AN Amazon Fire TV Stick user has revealed a money-saving trick for anyone looking to upgrade their device.

The online retailer routinely releases brand new versions with improved tech every couple of years or so.

And while you may not want to part ways with your existing Fire TV Stick just yet, some who made the leap say it was worthwhile for the big performance boost.

This is especially the case if you’re suffering with a bad Wi-Fi connection.

One bargain hunter also reveals a way to upgrade without paying the full price.

They decided to go for the Fire TV Stick 4K Max, which not only has more storage but supports Wi-Fi 6E for smoother 4K streaming.

“I just upgraded my two older fire sticks, which were in difficult Wi-Fi locations, and I could not believe the difference,” the person wrote on Reddit.

“What I had thought was predominantly a Wi-Fi issue was actually mostly just an older slow processor issue along with the bloat over time of the OS and the few apps that I use.”

Save money on an upgrade

There are some tricks to get a bit of money off your next Fire TV Stick too.

Firstly, you could opt for a refurbished device which is officially certified by Amazon.

The retailer offers this for a number of gadgets.

All products have been professionally inspected and Amazon says they are “tested and cleaned by Amazon-qualified suppliers”.

You also get one year’s guarantee.

For example, the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max costs £57.99 instead of £69.99 when you get a refurb.

Another money saving hack is to trade-in your old Fire Stick.

You get an Amazon Gift Card and 20 per cent off a brand new one.
