Whether you need to catch a hockey game or there's a new season of your favorite show, getting cozy on the couch is less than satisfying if your streaming device doesn't work well. Upgrade now with deals on some of our favorite streaming devices for 2023 from Roku, including the Roku Express 4K Plus, our top overall pick. Meanwhile, the Roku Streambar is a great streamer-soundbar combination that's perfect for smaller TVs -- and it's $30 off right now.

If you want a device for a wired Ethernet connection or must have Dolby Vision, check out the flagship Roku Ultra. And if you're willing to sacrifice a few features, you can pick up the Roku Ultra LT at Walmart for less than the regular Ultra. Roku discounts are rare, but you can save a few dollars if you act fast.

Best Roku deals right now

Sarah Tew/CNET

Amazon is offering $11 off this excellent Roku streamer, saving you 27% on the usual price. We like the Roku operating system because it has the most streaming app options, the simplest interface of any streaming platform and the best search. It's also content-agnostic -- it doesn't push any streaming service provider, such as Amazon Prime Video or Apple TV, over another. 

The Express 4K Plus is one of the cheapest streaming TV options with 4K HDR. (Even if your current TV doesn't support this format, your next one probably will.) Thanks to an AirPlay update, this Roku device is also one of the least expensive ways to connect your iPhone or other Apple device to your TV. Read our Roku Express 4K Plus review. This device is also $10 off at Roku. 

Sarah Tew/CNET

The Roku Streaming Stick 4K is $19 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. You can get $11 off at Amazon; at Walmart and Roku, you'll save $10 off the regular price. The Roku offer expires Dec. 30. 

The Roku Express is compact, streams only in HD and comes with an HDMI cable. It lacks a power brick to plug it in, so you'll either have to provide your own or plug the Express into the USB port in your TV. It also doesn't come with a smart remote, so you won't be able to control your TV's power, volume and inputs with this remote. You'll need both your original TV remote and a smart speaker or other receiver if you want to use voice controls. It's a pretty big hassle, so it might make more sense to spend the extra bucks for the Roku Streaming Stick 4K. 

A combination soundbar and 4K HDR streamer, the Roku Streambar is an excellent way to "smartify" a bedroom TV with improved sound and streaming. This compact speaker will outperform the sound of just about any television, and it's especially good at elevating hard-to-understand dialogue. We've seen it dip as low as $80 during major shopping events, but right now, you can get $30 off at Walmart and Roku.

Walmart

Walmart's exclusive version of the Roku Ultra is almost identical to the main Ultra and features a similar design, an Ethernet port and support for 4K HDR with Dolby Vision. It comes with a remote that has a headphone jack for private listening. 

As for the differences between the Ultra and the Ultra LT? With this cheaper option, you'll be giving up Dolby Atmos support, a USB port, personal shortcut keys on the remote and the (very useful) remote finder feature. At its regular price of $80, it's $20 less than the regular Roku Ultra.

Sarah Tew/CNET

The Roku Ultra, the company's flagship streamer, offers more conveniences than some of Roku's other models. It features Dolby Vision video, faster response, improved Wi-Fi and a wired Ethernet port -- particularly welcome if your home Wi-Fi is overloaded. The 2022 model is almost identical to the previous versions, but it now comes bundled with the excellent Voice Remote Pro. The Ultra is easy to set up and might be worth the upgrade for anyone interested in a fast streaming device with Dolby Vision and a wired Ethernet port. It's just a few dollars off right now but can occasionally be found for as much as $20 off.

Roku

Unfortunately, there aren't any massive discounts on the Streambar Pro at the moment, but we do occasionally see its price dip by $25 to $30. This more-advanced Roku soundbar has larger 2.5-inch drivers for a richer sound profile, and it adds some extra features including virtual surround sound support, personal shortcut buttons and a lost-remote finder via the Roku app.

Sarah Tew/CNET

The Roku Streaming Stick 4K Plus packages the same Roku Streaming Stick 4K listed above with the new, usually separate, Roku Voice Remote Pro. The Voice Remote Pro, which typically goes for $30, largely keeps the look and feel of the company's other remotes, but comes with a midfield mic for voice control, a headphone jack for private listening and a rechargeable battery. Perhaps the best thing about the new remote is that you can simply say, "Hey, Roku, find my remote," to make the clicker beep from wherever it is -- a game-changer for those who are constantly scouring the couch cushions. Roku remotes can chew through batteries quickly, so using rechargeable ones means you no longer need to keep a stash of AAs on hand. 

Roku also has a remote finder that works with any Roku remote with a built-in speaker, but that type of remote is not included with the original Streaming Stick 4K. If you're the type of person who tends to lose TV remotes, the upgrade to the Roku Streaming Stick 4K Plus -- and the Voice Remote Pro that comes with it -- might be worthwhile. 

The Streaming Stick 4K Plus is currently on sale at Walmart for a few dollars off, but it appears to be unavailable at Roku.
