There’s no shortage of great shows and movies to watch, but discovering something new isn’t always easy. Amazon’s Fire TV Stick 4K Plus and Fire TV Stick 4K Max come with redesigned software that aims to make it easier to finding something you’ll like, and both 4K-ready streaming sticks are back to their lowest prices to date. The Fire TV Stick 4K Max, Amazon’s fastest, most feature-packed stick, is $34.99 ($25 off) at Best Buy and Target, while the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus with fewer capabilities is on sale for $24.99 ($25 off) at Best Buy and Target.

As for what distinguishes the Fire TV Stick 4K Max, it offers double the internal storage (16GB) and supports Wi-Fi 6E versus Wi-Fi 6 in the Plus. It’s also the only streaming stick in the lineup that supports the Fire TV Ambient Experience, which turns your TV into a smart display, of sorts, that can showcase artwork and Alexa widgets, like your calendar or sticky notes, when you’re not streaming.
Core specs aside, the two streaming sticks have a lot in common, including support Dolby Vision and HDR10 Plus, plus Dolby Atmos audio if your sound system is compatible with the feature. They run Amazon’s updated Fire TV experience, which pulls in recommendations from across your streaming subscriptions, organizes content into dedicated hubs for TV shows, sports, and more, and lets you pin up to 20 favorite apps.
What’s more, they both have deep Alexa Plus integration, allowing you to launch content from specific streaming services, or search for specific scenes, with just your voice. Additionally, you can summon Alexa to control compatible smart home devices, or to display a live feed from your connected Ring cameras on the TV.
Three more Verge-approved deals
- Anker’s Zolo Power Bank (10,000mAh, 30W) is on sale for $21.99 at Amazon and directly from Anker with code- WS7DV2RPFIPT, matching its best price of the year. I own the power bank and it fits easily in my purse. While I wish it were a little lighter, it’s still portable enough to carry often. Its 30W output tops up my iPhone quickly, and the built-in 5.4-inch cable that doubles as a carrying hook is as convenient as it sounds.
- You can buy the Eufy Robot Vacuum Omni C20directly from Eufy for an all-time low of $329.99 ($370 off) with codeWS24T2280, or get it Amazon for $10 more. The robot vacuum and mop combo can remove cleaning the floors from your chore list. It can clean, automatically empty its dustbin when full, wash and dry its mop pads, and refill its water tank without intervention. It offers 7,000Pa of suction along with a rolling brush, a side brush, and a “pro-detangle comb,” allowing it to pick up everything from dirt and debris to pet hair.
- The new Xgimi Elfin Flip Laseris down to $719.10 ($80 off) at Amazon, which is its first discount. The portable 1080p projector improves on its predecessor with a triple-laser light source that delivers up to 1,600 ISO lumens, resulting in a brighter image quality (the Elfin Flip Plus tops out at just 500 ISO lumens). It also supports HDR10, while its Google TV software gives you access to popular streaming services. Plus, you can use Google Cast to easily beam content from your phones to the projector.
