Make sure to check this before buying an Amazon Firestick... 

I’ve changed all of my passwords to Kenny. I now have Kenny Loggins.

Yeah, the prices of a lot of Amazon devices seem to have jumped up a fair bit lately. Last month, I was looking at getting a full size Amazon Echo speaker, but then I noticed that the price had shot from £89.99 to £109.99. That's a 22.2% increase! Your advice is spot on .... don't buy any Amazon devices until they're on sale!

You asked what we use for streaming - I use a NVIDIA SHIELD and have for years. Thanks for your videos! Keep up the good work.

I was just about to buy a firestick for the first time so did a bit of digging and came across your channel. It’s been really helpful and this latest one was well worth a watch for me. Thanks buddy

We have ditched our Amazon Firestick devices and stopped our Prime Account as well. We bought the NVIDIA Shield Pro a couple years ago and use it on our primary TV. More recently on our other TVs we are using the MeCool KM6 and the UGOOS TV Box. We use all the devices with Launchers and don't deal with Adverts! Thanks for exposing Amazon. We appreciate your getting the word out!

I live in Spain and have a firestick 4K max, I have not noticed the price hike as I am not looking to renew yet but am waiting for a new one to be released depending on price. Keep the videos coming always enjoy them from you.

Own 4k firestick and firecube 2nd gen. Have set up many sticks most recently the 4k max HD which was £38.99 in a sale. I've never purchased full price as like you mention they're frequently on sale. Everything is going up in price nowadays so why not amazon devices. Shop smart and you'll be fine.

Currently in the US Lite $19.99 3rd Gen $24.99 and 4K Max $34.99 on sale. I just retired my 2nd Gen Amazon stopped updating it. Replaced it with the 4k Max. Keep up the great work

Never a waste of time, mate. Thanks for all you do 😊

Thanks for the heads up!

I have three Fire sticks, two 4k and one HD. I no longer use any of them as over the years the user interface has become crap. I now use Chromecast with Google TV sticks. Have loaded all the apps I need and there are two advantages; I can cast from my pad or phone any downloaded content and I’ve selected “App Mode” which removes all the clutter.

A great video mate , thanks for the tip off with Amazon fire stick prices 👍👍

Many Thanks Adam for the info.

Cheers Free Tech for the info I use a Fire TV Cube and a Fire TV stick 4k got them when the price went down.🍻

That was the first time I laughed at his joke. It is so painfully true.

You are correct a lot of Amazon prices have shot up and the third party sellers they us to deliver a lot of there items free if you are a prime members now 50% of them Amazon charges you and deliver has gone from one day delivery to two days or they say that it will be delivered the next day and don't deliver it until two days later really bad 😞

The last Amazon Firestick I bought was the 4k. I just purchased the new onn 4k with Google TV for $19.88!! I love the device and it will replace my older non 4k Firesticks.

I mainly use fire sticks, but I have Google TV and several Roku devices. It looks like the fire stick pricing hasn't changed in the US and they are all on sale/offer right now.

Nice one mate , love your content. I've got the 4 k max.

Glad someone has done a video on this. I’ve noticed how much the price is creeping up. In fact, the whole Amazon streaming thing is not what it was. Costs going up. Sneaking in adverts. I’m thinking about ditching prime altogether. So yeah, more info on other non Amazon products appreciated. Good video, hope you’re well.

I have 2 amazon show 5s also a highmedia Q10 with a hard drive inside ... all working great ... from the U.K. ...

I'm finding better value off the Chromecast right now, dropping down to £25 very often and the fact you can pretty much clear ALL Apps off the device doesn't half help it And of course batting all the horrendous Amazon Bloatware away (not even mentioning the Stealth updates, shudder.....)

I purchased two Firestick Max 4K at different times like months apart. One of them turned out to be an old Firestick 4K whenI finally installed. Both had the newer remote and not sure what happened.

Would love to see more content other than Amazon stuff. With the RK3588 now on the market, I think there is going to be some interesting devices that might even push the Nvidia Shield

NVIDIA SHIELD ALL THE WAY. Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible day. Love ya bro

Good call mate👍

Have 4 firestick 4k always wait for the sales. But how much better is the max apart from the memory upgrade?

You funny crazy man Love you videos a! I was wandering you can tell me how to sale fore stick on Amazon marketplace everything I try to sale them a get shut down for days, I must be doing something wrong, you have any suggestions?

