- Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2025Style: EnglishVerified PurchaseFast 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!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2024Style: EnglishVerified PurchaseThe 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!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2025Style: EnglishVerified PurchaseIt’s exactly as described plug in and play. So fast and easy. I installed it with in a minute and was watching all my apps as soon as I logged into my Roku account. Very cheap upgrade to my tv. I love how simple it was for such a great upgrade to my tv.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2025Style: EnglishVerified PurchaseThe Roku Express is a fantastic and affordable streaming device. I’ve switched all my TVs to Roku Express to cut cable, and it’s been a great decision. Setup is quick and easy, and the device works smoothly for streaming all the major apps like Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube. The included stand is a nice bonus for keeping it in place. Picture quality is excellent, and the interface is simple to navigate. Highly recommend for anyone looking to ditch cable and save money while still having access to all their favorite shows and movies.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2025Style: EnglishVerified PurchasePros:
* Affordability: This is one of the most budget-friendly streaming devices on the market, making it a great entry point for cord-cutters.
* Simplicity: Setup is incredibly easy and the interface is intuitive, even for those unfamiliar with streaming devices.
* Tons of Content: Access to a massive library of streaming channels, including free options like The Roku Channel with its own original content.
* Compact and Portable: Small enough to take on the go or easily hide behind your TV.
* Fast Performance: Despite its low price, the Roku Express provides smooth streaming and quick loading times for most apps.
Cons:
* Basic Remote: Lacks TV control buttons (power, volume) which can be inconvenient.
* No 4K: Only supports HD streaming, so not ideal for those with 4K TVs.
* Wi-Fi Can Be Finicky: Some users report occasional connectivity issues, especially with weaker Wi-Fi signals.
Overall Impression:
The Roku Express is a fantastic option for anyone looking for an affordable and easy-to-use streaming device. Its extensive channel selection and user-friendly interface make it a great choice for casual streamers. However, if you need 4K support or a more advanced remote, you might want to consider a higher-end Roku model.
Recommendation:
Highly recommended for budget-conscious consumers, those new to streaming, or anyone needing a simple and reliable streaming device for a secondary TV.

4.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't support Prime if you're in Singapore
Style: EnglishVerified PurchaseIt works well except it doesn't support Prime in Singapore. Imagine Prime selling a product that doesn't support Prime nor Disney +. Returning this since we watch only Netflix, Prime and Disney +. It does come with some free channels such as horror and food though. However, you need to watch these extra channels with ads.
