Quite a few reviews mention that the Roku Stick is much slower than the Roku 3. This might be the case, but as someone that has only owned the Roku Stick, it is plenty fast! I got worried reading reviews after making the purchase, but I am happy to say it is quite a bit faster than I thought it would be (faster than the Apple TV I owned previously).
I bought mine about two weeks ago. I wish I would've known what this was a long time ago. Way cheaper than cable and there's always something to watch.
An easy way to get into streaming. The best aspect, after finding out how easy it was to install, is the global view you get when looking for a specific movie or TV show--it shows you all available resources and prices. Also, glad to find out that a second ROKU, bought for our river cottage, installed without any confusion or overlap. A great value.
I have a roku 3 and love it. thought I would try the stick on another TV in the house and I'm glad I did. Other than a slightly slower response time, the Roku stick has performed fine. Hardly notice the difference. Love my ROKUs!!
The streaming stick is a useful little gadget. It eliminates the console needed by the other Roku devices. The only issue is the remote. It's useless. I have had to sync it every time I use it. The nice thing is, if you have a smartphone or tablet handy, the app works significantly better.
