Roku Express 4K Streaming Media Player Only $24.99 on Amazon (Regularly $40)

Got this Roku Express 4k+ and love the options it gives you for apps that your smart TV just doesn’t allow. The remote can turn the TV on and off as well as change the volume. Voice Recognition can pull up a show on different streaming platforms. The interface is easily navigated and straightforward. The response is also very quick there isn’t a lag when browsing and switching platforms. Like it so much that I bought the Roku Ultra for the living room so this one will go into the bedroom. Also syncs with Alexa but the only thing that it will do is turn the tv off, pause and resume.

Hands down, this is the easiest way to add streaming to a TV that doesn’t have it built in. I found out my parents were paying a ridiculous amount ($300/mo) for cable and got them this for Christmas. I removed it from the packaging before wrapping it and set it up at my house using my streaming accounts (Netflix, Disney+, HBOMax, ESPN+, and Paramount). I didn’t do Prime because I was concerned they haphazardly purchase stuff. They are in their 70’s, so sometimes it’s just easier to set stuff up, rather than try to talk them through it over the phone… When they opened it and installed it, all they had to do was tell the Roku their wi-fi password and it was ready to go! I even arranged the Apps that were available at the top of the menu and included a sheet of paper detailing which apps they could expect to work. Easy Peasy. They LOVE it!
