Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max (newest model), streaming device, with AI-powered Fire TV Search, supports Wi-Fi 6E, free & live TV without cable or satellite, find shows faster with Alexa+

This is our third Fire Stick, and this one is for my office as we are dropping cable tv. We connected it easily, and it works as described. It is compatible with my LG television and the volume and picture is ideal. I am happy.

I am an older woman and it took less than 15 minutes to hook up. Remote and sound bar paired without doing anything. I could already speak with Alexa from the remote. Nice clear pictures and sound. It updated my older tv to run better and faster. It did take some time to find and set up my apps, then reopen and log in to each. Now everything in in one place when I turn the tv on. Love it!! Update- I ordered a second one for my son on 6-24 didn't receive until 7-16!

Very nice fire stick. If you’re thinking of getting a fire stick, I recommend you just go ahead and buy this one. I have all three versions in different places in my house. I have the lite, for example, in my garage. This one is noticeably quicker and snappier. Also ambiance mode is nice. It’s also nice to have the smart home features right there. I can’t attest to the remote, though, since I use the better remote that the sell. EDIT: I'm so upset with this thing. It's been just under a year since we bought it (writing this August 2026, purchased September 2025). A week ago I was still praising this fire stick. Now out of nowhere and for seemingly no reason whatsoever, it has started crapping out on me. It randomly freezes up on me and won't do anything, forcing me to unplug the device and wait, before plugging it back in and trying again, only for it to freeze up again a few minutes later. The only thing I can find online that might help is to clear all the caches for the app that I use, which I've done, and it still keeps doing it. You're suppose to be able to hold the center button and the play button to force a restart, but even that doesn't work MOST of the time and the two times it DID work, it got stuck on the "Your Fire TV is turning off" message, and never actually did so. I have over half the storage space left, partially because I didn't have a ton of apps to begin with, and partially because I uninstalled a few hoping to resolve this issue. I checked for software updates but its up to date, so that's not it either.

This new model of the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is an amazing streaming device! It is incredibly fast, smooth, and fun to use. It has completely become my primary device for all my streaming needs. I rely on it heavily every day to watch various platforms like Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Shahid, and many others. The performance is top-notch, and the streaming quality is flawless. Easily a 5-star product!

Setup was pretty straightforward however the cable betweem the Power Module and the device was a bit short. Luckely I had a longer one leftover from the defunct unit we just replaced. The remote paired up with the Streaming unit without any issues. But the eazy peazy install did not happen as it kept asking for my Prime Pin Number. Fortunately I remembered the one I had established before (you may not have this problem if you have not already established a Pin). I was having issues entering the Pin so I ask Alexa for assistance. She tried however nothing She suggested was working. It was asking for a Pin every time I tried to do anything in the Settings, After a number of power resets and a few bad words I was able to go in and turn off the Parental Guidance. Now the unit allowed me to make changes and add our Sound Bar function to the Remote. This unit is definitely faster than the old unit and operates in a similar fashon the the old unit. I did have a problem with some of the Amazon Apps that I did not need. It seems that you cannot remove them from the Task Bar however I was able to rearrange them so that the ones I use, all the time, were up at the head of the line. I am still working to install some of my missing apps and I have not been able to get the Bing Browser to work properly however I am sure I will make it happen eventually. I am convinced that this is a good replacement for our failed Fire Stick, however there are always issues that come up in these Installs and unfortunately Alexa is not totally on top of things. I hope this makes things easier for someone else.

Bought this to replace my older stick which worked good but was slower , new stick is much more responsive but has issues . My stick freezes constantly requiring a power cycle to reset it , some days are ok but some days it’s useless constantly locking and freezing , many times it will not wake up from sleep with the select button requiring a power cycle , frustrating , doesn’t matter the content or app being used , tried all the “fixes” from the Amazon forums to no avail . Too late to return it , wish I had my old stick back that worked flawlessly for years . Bought a second one for my family room but it probably will go back as I do not want a repeat failure . After conversing with customer service they decide to replace the unit and the new one works much better , updated review , thanks CSservice

This major upgrade is worth every penny. Extremely easy to set up. Delivers great screen resolution and reliability.

3rd and hopefully final update: two says after technical support help the issues serm to be cleared and was most likely due to a ln issue with one or more updates. Firestick itself back to five stars but updates, which had to be installed one at a time by technical support, need to be addressed. 2nd update for 07/2026: Tried to do a factory reset and system froze. Called Amazon customer service. Appthe return window ended months ago. Talked to two very nice and helpful representatives, one in the technical side. We were anle to do a factory reset after and it may or may not have worked. Hulu app in home screen looks different and according to the representative there was a system update a week ago when all this occurred. Too soo to tell but as I have an upgraded Hulu icon and a Spanish Amazon icon (not neede) that were not there previously,it could be the update around 06/26 was corrupted or incomplete. Hopefully it worked but if not I may need a new firestick. In any event I have to give kudos for the help I received today. Updated 07/2026: Changed from five stars to two stars hoping that I have a bad device and a new one will help get it back to five stars again. The firestick had glitches once in a while from day one where it would loose live tv favorites or I would see "no input found" on the screen but it would eventually be recognized by the tv. The last week however was worse than ever. I had to restart each day, I tried different ports, tried connecting through ethernet and wifi. Sometimes it would connect,sometimes not. Sometimes rebooting the wifi would help. I have no issues with other devices. Now it is freezing when I put on a streaming service. When it works it works well and it is up to date. I even tried with the HDMI extender to no avail. According to the Amazon app I have until the end of the year to return it but when I try it doesn't give the option. I will have to call when I can to try to get a replacement. End of 07/2026 update. I purchased the firestick 4k max to upgrade a 2022 4k Fire tv mainly because I wasn't sure how much longer the system support would be and to upscale content. With regards to upscale;and I'm not sure if I can mention names but here you go: I watched season 1 of American Gods" on Prime Video and it looked great. To watch season 2 & 3, I had to watch through Tubi, which does not stream in 4K or 1080. At first it didn't seem like there was much upscaling but afyer a few minutes (not sure how many) it improved dramatically (and I like what both streamers have to offer). The only downside, and of course the internet had many solutions, some of which did nothing. My soundbar with dolby dts-x, while perfectly compatible with my fire tv was having audio drop out issues with the firestick. The problem appears as resolved by going to the fire tv audio settings and change it to "pass through" while leaving the firestick on "best available". All in all, I'm pleased with the firestick and purchasing on sale during the black Friday sales was definitely a plus.
