Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers describe the Roku Premiere as an easy way to start streaming in HD, 4K, and HDR, praising its “incredible picture at exceptional value” and straightforward setup. However, they note that the device is based on an older “Gilbert 4K” platform with an A53 processor, limited HDR10 support, and lacks Ethernet or dual‑band Wi‑Fi, making it fall behind newer Roku models.
What Users Say
Everyday users love the hassle‑free setup, sharp 4K/HDR picture, and free Roku channel content, especially when paired with the mobile app for voice control. Common complaints revolve around the basic remote’s lack of TV power/volume buttons, the device getting warm, occasional Wi‑Fi instability, and feeling dated compared to newer voice‑enabled sticks.
Common Complaints
Remote lacking TV power/volume control, device heating during use, occasional Wi‑Fi drops, no Ethernet port, and an older processor that can feel sluggish compared to newer Roku devices.
What People Are Saying
“Gets warm during use; no on/off switch”
How It Compares
vs. Roku Express 4K+ (2022)
Advantages
Disadvantages
Choose the Express 4K+ if you want a newer processor and portable stick design; stick with the Premiere for the lowest cost basic 4K streaming.
vs. Roku Streaming Stick+ (older)
Advantages
Disadvantages
The Streaming Stick+ is ideal for users who prioritize a compact form factor and a more capable remote, but the Premiere offers better value for basic 4K streaming.
vs. Roku Ultra (premium)
Advantages
Disadvantages
Opt for the Ultra if you need top‑tier performance, Ethernet, and local media playback; otherwise the Premiere provides sufficient 4K streaming at a fraction of the cost.
