Many of us will have some extra time to binge our favorite TV shows later this week, so now’s a great time to get a streaming device so you’re ready to soak in The Mandalorian, Queen’s Gambit and, if you still haven’t seen it, Mythic Quest. Amazon is making that a little easier this week with some deals on Amazon Fire TV gadgets. They’re not Black Friday-caliber deals, but you can save up to $20 right now on a Fire TV Cube or Fire TV Stick 4K.

The Fire TV Cube is more or less what you expect — it streams a huge amount of content 4K and HDR — but also includes Alexa for hands-free control. Read CNET’s Fire TV Cube review to learn more. Here’s the short version: “The Amazon Fire TV Cube’s well-designed voice controls make it a superb alternative to a standard universal remote, especially for simpler systems.”
This 2018 release of the Fire TV Stick 4K is a good value at its regular price, and even better at $40 (though is is not even close to the lowest price ever). You can read CNET’s full review of the Fire TV Stick 4K for details, but here’s the 411: It has best-in-class voice-control features, better streaming service support than any other player in its price range, and the video quality is first rate. The only real complaint? Amazon hawks its own content a little too hard.
