Well Worth The Money

Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought the Roku Stick, 3 to be exact, and had issues with them overheating on all 3 TVs. Did some investigating and found that most people preferred the Ultra. Returned the sticks and bought the Ultras, WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! No heat issues, and with using a micro sd card in the unit, the channels load much quicker. We had Hulu on our TV and would notice minor lag/glitches. Hooked the Ultra up and went through that and no more lag. I gave this 4 stars because the controller is still pretty cheap.

Not Completely Satisfied

Purchased 3 of the streaming sticks the weekend after Thanksgiving as we have had enough of high cable bills & contracts. Installed on main tv and began loading apps and using. Saw no issues and liked what we could do. Decided to hook up on the two other TVs in the house based on what we experienced. While watching a show through Prime Video a message popped up saying the stick was overheating. After researching online I was able to access the screen where you can see the temperature, 108C!!! I checked the other 2 Roku sticks and while sitting idle those sticks are at 88C & 82C, doing nothing!!!! Called Roku and they said they will send me out an extender to go between the tv and stick, we’ll see how that works. Checked temperature on other tv’s while using and both get up to around 96C when in use. Roku support said they do not have a known normal operating temp to tell me as each stick is different, what??? Anyways started using the Prime Video app again on one of the other TVs and temp went up to 106C. Tried on the 3rd tv and same result, 107C while using the Amazon Prime Video app. For some reason that app makes these sticks hot as can be. Again, Roku had no idea why and it doesn’t seem anyone else does either, very strange. From discussions I’ve had, and reviews I’ve read, it looks like the Roku Ultra is the way to go. Don’t like how hot these sticks run, makes me nervous as the first stick damaged the HDMI port on my bedroom tv, and people who I’ve talked to that have these said they have never seen their stick get that hot. I love what we are able to do with the Roku, but will do it through the Ultra and possibly the TCL tv. Will be returning the sticks.
