The Amazon Fire TV Stick has received a high 4.7 out of five-star rating from almost 30,000 reviews on Amazon. One person said: “Just a lovely device to use. The button for Alexa works very well, which I mainly use for Amazon Music. Picture quality, there are absolutely no issues, and watching football on NOWTV through the Fire TV Stick has no buffering at all so far.”
Another added: “I used to watch movies and football, so having the 4K stick makes the picture perfect. I would recommend the 4K stick to everyone and I got mine on sale at £39.99, so that was also a great bonus price.”

A third shopper wrote: “Good item. Good price I paid at the time, the remote works on my TV as well, so I don’t have to search for the TV remote anymore and have the remote control nearby.”
Some people removed a star, as one person said: “Came quickly. Set it up. Then it went faulty, rang Amazon and was given help to reset it and get it working. Finding numbers is difficult, though.”
Another wrote: “Works well but is sometimes a bit slow buffering. It’s not the internet, my speeds are always good, and it never happened with my original Fire Stick. However, it is easy to use and fit, comes with a neat controller and saves me a fortune. I would recommend it to friends and family.”
