The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the Roku Ultra is the choice for people who want Roku's ecosystem without the compromises of a stick. A high-trust Best Buy verified reviewer says it 'performs flawlessly and is noticeably faster than other Roku streaming devices,' and singles out the rechargeable backlit Voice Remote Pro. vice.com calls it 'the best high-end streaming device for watching television shows and movies on your 4K TV,' and a Target listing carries a 0.94 rating.
What reviewers liked
- High-trust Best Buy reviewer and vice.com both rate it the fastest, best high-end Roku
- Rechargeable backlit remote with lost-remote finder praised by r/Roku
- Wired Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth and full Dolby Vision/Atmos/HDR10+ support
Where it falls short
- Costs substantially more than Roku's sticks that cover the same apps
- An r/PleX thread argued the 2024 revision is a downgrade from 2022 in places
- Home screen still shows advertising

Across the reviewers we read, the Roku Ultra is the choice for people who want Roku's ecosystem without the compromises of a stick. A high-trust Best Buy verified reviewer says it 'performs flawlessly and is noticeably faster than other Roku streaming devices,' and singles out the rechargeable backlit Voice Remote Pro. vice.com calls it 'the best high-end streaming device for watching television shows and movies on your 4K TV,' and a Target listing carries a 0.94 rating.
r/Roku enthusiasm runs high: owners describe it as 'the best streaming device I've ever used,' citing quick navigation, the remote-finder feature, and a 4x-plus speed jump over older Roku boxes with no lag or buffering. The wired-Ethernet option, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, and HDR10+/Dolby Vision/Atmos support round out the premium positioning, and r/cordcutters credits improved Wi-Fi and interface.
The honest cons are mostly about value. At a meaningfully higher price than the sticks, multiple r/Roku threads question whether casual users need it when the cheaper Express 4K+ and Streaming Stick 4K cover the basics, and one r/PleX poster headline even argued the 2024 revision was a downgrade from 2022 in some respects. The home screen still carries ads like the rest of Roku's lineup.

I have the Ultra LT, and it's worth it. The sticks are good but the small size and being plugged into the TV reduces their lifespan.
The Roku ultra is the best streaming device I've ever used. It's quick, simple to use, has a remote finding feature, is able to mirror from ...
