Cheap and efficient mini set-top box with all the major services, Cross-service search, Easy to setup and use, Fantastic companion app
Supplied cables are a little short (this may or may not be beneficial to some), May be superfluous for many, Strong competition from Amazon
Whether or not you need the Roku Express in your life depends entirely on your TV viewing habits, the TV you already own and any other peripherals you may already have attached. If you have a games console, for example, you can get the same major apps thr...
Great app selection, Easy to navigate, Improved performance, Cheap
Some dated app designs, Still not the fatest in use
The Roku Express is a well-priced way of getting full HD streaming smarts into a not-so-clever telly, and at £30, it's bit of a bargain, but with some noticeable cuts to keep that price down. Having to keep the box on display is nowhere near as slick as o...
If you want to add streaming services to a dumb TV in the cheapest, most user-friendly way possible, Roku Express is a great and affordable option. It lacks some features of the Roku Streaming Stick+ but is a fraction of the price at just £29 (versus £79)...
