Media streaming remote controls make pandemic life so much easier. The minute you feel like kicking back and relaxing, these remotes are there for you, swiftly finding what you want to watch without the need to sift through thousands of channels and services. But these gadgets aren’t always cheap. Whether you are planning to gift someone a media streaming remote or snag one for yourself, it’s a breeze to stay on budget if you know what to shop.
And this is a great one to keep your eye on: this Amazon Fire Stick has thousands of 5 star reviews and it’s less than $30 right now.
There are a few different Fire Stick options at your disposal, and depending on your budget and needs, you’re bound to find the best one for you. But many tech experts and reviewers agree: the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is the best overall option for your streaming needs. It’s also one that will only set you back $29.99 and features more than 401,000 reviews and a 4.7 out of 5 star review.
Wondering why it’s so popular?
For starters, you can’t beat this gadget’s affordable price. The Fire TV Stick 4K works with Alexa voice commands for convenience. It supports 4K with HDR10 and Dolby Vision, which makes it a good investment for a future when more video content inevitably becomes available in formats like 4K and HDR10.
The Fire TV Stick 4K is slightly larger than the original Fire TV stick. It has a menu, playback controls and power and volume buttons. It can control your TV’s power and volume and is considered an upgraded replacement to the Amazon Fire TV.
If you’re still on the fence about whether to purchase a Fire TV Stick 4K, let its 5-star reviews seal the deal.
One reviewer writes: “If you get this new Fire Stick forget cable. I love this new Fire Stick. I need one for each room. It has more features and stations that are free and come with the First Stick.”
And another reviewer raves: “[…] If you're wondering whether the 4K version is a gimmick or whether it's worth it, the answer is: it's worth it, because it's as if they ironed out all the little kinks and pain points to get the user to their chosen content as quickly as possible. All the little improvements in terms of the speed/function, and the upgraded Alexa remote make the 4K version a pleasure to use.”
Grab one — or one for every room with a TV — and get even more out of your relaxing nights at home.
