Which Amazon Fire TV device should I buy?

Our hands-down recommendation is the Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite. 

Pros

Extremely low cost: Normally costs around $30, and Amazon regularly runs sales that bring the price down even further.

Alexa voice control is built in.

Cons

This Fire TV Stick doesn't have TV controls (meaning you may need your TV remote to turn the TV on/off or change inputs), but this typically isn’t an issue if the TV is primarily used for your menu.

Here are the Fire TV Stick models we recommend for BeerMenus TV menus:

These devices are reliable, fully supported, and work well for displaying BeerMenus TV menus.

Note: We cannot support Fire TV devices running Amazon’s Vega OS, including the Fire TV Stick Select. These devices may not support the BeerMenus app or may have inconsistent performance.

Performance Note

While higher-end models (like the 4K and 4K Max) offer faster performance, that added power doesn’t significantly impact the TV Menu experience. These upgrades are primarily designed for streaming video content, which isn’t the primary use case here.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Fire TV Sticks do I need?

You need one Fire TV Stick for each TV you want to display your menu on.

For example, if you want to show your menu in both the bar and the dining room, you’ll need two devices.

I already have a Fire TV Stick. Do I need to buy a new one?

No. If your existing Fire TV Stick is not running Vega OS, it should work perfectly well.

I have a TV with Amazon Fire TV built in. Do I need to purchase a Fire TV Stick?

No. As long as your TV can access the Fire TV app store and is not running Vega OS, you can use it to run your BeerMenus TV menus.
