The Fire TV Stick can turn a standard, 'non-smart' TV into a smart TV, giving access to countless films and shows on major streaming apps like Prime Video, Disney+, Netflix, BBC iPlayer and YouTube, as well as music and games. This latest model supports up to Full HD 1080p streaming with immersive Dolby Atmos sound and is '50 percent more powerful' than the previous version.

It also comes with an Alexa Voice Remote, allowing you to use your voice to search and launch programmes from across different apps, while preset buttons take you to your favourite apps instantly. This model also features power and volume buttons so you can control the TV with a single remote and allows you to control compatible smart Alexa devices around the house.

Amazon's premier streaming gadget, the Fire TV Stick, is a breeze to install - just plug it into your TV's HDMI port, power up the TV and connect it to Wi-Fi to get started. This handy device is not only compact but also portable between TVs, making it an asset for households with multiple screens or for those who want to take it along while travelling, as reported by Bristol Live.

The Amazon Fire TV Stick has accumulated nearly 90,000 five-star reviews, with over 5,000 units flying off the shelves in the past month alone. Users are hailing the device as a 'game-changer' that is 'easy to set up' and serves up 'excellent' viewing quality.

One satisfied customer remarked: "The Amazon Fire TV Stick is an amazing device that has transformed my TV experience. It's incredibly easy to set up and gives me access to a vast selection of streaming services and apps. The Alexa Voice Remote is a game-changer just press a button and ask Alexa to find your favourite shows or control the TV. The interface is smooth and the picture quality is excellent. This device is a must-have for anyone looking to upgrade their TV's smart capabilities. Highly recommended."

Another added: "Absolutely delighted. It was installed in no time and up and running with no messing around. Amazon have made it really easy to sign in to apps with an existing subscription. I love love love it. Solved the problem of streaming when the lightning cable to iPad had caused issues for months. The unit itself fits into the HDMI port with a good stable fit. The remote is tidy and easy to use. Wonderful, five stars plus."

A third wrote: "Bang on. Really easy to set up. I was up and running in an hour and that was with loading my apps. Saved me buying a smart TV and upcycled my old but still working older non-smart TV. Using it for the bedroom and no complaints, the new remote is definitely an improvement on the earlier one."

Yet, even though they gave the Fire TV Stick a four-star rating, another user pointed out a flaw: "It is easy to install, you get a multitude of channels. The only downside is that it suffers buffering but not excessive."
