Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max streaming device (newest model) with AI-powered Fire TV Search, supports Wi-Fi 6E, free & live TV without cable or satelliteReducing CO2

I recently got the Amazon Fire TV Stick, and I’m honestly impressed with how smooth everything was from the start. It connects directly to the HDMI port behind your TV — no need for any complicated setup or extra cables. The installation process took less than 10 minutes. Just plug it in, connect it to Wi-Fi, sign in to your Amazon account, and you’re good to go.The interface is very user-friendly, and the streaming quality is excellent. I was able to watch Netflix, Prime Video, and even YouTube without any lag. The remote is simple, responsive, and includes voice control, which makes things even easier.If you’re looking to turn any regular TV into a smart one without spending a lot, this is 100% worth it. Definitely a product I’d recommend — especially for people who aren’t super tech-savvy. It’s fast, reliable, and does exactly what it promises.

Excellent product, I loved it! It's easy to install, has faster loading times, better image quality, and a smoother navigation experience. This second generation significantly improves performance compared to previous versions. It also comes with 16 GB of storage, which is much more than other devices.If you want to use it for gaming, this is the best version you can buy due to its performance, image quality, and interface.

I finally upgraded my old fire stick to this 4K Max version, and the difference is really noticeable. The picture quality is just fantastic, apps open fast, and there's no more lag when browsing through menus. It was also a breeze to set up.The voice remote feels solid and responsive, it feels comfortable to hold, and the button layout is simple and intuitive. It's made watching shows way more enjoyable. A great little device!

For various reasons, I decided it was time to at least try a different streaming device, and I figured a FireTV Stick would be the obvious solution.I wanted a responsive device, and to try to ensure this, I figured I might as well go for the top model of the FireTV Stick, so I ordered the 4K Max. This device does not at all disappoint in that regard! It is very snappy while navigating through the UI and the various streaming apps I utilize, so I'm very pleased with that.It comes with a short HDMI extender, which is a great touch because it makes using a "stick" form device such as this not interfere with being in the way of your other HDMI ports.Make sure you use the power adapter it came with (or a USB adapter capable of outputting 2 Amps) because you will run in to problems quickly if it doesn't detect enough amperage. I rather wish it came with a longer cable, as it is not uncommon these days for a TV to be wall mounted, but that's just my own opinion.Setup is very easily done and has nice guidance every step of the way. Even getting the remote to work with my TV was super easy and included in the first time setup guidance. The remote ended up only being able to control my TV's power and volume, which is not a big deal, and I'm sure most individuals who buy this intend to use it as the main source of media to play on their TV.Streaming from various services is an absolute blast and I've had no issues there.I rather wish there were more big name options for aftermarket remotes, it seems like there are for every other major streaming device, but on the other hand I've never personally heard of anyone's FireTV remote having issues.If you have a non-smart TV or an aging smart TV that is getting laggy, the FireTV Stick will serve you well for years to come, go for it!The FireTV Stick 4K Max also has an option for a service that allows you to play games from your PC on your TV, I am intrigued to try the trial of that at some point just to see how it is.***For Plex users:**** This is in no way, as far as I can tell, any fault of the device itself. Certain movies will get stuck and after a while make an error pop up, and certain shows will result in the audio playing but the screen being stuck black when the auto play starts the next episode. I have tried everything, and I mean everything. Everything else has never given me this issue. I have gone so far as factory resetting the FireTV Stick, rebuilding my media libraries, cold starting every device on my network, and gone through every single setting in the Plex app. This has resulted in my second issue with the autoplay being seemingly resolved, but again I do not think it is the device itself, or anything on my network, because I have installed what is essentially a media player that can connect to network shares and everything plays with no issue that way. So, yes, it seems to be an issue with the Plex app itself. Unfortunately, it seems forums are full of Plex users experiencing such things on FireTV devices. Again I cannot fault the device or Amazon for this in any way. Unfortunately though it leaves me trying to decide if I should just continue using the player application on my FireTV Stick, which is connected to the only TV I use, and that is mostly what I use when I'm watching anything. If I do that, I have very little reason to run Plex, but I like its layout and I've put a lot of time and effort over the years in to getting it just the way I like it. I can hope that an upcoming update fixes things, I could buy a Plex Pass and see if this improves things, I could switch to Emby and pay their monthly charge, or I could purchase a different streaming device.....it's a tough spot....

I’ve been using this Fire Stick for a few weeks now, and overall, it’s an awesome upgrade that’s completely replaced my Apple TV. The 6GHz network support is a game-changer—internet connectivity is rock-solid, and streaming is seamless. The setup was a breeze, and it’s been a fantastic addition to my setup. However, there are a couple of downsides worth noting.The biggest con has to be the remote—it feels like it’s going to fall apart every time I use it! The build quality is flimsy, and I really wish Amazon would offer a more solid, aluminum-style remote, something akin to the Apple TV remote for that premium feel and durability. Another issue is the Bluetooth range; since it’s typically placed behind my TV, the connection can be spotty, making it less responsive than I’d like. The interface is also a bit sluggish when multitasking or switching programs, which can be a minor annoyance.That said, I’d still recommend giving this a shot. For those looking to tweak it further, check out developer mode—it opens up some cool customization options. Despite the remote woes, the Fire Stick’s performance and network support make it a winner in my book. Just be prepared to deal with a less-than-stellar remote!

Setting the 4k max up was easy. Hardest part was removing the remote battery cover to install the batteries. The speed and quality of the 4k max stick is outstanding. I replaced my original fire stick , 2nd gen(2016), with this one and there is no comparison. The 4k max is much faster and responsive and it’s my opinion that the picture quality is better. The layout of the content is the same but the App Store has more apps in it. The storage capacity is 16gb compared to the original of 4gb. At $60, there are other streaming devices to consider but I got it from Amazon for $30, so it was a no brainer.
