Key features

• It's the fastest Fire TV, with notably snappier navigation than the sticks.
• Hands-free Alexa means you can control the TV without picking up the remote.
• HDMI input lets it switch between your cable box or console.
• It's bundled with the Alexa Voice Remote Pro, Amazon's upgraded remote.

Best for

Home theater fans and Alexa households who want the fastest, most capable Fire TV.

Things to consider

• The interface still shows ads and Amazon promotions.
• It's overkill if you just want basic streaming.
• Always-listening mics may not suit everyone, though they can be muted.

Verdict

The best Fire TV you can buy. Choose the 4K Max stick if you just want fast streaming for less.
