Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max streaming device, with AI-powered Fire TV Search, supports Wi-Fi 6E, free & live TV without cable or satellite

I recently purchased the new 4K Fire Sticks, and they have definitely been worth the investment, especially since I was able to get them on sale. The setup process was quick and straightforward, and they connected to Wi-Fi without any issues. The performance has been excellent so far. Apps load quickly, streaming is smooth, and the 4K picture quality looks sharp and vibrant. I’ve noticed a big improvement in speed compared to older versions, navigation feels faster and there’s little to no buffering. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the quality and performance. If you’re considering upgrading or adding another streaming device to your home, this is a solid choice for the price.

So easy to use. No issues migrating accounts to Fire TV Stick. It was so easy. Literally took me all of 8 mns to set up my Prime Video, YouTube, Disney, Netflix accounts and as I type, I am watching the freebie channel Pluto on my Fire TV stick. "Space 1999" straight from 1977. How's that for some fun nostalgia. Hard to believe we ever wore such embarrassing clothes! Anyway, back to the Fire TV Stick. It comes with a remote. The stick itself has an HDMI plug in for your monitor or tv and the other end is usb c - power block. They give you an extender for the HDMI in case you need some extra length to plug and that really helped me. But you will need an electric outlet close enough to your monitor or tv in order to be able to plug in the power block into your electric outlet and also the HDMI input into your monitor or tv source. They also provide 2 batteries for the remote. Right out of the box you'll be up and going. I love the ambient feature. I hope they add some cityscapes and more ambient landscapes. One can even add their own pictures if they like. It's so relaxing to be listening to Audible and have the ambient landscape on. I also love the Alexa support. I don't use "Alexa" as my wake word. I use "Echo," but my Fire TV Stick remote had no problem responding to my "Echo" wake word - no training necessary. Bada Boom, bada bing. You know that moment of dread you have when you have to set up any machine...well, you needn't put yourself through the anxiety. Fire TV Stick does the ugly work for you. The streaming quality is awesome. And considering I've watched at least four different movies since I got it yesterday and haven't paid a dime for those movies...I'm gonna say the Fire TV Stick has been a great value and it is just now coming up on 24 hours that I received it. 4 movies in and delivery was same day prompt! I waited so long to get one. Why I waited, I'll never know. I love my Fire TV Stick. Oh, and did I mention you can take your stick with you? Might not work in all countries. But as a dogsitter I'll just bring my stick to my client's house and don't have to worry about what I want to watch regardless of my client's programming. They don't have to pay for any movies I might watch. Awesome.

*Latest model* Absolutely amazing piece of technology. My old smart TV didnt have YT TV and didnt wanna use my PS5 all day for streams. This answered and works flawlessly.faster than my TV, picture looks better and no lag in the system. Controls my TV power and volume and i didnt even have to program anything?? 🤪 crazy. Would purchase again and would reccomend!

I bought a 32"Toshiba Fire TV almost five years ago for my home gym and noticed that apps were loading slower on that TV than they were on my other TVs that had fire sticks and a fire cube. I originally thought that, since the Fire TV had the Fire software built in, there was no way to improve the speed. Then I did some research and found that the TV was compatible with an external Fire stick. I chose to buy this Fire TV Stick 4K Max for its mid-level price point and have not been disappointed with the increased performance vs the TV's Fire software. Setup was easy, the new remote controlled everything and the battery life was improved over the old remote and it now has voice command. I can't say the sound quality of the TV changed much if any, but I wasn't expecting it to. Overall, I'm very happy with the performance of this Fire stick and am especially happy that I didn't have to buy a new TV.

Pros Easy to set up and use. Fast and familiar interface. Animated screensavers are vibrant, beautiful, and visually appealing, especially the underwater scenes. Cons HDMI handshake issues with an approximately eight year old Samsung smart TV and AV receiver. After turning the TV off and back on, the Fire TV Stick would sometimes not appear. Restoring the signal often required unplugging and reconnecting the device. Bottom line Works well in compatible setups and offers good value. Animated screensavers are a strong feature. In the same setup, switching to the Fire TV Cube resolved the HDMI handshake issues completely.
