I bought this because the built in WebOS Smart TV function on my LG TV has very few apps, and it's pretty laggy. I tried to live with it for a while, but I just got sick of it. We are Sling customers and the Sling app on LG is horribly buggy with the cloud DVR function. One day I'd just finally had enough so I bought this Roku stick on a whim. I hesitated a little because of the middling reviews on the Streaming Stick + but I finally just said "oh what the heck" and pressed the buy button.
Out of the box did have some initial problems with pairing the remote, it didn't want to join the Roku stick. Rebooting the stick cured it, the remote immediately joined upon reboot. Once it was paired everything was golden. The stick immediately upgraded the firmware upon connecting to WiFi, I would personally recommend not skipping this step considering some of the bugs that people have reported that could have been fixed already with a later firmware.
The response in the menus is very fast compared to some of my older Roku sticks on my other TVs. All the apps work as expected/normal. The picture quality is an improvement over the built in LG smart TV function, we actually get HDR content on YouTube now, for example.
The remote does struggle to turn the TV on at times, I have to hold it down for a few seconds sometimes, or make a 2nd attempt. I guess this is due to a weak IR function, maybe. It always works eventually though and I'm getting more used to this quirk so I'm able to get it to turn on faster now that I know what to expect. I make sure to hold down the power button and point it right at the TV's IR receiver and it comes on.
The device has a strong 5G 802.11AC WiFi connection, shows connection rate of 172Mbit in my network management software. This rate should be strong enough to stream anything out there at max quality. I have 300Mbit AT&T Fiber internet connection. I use ceiling mounted business class access points in my house, Ubitquiti AP-AC-Pro(s). I suspect that people who have problems with the connection, probably have crappy WiFi routers, but they don't know any better. Get something decent if this describes you. If you don't want to get into the business class gear get an Orbi or Google WiFi, or one of the other whole-home WiFi setups.
I tried the voice recognition, it took a couple of tries to understand me correctly but then I was able to get the correct phrase on the screen. I don't know how often I would use this feature but I'll try it again another time when I'm looking for content. None of my other Roku devices have it so I will need to get used to using it.
Overall I would recommend this device. I'm happy that you can get 4K HDR in stick form, I did not want to purchase one of the devices that would not be completely hidden from view like the Ultra or Premiere. My wife has a no-cord edict that I have to comply with, the TV is mounted in native stone above the fireplace in the living room.
I did pick up the extended warranty because of it being a refresh/refurb/return/whatever. I don't remember what that cost but it didn't seem very expensive. I have some other Roku sticks that are more than 5 years old so I do tend to keep them for a while.

Reconditioned materials.
I am an avid roku user. I have 1 1st gen model,2 - 2nd gen, 1 - 4th generation and 3 stream stick models, 1 sound bar roku, and give them as gifts all the time. So, with that said this will be my first "reconditioned" product. Now, I want to be clear; I thought I was buying a brand new model so I was slightly confused about what I had received. However, I will use this "reconditioned" one as my travel Roku for trips and holidays as most hotels, motels, resorts and vacation rentals have at least a hdmi compatible model TV. After some time I will leave a review in regards to the capabilities and performances of this "RECONDITIONED" Roku.
