'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?

ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.

When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.

ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards.

Best Buy has some legitimately great deals on Amazon devices right now, including three Fire TV Sticks priced as low as they were during Prime Day. For a limited time, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max is now $35 (save $25), the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus is $25 (save $25), and the Fire TV Stick HD is only $20 (save $15).

I bought the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus at $25 during Prime Day last month, and it was (and still is) the lowest price we've ever seen this streaming device hit. Amazon Prime Day is a yearly shopping event where Amazon discounts many products, including its own devices, so seeing the same price from last Prime Day at Best Buy just bolsters the legitimacy of this deal.

As its name suggests, the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus supports 4K-resolution TVs, so you can stream 4K content on compatible TVs without issues. With 2GB of RAM, this streaming stick is really fast for the money, delivering snappier performance than my older Fire TV Sticks and even my Fire TV Series 4.
