Binge watch all day with the $39 Roku Streaming Stick

The Roku Streaming Stick media streaming device is down to $39 on Amazon, and it normally sells for around $49. We used to see these devices drop in price more often, but it has been months since the last deal.

If you want 4K content, Roku's 4K Streaming Stick Plus is also on sale today for $49. That's 18% off its street price and a match for the best deal we've seen in the last few months as well.

These are Roku's newest streaming devices, a refresh of previous models. Roku claims the processor in the new stick is 50% faster. The remote is also updated with voice control and a few extra buttons, including power and volume control. Roku supports hundreds of streaming apps, including all your favorites like Netflix and HBO.

It comes with two AAA batteries, but you might consider adding some rechargeable batteries so you can just power them back up and keep on streaming when they get low.

Roku did announce new models that are similarly priced, but these Streaming Stick devices come with a more advanced remote that includes voice control. If you want the new model with a voice remote, you'd need to buy the Walmart-exclusive Roku Premiere Plus, which isn't out yet.
