It's a really great product. I bought it for my father who liked an easier way to use Netflix. Unfortunately, the remote is awful. I have to reconnect it often. I can purchase a new remote (for a product I've purchased just 1 month ago) or connect my smartphone and use as a remote. Which doesn't help me due to my father not having a smart phone.
I bought this to put in the room my kids (2 year olds) play in so that I could turn on movies for them or turn on something for myself if they are occupied and there is something that I very much want to watch. It does the job satisfactorily in that it will stream what is asked of it. The only downside is that navigation can sometimes lag and if you don't use the USB connection to plug it into an electrical outlet you always have to wait for it to start up after turning on the TV. Overall I am satisfied but using a Roku 3 on my main TV definitely spoiled me in terms of how fast navigation and loading shows could be.
I purchased my first Roku stick from Amazon.com. It worked great for three weeks. No matter what I tried, it would not work. So I purchased my second stick from Wal-Mart. It has been working great so far. I've had it for a month.
I purchase this about a month ago and love it. It has many more added channels and easy to install... So happy I purchased it. I purchased one for my son who lives in FL and now he is able to watch he shows and connect to Netflix without going through his tablet.
I got this as a birthday gift and have used it every day since. It's fast and has all the apps I needed. I prefer the user interface on the Roku to my smart TV.
The best money I've ever spent for entertainment so many choices and options , my wife is disable and has coordination issues the remote is simple and easy for her to operate its one of the few things she can still do on her own ,and the stick is a lot faster than my ole hd model btw , Ty Team ROKU
This is my second roku purchase, and i love it. I now have two devices one for the living room & bedroom. I really enjoy the streaming stick & its small size!
