Rokus continues remain our favorite TV streaming devices. They are super easy to use and offer a wide range of streaming channels. Their displays aren’t fancy, but they provide exactly what anyone needs: fast, instant access to their favorite streaming services. However, figuring out which one to buy isn’t that easy.
There are currently five Roku streaming devices available, plus TVs, soundbars, and ones sold exclusively at certain retailers (not to mention older models still floating around on places like Amazon). Rokus usually have similar names and look almost identical, with minor changes happening every year, and it can be difficult to sort out the differences. We are here to help. If you’re like us, you want the best Roku for the least money. We’ve broken down the features we think you’ll actually want to own, starting with the most basic model.
Updated March 2024: We’ve updated this guide to include the latest Roku models.
