This is a pretty cool Firestick. I mainly use it for streaming on YouTube, Vudu, and Netflix. It's the third one I've purchased... with every purchase, the designs get newer and more interesting. I love the power button that controls my tv, and the volume button that magically controls the tv as well... it's not a smart tv, but it does have HDMI ports x 2. Set-up was easy... just followed the instructions, linked my prior account, and it took it some time to get my apps on there, but it was eventually successful... did it all by itself!
In case you don't know, or you've never owned a Firestick, the remote can be taken all the way across your house, and it'll still be able to work. You can hide it behind a pillow, and the signal is still strong. This is very interesting technology to me! On the other hand, I can take the manufactures (regular) remote and face it away from the tv, and it won't work! LOL!!! Oh! You get two AAA batteries to boot. I use rechargeable Duracell batteries with all of mine, and there's an on-screen prompt that notifies you when your batteries are running low. Pretty neat. (= I don't use voice recognition a lot, but most of the time, it works just fine. I refuse to invite Alexa into my humble home... for the time being. If she's hot enough, then I may reconsider.
Technology is good depending on the intended application of it. At this point? My only concern is the longevity of this product. Had my first one, my very first one, not stopped working as expected (screens freezing, having to reset it multiple times to link with my Wi-Fi, mashing the button to the right required more muscle), then I'd have not been in the market for another. Nevertheless, all things eventually break down. In the meantime, this one is working just fine. 5 Stars.
I hope this helps you with your purchase. Thanks for stopping by, and take care. Have a wonderful day!

Configuration: Fire TV StickVerified Purchase
Overall an amazing product! Amazon thought of everything and then fit it all into this little gadget. I'm an owner of an Apple TV and when the streaming box of one of my TVs broke, I decided to give the Fire Stick a chance since I didn't feel like dropping $100+ for another Apple TV. IT WAS THE BEST DECISION I'VE MADE. My initial impression of the Fire Stick was how tiny it was compared to the Apple TV. It wasn't a huge, heavy box that I had to lug around whenever I traveled, even to the point where it became too big of a hassle to bring. Instead, the Fire Stick is small, 100% portable, and doesn't weigh any more than a pen. So you can imagine how surprised I was when I found out that this little stick had more features and abilities than my Apple TV. The built-in Alexa is so much smarter than Siri and I love how it can switch between applications and do everything that an Alexa can do, the only big difference being that you have to click the Alexa button instead of being voice-activated (Maybe Amazon can add that feature). Installing it was super simple, all I had to do was plug it in and connect it to the power. The fire stick plugs into any HDMI port and if the stick is too long to fit in the HDMI section then you could use the provided HDMI extender which has a flexible cord. Again, Amazon thought of everything for this product. P.S. I must say that Amazon was super generous including the needed 2 AA batteries, a shock for big companies these days. The Fire Stick can turn any TV into a smart TV and add many features if you already have a smart TV. If you have an Amazon Prime subscription, you'll get access to Prime Video and a LOT of news sources (I'm not sure about what it'll be like without a Prime Subscription, sorry) But everyone can log into apps like Disney+, Hulu, Netflix, Youtube, and my new personal favorite, Spotify. My only concern with this product is how easy it is to lose the remote, especially if you're a very forgetful person like I am. Amazon does have replacement remotes that they sell, one even has additional features like the ability to make the remote play a sound to locate it, but even the basic one can go for up to $20 which is more than half the price of what I paid for it. Also, a little tip, I noticed that this product specifically goes on huge sales from time to time so I recommend waiting if it currently isn't on sale. The Fire Stick is truly an amazing product and in my opinion, it belongs in the top tier of streaming devices.
