What is it?
Stop everything: Amazon just dropped a killer deal on the mega-popular Fire TV Stick Lite — it’s down to a ridiculous $18, from $30. The brilliant streaming gizmo syncs with your Wi-Fi to give you access to a boatload of goodness, including Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Disney+, Prime Video, Peacock, HBO Max, Starz and Showtime. Between that smorgasbord of viewing options and the Fire TV Stick’s interactive settings — such as pop-up results for actor and director names via IMDb — you might be tempted to ditch cable for good.

Easy as pie: Plug it into one of your TV’s HDMI ports and it’ll search for your home’s Wi-Fi network and wait for you to log in. Once you’re signed in, you’ll gain access to hundreds of streaming apps and channels.
Why is this a good deal?
The Fire TV Stick adds a ton of features to a TV at a low cost, and this is one of the lowest prices we’ve seen this year. The only time it dropped lower was last year’s Black Friday.
Why do I need this?
If you have an older TV or just don’t like the video-streaming settings that came with your set, you need the Fire TV Stick Lite.
The Fire TV Stick Lite is the same as the standard Fire TV Stick, but with a different remote. It still comes with Alexa voice assistant for voice search, hands-free navigation and instant access to news, weather and sports scores.
At just $18, the Fire TV Stick Lite is one of the best video-streaming devices out there — grab it at this price while you can.
What reviewers say
This thing is beyond popular. Over 41,000 reviewers have bestowed a five-star rating on it. “I love my Fire Stick. It is easy to install and operate,” said one fan.
“The Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite is a total game-changer. HD streaming with access to free and live TV has transformed my entertainment experience,” wrote another. “The Alexa Voice Remote Lite makes navigation a breeze, and the added smart home controls are a fantastic bonus. This stick offers incredible value for its price — a must-have for upgrading any TV setup!”
One shopper said, “I love the clean and sleek design. It’s also really handy to have the Prime button and the movie buttons. Alexa works great and is very fast! It was really easy to set up and works perfectly. The only downside is that it can’t turn up or down my TV volume.”
