Pros 👍

• Easy to navigate

• User-friendly interface

• Small and compact

• Easy to set up

• Voice control is convenient

• Quick app buttons speed search up

If I can confidently recommend any product to you, it's this Fire TV Stick. I have multiple in my household (yes, it may seem excessive, but we just love them that much).

They're convenient, easy to use and have a top-tier interface. I love how effortless it is to search for shows, movies, apps, songs and even specific YouTube videos with the Alexa voice function and quick app buttons. It's super helpful when it comes to accessibility, which we appreciate in my household.

Navigating everything is pretty straightforward, from apps to settings. It's also painless to set up, and that's something I value in a tech product. All you have to do is plug two things in, and you're good to go!

I also prefer how small it is — who wants a big remote anymore? Not me!

Cons 👎

• Sometimes slow/laggy

• Gets lost easily (I might be the problem)

This product definitely has more pros than cons for me and everyone in my house; however, it's not entirely flawless.

While I do love how small it is, I will say I often lose these little remotes. That might entirely be a me-problem, but I figured it'd be something to note. So, be sure to make a mental note of where you last left it — and don't let it get lost in the depths of your couch.

The biggest downside that I've noticed is that it can be laggy when searching on the homepage, which can get annoying. It's nothing that would stop me from purchasing another, though (clearly).

Final thoughts

If you're in the market for a new streaming device or want to upgrade your old Fire TV Stick, this 50 per cent off Boxing Day deal is totally worth it. I am obsessed with my streaming stick, and I really appreciate the experience it offers.

As most shoppers say, it's easy to use and a breeze to navigate. While it can get laggy at times or require some reboots, it's not something that deters me from the product — but that's just me! At just $25, you can't really go wrong.
