Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great device in any household. It can help save money by watching shows that come on tv show you don't have to buy the most expensive cable there is out.

My tv is a bit older so I wanted this to have apps and other things like most smart tvs have. This plus my PlayStation and now I have all he streaming services I need

Love the quality. It's no reason to have the fire stick and cable at the same time. Disconnected my cable the same week I bought my fire stick. I own five & love it!

You can watch new or old tv shows, sports, music, games and kid movies. Access to new movies a week later from coming out in the theater. It has everything.. love it!

I use amazon prime all the time. Now that I picked up the fire stick and can bring it with me to friend's house's or even on vacation. Great device for the price!!!!

Great viewing option for Cord Cutting. App support is first class. Although not as powerful as the full Fire TV box, this works great with Netflix, Vue, Sling, etc.

IT WAS GREAT. I LOVED IT THE ONLY REASON IM GIVING YOU A 2 IS BECAUSE I STARTED TO USE THE PRODUCT AND THE BATTERIES WERE DEAD SO BEFORE I EVEN STARTED USING THIS PRODUCT I HAD TO RUN BACK TO THE SRORE EVENTOUGHT THE PRODUCT INCLUDED BATTERIES

Great for watching movies and turning a tv into a smart tv, slightly slow loading maybe fire tv would be more responjve.

I hear people talking about these every where i go, so i had to try it for my self. It works just fine never had a problem with it the kids and my husband love it.

This is great especially for the price. If budget is a factor this does pretty much everything the Amazon Fire does, except it's cheaper and has a smaller footprint.

great entertainment device..able to log in and watch favorite tv shows, movies, cartoons for my kids..love the product

Bought the fire stick because my friend has one. After purchasing I learned from a family member how to jail break. Best valve for 40 bucks to watch movies ever!

It plays fast streaming movies,lots of variety of all the favorite TV shows and movies

The Amazon Fire Stick is ok sometimes the software can get a little sluggish but overall pretty good it does what it's suppose to do I think it comes in second behind the ROKU Stick when it come to performance but still not a bad choice.

Don't hesitate just buy it. It is absolutely the best investment you're gonna make! Don't delay buy today! They can't keep this item on their shelves long enough!

