Why is this a good Amazon deal?

This is the latest model of the Fire TV Stick. The previous iteration dropped lower, but this updated one — which supports Wi-Fi 6 — just dropped in price for this special savings event. (Pssst: It's expected to go back to its original price of $50 when the sale ends on March 25.)

Why do I need this?

The Fire Stick is one of the easiest streaming devices to use — and the most budget-friendly. Plus, it's arguably one of the most easy to use and set up. Simply plug the Fire TV Stick 4K into one of your 4K TV’s HDMI ports and the streaming device will immediately search for your home’s Wi-Fi network and wait for you to log in.

It's simple and it's oh, so tidy — no crazy cords to wrangle with. Plus, it comes with an intuitive remote that can cue up access to over 300,000 movie titles. Plus, it's Alexa Voice integrated; the Alexa assistant can control smart devices, gives movie suggestions and you can even use it to shop the Amazon storefront from your TV. (Alexa, please shop popcorn poppers and weighted blankets!) You’ll find fun interactive settings like pop-up results for actor and director names via IMDb. Need to check in on the news, weather or sports scores? The Alexa voice assistant is at your service.

What's the difference between this gadget and the other Fire Sticks? Aside from the fact that it can reach 4K resolution — hence the name — it's a solid mid-range option.

What reviewers say:

"This turned my slow LG smart TV into a streaming machine. I love the remote and how easily it pairs with the TV. Bluetooth pairing with headphones is perfect. Will be buying more of these...," one fan raved.

"I love this Fire Stick. It's so much faster than the old version. Worth every penny. Can't wait to upgrade my TV so that it can truly be used the way it was meant to be used," one customer said.

Another wrote, "I love my new Fire TV Stick! I had an old one and wanted to upgrade, and this is perfect. It remembered and uploaded all my streaming channels, it couldn't have been easier. The only thing I would recommend is that they should have a longer cord for the power."

Shoppers did note that they wished the cord was "just a few inches longer," but added that this definitely isn't a deal-breaker, especially when considering how affordable the device is, overall.

Indeed, the Fire TV Stick 4K is one of the best ways to instantly add video streaming to your TV without getting a new set. Cheers to that.
