Fast, Smooth & Packed with Features – A Big Upgrade!
Fast, Smooth & Packed with Features – A Big Upgrade!Absolutely love the new Fire TV Stick 4K Max. It’s noticeably faster and more responsive than the older versions – apps load quicker, navigation is smoother, and streaming starts instantly. The picture quality is fantastic with support for 4K Ultra HD, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+. Everything looks sharp and vibrant on screen.Setup was super easy and the Alexa Voice Remote is a real bonus – very handy for searching or controlling smart home devices. I also like the extra storage space compared to the standard 4K Stick, which is useful if you install multiple apps.Overall, a solid upgrade and well worth it if you're after the best Fire Stick experience available right now.

Nice bit of kit, puppy approved.
I've had streaming boxes ie Shields and random unknown but recommended devices over the years, but having bought an expensive TV that did it all they all became redundant.But, my not even 2 year old TV now is suffering the typical fate of manufacturers selling it and forgetting it - ie apps have become buggy and unfixed or missing all together, and generally bloated performance wise.After a recent failing of YouTube on my TV I decided enough was enough, I'm going to try out the new Amazon Fire 4K Max sticks.Price - I mean it wasn't hugely cheap, but it's certainly not expensive in the grand scheme of media streamers and its certainly fully functional & if Amazon supports it like they do my very old fire tv stick on my bedroom TV which still performs brilliantly then it's worth every penny.Hardware wise, the specifications themselves are strong but the hardware included in the box is all you'll ever need, I'm not sure why there's some negative reviews about the remote quality as I personally feel its no worse than a normal TV remote, maybe some slightly rougher edges that will soon round off in use, it gets its weight from the batteries & it feels just fine.Setup - as someone who's dealt with complicated setups of streaming devices for years, the setup on the fire stick is down right boring - just pay attention to what it says on screen and you'll be left with a paired remote that also controls your basic functions.Performance wise, wow.. this things faster than my Samsung QN95 TV UI, and Xbox Series X for comparison, and it loaded up my Plex server on the first-run, in a matter of a couple of seconds, no stutter no bother.All the main apps are avaliable on the store, Netflix, Disney, iPlayer, YouTube, Prime Video, ITVX, 4, 5, Luna, and more.Plus if your tech savvy you can side load additional applications with relative ease.The UI, is the typical Fire TV UI nothing has changed there, splash banner at the top of the home screen advertising Amazon Video content (hardly a surprise) then your list of apps, easy.Functionality wise, there's enough settings in the settings menu to scale the screen properly to your TV if required, and sync up the sound if that's an issue, HDR / Sound modes etc basic simple but enough there to fine tune to one's specific setup should it be required.4K / HDR content plays with no issues at all from my Plex server, as does YouTube 4K etc.The Ambient mode, exclusive to the Max model I believe is a nice touch, basically a screen saver but more akin to an Echo Shows screen in that it displays the time, weather, reminders, etc after 5 minutes of being idle (or whatever time you set) - very quick to disappear and resume what you were doing, no slow down or stutter, just very "Nice".The only gripe I'd have would be the fire stick itself still has a Micro USB port, I mean come on Amazon/Jeff, its 2023 and even the fruity crew are rocking USB-C now.Technical tip: I'd advise using the supplied power plug, or if you do decide to run it directly from a USB port from the TV if you see a power insufficient warning, just use the plug - the device won't perform as it should and it will be unstable, possibly crash etc, while USB ports are rated for 5v (note the device wants 5.25v) it seldom actually manages a constant 5v.So, a great purchase for old dumb/redundant TVs (as long as they have an HDMI slot) to breath new life into them, but also nice even for modern/ year old hideously expensive TVs that get neglected by there manufacturers or the UI just isn't as slick as you'd expect it to be.All in all, very happy with my purchase & will recommend to others.

Fastest model yet 5*
Great product, portable, easy to install. Much much faster that the previous model firestick I had = no more buffering! Voice control works well 99% of the time. Overall good quality product at a reasonable price, especially if purchased on Prime sales!

