    Purchased this device for my dad in order to replace and old black and white small screen Kindle he had. This device is so much lighter in weight than his old device and is much nicer and easier to use as well. My dad loves the upgrade.

    I really think it's five star because of the brand and it's a nice size for carrying around places. Not too bulky and has great storage, 16 GB is pretty good for the price. I like that the function buttons are on the side as opposed to on the top of tablet.

    I work in the IT field so i know a good device when i see one, Thankfully this tablets is for kids, the interface is horrible, They should get rid of fire OS the apps are very limited, does not even have youtube kids i had to download the Appstore and install apk files only to make it function decently is durable so that's a plus, the images are clear, and battery is good but i will never recommend this for a adult.if it wasnt for kids i would give it a 1 star if it was for me

    I bought these so my children could access learning apps and games while quarantined and unable to go to school during the Covid19 Pandemic. Work perfectly! Very happy with the purchase. The discount for purchasing two was a blessing!

    Wanted small tablet in the kitchen. Didn’t want to spend $$$$ since it sits next to stove/sink. I can easily read recipes while cooking or watch tv while washing dishes. Setup/personalizing was super easy. Would definitely buy again.

    Purchased this with the show dock which turns this into an Alexa show but also doubles as a tablet. Great functionality and these things are so inexpensive that you don’t feel like you’re caring around $1000 tablet that you’re worried about breaking at any time. Also great for traveling

    Got these for our kids. Great tools for learning and having their own to maintain, care for and use. Battery life and storage are perfect. Kids can maneuver on their own with great ease. They have had them for 2 or 3 years now and still going strong.

    Mainly used for reading, great for that and now this version can now have Hulu its was worth the upgrade as the previous one was becoming a bit slow. daily reader device and battery life is good. the screen size is also good to watch Netflix and Hulu. very budget friendly tablet

    This tablet has a long battery life, i'd say about 9-10 hours for a single charge. Its very easy to set up and surfing the web is pretty smooth, as well as typing on the tab. The only downfall is that it comes pre-installed with some unnecessary apps, but that's about it. overall its pretty good,

    I bought it when it was on sale for 49.99. I dont know if I would pay more than that. Great little starter tablet. Not the fastest or most responsive, but for only 50 bucks, you cant go wrong. Google how to download and install the google play store on it to really make it a useful tablet.

    I am so glad I gave this Kindle Fire a try. The size is great for taking with you and watching movies or Prime shows. It is super easy to download stuff on and browse. I had an ipad mini before this and this fire runs just about as fast as it, you can add chrome and google play store on it but I just use the silk browser it comes with and I like it. If you are looking for a well built inexpensive tablet you wont be sorry buying this one especially if you get it for the 49$ sale price I paid for it. It is very sturdy, easy to use and has a great picture and sound quality.

    I am very happy with the performance of this product. If you enjoy reading it is light weight and easy to work. I get a large selection of movie choices also. I bought this from Best Buy because they have the best price and guarantee.

    Picked up this tablet for my kids to read and play podcasts. It's easy to use and can customize the parental controls easily to manage the tablet. It can get a little slow when multiple apps are being used at the same time, but good value at a good price.

    Replaced an older smaller tablet with this one - mainly for the 16gb increased capacity. Also, the previous tablet was a smaller screen and this size is much better. Glad that previously used downloads could be so easily transferred over.

    User friendly, all of my favorite Amazon apps, was worth it just for the easy access to all of my favorite Amazon titles to read. Fits neatly in my purse, convenient to have at appointments, Reduces the long feel of wait time to nothing.
