The Roku is a wonderful new gadget for those who love to watch Netflix, Hulu, listen to Pandora, or any other multitude of channels available on the Roku. This product review will show how handy a Roku is.

The Roku

The Roku plugs into an outlet in the wall and into your Television with an HDMI cable. There is a second option cable available; however, expect less quality in your picture. There is a need for WIFI for this product due to it being wireless. Should you have WIFI and all the necessary components, you will be able to watch your favorite TV shows any time on your Television instead of your laptop or computer. The Roku also comes with headphones so that you are able to listen to your favorite television show without disturbing others in the room who may be trying to sleep.

Pros

·        Easy to use
·        Easy access to your favorite shows
·        Inexpensive

Cons

·        Another Device Needed
·        Subscription needed for Hulu, Netflix, etc. (Additional Cost)


I love my Roku. It gives me the freedom to do my work on my laptop and watch my TV shows at the same time. It’s really nice to make your room not be as quiet and to help me focus while I’m trying to do my work. Overall, this product is something I highly recommend, especially for those who enjoy watching Hulu, Netflix, or listening to Pandora.
