Top features
The Roku Streaming Stick+ (2017, renewed/refurbished unit) delivers 4K and HDR streaming in a compact stick form factor with Roku OS — a lightweight, open platform known for broad app compatibility. Features include advanced wireless receiver (4x range improvement over prior models), built-in Wi-Fi, and a voice-capable remote with TV power/volume controls. The processor and RAM are modest by current standards, but the Stick+ remains capable for general streaming. This is a renewed/refurbished sale at ~$34, positioning it as an ultra-budget entry point into 4K streaming — ideal for cord-cutters on a tight budget or secondary TV setup. Roku's home screen includes light promotional content but is far less ad-heavy than Fire TV. The main trade-off: older hardware means slower app launches and occasional UI lag compared to current-generation sticks, and the refurbished condition adds uncertainty around longevity.