Just bought a 4K max last week. £38.00 .. checked today.. over £60 now! WTF!

Over past four years I’ve bought about 20. About 10 are still active on TV’s I use. I also have an Android TV and a ONN device. I have not paid more than $25 for any of them and only upgrade when on sale

Glad I got all of mine cube,4k sticks when the price's were lower. The question is are they still great vfm?.

I got a fire tv 4k max for £38 last week on Amazon. I have 4 fire stick and will be cancelling my virgin tv package saving me over a £100 a month. Love your videos😊

I think I'm right in saying that the processor is the same across the whole stick range but not sure about the cube. My last Fire Stick 4K Max I bought toward the end of last year. I think it was part of a sale & in addition I got advised that I could return an existing SD stick that I bought about 2 years ago, for an extra 20% off.. In the end the new 4K Max cost me around £25 & free delivery with Prime. I think the main advantage with the Firestick is not the device but the Amazon store. About 18 months ago I bought the then new Chrome cast stick which was no longer just a casting device. Performance was better than the Fire stick but the Google store for Android/Google TV just was so weak in the number of apps, I've put it back in it's box & not used at all (eBay here it comes). Thanks for these sort of videos when it deals with non technical issues & yes I'm surprised the product has gone up so much.

I own one Fire TV cube and several Firesticks, bought them all whenever they go on sale. I check the prices regularly so always know what the prices are and were 👍

Our house has 3 cubes different generations and 3 sticks which is also different versions. Most were purchased on sales and prime days. 🙂

Hi, All your presentations are great. I look forward to them all. I really like your contagious laughter. The thick accent that I perceive as an American is wicked awesome. Yeah, I said it, lol. I have a question for you though. I'm considering getting an assortment of different streaming devices and connect them all through an HDMI switch (selectable 4 into 1). I was going to power the streaming devices all with a USB charging block combination data switch with 7 ports. Each one has its own power switch to control which one I want to use. Next to each streaming USB port I was going to install a memory stick to swap the data into. I was thinking that by powering up a streamer and stick at the same time, It would work well and I wouldn't need to unplug very often. This is all because of another youtuber called UGT. He did a video of someone he's familiar with that posted 250 legit streaming services and what firesticks they work with on his website. So my thought is that I might find enough streaming sites that will require lots of storage and I don't want to keep swapping out devices so the 4 into one HDMI switch can control the choice of device but the USB switch can link it to the memory stick. I will probably start out with Roku 4K and the Firestick 4K for now and choose another if there's anything that I can't install on either/both of them.

They all went up in price about 4/5 weeks ago. I grabbed a few of each 4k and max when on sale.

What is the best alternative for a firestick then plz

Great video 👍🏾! I have #4 👉🏾 4K Sticks & #2 👉🏾 Nvida 2017 ❤ Any version of product(s) is fine... Information is great asset! Thank you 👑

I usually buy a firestick 4K max when they go on sale, I have 2 myself, but if you buy them when they are on sale for $35, they make a great gift for family members that don’t have one, and I get the otg cable & a thumb drive for external storage.

Day to day streamer of choice is an Apple TV 4K (2022) but I do have a Firestick 4K Max which is used when on holidays

Would love to see other content instead of Amazon, great channel keep it up

I've 4k firestick, a 2nd gen fire cube, and a Toshiba fire tv. The built in fire device in the firet v, the storage is almost equal to that of the fire cube.

I set up my RCA Vinyl player to play through my Amazon Alexa today. I bought a £7.99 bluetooth receiver/transmitter and sent the signal to Alexa bluetooth via RCA. It's not the best sound but Alexa app has bass, treble and mid range settings. I like that i can use Alexa to control the volume :-). I know i was shocked too 🙂 But like i say not brilliant sound but i'm no longer a loud music man. I just like my retro stuff. 🙂 🙂

Normally the 4K is $44.99 US but it goes on sale for $24.99 - $29.99 every couple of months. Current price hike in the UK is because of part shortages and I heard the shipping strike affected it as well.

Great videos. Use Nvidia Shield as it is easier to customise, better video, gaming, more RAM. Firestick is great if you want to upgrade an old tv or prepared to put time in to get best out of it.

