Pros & Cons
Pros
I find that although the former roku streaming stick+ was fast loading apps, this one is noticeably faster. It's super fast. It’s worth every penny. Good access to our streaming subscriptions.
Voice control and built-in headphone jack on the remote. Remote is rechargeable. The only con i foresee is the remote has to be charged.
Stick is slightly longer than the recess on the back of my tv. Apps load up almost instantaneously. Only glitch we have is if the kids leave it on pause for too long.
Cons
A credit card is now a non-negotiable with roku. There is no excuse that it's still using micro usb. Flimsy port for ear plugs.

Price
Happy with this cheaper option for cable tv
I like the freedom of being able to control the cost of watching tv and not having a bunch of channels i never watch
I paid 60 for roku one time and have been able to watch all i could ever want to watch
I was paying 140 a month for dish x 12 months 1680 per year and what i wanted to watch was very limited
Shipping

Competitiveness
We seldom remember to use voice control but it is useful and surprisingly more reliable than say siri as an example
And better setup than amazon fire stick
After loading netflix hulu apple disney and espn there was no room for any other apps nor could i run updates to existing apps ... Read More
