Overall, the Roku Express is a great value for those wanting a no-fuss, budget-friendly streaming solution.

Fast and easy. Had an old Samgung TV that would not download the apps that I commonly use like YouTube. This device took about 5 minutes to set up was all set up with all the apps I use on my other TV and devices. All you need is a good internet connection and you're good to go, no monthly fees or anything to worry about.One thing to note is that the remote that comes with the device only controls the ROKU functions, not your TV functions like power on/off or volume. So if you have the original remote for the TV, you have to switch between the two remotes depending on what you're wanting to do. Although, I'm sure that there are universal remotes out there that could be programmed to work for the TV and the ROKU unit, I just haven't investigated that far yet. This one gets and A+ from me. $20 turned a nice TV that was otherwise useless to me into a nice functional bedroom TV!

The device is kind of fiddly, but once you get your Wi-Fi and your streaming service credentials input, it updates itself and is very user friendly. The device setup has a lot of nice features like content casting from your phone and automating your TV power and source functions, and custom themes.If you want a wired connection, you can buy a USB Ethernet Adapter for Roku Express. Make sure it has the right style mini USB male input to match your Roku's mini USB female input (A or C).The only thing that puzzled me is that it does not turn off. Where the power button normally is on the Remote, you have a "back arrow" that takes you back to the last menu in most of the apps and the Roku menus.According to the instructions, you can unplug it to turn it off.Or, you can plug the Roku USB cable into your TV's USB, then it will turn on/off with the TV.You can buy a USB splitter if you are already using the USB (for media in my case).I don't want the Roku drawing power, however little it uses, when I'm not watching it.Once you power on the TV, select the source button HDMI you set the Roku to, and your streaming services are a button push away. There are even 4 buttons on the remote for Netflix, Max, Paramount and AppleTV.The Roku OS and the Apps work smoothly.I have managed to upset one of the Apps. It froze while I was endlessly perusing titles. All of the buttons were inactive, but I kept pushing the Return Arrow on the upper left and it finally closed the app and went home. On another streaming device, I had to unplug it. There are YouTube guides for a stuck Roku.There is a reset button on the rear, BUT I Only Use It When You Want to Clear Settings. Unplug It First.The instructions state:"Certain Roku models come with a physical reset button on the back or bottom of the device. This button is either a tactile button or a pinhole button. You can reset these devices to factory settings by pressing and holding this button until you see a flashing light".There are of course FREE shows and movies. And there are links to Premium Streaming Services have many Free Trials and Free Episodes you can access. So, you get instant gratification with just your Roku Express and an internet connection.The device setup Seems to Require a Credit Card during your online (PC Browser) account population. But, it is not needed (scroll to the bottom) if you already have your Credit Card Payment info setup with your Bank to pay your streaming fees.Of course you can put your card in to buy screen savers and other stuff if you want. But, if it is there, it is easy for anyone watching your TV to spend your loot.The Roku comes with a 3 Foot HDMI cable. One of my two Roku Express had 2 USB cables,. It had a Mini USB and a Mini USB C. The other device just had the correct USB cable that fit it's device.There is a sticky strip to attach the small Roku to your TV. I put mine close the TV remote sensor (left side of my TV) so I am in the habit of pointing my remote at the right spot.Prior this purchase, I was using my BluRay player to stream 2 of my services and I used my HTPC Chrome browser to access the other 2 services.So this Roku device is a time saving, energy saving WIN!

I love it. Got my tv off FB marketplace and didn’t know how old/if it would work with this. It works great and is pretty cheap- definitely buy instead of the stick if your tv is not mounted on a wall. Even if it is you could probably use the sticker to have the express sit on top of the tv. Remote is easy to use and great for if you only use streaming services like me

Bought this for my daughter’s room it works well. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is you cannot control volume with it. Other than that good product reasonable price. Easy hookup and runs good.

I already had a Roku in my living room and needed another one this was perfect for my bedroom it is easy to plug and unplug if you need to move it , the sound is nice , the better the tv the better the sound , came with the Roku device , the remote , cord to plug it in ,HDMI cord, and batteries for remote , the streaming is fast and easy but it depends on your wifi mine is pretty fast so I have no issues ! 10/10 would buy again , it’s amazing for the price .

cheap, efficient, fast, consistent, easy to use, for the price i payed it was perfect my girlfriend and i use our roku every night and we haven’t had a single issue after months of using it! the remote always works and at most we have to click one extra time every here and there! there is no volume or power button on it! we were originally hoping it had those but i still can’t complain!

I love my Roku. It's small and easy to connect, and it does a great job streaming a variety of channels, including Prime Video and other channels. It's simple to install, simple to use, and so much better than cable tv.
