Best TV Sticks of 2025

"I bought this Fire Stick because my previous TV was slow. The Fire OS is much better and compatible with the apps I use. I love that I can sideload apps, which adds more value! The setup was easy, and the unboxing experience was pleasant with batteries included. Overall, a 10/10 buy for me!"

"Setting up my 4K Fire TV Stick was a breeze! The video clarity is amazing, and the audio quality is superb. This is my second Fire Stick, and I’m a satisfied customer who highly recommends it!"

"I recently purchased the Fire Stick, and it has transformed my entertainment experience. The ease of use is incredible, and the streaming quality is top-notch. With Alexa built in, I can control everything hands-free. Incredible value for the price—it's a must-have!"

"I've had Firesticks for several years now, and I find them to be a great option for streaming. They come with everything you need to get started, including batteries for the remote. The user-friendly OS is easy to navigate, and I appreciate the developer options for customizing my experience. While I've noticed some lagging over time, the value for the price is excellent, especially since they often go on sale."

"Setting up the Fire Stick was incredibly simple; I wish I had done it sooner! Initially, I hesitated because I thought there was a monthly fee, but it's just a one-time purchase! After plugging it into my TV, the setup walked me through signing into my Amazon account and choosing apps. The interface is intuitive, and the convenience of having both paid and free streaming options in one place is fantastic!"

"Having used multiple Firesticks, I can confidently say they are all easy to install and use. I love how portable they are, making it easy to take them on vacation and still enjoy the streaming capability of my home TV. Generally, I experience no issues with speed, but of course, that can depend on my internet connection. The memory is sufficient for all my TV apps."

"I received a Roku TV for my birthday, replacing my smaller Fire TV, but I missed the Fire's interface. The Fire Stick worked wonderfully, and I prefer it to Roku. Even my son, a die-hard Roku fan, had to admit that the Amazon Fire interface is better and ended up installing one on his Roku after using mine for a few days. Reasonably priced and easy to set up, it syncs across all my TVs and devices. Amazon rocks! I can access my Amazon accounts and even surf the web, all for under twenty bucks!"

"I bought two of these Fire TV Sticks. The first one, which was $18.99 on special, didn't work—the remote wouldn't connect, regardless of the batteries used. I returned it and bought the same model from a different vendor for just a dollar more. This one worked perfectly, and the Alexa voice feature works well!"

"The setup was quick and easy, and the price was great at $16.99. My old Fire Stick had quit after five years, and I spent six weeks dealing with cable issues, not realizing it was my old device. Even my tech-savvy son was mistaken!"

"I found it super easy to set up! It works on any TV from 720p to 4K and has great DOLBY sound. We cut the cable cord and I’m so glad we went with this!"

"I bought the Roku Streaming Stick 4K recently and I'm really impressed! The 4K looks amazing, and the user-friendly interface makes navigating apps a breeze. The Dolby Atmos sound is fantastic too!"

"I have been a Roku user for years. This cheaper option has 4K capability and is easy to set up. I do wish it lasted longer, but overall, I love their products!"

"I recently upgraded to the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max, and I'm really impressed with its performance! Setting it up was a breeze—just plug it in, connect to Wi-Fi, and you're good to go. The 4K streaming quality is crystal clear, and I love that it supports Wi-Fi 6E, which means faster speeds and a more stable connection. While I did notice a slight delay when launching apps, it's nothing that affects my overall enjoyment. For the price, this device is a great value!"

"If this Gen Xer can set it up, so can you! The instructions were very easy to follow, and I love the variety of channels available. The Fire Stick's small size fits perfectly in the palm of my hand, and its great design makes it easy to recommend for anyone wanting to cut the cable cord."

"I couldn’t be more thrilled with my decision to upgrade to the Fire TV Stick 4K Max! This model is not only stylish but also delivers top-of-the-line performance. The 16GB storage allows for fast access to apps, and the voice remote feature is exceptionally responsive. Overall, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max is a game-changer for home entertainment!"

