- Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2025Configuration: Fire TV CubeVerified PurchaseWhy have an Echo Show AND a Fire TV Stick when you can just get this all-in-one powerhouse? The Fire TV Cube is super responsive, snappy, and actually useful—especially when playing Pandora, controlling my home theater, or just searching for something to watch.
What I Love:
✔ Fast & Snappy – No lag, no waiting, just instant responses.
✔ Ethernet for Maximum Bandwidth – I hardwired mine because I want the best possible speed, especially for watching movies on Channels DVR, Plex (H.265 FTW), and all my streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime (obviously), Paramount+, etc.
✔ Channels DVR is Perfect on This – I can watch all my local channels from this and every other Fire TV in my house. No more cable TV for me! No more crazy monthly fees and price hikes!
✔ Controls My Onkyo Surround Receiver – Just change the settings so your remote sends IR signals instead of the Cube. Works like a charm.
✔ The Blue Light is Straight Out of Classic Sci-Fi – When you talk to it (or the remote, because yes, you can talk to the remote too), the blue light moves back and forth just like the Cylons from Battlestar Galactica or KITT from Knight Rider. (Wow, I’m really aging myself here… or maybe I just watch too much TV?)
The Annoying Part:
🔹 Amazon blocks most apps from moving to external storage – Why, Amazon?! Let me use my flash drive!
🔹 The Included Remote is Lame – Upgrade to a better one ASAP. The stock remote feels cheap, so I keep it as a backup.
Final Verdict:
This is by far the best Fire TV device, and if you're cutting the cord, it's a perfect choice. Whether you’re using Netflix, Prime Video, Paramount+, or Plex, this thing handles it all.
If you want a fast, powerful, and voice-controlled streaming device, this is the one to get. Plus, let’s be real—who doesn’t want a tiny sci-fi robot light on their entertainment center? 😆📺🔥

- Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2023Configuration: Fire TV CubeVerified PurchaseI own 2 Fire TV Cubes 2nd Gen, 1 Fire TV Cube 1st gen, 1 Fire TV Max, 3 Fire TV 4K Sticks, 1 Omni Fire TV and 1 Insignia Fire TV. To say that I am invested in the Fire TV Echo System is an understatement. I can state that the Fire TV Cube 3rd Gen is by far the best of the Fire TV's sold by Amazon. I replaced one of my 2nd Gen Fire TV Cubes and the set up was super easy with integration to my Wifi and downloading of already owned apps a breeze. (setting up the passwords for all the apps continues to be a pain and took a long time to do). The aesthetics of this Fire TV is the best of the lot, it looks really premium. The interface is the same as the others however, the speed of navigation is fantastic. It is really fast making it a real joy to use. The Wifi 6E is supported however I can't tell the difference in the speed, but I can tell you that application buffering is really almost non existent. I have a T-Mobile 5G Gateway that averages 306 Mbs and supports wifi 6E, so perhaps that does make a difference. I have this cube attached to an LG 4K 65 inch TV and use a Yamaha 800 sound bar (attached via an optical cable). My Fire TV also controls a Sony DVD player, and Sony Playstation. I can switch between all HDMI inputs with no problem by voice. I do think that the 3rd gen cube produces a better sound quality through my Yamaha sound bar since it does support a wider range of output. Alexa works flawlessly as well, so no complaints. . So my net net is 1) Really fast performance, 2) better sound quality, 3) looks like a premium streaming device with the cloth enclosure, 4) very nice upgraded remote, 5) Alexa works great at controlling my TV and Sound Bar, 6) Integrated IN and OUT HDMI connectivity ports (which I don't use). My only negative is that one of the hot key's on the remote is Direct TV, which I would never use and would love to be able to change it. Also for the price, Amazon should have included the premium remote (backlit) with this Fire TV.
I would recommend this Fire TV Cube 3rd Gen for your main viewing area over all other Fire TVs. I would buy this on sale vs. the list price. I was able to purchase this Cube for $119 plus my trade in. In my book speed is king and this Fire TV will not disappoint you. I am confident that I will be using this Fire TV for the next 5 years minimum.
