Type of review

Roku wouldn't turn on at first. Spent a lot of time reading and rereading instructions. Replaced the power cord with my own and turned the Roku on. Then the remote wasted a lot of time again and wouldn't connect. Returned the block and bought a NEW unrenovated block. Because the Roku worked, instillation was quick and easy. A lot of time wasted on a bad block.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Some issues

Doesn't work best on TV and video

I have another Roku that I've never had a problem with but got this one because we were adding a TV to the house. This Roku needs to re-sync with the remote every time you turn it on. Sometimes it takes multiple times to sync. I disabled and restarted Roku, but it still won't sync when enabled. It's incredibly frustrating, especially when kids can't use it. I will return this item. Aside from the fact that this one doesn't work, I love Roku. The other works perfectly for us and has never hadโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others

I have 3 Roku devices in my family and I really like them. I've tried Fire Stick and Apple TV, but they don't work as well as Roku Streaming Stick. This purchase was a refurbished product but it is in perfect condition and works just as well as the non-refurbished joystick I own. Latest remote control and power supply included. I've had trouble getting a consistent Wi-Fi signal on the Fire Stick, but I don't have this issue with the Roku Stick. I also like that I can control my TV's power andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • No performance

Works like new! suitable for streaming media player

I bought a refurbished Roku Streaming Stick and I love it! I didn't even realize it's refurbished and there's a guarantee if it doesn't work. It was very fast and didn't make any mistakes at all and the picture was HD quality. There are many channels and Hulu or similar services are much cheaper for live streaming. It saved us a ton of money, was easy to set up, and really easy to use. Mine even came with batteries despite the description saying 'not included' and I was able to order a freeโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Other interesting options are available.

I have a Samsung Smart TV that is a few years old and the apps are very slow as I believe they are no longer updated on my model. For example, I still have the old slow version of Hulu and Netflix takes a long time to load because of the automatic video previews. This item was great and really upgraded the TV. Not only is it fast and responsive, but it also has significantly better image quality compared to the built-in apps. It's a huge improvement, and it's great if you've got a decent 1080pโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Expensive

Surprisingly slow: TV and video

It has a much faster processor, but unfortunately it feels slower than my old stick from 2016 in many ways: slower connection to my wifi, slower downloading of pictures of available movies , slower logging into services like Netflix or Hulu, slower buffering of streaming content. This is the second one I've tried. The first one was refurbished and had so many issues I sent it back, but this one is new and not much better. Also, it had weird intermittent issues connecting to my 5GHz (802.11ac)โ€ฆ

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Has quirks

Easy to program, may not be needed.

Almost identical to Roku Express. I bought one of each and the only difference I can see is that the Roku Stick remote has a microphone. The mic is great, but not great. It should be 2-5 inches from your mouth, and even then it may be missing a syllable or two. The reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5 is because of Roku's limitations. There are very few buttons on all remotes because TV and cable remotes offer many conveniences that Internet TV doesn't. What I miss right away: 1) Progress barโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Compatibility

McCarthy as secret blacklist

This would be a five star product if it weren't for McCarthy's blacklisting and Roku Support's ignorance of diagnosing it. Happened to me that I couldn't add the channels I wanted to Roku - Premier, Pluto to name a few. I called Roku Support who helped me turn Roku back on and then did a factory reset. After that didn't work, a Roku support rep over the phone said the Roku Stick was broken and told me to ask Revain to replace it. I couldn't believe it, read more about the issue online andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • All is well!
Cons
  • Negative Impression
