Community Reviews
Roku Streaming Stick Plus 2025 is a simple 4K HDR streamer that stands out for easy setup, smooth everyday performance, and a cleaner interface with fewer ads than some rivals. It works well for casual streaming, even on modest Wi Fi, and the current price makes it feel like a solid value. The main drawback is that it lacks MPEG 2 hardware decoding, so over the air TV playback can stutter unless you step up to the Streaming Stick 4K. The voice remote also seems prone to wearing out over time, making this a practical pick if you mainly want straightforward streaming.
casual streamers who don't want to deal with APKs because Roku is a great option that throws fewer ads in your face and is easy to use without installing third-party apps.
households setting up a simple streaming device for a kitchen or spare room because commenters said they bought one (and even added more) and "love it," with setup that was fairly easy and performance that was solid for everyday use.
people who want to stick to stock streaming apps on a wired network because both Roku Stick Plus 2025 and ONN 4K Plus were reported to work smoothly on the same wired setup where older Chromecast/Comcast boxes had stalling or buffering.
buyers who need a streaming stick that can handle modern codecs like AV1 in hardware (including HDR) because commenters noted both this Roku model and the Streaming Stick 4K can decode AV1 in hardware, including HDR.
people using it for free over-the-air TV playback via devices like Tablo because this Roku stick lacks an MPEG-2 hardware decoder and can struggle with MPEG-2 content (not smooth, lower detail/resolution).
buyers who want the most flexible Android-style experience (like installing third-party APKs) because one commenter said Android-based sticks (Fire TV/onn/Google TV) are much better and you can install third-party APKs on them.
people who rely on the voice remote long-term with daily use because one commenter said the voice remotes seem to break about every 1.5 years with daily use.
buyers who are specifically chasing maximum speed/UI responsiveness because one commenter said their 2017 Apple TV is still their go-to and much faster than even a 2025 Roku Stick.

this is why ROKU is so popular

If you need to play MPEG-2 content smoothly, get the Streaming Stick 4K for $5 more which also is capable of Dolby Vision, has a better WiFi reception but it lacks the Bluetooth to connect headphones, but you can do this later with the Roku App.
Both of these player can decode AV1 in hardware, including HDR content.

I reported this as expired earlier as it's showing OOS for me.
With current deals, the Roku cost a little less than ONN. But at about $22 vs $30, not a deciding factor for me.
Both set up fairly easily and perform well. I think either would be great for any casual user - whichever is cheaper or a preferred brand, there isn't a bad option.
Both work fine with a generic USB network/power adapter I've got.
I had a grudge with Roku over bricking that early device, but have not heard that they've made any kind of habit of that. Their remote does have an initial glitch with the volume up/down not working with my TV, but I have not followed up to see if that can be manually configured better.
The old chromecasts were stalling and buffering on more and more services, even on wired network connections. The Roku and ONN both work smoothly on the same. The Roku even on a so-so wifi connection with about 50Mbps.
