Eats batteries like candy

The remote eats batteries! I have started taking the batteries out when I know I won't be using soon. Otherwise, the stick boots up fast and improved my Netflix streaming.
I would recommend this to a friend!

just OK

I bought this to replace my Roku box that I'd had for a while, because the box would freeze up. Well, guess what - the streaming stick also freezes! I am disappointed. I do like that it takes up NO room and just plugs into the TV HDMI input. When it freezes, I just unplug the USB power that goes into the TV. My Internet is plenty fast so that should not be the problem; also the stick is within a couple feet of my wireless router, so that shouldn't be the problem either. I read one proposed solution of attaching a heat sink to it, but not quite sure how to do that. Supposedly it updates its firmware automatically. So I don't know... I would recommend it to a friend who wants to ditch cable, but it is far from perfect, although much more user-friendly than the Google Chromecast, which I tried & returned.

Remote only works when it wants to

I purchased two roku streaming sticks within a few months of each other. The first one worked fine. The second stick is used on another tv in another part of the house and has given me fits. It usually works upon startup...but then the remote stops working. I have tried all the remedies...but it eventually stops working. I have given up and I now use the remote application on my smartphone to control the stick. The phone actually works better...but it is a pain to have to bring the phone into that room when I want to use the roku.

Easier to use - has more useful features- is hidden from view - love how it keeps playing the next episode of my show without me having to click the remote in between

Too long needs angle power cord but

I love my roku s I have five.but this stick is lacking. First off it's too long the stick itself the cord should enter somewhere else or be on an angle I've tried to Tv with no success the space on the Tv don't allow it to fit so if you buy one make sure it will be long enough for it to fit with the power cord still waiting to give a better review unable to run it
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