I have 2 fire tv sticks, one is quite an early one and the other is the 4K, also have a Now TV streaming stick plus stream (Via Chromcast) from Ipad & Android Phone

I've got a dozen assorted Amazon products: sticks, echo, echo show and I have The Nvidia Shield. I didn't notice the price because I always keep two in reserve I bought them when they were $29.99 and that's all I pay attention to. If I use one, I'll wait for another great deal, before restocking.. 😉

Hey Adam! I would have responded sooner but I just got the notice about this video! (1 week late!) This video must have had to swim to the USA!😂 I have 2 firestick 4k 1 Firecube 3- 8" tablets 3-10" tablets and I have bought many more Amazon products as gifts! You are correct! The prices are jumping like kangaroos! I only buy when the stuff is on sale, and this ain't sale time for sure! Thanks for the video! By the way, I just picked up a couple of the newest ONN boxes at Wally World for less than 20 bucks 🇺🇸 US! They are OK and the grandkids can have fun with them!

Yes noticed the price increase that's quite a jump Any way to get the new onn 4k Google TV wished we had something like that here

Hi do you use or recommend any android boxes CHEERS

Can you cover the Formula range of boxes curently im still using my Formula Z7+ (Old but still working fine) should i upgrade to the Formula Z11 Pro Max?

The best is the Firecube which really is amazing. O got mine during prime for £79.99... ❤ No other streaming device is as dynamic as the CUBE. You'd be framed to buy another 😁!

We have a firecube and fire stick 4k, a standard fire stick. We also own a Echo show 9 and 3 5th gen echo dots.

I have a 2nd gen Fire Cube, an Nvidia Shield, 3 Rokus and a device I made myself. I think I got the Fire Cube for $79 on sale about 18 months ago.

I have a Roku TV, Apple TV 4K, Firestick, I use Amazon TV, and Netflix for the majority of my streaming but I don't find that much on the Apple TV is has hardly anything I want to watch so I rarely Apple TV or Firestick.I would enjoy you covering more topics other than Fire TV sticks.

I went from a AC Ryan back in the day to Roku to GoogleTV 4k to Nvidia Shield and next i wanna go full NAS haha. Never had any version of Firestick though.

Roku is great used the Roku soundbar the past 2 years. Very clean interface 100s of channels and apps - im in the UK and tons of UK facing content. I would like to see some videos on Roku as many do use it.

I use Chromecast, love it!

I’ve also noticed that sometimes when the firestick goes on sale the unit does NOT incl the power pack so it is actually not cheaper

You'll have to do a video on alternative devices. I always use a firestick because of the ease of use, but I'd love to know what's good and what's not

I have the Firestick 4K Max and an Android TV box. The A95X II, a really good box.

Also bought a jvc android TV and was very surprised as I was able to load my iptv app straight on to it via downloader

I have 3 fire cubes all bought on sale. Love the cubes.😃 Loved the Joke.

Yeah Adam? in the US the Max is selling for 34.99, The Lite for 19.99, 3rd gen for 24.99 and the Cube for 124.99. Here in the US devices and tv’s have remained first cheap. Food & rent haven’t however. I have a handful budget devices, The Onn Android & Google, The TiVo Stream 4K, The 3rd gen stick and 2nd gen stick.

I have noticed I have bought 35 firesticks over the last year and it was a sudden price rise not a slowly climbing up one it's ridiculous the cost of them now and yeah they go on sale but only 1 type at a time also you get limited to buying only 2 per customer

I have two fire tv 3rd gen pendants, an Nvidia Shield 2015, and three Google ADT-1’s, two running stock lollipop and the other pure nexus marshmallow. Really like the fire tv pendants but just ram into problem loading Sling TV. Won’t finish setup telling me internet needs to be checked, while all other apps work fine. Wish someone can come up with a way to get my Recast to work on the Shield too.

I have three 4k fire sticks, 2 Fire TVs (older). Main device is a Nvidia Shield. I got all devices when they were on sale

Can you please advise. My young grandson has a non smart tv in his room can I load his favourite movies on a Firestick so he can play them without him getting access to online material. Thank you.

I have a question. I want to buy a jailbroken firestick but idk if it will function as i should expect. Please lmk.

I bought 2 Fire Stick 4K Max's on on Monday 8th April, and I got them at a discounted price of £34 each. Mainly got it to stream TV for my parents but currently trying to put launchers to make it really easy for them to use

I have a Fire stick 4K Max. I bought it in Dec on sale. I'm in the US.

They'll all be back on offer, black Friday / daily deals etc. Same with the Echoes and Amazon tablets.