(As a heads up, I picked this up as a Deal of the Day paired with a reward certificate, so I did not pay full price for this. If I had, I would have given 3 stars instead of 4.) I bought the Fire TV Stick for my office TV, so I could have access to Pandora, Netflix and Amazon Instant Video. It was fairly inexpensive thanks to being on sale and with a reward certificate, so it was a no-brainer to go ahead and purchase it. Setup couldn't have been easier. Plug the device into a power source, install the batteries into the remote and wait for automatic pairing, connect to WiFi, and log into Amazon. The interface is nice to look at, very fluid and fast, and easy to navigate, though it could benefit from borrowing the grid-like setup of the Apple TV software to make scanning available content easier. Pairing an app remote installed on my iPhone was also easy - just wait for the code to pop up on your TV. Obtaining apps through Amazon is easy, though this could benefit from borrowing design elements from iTunes App Store or Google Play. The one part you hold, the remote, feels nice but a little flimsy at times. The remote app works well enough, though scrolling should be easier. I did test it out 4 different ways, just to see how well it worked. If this qualifies as TL;DR, just skip to the bottom of the review for my final judgement. With an Asus VS238: The picture was crystal clear, but there were a few color management issues when compared to the Apple TV 3. Interface and all video was clean. Audio sounded fine, no clipping from overdriven output (which I've had problems with while using my gaming PC and it's Radeon 6870 video card). All in all, a 21 to 28 inch screen and this device are a good combination. Because of clearance issues with my monitor stand, I needed to use the HDMI extender cable. With a LG 55LM7600: MHL doesn't work, so the USB power connection goes into my last open USB port (one has a flash drive for pictures, one has a Logitech keyboard attached). Warned about low power port, but no issues powering the device. Image quality is good, but I did have to tweak the tint and gamma from the defaults slightly. Everything works as expected, no DD+ or DD pass-through over ARC (either the stick or the TV didn't detect the capability). USB cable is too long for the back of the TV by about 3 or 4 feet. With a LG 55LM7600 connected to an Onkyo TX-NR717: MHL doesn't work, so the USB power connection goes into the backside first (again, power warning) and then the frontside (no power warning). Image quality is good, I use the receiver picture quality controls to adjust for color level, tint, color balance, and brightness, and it matches to my Apple TV after those tweaks. DD and DD+ work from both Netflix and Amazon Instant. Audio quality using AirBuddy is nearly on-par with Apple TV for AirPlay (though the trial version of AirBuddy only allows for 15 minutes at a time). I do notice the device would be a tight enough fit, however, if I were to place it at the back of my receiver; however, it does come with a 6" HDMI extender cable to alleviate that issue. The USB cable isn't long enough to reach for a dedicated power connection from the wall. With an Olevia 537h-B11: Stick fits nicely into the cable management area on the back of the TV. Stick realizes it's attached to a 720p TV and not 1080P, and switches resolution on its own. The interface image quality is poor, even after adjusting sharpness, contrast, and everything else I can to make edges not as harsh. Computer animation, Fox Sports 1 live, and WatchESPN live are all the same with strong aliasing on any line that isn't straight. The TV show "Transparent" on Amazon looks good, however, as does the Netflix show "House of Cards". Album artwork from music played on my iPhone through AirBuddy looks good, but text suffers the same aliasing issues. Photos from the screen saver are hit or miss, depending on details (I never did look at the screen saver on the 1080P displays.) So the pros: easy setup decent remote with good range wifi has great range (picked up base stations from 200-300 feet away) nicely sized comes with HDMI extender and a USB wall plug for those that need them good audio quality, especially with DD and DD+ some of the better streaming services are represented (amazon, hulu, netflix, and ultraviolet via flixster) fast to start playback fluid interface and fast boot time of the device The mehs: remote could be slimmer and more solid color management could be better, with more output options (RGB 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 please) the USB port for power could have been placed closer to the end of the stick instead of the center could have come with a shorter cable interface design tweaks would make this a better experience And the cons: does not work on MHL power (but MHL ports are just HDMI with power, so this works as an HDMI device) one size does not fit all in terms of the USB cable interface is grainy on 720P TV sets, as is some video USB connection on the side can block access to other HDMI ports on TVs and receivers -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conclusion: All in all, I would recommend this to those that need a cheap way to get Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, or other video providers on their bedroom TV, and don't want the headaches associated with Chromecast (which requires a computer, smartphone, tablet, or other compatible internet-connected device that supports Casting). It looks great on 1080P TV sets, but not quite as good on 720P TV sets. Personally, I'd consider Apple TV (for Apple device/computer owners and those with large iTunes media collections), Google Nexus Player (for those with Android phones running recent versions of Android and those with large collections of media and apps from Google Play), or Roku 2 or 3 (for those that just want to stream and don't have large media collections on iTunes or Play) over this device, but I would consider this over the Amazon Fire TV box since the biggest difference between the two devices for the average user is the Fire TV Box comes with the microphone remote and this does not, and I'd consider this over dedicated media players from other manufacturers. It also makes a great upgrade for those with a Smart TV that's a few years old but feeling dated.

Powerful cheap little media player. Was never a fan of smart TV's due to the lagging software. So I've added fire sticks to all my TV's. Best decision ever!

If you do not have cable this is the next best thing to have and no monthly fees. One time fee for $39.99 + taxes. I would also suggest an antenna along with it.

This is my second firestick. I love the features that it has. I am able to cast Youtube from my phone onto the firestick and I can use my cell phone as a remote.

This fire stick is great. The family loves it. It allows my tv to play Netflix and all kinds of apps. You don't need an outlet you can power it from the USB port.
