Customer Ratings & Reviews

Got the fire stick and the fire tv. I like that I can plug the tv straight to the router with Ethernet cable. Seems to load pages faster and streams better with sling tv. Both are great items.

The main deciding factor as to why I got this device as opposed to the stick was that I gave me the option to either use WiFi or to use an ethernet cord. So far I can say I've been happy, the apps are vast enough to find what i want in regards to entertainment and the navigation isn't to complicated.

This product has a better processor with 2gb of ram, plus the ports RJ 45, SD Card, and USB, the difference is big for the difference of the price. It's logically faster than the firestick

Great alternative to cable. I have purchased these for several of my family members. I have a 70 inch 4K tv and the picture is clear. The device is user friendly and can get many apps.

I'm an Amazon Prime & Netflix costumer and I just love this thing. I no longer have Comcast TV only antenna and two Fire TV's. Absolutely love it. It's fast as long as my internet is good.

I was worried at first but it works great and only con is that u have to unplug it from the tv it does get super hot

I have Amazon Prime and this makes it so easy to watch movies or tv shows. HULU, Netflix and many other ways to watch what you want when you want to watch it. I am now ready to cut the cable.

Picture is top-notch...4K capable. Also, something I discovered on my own that the "experts" in the stores did not know or tell me: even though you don't have a 4K capable TV, the Fire Box may still be what you want instead of the Fire Stick...here's why: when you watch live news or sports they are broadcast at 30 frames per second. The Fire Stick only can produce 20 frames per second, so the picture looks somehow "previously recorded"...jusy not like a sharp, high-def pucture. So I replaced the Fire Stick on my 1080p capable TV with the Fire Box and, BINGO!, perfect...because it can reproduce 30 frames per second! You'll see the difference, trust me!!!

I managed to catch it on sale for 1299$ and use a 10% movers coupon to get it for about 1275$ after tax. TV works great and has a good picture, sound is whatever, but it's good enough for me.

If you are deciding between this and the Fire Stick, get this, much more CPU power to reduce lag, Wired Ethernet port, expandable memory slot. Much better experience, trust me.

Decided to try the Amazon Fire to replace our cable TV. Since I'm already an Amazon Prime member for other reasons, this was only a one-time expense for me. It was a very good choice - the Amazon Fire has given me the flexibility to watch what I want to watch and when without having to record and monitor what I record on the DVR. With the Amazon Fire I'm in control and not the cable company Even with adding Hulu & Sling, I'm still saving $100 each month!

Had troubles at first as I was using a dual modem/router. Once I bought a separate modem and router it worked great and the picture is even better than what I was getting with Xfinity!

Apple exceeds in all areas minus 4K. Tough decision but if I had to choose again I would opt for the new Apple TV.

When we first got this device it was a plus we had no problem with it working it has the MicroSD card slot so you can add more memory and set your apps to store there. After several months of using this item it requires to be reset at least once a day if you watching it for multiple hours sometimes up to two or three times if not the device will freeze and go nowhere on you. It is an excellent device when it works and the apps are set up and you can move them around to your choice and liking. But just for the reset reason after several months I would not purchase this again that's most likely one of the reasons why they discontinue making this and not have the dongle type version out now which I also purchased and that has not given me any troubles yet in the three months I've had it.

I got this box on special. This box is faster than amazon fire tv stick and perfect for all of u wanna convert your tv in smart tv. If you have amazon prime you can get more movies and shows

Set up was easy and load times and picture quality is amazing. The only set back is you have to purchase pretty much anything. I understand buying a movies , but to have to buy tv episodes is a draw back. I could just stick with my direct tv for that

Had a roku and wanted to compare how the FIRE TV performed. Ya can't lose with either one. If you see one of these FIRE TV on the shelf, grab it as they don't stay on the shelf long.

This device is great to stream a variety of content. It does not buffer like the stick since it plugs into the Ethernet on the router. I would recommend for your "streaming" needs.

I purchased it to see if the stream speed would be quicker than my Amazon Firestick but was disappointed. The stream speed is at the mercy of your internet provider. The processing speed is faster than the Firestick but in the end it has the same memory as the Firestick. For the price, the Amazon Firestick is better if all you do is stream... It might be a good fit for gamers.

I really like the Fire TV. We've had one in our living room for several years and I bought this one for my wife for Christmas to put in the bedroom. Great utility and very easy to sue.
