If you’re looking for the most affordable option, you’ll want the Amazon Fire TV Stick, which currently amounts to an absurdly low $18. It’s short on bells and whistles, but it’s a solid choice for older TVs that could use a more user-friendly streaming interface, or when 4K isn’t an issue. It has never been so cheap.
If you want the total powerhouse, the Fire TV cube also offers 4K streaming and is the fastest streamer in this sale. It is twice as powerful as the Fire TV Stick 4K Max and it is now $100. It has WiFi 6E and Ethernet, support for Dolby Vision, HDR and Dolby Atmos and is essentially an Echo device with built-in hands-free Alexa. This one is $10 more than the previous all-time low, but still a solid deal at $40 off.

Are Fire TV devices worth it?
Modern TVs generally come with smart TV features, meaning you can easily access built-in streaming apps. This can make these streaming devices feel outdated, and for some people, that may be the case.
However, if you have an older model TV with no built-in streaming or a janky interface that you hate, or if your TV isn’t capable of things like Wi-Fi 6, then getting a streaming device could be a worthwhile upgrade. especially when it can cost less than $50.
Will Fire TV devices be cheaper on Black Friday?
Considering Amazon launched these Fire TV Stick deals at the same time its Black Friday previewWe don’t expect them to drop much, if at all, on Black Friday. Amazon’s sale officially starts on November 21, so you can wait a week and see what it yields just in case. That said, these prices are new all-time lows and are even better than previous Prime Day sales, so we don’t expect any downward price movement here.
