Our take on the Amazon Fire TV Stick (3rd Gen)
The Fire TV Stick (3rd Gen) is Amazon's Full HD streaming dongle, plugging into an HDMI port and running the Fire OS app store with Alexa voice control through the included remote. It streams Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Prime Video, Spotify and Pandora, and has 8 GB of storage for apps. It is the older HD model, now well behind the 4K and 4K Max sticks. At $35 at eBay as of November 5, 2026, it sits near the bottom of its recent range, but it is close to what the newer HD stick often sells for.

Questions and answers
- Is the Fire TV Stick (3rd Gen) worth it in 2026?
- Only at a clear discount. It handles 1080p streaming fine, but the newer Fire TV Stick HD is faster and often costs about the same. Buy it if $35 at eBay as of November 5, 2026 is well below the newer model where you shop.
- Does it support 4K?
- No. The 3rd Gen stick tops out at 1080p Full HD with no HDR. For 4K you need the Fire TV Stick 4K or 4K Max.
- What is in the box?
- The stick, an Alexa voice remote, a USB power cable, a power adapter and an HDMI extender. You need an HDMI port and a Wi-Fi network.
- Do I need an Amazon Prime membership?
- No. Prime Video is one app among many, and Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Spotify and Pandora work without Prime. An Amazon account is needed to set it up.
- Can I add storage or use Ethernet?
- Storage is fixed at 8 GB with no card slot. Ethernet works only through a separate USB adapter, since the stick connects over Wi-Fi.
- When is it cheapest?
- Fire TV sticks drop hardest during Prime Day and Black Friday. At $35 at eBay as of November 5, 2026 it is already near its low, so waiting mainly helps if you want the newer model instead.
