Amazon Fire TV 32" 2-Series (newest model), HD smart TV + 4-year protection plan

Editing my review from two stars to 5 stars. Very impressive that Amazon actually reads these reviews and seriously cares about how we like their products. Since I posted the original review a very nice, very knowledgeable, tech support lady called me to work my problem of Apps not loading or playing on my FireTV. Basically it boiled down to my new TV needing a software update. I absolutely thought this TV was plug and play, but it wasn't. Just like with any new device I guess everything needs a software update to work properly. The wonderful tech support lady was on the phone with me over an hour, she step by step walked me through everything. We updated all the software and now my FireTV works PERFECT! All my news Apps and weather apps load without a problem. The TV is no longer sluggish. It's all fast and Perfect! So, the next FireTV I order, and there will be more because this is an excellent value for the price, I will know to update the software before logging in or loading any apps! Thank you Amazon for truly caring about your customers 😊 Seriously hate this TV. It's been a HUGE source of frustration for 3 weeks, ever since I hung it on my wall. The picture is great. Sound is great. Remote is great, but the operating system is awful. It WILL NOT load certain Apps, mainly Fox News and Fox Weather and other Apps are sluggish. I know it's not a problem with the App because when I tested them on our living room TV (different brand with Roku hooked up) at the same time, they load perfectly, so I know it's just this TV. I LOVE Amazon and really wanted to love this TV, but I just don't. Daily I have to end up clearing my caches for all the Apps and unplugging the TV for one minute to reset the TV, if I want to watch either of those two Apps. Super frustrating. I still have about another week to return this TV, but I'm concerned if I order another one will I have the exact same problem? If anyone at Amazon Tech support has any ideas why just these two Apps will not load please reach out to me!

Once again an additional to my review Feb 2026 - Well if you read below I had some troubles and it got bad real bad - volume changes at random - at times we were watching 1 channel and hearing 2 - So I solved it - The problems I was having was the remote not the TV - and yes I had tried new batteries in the remote many times- However since I have 3 fire tvs I have 3 remotes so finally “dah” I tried a different remote!!! All this bs was the remote not the TV - I bumped it up to a 5 - why after over a year of BS - Well it’s a good TV - Been a week and no issues with the other remote- So maybe the remote was bad from the get go ? Or did we get some water on it ? Well I am one remote short now - but We do not watch 3 TVs at the same time either- Hope this helps - Additional comment added Jan 9 2026 - I think I am being unfair a bit in the review below as we have 2 other fire tvs and they do not seem to have the same issue- We actually bought 3 fire tvs - 2 reasons the price was good - and we trusted the brand name - Let’s go with the positives picture is great - the TVs are very light weight- and the sound is good. Also I monitor power on all our devices- the tv draws less power for its size! I have not compared this to the 100’s of TVs out there - but its power consumption for its size is lower than other brands we have. That’s a win. So why not a 5 star? Here are the complaints we have - which are relatively minor but annoying. From switching from channel to channel- the volume changes considerably. Our other brand tvs do not seem to do this. Occasionally the tv goes dark - the fix is turn it off and on again- this has happened rarely, but happens. I am not sure if it’s the remote or tv but while adjusting the volume up it keeps going to 100%. I cannot get it to go back down until it reaches 100% - this also happens rarely but happens - maybe we got a lemon not sure. Hope this helps-

I love the fact that I can connect my Bluetooth earbuds to the TV so I can watch TV anytime without disturbing anyone when they're sleeping. That was what sold me on this particular brand. I've only had it for a few days but so far I've got no complaints. It was super easy to set up and get started, I've been able to download all of my streaming apps, no screen damage, no lag, overall it's a great TV for a super low price. I highly recommend

I needed a new TV because the one we had in the bedroom started to go dark on the left side and finally died. The settings were on the left side! We had to watch TV in the dark. It was a 43" dinosaur. I chose the Amazon Fire TV because we have one in the den, and the format is the same. It is confusing enough going between the "big" cable remote to the "little" smart TV app remote control and navigating to the right input. I like the smaller size in the bedroom. I don't need to feel like we're at a drive-in movie. This TV is very light, and the picture is crisp and clear. The price was great. I would have given it an easy 5 or even six, except for two problems. The "legs" on the TV were impossible to attach. The TV was unstable and tilted forward. I had to use my screws after struggling for an hour. Here I was, all excited to set up our new TV, and it was precariously tilted forward. The next issue I had was setting up. I am a long-time Prime member, and I had to sign in, but I forgot my password. There is a process of scanning, and I was switching between my phone and PC. Finally! And there is my husband's favorite program on Pluto but I have to download and sign in, verify, etc. I only want to watch TV. This felt more like a house closing! Two rooms away, I have this TV's big Momma. I am looking forward to enjoying our new TV once it is all set up and customised for what Fire TV calls our "stuff".
