The Roku stick is great. No box taking up space on the entertainment center. Streams Netflix and YouTube at higher quality than my iPad. Really pleased with it. My only knock on it isn't even Rokus fault. The watchespn channel sucks. For whatever reason, ESPN wants everything streamed in the highest possible quality. I dropped cable to save money. If I pay more for faster internet speeds that just puts me right back where I was.
I got this for my parents TVs because they're older and simplicity is key! They love it and for the first time they are watching streaming video. That is a huge step for them and I'm glad Roku helped make it happen.
I, bought the Roku, after reading reviews about the product. I was comparing it to the Chromecast, we previously had. I love the Roku capabilities. Easy to connect, surf and watch. My grandchildren, 3, 16 & 17 are pleased. as well.
Its a good product and I returned my Chrome device after I purchased the ROKU. The only issue is I have problems screaming movies or shows from my devices.
