Xfinity Flex Review - It's FREE ... but is it WORTH IT?

Is the Xfinity Flex a good cord cutting device? If I was brand new to cord cutting -- and I mean BRAND new -- like, I’d never signed up for Hulu, I’d never even heard of Roku, and I’m getting my first-ever streaming device, then the Xfinity Flex would be … okay? Maybe? It certainly works: it plays high-quality video content and has a functional remote control. But with an extremely limited app selection, as a cord-cutter’s device, I’d put this one way down at the bottom of the list. Was there a lot that made me really dislike the Flex? Not a ton. It’s more about what wasn't there. Because of that lack of available apps, this is not a replacement for your Roku or Fire Stick or Apple TV.

But the Flex is not just a cord-cutting device! The saving grace for the Flex might come into play if you really are all in on Xfinity’s ecosystem. The Flex gives you pretty good control of your Xfinity router from your TV, or if you use smart home and home security features with Xfinity Home, those can be integrated so you can have onscreen video feeds from security cameras, or controls for your thermostat, lighting, and so on. So if that’s you, if you’re neck-deep in Xfinity services, maybe Flex is worth a look. The only problem here is that … I’m not. So I feel like I got to test half of what the Flex is capable of. And the half I got to test didn’t really impress me much. But I’m interested to see what happens with the Flex going forward, if any changes or updates are coming, and I’m going to continue my testing once I get access to the rest of that Xfinity suite of services, so I can tell you what I think of that part of it.
