This Roku Stick has been perfect for what I intended. It's small, so I've taken it on trips and most tv's in hotels have HDMI so you can bring it with you. The iPhone remote makes it easy to search with a keyboard and load channels. A steal for the retail price!
I like the small factor size. It is about as fast as some of the older Rokus. Which isn't too bad. Since it is powered by the tv usb in my case, when you turn off the tv, it has to boot up. Which can take a few minutes. I use it mainly to stream my plex media.
I should've purchased our Roku long ago! It doesn't have quite the free programing available as I thought it might but we are Netflix subscribers anyway. We don't have cable or satellite and we live in a very remote area so we don't even have broadcast TV. Roku is fantastic!
We love the variety of movies and episodes. My daughter loves that they have sponge Bob, which is a cartoon that Netflix dropped. So wet had to get out just for that cartoon, but sure loves all the other movie ect
Compact and easy to use. However if I were to get another it would not be the stick. It fits loosely in hdmi port and is easy to lose connection because of it.
