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+

I’ve been really happy with my Fire Stick. It was quick to set up, and the interface is easy to navigate, even if you’re not very tech-savvy. I love having all of my streaming apps in one place, and the picture quality is great with very little buffering when connected to a good Wi-Fi signal. The voice remote is one of my favorite features because it makes searching for movies and shows much faster than typing everything out. The Fire Stick also receives regular updates and offers a wide variety of free and paid entertainment options. The only downside is that the home screen can feel a little cluttered with recommendations and ads, but it doesn’t take away from the overall experience. Overall, I’d definitely recommend the Fire Stick to anyone looking for an affordable and reliable streaming device. It offers excellent value for the price and has made watching TV much more convenient.

I bought the Fire TV Stick 4K Max to replace my slow, older streaming device, and the difference is clear. Setup took about 10 minutes, apps open quickly, and 4K video looks sharp with almost no lag. The Wi-Fi 6 support helps a lot, and the voice remote makes finding shows easy. The home screen has quite a few ads, and it's a bit pricier than the basic model, but the speed makes it worth it. Great value overall, 4.5 out of 5 stars.

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.

I'm no IT gal but, my new fire stick is great! Super easy to set up and install. I had an earlier version that worked well but my new stick is better. It enhanced my picture so much I'm shocked. It's like I up graded my tv. The picture is brighter and so crisp. My husband immediately bought one for his big TV he was going to replace. Yeah, it made his picture just as great as mine. Both televisions are faster and I'm able to increase my library size without affecting anything negatively. The remote is a little bigger and button placement changed a little. I like the new size. Simple to get used to. It is actually faster when I'm surfing and in general. Great purchase.

I jammed this 4K Max dongle into the back of my television because waiting four seconds for an app tile to load on my TV’s built-in "smart" operating system was slowly draining my will to live. Stock smart TV processors run on what feels like hamster wheels and bad intentions, turning a quick search for a movie into an agonizing test of patience. Plugging this thing in felt like strapping a twin-turbo supercharger to an old lawnmower. The interface snaps between menus instantly with zero stutter, and pulling up massive 4K HDR streams over Wi-Fi 6E happens so fast it feels like you're loading media off a local hard drive. The AI search actually understands vague, mumbled voice prompts instead of serving up random garbage, and doubling the internal storage finally stops that infuriating "Storage Space Critically Low" popup every time an app updates. The remote even has dedicated volume and TV power buttons, which meant I could finally chuck three redundant plastic clickers into the junk drawer forever. Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars. Scorching menu speeds, zero stream buffering, and officially euthanizes the sluggish processor lurking inside your smart TV.

My old unit was 5 years old and starting to act weird, so I replace it with an updated version and it works fine. But it's like getting a new phone. Things aren't in the same place that you're used to. So, it's like there's a learning curve. Other than that it's fine. Easy to set up

I bought this Amazon fire TV stick 4K Max (newest model) and cannot believe the difference this new fire stick made to our TV watching experience. Everything is better you can put twice as many apps on it because it has double the storage than older models. The colors on the TV are more vivid and bright. You can control the TV power and volume with this remote so no extra remote is needed. The benefits are too numerous to list here. You will have to check out this fire stick and you won’t believe the endless upgrades this new one has. I highly recommend that you upgrade immediately If you have an older fire stick. It makes all the difference in the world. I bought two more for my kids. It is on sale right now, I got it for half price, the same price that the older models are. You won’t be disappointed. You need this.

If i knew the game changer this thing was, id have bought it as soon as it came out. I mean, the image is way sharper. It just processes so much better. And the remote, while it took me a few days for the damn programable buttons to stay programmed, its pretty swert. And i cant tell you how many times i lose my remote in my bed or around the room. I forget sometimes and start searching for it, and upon starting to get frustrared, id remember i can just ask alexa to find my remote and it starts beeping and to be honest, id be where i clearly looked too, so i might need glasses. On the meantime alexa saves the day, and i love bein able to see what im pressing instead of having to angle the remote so i can get light on the buttons. Now, we are talking more technology that ive ever been used to or could have asked for, so im currently dealing with an issue that wasnt an issue before. It suddently started and i havent been able to figure it out. When i turn my tv off with the max remote, both my fire tv and stick will shut off, first the tv and the still shortly after. I know cause you can still hear whatever waz playin on my echo speakers and then curs off, meanin its off. Well, now i cant get the stick to turn off, or ill get the stivk but not the tv. Its a nighmare. Im currently tellin alexa to turn the tv off, but that only shuts the stick, i used the original tv remote to just click it off. Imma get gemini to help me with that soon. But well worth it regarthless of my current situationship with the off dilema.
