A Chromecast killer!

I cut the chord a couple of years ago. So I have had a Chromecast for over a year and wanted something new for my living room. I looked into Roku and seriously, the best thing is that everything is on the stick instead of having to connect to my phone. Plus the amount of apps; it is amazing! Some (OK most) of the channels are weak, but the name brand ones are polished. I can even use my Spotify account on it.
My only serious complaint is that the Netflix app sometimes takes up to 2 minutes to load. But, I think it is a problem with the app itself, as I have this issue on my SECOND Roku stick I own as well as my Blu-Ray player. I would also love to see a couple of the channels (Hello Discovery Channel) to have more of their full programs. So, really neither of these are problems with the actual stick, more like content.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy

Remarkably easy to install, setup just as easy and fast as the "box" units I have on other TVs. I was afraid transmission from the remote would be faulty because the port is all the way behind the screen, but that hasn't been an issue.

I'm pleased with the Roku Streaming Stick, however, there are time when the remote won't connect with the product so I have to resort to my smartphone and Roku app to do the job.

Works well

Works well, only problem is that it seems to have a harder time connecting to the wifi than my previous Roku device. It disconnects in the middle of shows then you have to go and reconnect to the device. Other than that, it's great.

Kind of a waste of money

It's miserable trying to pick a show to watch. Constant freezing, so it takes 5-8 minutes to make a selection. I don't think the remote shuts off. The batteries are all ready dead after 3 weeks. Does not have Cinemax which was a disappointment also. I might try the Amazon stick next time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