"I just got my Fire Stick today! Setting it up was a breeze. I had been using an old Roku 3500x from 2014, which was painfully slow and lacked many apps. I finally decided it was time for an upgrade, and I chose this Fire Stick because of the great price! It has completely transformed my old Hisense TV."

"I decided to purchase the Fire Stick because I didn't have a smart TV and had just cut the cable. I could only watch DVDs before. Since getting the Fire Stick Lite in April 2024, I've been absolutely thrilled! I've loaded it with my favorite apps, allowing me to watch exercise videos and documentaries. The picture quality is fantastic!"

"I’ve bought three of these devices, and they work wonderfully. Setup was a breeze and batteries were included, which was a nice touch. I couldn't be happier with my decision!"

"I initially struggled with the remote; it didn't seem to work at all. After changing the batteries, I learned that the remote might need resetting. Once I reset it, everything started functioning perfectly. However, I find the remote feels a bit flimsy and makes crackling noises when I press the buttons. It feels cheap, but I've seen remote covers on Amazon that might help with that, so I'm considering getting a few."

"For the price, I think the Fire TV Stick is an outstanding device. I've owned Apple TV and Google Chromecast, but I prefer this one. While I still appreciate my Apple TV for its seamless integration with my Apple devices, I believe the Fire TV Stick offers better value. I would definitely recommend it!"

"I was pleasantly surprised by how well this refurbished Fire Stick performed; it feels just like a new one. I plan to keep buying these instead of new ones—great value!"

"I recently bought the Certified Refurbished Fire TV Stick Lite, and it has really transformed my home entertainment! The setup was a breeze; I just plugged it into the HDMI port and connected to my Wi-Fi within minutes. The user-friendly interface and great picture quality make binge-watching a joy. Plus, the Alexa Voice Remote Lite is a game-changer for finding content quickly. I was skeptical about a refurbished item, but it feels and works like brand new!"

"Setting this up was super easy; I just plugged it in and connected to Wi-Fi. The remote is slim and works great, though I find my home Alexa sometimes gets confused about whether I’m talking to her or the remote. Still, this device provides everything a smart TV box should, with plenty of channels and apps available. If your TV lacks these features, this is an excellent value!"

"I bought this refurbished Firestick after my previous one stopped working, and I’m thrilled with it! It's incredibly fast and the setup was straightforward. I can hardly believe it’s refurbished—it looks brand new and works flawlessly!"

"I was totally impressed with this Fire Stick. It has revived my older TV and I am thrilled with its speed."

"After getting the Fire Stick, it opened up a whole new world for us. We were skeptical about this technology but it allows us to watch favorite shows without high costs. We took a gamble on refurbished equipment and it paid off!"

"While I initially loved the new 4K Max, I faced some setup errors that left me disappointed. Despite resetting multiple times, I couldn't get past the parental controls. Sadly, this one is going back."

"I've tried many streaming devices, and I found this Xiaomi Mi stick to be the worst of all. There are many issues that need fixing. The TV streaming channel button on the remote is unavailable in the U.S., and the latest firmware update couldn't resolve it. Chromecast mirroring with Netflix and Disney doesn't work well, and I have to log into apps to use the cast function. I've never faced this with other devices. The default volume is quite weak, and while there are hacks to increase it, it's still a hassle. I wouldn't recommend it."

"I was pleasantly surprised with the Xiaomi TV stick! It performed excellently for IPTV, and it was a great deal when I got it on sale. The only downside is the inability to skip time or enter channel numbers directly. Overall, it's light, compact, and powerful, definitely a great alternative to the Nvidia Shield."

"Este dispositivo es increíble! Después de probar otros como el TV Box T95MAX y Fire TV Stick, que no me permitieron acceder a aplicaciones como HBOMAX o Star+, este Xiaomi TV stick resultó ser el mejor de todos. Pude descargar y ver todas las aplicaciones de streaming que uso, como Netflix, Amazon Prime, y Disney+. Si lo hubiera conocido antes, no habría perdido tanto tiempo ni dinero. Estoy super satisfecho con mi compra!"
