    Roku Streaming Stick | Portable, Power-Packed Player with Voice Remote with TV Power and Volume

    • This thing is awesome, so simple.
    • I previously had a fire stick and loved that thing a lot
    • This thing won't work at any distance from your WiFi router
    • Best thing since sliced bread
    • Best thing is I can stream to my patio TV and no cable cord or box needed.
    • The best thing about the Roku is you can install any streaming app.
    • However, there is no way I could have predicted all the ways this thing was going to malfunction in 30 days - especially since the only thing that happened within the 30 days was the "normal" overheating
    • Amazing, coming from a heavy Chromecast user this thing is excellent
    • I have the 2nd generation roku (equivalent to roku ultra but older model), a roku express (got it for free, promo thing a couple years ago), and this item.
    • Love this thing
    • This thing is awesome
    • This thing is great
    • These things are great, I need to buy another one.
    • I was now close to my 30 day warranty expiration and not being a big TV watcher for long periods of time, the unplugging thing worked well enough
    • Best thing I've spent money on this year
    • IMHO.The best thing about this new Roku Stick and the primary reason for my purchase: it supports YouTube
    • This thing is awesome, it's powered if your TV has a USB and you plug the other end into the HDMI
    • The thing I like particularly well about the Roku is it's configurability.
    • The best thing of all is the portablility
    • This thing keeps freezing and disconnecting from the wifi
    • My family and I love this thing.
    • Slowest thing on earth, don’t waste your $.
    • This thing was a pain to set up.
    • Another great thing the remote can do is it has a button and microphone for voice searches, so you can hold the remote up and speak to it
    • The greatest thing since sliced bread
    • This thing is freaking amazing
    • Only thing i didn't like had nothing to do with the product itself
    • Good things
    • This thing is garbage, it barely connects
    • In 2018 and with this model that has all changed; this thing is amazing
    • This thing is great
    • This thing got so hot.
    • The other annoying thing is that the remote has to be re-paired ofter
    • Can't say enough good things about this - fair price and LOVE the volume and voice control on the new remote.
    • The picture quality was good, it was easy to use but the Roku stick kept overheating and according to Roku its supposed to give a notification but this thing was too hot to touch after only 5 minutes of use if that
    • One of the best things I bought this year.
    • unable to get the damn thing to work
    • Getting rid of cable was the best thing we ever did
    • This is the best thing on the PLANET right now in my opinion.
    • this thing works when it wants too, the remote control wont change channels and I have to go home in order to restart it..
    • But I guess all in all, that's the only upsetting thing about it
    • Love this thing
    • Slowest thing on earth, don’t waste your $.
    • Good thing you can return it.
    • I bought this because I'd heard so many good things about
    • I love this thing.
    • I have nothing but good things to say.
    • I used to think these things were pointless until actually purchasing and using it
    • First, this thing is fast.
    • I love this thing!
    • This thing works flawlessly.
    • I thought this was going to be like the roku express and have a delay when switching channels and things like that
    • they can find and access things well outside of their maturity level no problem, including unfiltered YouTube.
    • love this thing
    • Aside from all the other pros my favorite thing is not needing to use two remotes anymore
    • ** thing sucks
    • In terms of functionality, this thing is great
    • I love this thing so much and i only paid $40 for it
    • Other than that this thing is pretty amazing.
    • Easy to setupGreat videoEasy to useRF remote for the Roku functions (and IR for TV functions)Bad things:Nothing that I can think of.
    • Best thing I ever did!
    • One important thing to heed is the specs of your TV’s USB ports, if that’s what you’re using for powering the stick
    • Honestly I've only seen a few versions of Roku, but I do prefer a few things in this one to mention.
    • Considering the form factor, this thing is FAST
    • Holy cow this thing is amazing.
    • Best thing for TV, ever.
    • Best thing I have bought in the last couple of years
    • When it works I like it
