Assuming I don't cancel yet... what it the latest version rokus I can get on the used market that do not support auto preview?
That way I can postpone cancelling netflix until whatever model roku it is becomes too sluggish for me. I don't know why this bugs me so much but it does.

Not sure when it became available, but you can turn off AUTOPLAY PREVIEW across all devices now under PLAYBACK SETTINGS when you access your Netflix account via web browser.

Right I'm with you, but that is not what my post is asking. I have a "2xs" I believe it is, and it works fine, responsive enough for me, with no previews. And I enjoy using it even with netflix. So yes it is possible in 2019 to use an older roku model and still enjoy netflix without the preview in this way. Like I said in my original post I'll cancel if for some reason this option becomes unavailable. I recently added a new roku to my place with the crap interface... would rather buy used for my next one. Just a question of which used model I'm buying next.
Anybody with a gen newer than the 2xs chime in and let us know if it does the auto preview?

Fairly certain that was the last one. Or any of the 2nn line like the 2XD or 2HD or 2XS but not the "2". Poor naming convention.
I have a Roku 2xs. It's sluggish as all get out. That's why it's been replaced with the latest model. Besides being sluggish there are many new channels that won't run on it. Example I went to install for someone the Xfinity app on the 2xs. It won't install fo rit's to old. You also have only the primary accout holders login in. No mufti user log ins. so basically I dont' understand why uyou don't want the newest. What's the big deal seeing a preview of the show? Better the old sluggish 2xs. Id only use that one if I couldn't afford a new Roku.
