  • The Roku Express HD was one of the hottest products this past Prime Day, and now it’s back on sale.
  • For just $24 you get access to more than 500,000 movies and shows thanks to all the popular streaming services supported by Roku.
  • This deal isn’t likely to last very long, so you’ll need to hurry if you want to take advantage.

There were a few products that were particularly popular during Amazon’s big Prime Day 2020 blowout sale last week, and the Roku Express HD was definitely near the top of the list. As a matter of fact, we still can’t believe that something so great can be had at such a ridiculously low price. Now, just one week later, this best-selling streaming media player is already back on sale with a deep discount — but there’s no way this deal is going to last very long.

With the holidays around the corner, the Roku Express HD is the perfect gift for anyone on your list. Even if you already have a smart TV that supports apps, there’s no way that proprietary smart TV platforms will ever support as many apps as the big streamers like Roku and Fire TV. The only possible reason not to buy the Express HD is the fact that this entry-level streaming device doesn’t support 4K resolution or HDR. Don’t worry though, because it won’t cost you much more to upgrade to a model that does — just grab the Roku Premiere instead for $39 or the Roku Streaming Stick+ for $48.95 instead of 60!

You’ll be able to watch so many of your favorite shows and movies from wherever your device is plugged in. Plus, you can use your phone to control them, as the remote control is not necessary. From Hulu to Netflix to Prime Video, they are all options you can use with your Roku device. You can even download high-end fitness apps like Peloton to do workouts from home.
