Is it worth buying a premium box like the Roku Ultra over a stick?
Reviewer consensus
Reviewers say it depends on use. Verified Best Buy buyers and r/Roku regulars describe the Roku Ultra as noticeably faster with a better rechargeable backlit remote, lost-remote finder, Wi-Fi 6 and wired-Ethernet reliability. For most people a 4K stick is enough, but heavy daily streamers and those with spotty Wi-Fi tend to favor the box.
