Excellent to have with you when traveling
I bought the Roku Streaming Stick+ after having used the Roku Ultra in my living room and a TCL Roku TV in my bedroom. I recently used the Roku Stick+ for travel use--and it worked out great. I was a die hard user of FireTV (and the Fire Stick) until the whole Google fiasco.
The streaming services I use are Netflix, Hulu, Amazon PrimeVideo, and YoutubeTV. This mix of services swayed me towards Roku. You can't play YouTubeTV on FireTV and you can't play Amazon PrimeVideo on Chromecast...so that leaves us with Roku.
Roku has been in this business for a while, and I quite like the interface they've got going on. It's fairly easy to use and that fact that it plays all of the streaming services that I desire is a major plus.
5 stars from me. I had no connectivity issues in the hotel I was staying in, other than having to login every 24 hours (Hilton WiFi). I found the Stick+ to have good WiFi reception and the overall responsiveness was quite quick--very similar to the Roku Ultra.
