The Amazon Fire TV Stick HD sale has cut the newest model to $19.99, with NBC Select reporting the streaming device is now 43% off its $34.99 list price at Amazon, Target and Best Buy.
NBC Select commerce editor Bethany Heitman reported that the deal marks the device’s lowest price ever. The shopping site also reported that more than 10,000 people have bought the streaming stick in the past month.
The device is Amazon’s latest version of its popular Fire TV streaming stick, according to NBC Select. It plugs into a television’s HDMI port and is built to add streaming apps, free ad-supported channels and voice search to a TV setup.
What does the Amazon Fire TV Stick HD do?
The Fire TV Stick HD turns a TV with an HDMI port into a streaming hub, giving viewers access to apps, movies, shows and live-style free streaming services through Amazon’s Fire TV interface. NBC Select reported that it supports 1080p Full HD streaming and includes Wi-Fi 6 support for steadier streaming on busy home networks.
According to NBC Select, the stick offers access to thousands of apps and more than a million free movies and TV episodes. Major services listed as preinstalled include Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+, Max, Hulu, Peacock, Apple TV+ and YouTube.
Free ad-supported options are also included in the setup. NBC Select named Tubi, Pluto TV and Freevee among the available services.
Where is the Fire TV Stick HD $19.99?
NBC Select listed the Fire TV Stick HD at $19.99 at three retailers: Amazon, Target and Best Buy. Each listing showed the same $34.99 original price and the same 43% discount.
- Amazon: $19.99, down from $34.99
- Target: $19.99, down from $34.99
- Best Buy: $19.99, down from $34.99
The sale price puts the streaming stick under $20 before any taxes or shipping costs that may apply at checkout.
What comes with the newest Fire TV Stick HD?
NBC Select reported that the model comes with an Alexa-enabled remote. The remote can be used to control TV power and volume, search across apps by voice and access Alexa+ for more personalized recommendations.
The stick has also been redesigned with a thinner body. NBC Select reported that the latest Fire TV Stick HD is about 30% slimmer than earlier models, making it easier to place behind wall-mounted TVs without an HDMI extension cable.
Another tidy-TV perk: NBC Select said the device can run power from a TV’s USB port, which means it does not need a separate wall adapter in that setup. The report said setup takes only a few minutes.
For shoppers comparing streaming gadgets, the deal is pitched around three basics: a $19.99 price, an included Alexa remote and broad app access. At 43% off, NBC Select’s report frames the newest Fire TV Stick HD as a budget-friendly way to upgrade an older television without replacing the screen.
