Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max with USB Power Cable (eliminates the need for AC adapter)

I purchase this new Amazon fire stick to replace an old tech firestick that needed update. It was so easy to set up with the available WiFi. My TV is not a smart TV, so this new firestick resolves so many issues, turned my television into a smart TV. Easy to install. Connected easily, downloaded app’s quickly, no buffering of programs or lag. No need for battery as the connection to Tv is included. I take it with me as we travel, plug it into the TV in the RV , as long as you have WiFi available at any park you stay while traveling, and you’re set to go.

Easy to set up. No buffering but a 1 second freeze from time to time. I just don't understand why it says 16gb but it shows 12 something gb, that's with what comes already installed. Voice control works. Download speed good. Appears reliable so far.

The FireStick Max is the top model as of writing this. It has WIFI 6E connectivity for the fastest networks, it has very fast response and lots of future upgradability. You can use this on a non-smart TV or in my case, on two older smart Samsung TV's that are slow and do not have the newest apps. It works perfect and no lag time. Has voice control, if you want to use it. As long as your internet and modem/gateway are fast enough on the connection speed, this unit is fantastic.

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.

This newest Fire TV Stick 4K Max is noticeably faster than the older model, and the performance boost is clear right from setup. Apps load quicker, streaming is smoother, and the overall navigation feels more responsive. The addition of Wi-Fi 6E support is great for keeping a stable connection, especially when streaming 4K content, and the AI-powered Fire TV Search makes finding shows and apps easier than before.One of the things I really like about Fire TV devices is how much free and live TV content is available without a cable or satellite subscription. It’s a convenient way to cut costs while still having plenty to watch.That said, like the older versions, these devices do eventually wear out over time. They’ll start slowing down after a few years of heavy use, but for the price, the performance and features you get make it well worth it.Overall, if you’re looking for a reliable streaming stick with fast performance, strong connectivity, and lots of content options, this updated Fire TV Stick 4K Max is an excellent choice.

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....

This fire truck works amazing. Haven’t had any problems with it and had it for quite a while now. I love that there is a remote control that you can put on your phone and use it in case you ever lose the remote in your pile of clothes like I do once in a while. The streaming capacity is amazing and works very well with my new TV. All the buttons work it’s a Sleep design as far as the remote goes and there’s not too many buttons on it that you have no idea what to push.Speed works great shipper Shipped fast and I would buy it again.
