Roku Express 4K+ | Roku Streaming Device 4K/HDR with Voice Remote, Free & Live TV

So worth the price. I love how easy the Roku is to use and set up. I just plugged it in and made an account. I will say, it is important to make sure that the base piece is visible and facing outwards so it can pickup the signals from your remote. I’ve had this for about a year and haven’t needed to change out the remote batteries yet. Love my Roku!

This is the third Roku device I’ve bought and the first 4K version. I think it’s a good value for the money, especially since I got it on sale. I attached it to my smart TV because it has apps like Kanopy, which my TV doesn’t offer. It was very easy to set up. Unlike earlier versions, the USB plug that I attached to the TV doesn’t get hot, which is a relief. It works well with my high speed wifi and I got an alert from the TV that it automatically adapts for best resolution. A major benefit this product offers is that when you sign into your Roku account at setup, it automatically adds the apps that you have added to your other device(s) if you have any. Therefore, you don’t have to figure out what you want and waste time looking for them. It also shows your watch and keep watching lists when you click on What to Watch. Another great benefit of Roku devices is that you can buy add-on services like AMC+, MGM+, etc. directly through the Roku channel and they are all billed through your Roku account rather than separate platforms. These can only be watched on a Roku device. They just had a holiday sale in which several of these services were offered at $1.99-2.50 per month for two months, so you can binge a show you like for a great price. Roku also has a section of free shows and movies and a lot of live channels dedicated to various topics. The smart features on some brands of TVs are super slow and often freeze up. If you have a TV like that, it’s best to reset it to factory settings and not connect wifi. Then you can attach this product for a stress-free and simple streaming experience.

I ordered this device and had it delivered within 8 hours, that in itself is amazing. OK, now about the Roku: The packaging was good, everything was nicely protected and contained everything you need to connect to any TV with an HDMI connector. Connecting the Roku was simple, a small USB wall wart for power, or you can use the USB port on your TV if it has one for power. The included HDMI cable was long enough to place it in a good position but not so long that you have a lot of cable flopping around Network setup was a breeze, I was able to use the provided APP to scan the network passcode directly to the device, very slick, and very fast. Setting up the Roku was a very simple process, I added the streaming services I use and set them in the Roku in under 20 minutes. The provided remote automatically synced to my TV without any intervention from me, the remote controls the power and volume on the TV so you do not need the second TV remote really unless you are changing settings. The Roku turns on almost instantly. I tested loading Amazon Prime Video first, whereas the Blu-ray player I was using for streaming would take several minutes to connect to Amazon Prime Video the Roku opened the service in under 30 seconds each time I tested. The video quality is excellent. The ease of use is excellent. The size and design are excellent, small, and easy to hide in plain sight, it even comes with its own adhesive strip if you want to mount it to the side of your TV. (The remote requires a line of site to function) The only thing I did not like about the Roku setup was the requirement to enter credit card information. I appreciate the fact that if you are going to purchase content that having your credit card on file makes the process faster, but, I still think there should be an option to only enter your credit card if you want to make a purchase. Overall, for the price and for the performance, you cannot go wrong with this product.

Our old TV just got a reprieve. After doing some research, we bought this Roku Express 4K+ streaming player and found it works quite well. We have hooked it up to an old Samsung 22" TV (model code LT22B350ND/ZA) which was made in 2013. Received it within a few days of ordering it and it took about 20 minutes to get it working. Ease of use: Follow the included instructions. I plugged it into our power strip rather than the TV USB port since I heard that there were issues related to that (one report of fire, some issues with inadequate power, etc.). Remote takes a little time getting used to - I haven't figured out what all the buttons do and I still haven't figured out how to slave the remote to adjust TV sound. I can imagine that will make my life easier because I won't need to use the TV remote for anything else except for changing the input source and doing some TV fine tuning. Volume adjust/mute buttons are on the side of the remote which was an issue for a few people, but I'm OK with it. From past reviews, sounds like the remote is not very durable but that remains to be seen. Speed: quite responsive - no complaints Appearance: The wireless receiver is quite unobtrusive. This Roku comes with a mounting strip so you can stick it where you want it. I just parked it on the TV base without the strip. Battery life and the rest: remains to be seen but for a gadget that cost less than $40, we're satisfied. So much so that we will get another for our living room TV - it's a few years younger but we expect the Netflix and Prime Video software for it to eventually outdate. One thing that bothers me is that you have to sign up for a Roku account which means giving out your credit card info. I still have misgivings about doing that being the closet Luddite that I am.

