Back to the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus streaming device, Amazon shoppers have left rave reviews. One shopper said: “Great to watch live TV from many countries with an amazing quality screen. Works a thousand times better than a smart TV. Worth every penny. I just regret not buying it earlier.”
Another said: “Amazon Fire Stick is great value for money, easy to set up and connect. We take ours to Airbnbs and hotels due to it being portable, (it has) great streaming capability, sturdiness, and quality connectivity. Voice recognition works great once set up, highly recommend.”
A third added: “Good device, so quick to set up. Auto connected to my accounts on my apps and my Amazon account.”
Some shoppers left feedback, however, as one found the supplied cable was slightly short. They said: “It was quick to set up and I needed an extension to reach my socket. The cable supplied is a bit on the short side. The HDMI extension isn’t the most useful but can be depending on the HDMI ports on your TV or monitor. Overall the picture and sound are fantastic and (it’s) very easy to navigate (the) menu. The remote is compact and just perfect, the quality of the product is excellent. Very pleased with the purchase.”
Another said: “It’s a good device and it does what it says on the tin. It was good for our spare TV, which has a poor Wi-Fi connection for streaming. My main gripe, though, is that in the year of our lord 2025, they are still using micro-USB for the power supply.”
The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus streaming device can be found at Amazon.
