    Best streaming bang-for-the-buck, best in class universal search
    I was looking for the easiest way to get streaming apps on a TV in the kitchen, and the Roku Express fit the bill. It comes with a two-prong USB wall power adapter, but most modern TVs, including mine, have a USB port that can power the Roku directly from the TV. There's even an included velcro tie to keep any excess length in the power cable tidy. The included HDMI cable was long enough to reach but not so long that routing it out of sight was difficult. The included adhesive strip was a nice touch, making mounting it to the underside of the TV quick and easy.The biggest drawback compared to the higher-end Roku devices is that the remote is IR, which means it does require line of sight in order to work, but since sticking it on the TV is so easy it's not an issue. Just know that you can't have it hidden behind the TV or inside a cabinet and still have the included remote work.The best thing about all Rokus is the software. It's dead simple to setup and navigate, and the search is better than the Amazon Fire stick because it doesn't prioritize any service. You can search for a title (or actor, etc) and it will show you results from every service available. This is especially nice for surfacing results from the free apps that I wouldn't think to search otherwise, like Sony Crackle or the Roku channel. There's a "Featured Free" category that's very nice for surfacing content that's available outside of the major streaming players like Netflix and Prime.The remote is small and lightweight, and uses two included AAA batteries. Unlike fancier Rokus, it doesn't have a headphone jack on it, but if you put the Roku app on your phone you can achieve the same thing and listen through headphones. That's particularly handy in the bedroom for late-night viewing that won't bother your partner. The phone app also let's you use your phone as a remote control.Even though the chip in the Express is the least powerful in the Roku line, navigating and starting videos is still responsive. It takes about five seconds for the unit to "boot up" when it first powers on, but after that there aren't any slowdowns or stutters.The value is fantastic. For any secondary, non-4k TV, like in a bedroom, guest room or kitchen, the Express is the best streaming option to get. Everything you need to get up and running is included-- it's nice that on such an inexpensive item they're not nickel and diming you by not including batteries or HDMI cable.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Extremadamente fácil de utilizar y muy rápido.
    Reviewed in Mexico on December 10, 2018
    Recientemente adquirí una televisión para ponerla en mi cuarto pero que carecía de características smart por lo que compré este Roku stick ya que estoy familiarizado con la plataforma Roku al estar presente en mi tele TCL como sistema operativo. La interfaz de Roku y su simplicidad de uso es lo que la hace muy atractiva y también en gran parte su rapidez y fluidez al utilizarlo. Espero y mi reseña le ayude de algo a alguien.

    ***CONTENIDO DEL PAQUETE***
    En el paquete donde vino el Roku Express venía incluido todo lo necesario para que te pongas a utilizar el Roku Express. Se incluye un cable micro USB que se conecta a un puerto USB que esté disponible a tu TV o que se puede conectar a la pared en caso de que la tele no cuente con puerto USB (viene con un cubito incluido)
    -Viene también un cable HDMI que va del Roku a tu Televisión. El Roku Express no cuenta con otros puertos y solamente lo puedes conectar por HDMI (a menos que consigas un adaptador)
    -Viene su control remoto infrarrojo que es bastante fácil de utilizar y una tira de cinta adhesiva que puedes utilizar para fijar el Roku a tu TV.

    ***CONFIGURACIÓN Y FUNCIONES***
    Al haber conectado tu Roku y haber hecho los ajustes donde fijas la resolución correcta para tu TV saldrá una pantalla donde puedes configurar la conexión de tu Roku a tu modem/router y después de ahí agregar "canales" recomendados (que más bien son como apps, pero dentro del ecosistema de Roku)
    Una vez haciendo eso ya es cuestión de iniciar sesión en los servicios que utilizas y listo!
    Como había mencionado anteriormente la interfaz de Roku es muy rápida y el desempeño de las apps es bastante aceptable (excepto Spotify, el canal de Spotify es SUPER lento en Roku)
    En cuanto a la conexión a tu modem/router que se realiza es solo por la banda de 2.4 ghz pero siendo que solo transmite contenido Full HD como máximo con eso basta.
    -Funciona de maravilla con el app de control remoto para iOS o Android lo que te permite controlar el Roku por medio de tu celular así como acceder a la magnifica función de audio privado que te permite escuchar el audio de lo que estés viendo en tu Roku a través de tu celular teniendo audífonos conectados a el para esas ocasiones cuando no quieras despertar a quien se encuentre dormido.
    -Cuenta también con la función de screencast que te permite enviar de manera inalambrica el contenido de tu celular o tablet Android que cuenten con esta función y también con iOS pero por medio de una app especial (no recuerdo el nombre) Con mi celular Mi A1 de Xiaomi las conexiones se realizan rápidamente y se transmiten ambos audio y video lo que lo convierte en una solución ideal para visualizar contenido en tu pantalla que no puede ser reproducido por el mismo aparato de Roku.

    ***NOTAS FINALES***
    Dado que el Roku Express es un producto que considero de entrada no cuenta con funciones más avanzadas como las que tiene el Roku Premiere pero que sirve bien si lo único que buscas es poder acceder a servicios como Netflix, Amazon Video, YouTube, Google Music, Spotify en máximo 1080p.
    Vuelvo a mencionar lo genial del app de Roku para controlar tu Roku Express ya que si tienes más de un dispositivo Roku te permitirá controlar esos por medio de la app y agregar canales de manera automática por medio de la app.
    El producto está super barato y funciona de maravilla. Definitivamente lo recomiendo al 100%