I disconnected my cable tv service because of the excess pricing and I only watch about 6 channels anyway. I got my own router. (That is reviewed elsewhere). I have 2 televisions hooked up with ROKU. One is a smart tv, the other is not. This work well on both of them. And the remote is nice because I don't have to first turn on the tv using the TV remote. It also has voice control on the remote and a volume control.This set does not have a remote control locator so, I stuck an extra "Tile" device on the back of the remote so we could find it easily. The remote is rather small and easily disappears into seat cushions, etc. The only thing I have not figure out yet (and so far this has only happened with MAX) is that ROKU kept disconnecting from the internet. I have a new modem and a new mesh router, so I may have to change settings with those, or it could be my ISP. I was able to reconnect via the ROKU app, but eventually had to pull out the TV to control to reconnect and finally had to restart my modem. So, to be fair, I do not know if the disconnection problem was with the modem, the router, the ROKU or the ISP. (ISP said I was getting service to the modem fine - but they always say that.) ROKU has the "Home" base to use. I could take everything off that was a pay for service app, except the ones I wanted to leave on. There are so many apps and so many channels to choose from that it is quite overwhelming. I was not really that interested in most of the ROKU "live" channels, but you can easily get to Amazon Prime, MAX, etc. from HOME, once you set it up, then set up your favorites in each app. The only thing I have bad to say about the ROKU device is that I wish it was a little bigger and had a couple more buttons to program for certain apps. Another thing to know is that when I disconnected my cable television, they did not cancel Disney+ and I could not transfer it to ROKU, so I had to cancel it on the Disney+ web site, then restart it under ROKU. So far, we do not miss cable TV.

I have a Roku TV and was using a different device service on another tv. I decided to get this devise when the other streaming devise service gave me problems and I couldn't get good service for it. I've been happy with this one, and it allows you to use your voice on the remote. There are many good free channels, but you can purchase other services as well. You can "cut the cable" with this devise.

Rokus are arguably the most affordable and easy to use streaming devices on the market. If you don’t have a Roku TV or any kind of smart TV, or want to use this with a projector or something else, this is a no brainer investment. I’ve purchased many of the older Express 1080p units and this 4K+ unit is basically the same with some added perks. The remote included with this unit is a voice remote and allows power control of the TV/display device all within the same remote. The old basic 1080p units did not come with this so it’s a great upgrade. If you use an external audio amplifier that integrates to your home theater via HDMI, CEC control can be used to allow the volume control to control that as well. All necessary cables and batteries for the remote were included. Also includes VHB tape (command strip) to adhere the Roku to your TV if you choose to do so. My application for this was a very early gen smart TV from 2013. Although it’s only 1080p it has a higher refresh rate than most TVs at that time, the picture quality is amazing, and it still works great so I saw no sense in replacing it. My only complaints are with the Roku design and platform, not this unit in particular: - Specific to the remote, there are a number of channel based services that would benefit from a number pad for direct dialing channel numbers. Roku does not support this, so OEM and aftermarket remotes will never be able to utilize this. - I’m a huge fan of the purple arrow buttons. Unfortunately they are rubber, not plastic. Easier on the fingers however they get gooey and degrade over time. I’ve had to replace a handful of Roku remotes over the years because of this - Dedicated streaming service buttons should be programmable. If I don’t subscribe to a service, I don’t want it as a remote hotkey. Interestingly enough, different remotes from different vendors all provide different variations of streaming buttons. There’s no consistency. At that rate, just get rid of them. Despite the small issues that bother me I still would not steer away from Roku as a platform. It has a lot to offer and an excellent price.

If you live in South Africa, I do not recommend you buy it, because most of the features do not work there, some apps do not appear and is not possible to install and if you like the soccer international live sport events you will be frustrated. The voice assistant does not work, even the voice search option

I have to share two points of view: 1- The seller was diligent in his responses and this added confidence in my purchase. 2- Now on to the product itself. I was in search for a streaming device for Netflix and Youtube only and roku gave me confidence over Google 4k streaming device. It truly works well and the UI is very easy and simple to use. I will definitely recommend buyers in Australia to go for it. However, if you have internet issue, no streaming deivce works.

Except, Disney + its not working in UAE!

After FlipKart shipped the wrong TV and refused to accept the unopened version back, I ordered this little guy to make the TV smart capable. It allows me to connect my phone to project apps onto TV and play music and shows from around the world that do not have an app. It is small and comes with a remote. Haystack news, Spotify, Netflix are available as apps. J wish more Roku apps were available in India. I take this with me when traveling so I have access to news and updates in English while in hotels where I do not speak the language.

Working well after a few quirks needed for setup overseas
