These days, Roku is pretty much a household name and one of my all-time favorites, the Roku Streaming Stick 4K, is now down to just $34 on Amazon. 
And that's not the only one. 
Right now, there are a ton of Roku deals to help you snag this affordable device for even less. 
CNET's experts consider Roku's to be the top streaming devices out there. 
They're simple to set up, the interface is user-friendly, and it's easy to download and navigate to your favorite app. 
Plus, they're relatively affordable and come in different versions, so you can pick how basic or fancy you want your streaming stick to be. 
Roku has several offerings in its steamer lineup to satisfy individual needs and preferences. 
To help you find the right one at a solid price, we've rounded up some of the best deals available.

If you're looking to fully overhaul your home entertainment setup, be sure to check out our roundups of the best TV and soundbar deals. 
Best Roku deals right now 
Roku Ultra: $75 
This streaming device is marginally faster than the previous year's version. 
It also has a backlit remote for better visibility at night. 
The device runs on Wi-Fi 6, so it's pretty speedy and has a USB-C adapter. 
And, at $25 off, it's an even easier buy. 
Roku Streambar SE: $76 
The budget-friendly Streambar SE is a hybrid soundbar that also doubles as a 4K streaming device. 
It lists for much less than the Roku Streambar, and it's about four inches smaller than the full-sized counterpart. 
The device also lacks support for Dolby Atmos audio. 
But for those with limited space or a tight budget, it's an excellent option -- especially with money off. 
Roku Streaming Stick 4K: $34 
With a $50 list price, the Roku Streaming Stick 4K is around $10 more than the Express 4K Plus. 
Along with a stick-like design, Dolby Vision HDR is the main difference between the devices -- and it's why the Streaming Stick 4K lists for more than its sibling. 
Right now, you can snag it for $34 at Amazon. 
Roku Streaming Stick Plus: $25 
Released just this year, this streaming device is one of the latest in Roku's lineup. 
It boasts 4K picture quality with HDR support for vivid color and sharp contrast. 
Plus, the remote has a built-in microphone for easy hands-free browsing. 
It also provides access to over 500 live TV channels for free. 
Best Buy will also give you a 30 days of free access to Fubo and $15 off the device. 
Roku Streaming Stick HD: $16 
If you don't want or need 4K resolution, this 2025 streaming device is one of the most affordable ways to access your favorite apps on any display with an HDMI port. 
It supports HD content, and the voice remote allows you to browse for new shows and movies hands-free. 
Plus, it comes with access to over 500 free live channels.
