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

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.

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.

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!

OK, have had for a few months now. Biggest problem is that it's tricky to get the thing to work without pulling the power cord and re-inserting it to get my Vizio TV to "see" it on startup. When I first got it, when I turned the TV on, it would not find the device a lot. This happened about 50% of the time starting the TV. After research and playing around, the following works best for me, but is not a guarantee that the TV will see it EVERY time. 1. I always use the Vizio remote to power up and power down the TV, NOT the firestick remote from the firestick input. This means when you turn the TV OFF, turn it off AFTER hitting the HOME button on the Vizio remote, and then OFF from there. 2. On occasion, RESTART the firestick using the settings on the firestick remote. 3. Sometimes I still have to remove the power cord from the firestick, wait 30 seconds, and then re-plug the power cord to get the TV to "see" it again. For this, I bought a 3 foot HDMI dongle to make access to the firestick easier. Recommended especially if it's difficult to get behind your TV. The above steps greatly reduced the frequency with which my TV would fail to see the firestick input. That all being said, the Firestick Max performance is outstanding. No more lag and stutter that I used to get watching live sports and other broadcasts using the Vizio TV's native input. It was horrible watch NFL games before installing the stick. Works well, with some caveats.

This model is pretty much like the others except for having 4K and extra storage capacity. Also gaming but I’m not into that so I can’t comment. Seems to work well and as advertised. Costs a little bit more but seems to be worth it.

The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is easy to install. The software is straight forward and offers all the bells and whistles you can think of. Just add a streaming service and your set. You can set the order of the apps in a manner that makes it easy to select without having to hunt for the app you want. The remote offers buttons so you can immediately go to an app such as Prime Video, Netflix, Disney. Of course you still have to have a subscription. I would buy this product again.

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....
