I own two Roku 3's and the streaming stick. The stick works good but does not compare to the Roku 3. The stick is slow to respond to remote inputs and sometimes hangs for a bit, but has never locked up totally. I suspect it is a processor issue with the stick being so small. Overall a great value tho. And easy to take on a trip. Love Roku!!
Bought a second Roku, this time went for the streaming stick. Works great just like my Roku 3 but the remote is pretty cheap, the buttons are very sensitive ( 1 press of the back button will sometimes click several times and back me out of my application.) Overall a great value and I recommend for any secondary entertainment systems. Use a Roku 3 for the main setup:)
I've loved my old Roku. The only reason I purchased the streaming stick was to screen mirror from my phone. It works for that, but the performance overall is disapointing. It's slow to respond to the remote and if I select fast forward, you can't stop it without Un plugging it.
