Just buy the 4K fire stick Max..

Only if you get it free. Get the 4K if you’re buying.

It's literally like 20 bucks difference. Go 4k. Its not just the 4k that matters, it's the processor that runs the stick that will greatly reduce lag time in everything you do.

If you want to use it to watch Netflix or prime, it's fine. If you want to use it to watch iptv, no.

No it's very slow. Gets hot easily

No. You can pick up the latest generation sticks from $15 up to like $50 for the most expensive one. Spend $20-30 and get a 4k. It's worth it for something you'll use every day. Dumb to suffer with a slow device on a daily basis just to save $20.

NO. The performance is horrendous. Get a 4K Max. I don’t even think Amazon still supports that model. Even if they did, their newer OS just made it a lot worst.

I’m literally giving away my 1st Gen Firesticks and such to donation. I leave them outside in front of my house. Because… not my problem anymore.

Lites were on sale for $12 during prime day. Went ahead and bought 2 just to see. They are solid. I do recommend the 4k max generally but the lite has the same processor as the 4k (not max) and 1gb vs 2gb of ram.

I have one, it is virtually useless it is so slow. I would use it as a fishing lure or something. I have a 4k, not max. Works well. Rooted even.
