More than 5,000 people purchased this streaming device in the past month.<\/p>\n

The details: Review, pros and cons<\/p>\n

The Fire TV Stick 4K Select will turn any TV into a smart TV with 4K Ultra HD and HDR10+ streaming. It will unlock access to streaming apps like Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, YouTube and thousands of others, plus more than 200,000 free ad-supported episodes.<\/p>\n

The best part is that this streaming stick’s setup is simple and straightforward \u2014 just plug it in and connect to your Wi-Fi. Plus, Alexa is built in, so you can search for your favourite shows, launch apps or control compatible smart home devices with your voice.<\/p>\n

Oh, and you can also stream Xbox Cloud games without a console (a subscription and compatible controller are required), making it a versatile option for streaming movies, TV shows and games.<\/p>\n

Pros \ud83d\udc4d<\/p>\n

Voice control is convenient<\/p>\n

Quick app buttons speed up search<\/p>\n

If I could confidently recommend any product to you, it would be this Fire TV Stick. I have multiple in my household, and while it may seem excessive, we just love them that much.<\/p>\n

They’re convenient, easy to use and have a top-tier interface. I love how effortless it is to search for shows, movies, apps, songs and even specific YouTube videos with the Alexa voice function and quick app buttons. It’s super helpful when it comes to accessibility, which we appreciate in my household.<\/p>\n

Navigating everything is pretty straightforward, from apps to settings. It’s also painless to set up, and that’s something I value in a tech product. All you have to do is plug two things in, and you’re good to go!<\/p>\n

I also prefer its compact size \u2014 who wants a big remote anymore? Not me!<\/p>\n

\"Image<\/a>Cons \ud83d\udc4e<\/p>\n

Gets lost easily (I might be the problem)<\/p>\n

This product definitely has more pros than cons for me and everyone in my house; however, it’s not entirely flawless.<\/p>\n

While I do love how small it is, I must admit that I often lose these little remotes. That might entirely be a me-problem, but I figured it’d be something to note. So, be sure to make a mental note of where you last left it \u2014 and don’t let it get lost in the depths of your couch.<\/p>\n

The biggest downside that I’ve noticed is that it can be laggy when searching on the homepage, which can get annoying. It’s nothing that would stop me from purchasing another, though (clearly).<\/p>\n

What Amazon shoppers are saying\ud83c\udfc6 “The Fire TV Stick 4K Select is a solid, no-drama streamer.”<\/p>\n

Amazon shoppers have provided more than 1,900 reviews worth of feedback on the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select, with some claiming it’s “an amazing experience for 4K Fire TV users.”<\/p>\n

“Performance is good for everyday use,” wrote one person. They said the “menus are responsive, apps load quickly, and Alexa voice search is actually handy for finding shows without endless scrolling.” They added, “It also plays nicely with smart home stuff if you’re already in the Alexa ecosystem.”<\/p>\n

\"Image<\/a><\/p>\n

While one shopper said it “does what Amazon Fire Stick does,” they “ended up purchasing the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus, which was much better, faster and clearer.”<\/p>\n

Many have also pointed out that they’re “disappointed that [the streaming stick] won’t allow 3rd party app downloads,” which is something to keep in mind before purchasing.<\/p>\n
