So 1st off, there are more powerful Roku streamers available. That said, I love the Streaming stick. This is my 2nd one because we got a new TV. It's a little sluggish from time to time, but it tucks away behind the TV great, was less than $40 , and gets the job done. I would not have bought another if I wasn't happy with the 1st one. For the price, I highly recommend it.
Suggestions for the next model would be just to bump up the specs a little to make it a little smoother and faster. Then you have a perfect 10. (Wouldn't hurt to include a flexible adapter in the box either for wall mounted tvs. It does stick out the back a good bit. ) Again, all in all a great device!
Love the small form factor but moving around within the interface is slow. Prefer using my Roku 3 for a much faster and better experience. If you prefer the smaller size I would wait to order the new Roku stick.
Best decision we ever made. We're saving over $120 a month having switched to Roku from Cable TV. Along with Sling TV on the Roku, there's nothing we can't watch. We now have a Roku stick in every room - the only thing we regret is not switching sooner. Setup was so easy, my 10 year old did it all on her own.
I chose the HDMI streaming stick over the chromecast and after using it for a month, I feel the product was rushed into market without proper testing.The interface is laggy, apps especially YT takes its own sweet time to load and if you are thinking about using the remote to type and search then you better have plenty of time on hand.What's worse is that the remote chewed through a pair of batteries in a month!
I purchased Roku about 2 months ago. Easy setup, easy to use, and not to mention the never ending options of movies! I will no longer live without Roku. Thank you!
I bought this stick about a month ago and I do really like this product. However, there are a few times when the screen would just go blank ( usually a pink screen ) and I would have to play with it to get the picture back, other than that it is really a good product.
