'Responsive' Fire TV Stick for 'smooth streaming' drops to £4.57 but not for long "Performance is responsive for everyday streaming, and I've had no problems with buffering or reliability" Amazon shoppers are snapping up a Fire TV Stick below £5 as the Prime Day flurry continues, but it's not a straight deal. The retail giant's sale has knocked the price, but following a lesser-known deal, a stack cuts the already hefty discount on the Amazon Fire TV Stick HD. The popular streaming device has been slashed from £59.99 to £19.99, but savvy shoppers can cut the price even further by purchasing through TopCashback. After signing up for a free account with the deals website, new members will pocket a £15 bonus when spending £15 or more. Combined, these two savings bring the Fire TV Stick down to just £4.57 after cashback, that's a huge £55.42 off the original price. It's worth noting that this offer is exclusively available to new TopCashback members, while existing members will pay £19.57 after cashback.

Nevertheless, the majority of shoppers have gone for the HD model, which currently sits as the second-best-selling Amazon device, behind only the Ring Battery Video Doorbell and Ring Indoor Camera bundle (£39.99, was £59.98). The nifty streaming stick plugs straight into a TV's HDMI port, unlocking a vast library of films and series across streaming platforms including Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video and Apple TV. It effectively turns any standard television into a smart TV, with no need for a satellite dish or aerial, reports the Express.

Amazon claims the Fire TV Stick HD is the 'fastest ever' with a revamped interface enabling users to locate content more quickly, then stream in up to 1080p Full HD with Dolby-encoded audio. What else can be accessed on the Fire TV Stick HD? Besides TV shows and films, gaming enthusiasts can tap into a catalogue of video games via Amazon Luna and Xbox Game Pass, with other notable features including WiFi 6 compatibility, 8GB of storage and an Alexa voice remote. Amazon faces competition in the streaming stick space, including from the Roku HD Streaming Stick. This device can deliver the same content across major streaming platforms but carries a steeper £29.99 price point. Meanwhile, TV content and streaming come integrated into Sky Glass TVs, which require no extra equipment to operate. These WiFi-enabled smart TVs include channels and bundled Netflix access from £7 when spreading the cost for the slimmer Sky Glass Air.

'Responsive' on TV interface Our own tech team has recommended the nifty plug-in devices for years, as a solution for ditching pricey integrated smart TV sets, and we're not the only ones to back the devices. The newest HD model has an average rating of 4.1 stars at Amazon. One user highlighted its quick speeds, and said: "It was a good price, easy to set up and getting it connected to the TV didn't take long at all. The remote is responsive, and the Netflix, Disney+ and YouTube buttons are especially handy. Everything has worked well so far, and streaming is smooth." Another user explained how the interface is easy to use: "I've used Fire TV Sticks for years, and this HD version does exactly what I need it to. Setup is quick and straightforward, the interface is easy to navigate, and all the main streaming apps I use are available in one place. Performance is responsive for everyday streaming, and I've had no problems with buffering or reliability." Some buyers took issue with the length of the cable, as this three-star review highlights: "The power cable is very short with no plug, so you either have to buy a longer cable and plug or buy an HDMI extension." While another delighted purchaser said: "Such a great, clever device. It's turned my old TVs into smart TVs. Instantly connects to my Alexa profile, connects to the TV via the HDMI port and is then able to control the volume using the TV's pre-existing interface and has everything we need - including saving us money buying a new up-to-date TV."
