If you’re stuck with an older TV lacking smart features, or your existing smart TV isn’t compatible with your other stuff, Amazon’s lineup of Fire TV sticks is a great (and very cheap) solution. Right now all, of them are on sale, making them a no-brainer. One of my favorite things to do on Fire TVs is install Kodi to virtually stream anything you want to for free. You can learn a bit more of what the Fire Stick is like on our head-to-head with the Roku OS here.

The Fire TV Stick Lite is $19.99
If you want to get the most basic Fire TV Stick, the Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite for $19.99 (originally $29.99) is the one. It includes all the basic functions, such as some free live TV channels, Alexa voice support for hands-free controls, and HD streaming. You will, however, be giving up some basic buttons on your remote, like volume and mute.
The Fire TV Stick is $24.99
For $5 more, you can get the Amazon Fire TV Stick. This one includes volume control and mute buttons. You can get it now for $24.99 (originally $39.99), and you can read the full PC Mag review here.
The Fire TV Stick 4K is $29.99
If you have a 4K HDTV, get the Fire TV Stick 4K for $29.99 (originally $49.99). You can read the full PC Mag review here.
The Fire TV Stick 4K Max is $39.99
If you have a 4K HDTV and Wi-Fi 6e, choose the Fire TV Stick 4K Max for $39.99 (originally $59.99). This Fire Stick offers high performance and has twice as much storage as the rest at 16GB. You can read the full PCMag review here.
If you want the best device Amazon has to offer
If you have a little extra money to spend, consider the Amazon Fire TV Cube for $109.99 (originally $139.99). The Cube works like an Alexa speaker and includes hands-free voice control for your TV or any other device you can connect to it, including gaming consoles, without a remote (though it does come with one). It has a faster processor than the 4K Max (twice as fast, according to Amazon). Another worthy addition is the ethernet port; a wired connection to your router will offer the fastest speeds and best video quality. Read the full PCMag review here.
