Illustrative image — see Amazon for the actual product.
Our verdict
The easiest, cheapest way to make any TV smart. With 4K, voice search and every major app, the Fire TV Stick is a tiny upgrade that punches well above its price — which is why it's a perennial top seller.
The short version
Plug it into an HDMI port, connect to Wi-Fi, and an old or basic TV instantly streams Netflix, Disney+, YouTube and the rest in 4K. The voice remote means you can just ask for a show instead of pecking out titles, and it's cheap enough to put one on every TV in the house.

Will it work on my TV?
Any TV with an HDMI port works; for true 4K you'll want a 4K TV, though it also works on HD sets.
Do I need a subscription?
The device itself just runs apps — individual services like Netflix still need their own subscriptions, but plenty of free apps exist too.
Is setup hard?
No — plug into HDMI, connect Wi-Fi, sign in to your apps, done in a few minutes.
Does the remote really do voice?
Yes, the included voice remote lets you search and control playback by speaking.
