People complaining about ads? Android TV has that junk now, too, unfortunately.
Community Reviews
Roku Ultra 4K is best as a simple, familiar streaming box with a clean interface, strong app support, and useful extras like multiview for Fubo and a backlit USB-C remote. It also stays responsive better than many smart TV apps, and the remote battery level can be checked in settings or by voice command. The main complaints are slower hardware than competing Onn boxes, occasional Wi-Fi or sound dropouts, and a 100 Mbps Ethernet port that can make full 4K loads feel sluggish. It is a solid fit if you want Roku's easy interface more than raw speed.
Cord-cutters who want a dead-simple streaming box, because the interface is easy to use and the device stays responsive over time.
People replacing a smart TV's sluggish apps, because the device can keep the streaming interface from becoming slow and unresponsive.
Viewers who want a backlit, USB-C charging remote, because the included remote has both features.
Sports fans using Fubo, because it supports multiview for watching multiple games at once.
People who need rock-solid Wi-Fi in a room near the router, because the device can disconnect repeatedly and may be limited on wireless throughput.
Shoppers who want a snappy interface without ads or clutter, because the home screen includes promos and the hardware can feel slow.
Heavy streamers who expect fast 4K loading on a wired gigabit connection, because the network port is limited to 100 megabits per second.
People who rely on uninterrupted audio, because the sound can cut out and require a restart every couple of days.

I have this. The Walmart Onn Pro boxes are light years faster. it also constantly disconnect from wifi even though it roughly 30' from the router. Roku has a very user friendly UI, but beyond that I can no longer recommend them as there's far better options for less money.
Strange. I've had mine for a few years and haven't had a problem. Is this an issue with newer models?
On a side note, any guesses if this will be cheaper during upcoming Prime days?
Are you sure you didn't mean "I have a completely different device with different hardware and software"? Because that wouldn't be very helpful.
1) Google TV allows easy sideloading of apps: smarttube, 1pix media, and many more
2) Can customize home screen so there are NO ads or clutter (I use the projectivy launcher)
3) Response time and app loading time seems snappier (esp vs older Roku sticks!)
4) I can use BT earbuds vs wired plugged into the remote
There are many more reasons, but my love for and loyalty towards Roku is fading.

I have an older Samsung 4k TV (was top-of-the-line at the time) that got to be so annoying with the apps I replace the "smart" part with the Roku. I wish TV manufacturers would just make monitors with good speakers and let the consumer choose the "smart" part for themselves.

But God only know what you're losing in terms of privacy when you use anything Google based.