A good fire stick…
I wanted to update my older fire-stick, we currently only have one in the home.This fire stick threw me a little, I am ok techy wise on some things, but as you know, one minute it is new, next old stock.This Fire TV Stick 4K Max streaming device supports Wi-Fi 6E, Ambient Experience and 16gb instead of my older 8gb stick.I ordered the fire stick around Black Friday so the cost was cheaper, I wouldn’t pay nearly £70 for one.When the fire stick arrived it was all boxed so precise, really nice, everything in place.Once everything was out of the box I put the new fire stick in my tv port and plugged the device in. Now some people have mentioned the fire stick, should be plugged into the main socket in their reviews. I have my tv quite away from the mains, so I have an adapter and plugged it in to it. Started up well. You will need your mobile if you prefer to set up via QR code. With the plug ( yes it comes as standard) it isnt that long, in the box is an extension, I’ve not used it, but kept hold of it just in case. The extension is super small.So everything was going great, however there is always a BUT… basically nearly finished the set up and what is different between my old fire stick and this new one, you have no choice but to add Alexa or cube speakers to the fire stick. Meaning this.. I was downloading things I liked to watch, ie Netflix etc, then I could hear voices coming from Alexa🤔 my remote also would not work to increase or decrease the volume, I could see the picture, but no volume in the bedroom, only Alexa playing the film through Alexa speakers.I had to remove this and googled how to do it, what Google was telling me to do, I couldn’t unpair it. So back to the drawing board, I reset the fire stick back to factory settings, I thought that would remove it. How wrong was I, it just didn’t work.So I went back on Alexa settings again and looked around, and yes it could be done.If this happens to you, please follow these instructions, if you don’t want it.1. Open the Alexa app2. Open more, and select settings3. Select TV & video service provider ie fire-stick4. Select unpair.Everything worked after that. I tried to set it up differently the second time, I wanted the fire stick to remove all the old stock I had on my previous fire stick, all the movies etc, but it doesn’t, possibly because Amazon has everything on me. worth a try though, so back to manually deleting movies.So next to the wifi. Part of the information states you need to have fast wifi and not slow. So the 4K, wifi 6E ambient experience will work correctly. I have no idea what wifi mine was as in the level. What on earth is wifi 6, I just have wifi🤔I just in touch with my broadband and asked them, they came back and said I was on wifi 5. if you like me haven’t a scoobie about this, just ask your provider. Most are on wifi 5…I heard that if you haven’t the correct strength of wifi there will be stuttering going on when watching movies or tv shows on demand. Mine is fine.Whatever TV you have the picture is scaled up to the most it can do. I have a five year old Hisense in my bedroom, so new movies out do add a much better visual experience, whereas on demand tv is virtually the same. A brand new or newer tv will I dare say offer a better experience.This new fire stick does offer a lot more space, 16gb as opposed to 8Gb.The remote is a little different, the volume up and down buttons are now on the left side, so that’s something to get used to.At the bottom left hand side is prime video, underneath it apps, right side Netflix, below that Amazon music. The rest of the remote comes as standard. For once Amazon has included a couple of Amazon basic batteries.* For those people who are not sure if your TV is compatible, the fire stick should fit fine, any make or model, that has the ports. Do not be concerned that you haven’t the wifi 6E, not many people have yet, works fine. My broadband is with Cuckoo which uses Open Reach. I haven’t witnessed so far any stuttering, spin wheels.* As I mentioned my TV is 4K etc and five years old, one thing having an older tv, you will/may not get the full ambiance of colours, the tv does scale the tv up as far as it can go.* if you have never used or owed a fire stick before, it is a good investment for excellent tv viewing. There are a lot of free channels. You can also read the reviews before completing the download. Usually if you want to say download a movie channel, before you click download, it will state if it’s free or not. Some are subscription based. Just click on the ones you want to download, put in your QR code or via your mobile the code. If anything is payable, Amazon will take the money. All the usual channels are on there.To finish my review, I wanted to buy another fire stick, so my husband can have the 8Gb, I just really wanted it for some more GB. If the price was £70 odd I wouldn’t pay it. If in the sale then yes. I don’t feel there is much difference to the fire stick I have had for five years. However if you do have a new tv, you may notice considerably the great picture quality. The sound is a lot better. I have had no issues with no sound like some ( I think that’s happened as I said earlier in regards to adding the fire stick with Alexa automatically) I feel speaker side of things should be optional and not by default… it’s time consuming taking it off.When ordering this fire stick be mindful this isn’t on next day delivery, usually takes just over a week. Ordering now takes the delivery into January 2024⭐️Thank you to the seller⭐️I hope my review helps you.
