Amazon - Fire TV Cube 4K Streaming Media Player with Alexa and All-New Alexa Voice Remote - Black

you can control everything hands free which is great but u have to repeat things sometimes which is the same with the echo dot or echo, so not so bad but using the remote with voice things are heard much clearer. Keep it away from speakers, tv speakers or sound bars. There is one thing that keeps happening on my tv sometimes which is when I ask it to change input to tv, game, or any orther input it goes to my tv usb input setup which is weird but could be a isolated brand. My tv is a toshiba. All for the price I paid $60 I can deal with the small issues. 4K streaming is awesome so to have that and combined with the other smart applications in the house lights, thermostat, plugs, garage, etc... it’s worth getting especially if u get it at a cheaper price than $120

I was excited to get the new fire TV cube as it combined two of my favorite devices - Fire TV stick and Echo dot, but was a bit disappointed with the result. Don't get me wrong, the device is a capable 4K streaming device - it is just that it cannot provide you complete voice control on your TV. The reason is two fold - (1) Some controls are just not supported (e.g., powering on or off your cable set top box - it can only control boxes that are already on), and (2) it is just easier, and faster to get certain things done with the remotes. Now however, the one great thing is commanding Alexa across the room to get something started and to see it few moments letter - makes you feel like you're living in the future. If you don't care about your power bills or environment - switch off "auto power off/power save" on your cable set top box and let it always remain on. Fire TV cube can work well then. The other great thing is that the cube knows when to use its own speakers, and when to turn on the TV and use that. But unlike echo dot - you cannot ask it to pair bluetooth speakers or call your family! Also, when you use echo dot to control your fire TV stick, that works quite well too - so really, you could, in theory - buy the latest echo dot 3rd get ($ 49.99) and Echo fire TV stick with new report ($ 49.99) combined for about $ 20 cheaper than this device and have more capability and flexibility overall. The new remote of the new Fire TV stick 4K is the same as this item, so you can still power on your TV with it. What you cannot do is should across the room to control your TV. So, there you have it - you can combine two AMAZING 5***** products but the result can be average, but then again, amazon has brought about many new features using over the air software upgrades. So you never know, this may become more capable in future. A feature, that amazon should consider via software update is the ability to teach IR commands - like you can do with "Pronto Peel" and "Logitech Harmony" devices. That would make it more compatible with additional devices. Another thing that amazon can do is somehow make the device more zippy, faster, more responsive. It is not as quick on its feet as echo dot, and the performance seems at par with a cheaper fire TV stick 4K.

I use this fire tv cube on a daily bases and the 4K streaming media player definitely comes through!!!

I love this Amazon cube! Response time is great! Switches HDMI ports, turns up volume with my voice! Loved it so much bought it for mynparenrs, they claimed they haven't used a TV remote since!

Great for finding all my movies on the various streaming apps! Love watching myself on the small screen!

The Ft cube is definitely technically design for complete home automation. Not only does it work well with my tv, its really good for controlling all of my AI devices. It has enable me to simplify my life

Great help in the house. Controls all Audio/Visual equipments, (No Remote). Amazing 4K definition, faster processor and more space.

My Alexa works 100% with all the extra accessories that I pair with her with commands