In the USA at several stores Target, Best Buy etc, 4K Max is on sale $34.99

i just bought a 4K Max Firestick for $29.99 in the US.. or buy a 65" Tosh Fire tv for £429 from Currys... Fab ! It has Cat 5 too so like a cube builtin..

I have used so many different types of boxes I found this to be the best. Beelink GT King 4K Media Player S922X Android 9.0 TV Box Wifi6 1000M Network Set top Box Mulit-Media Support TF Card HDD TVbox

Would love to see good alternatives to the amazon device's!!!

My firestick just quit on my, it had to be a first generation device. Now what do I replace it with?

I think you're totally correct! A bit like samsung, is amazon....better wait till a sale...

Yeah it only went up in the UK for now but I'm quite sure they will go up in the US

I just ordered and received 2 fire stick 4k max for $31.99 ea. Sounds like yall in the UK are getting hosed. Geeze... Great content and a fantastic dad joke. 👏 ❤ 💯 👍

Absolutely correct 👍 10 $ jump!

Can you tell me how to use the VPN stuff cause I have no clue Thank you

I have one fire stick but I'm Not using it with so many changes all the time its bothering me so my tv is an Android, I also have two android boxes, one has 8 years old and still running no problem.

Hi adam I've got 6 firesticks and 1 firecube and two roku sticks I hardly use!

sneaky ... thats kind haha i usually wait till i can get sticks on sale.. ive just had a cousin send me a couple of the new Walmart budget streamers onn googletv streamers and i have to say im very impressed with it , i reckon its nearly as good as 4kmax perhaps not quite...its fluid, nicer feeling remote has googletv interface and performs very well.. after couple weeks of use only negatives are no usb port but there's a workaround and can not find a way to turn off the screensaver 'yet'. under $20 that just over £15 if it was on sale here amazon would be losing tons of sales. highly recommended if you can get your hands on one in UK. shame they're not tied with Asda anymore thx for the video 👍🤪

Someone died from eating too much liquorice, people are dying from allsorts 😂😂😂

Totally screwed in the Rep of Ireland I'm a prime subscriber but when the Amazon devices are on sale they won't ship to the Rep of Ireland , total rip off priced at €76 🥴 4k max

I got two different streaming devises Apple TV 4K even tho I haven't got a iphone 😂 and a fire cube 3rd gen. I use both but I prefer the Apple TV 4K for better picture quality but fire cube is also good and at least ITVX don't stop as it does on the other devise.

Do you keep getting notifications about Amazon music even though I delete it still get them

I’ve got a Firestick 4K , I bought it a couple years ago when on offer at £28

I have android built into my Sony bravia tv so i just use that but i do have a windows 11 mini pc too.

At the local Tar-j , here in San Diego ca,they have them from around $20-$35, I bought mine like 4-5 years ago at $35, I was prepared to spend $50 , but my old one, just factory reset and its fine,so maybe GB is charging more, some prices though in GB, are shockingly low compared to ours for some things.

Me and a friend thought about the Firesticks... But, for multiple reasons, we went the 'Pure Android' route, Chromecast with Google TV - £45(New) each -eBay 😎🇬🇧

Right now, 5/11/23, in the US, the max is 34.99 and the lite is 29.99.(in Cincinnati, Ohio)

Mr Free Tech, just a quick heads up, Currys are knocking out the 4K Max for just under 40 quid right now. Got one last week.

I have all the types of fire sticks you can get including the cube the most i paid for the most expensive fire stick was £45 but that was before everything went up the cube i paid £110 it was £55 in the flash sale but i missed that sale so it is better to wait for the sales i even got 4 second gen sticks for £12 each(came in handy for xmas gifts) these high prices wont last not with cost of living just wait

Main box on LG TV, Buzz XRS4900 plus ,4K Firestick and Formula Z Neo on other TV ,Buzz is the best by far

Hi I have two firesticks 4kmax ,4k a Nvidia shield ,Only really use the firesticks for Dolby Atmos Music (Tidal and Amazon Music HD) 4kmax and shield are plugged directly into my AVR, if I could have a Amazon music app that plays Dolby Atmos music on the Nvidia, I'd give my fire sticks away, as fed up with secret menus, constant updates even though some are good, Looking for Apps for my Nvidia, use a well known Media Player at present, and PLEX works a dream,love your vids and jokes well done Adam

Great video and info mate thanks 👍 the 4k max was on offer on 8/5/ @ £38.99 and now £64.99 what 🐕💩
