The Streaming stick is great...when I can actually get the remote to work. I consistently freezes up and will not work until I completely remove the batteries. I have tried everything, new batteries, re-pairing the remote, a reset. They all work only temporarily. Then it's back to removing the batteries again until it FINALLY works. Would be 5 stars with a better remote.
I bought the Roku stick for a 2nd TV after using the Roku 3 box on my primary TV for about a year. It does what it promises and I am satisfied with it as such. Roku explains clearly in it's description that it isn't as fast as the Roku box but that only seems to be an issue when searching/scrolling. Otherwise it streams just fine as far as I can tell and I doubt anyone can actually perceive any difference in speed otherwise.
