“This is my fourth Fire Stick. The new Max with extra ram and storage is needed. Fast reliable. Great for TVs that have a slow operating system or dodgy remote. Install the Fire Stick and away you go,” one customer said.

“I have one in the garage when I am tinkering around and have Spotify or YouTube playing.

“I don’t watch regular free to air much so the Max does the trick for me.”
