordered, and called Roku customer support, and after putting me on hold for 15 minutes, they told me it was a defective device and to return it to Amazon.

The device is great

The device quit working after 2 days.

This is an excellent streaming device

While all devices are very good, the streaming stick is my surprise favorite

There are a number of reasons a person would seek out a streaming stick instead of a more comprehensive streaming media device (Apple TV, Roku Box, Amazon Fire TV Box, etc.).Here are a few:1.

This is probably the best device I have bought in years.

Love the device, not happy that one has quit already.

Overall good device

Very disappointing, especially for being a brand new device

I love the performance it is an excellent device to have.

I up-graded my not smart
