The Streaming Stick is great. I got this after our Roku 1 stopped working, it's great because it connects directly to the tv so little hands can't reach it and drop it on the ground. I read a review that it's a little slow to respond to the remote, but I don't think that's true at all.
I generally recommend this device. It has great features. There are a few streaming apps that I wish were available, but that is a minor complaint. My biggest issue is the remote. It starts working fine and then just stops working even with new batteries. I have to unplug the device to get the remote to work again. This is a major problem and complaint.
My daughter got this for Christmas and she absolutely loves it and uses it all the time over watching regular tv! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because it appears to be wireless, but when you open it , there is a power cord that has to be plugged in. That was the only issue.
Already have a smart tv, but it's 4 years old and the interface was in dire need of an update. Lots of research led me to ROKU streaming stick and I love it! It's constantly updated, has tons of content available, paid AND FREE and it's very simple to use! And I love being able to stream stuff I choose on my phone (YouTube, photos, music) to my TV thru the ROKU interface! Glad we made the purchase!
