Our favorite budget streaming stick drops to only $20 for Memorial Day

The popular Amazon Fire Stick HD is on sale for $20 as part of a Memorial Day promotion. This is a discount of 43 percent, as the usual price is $35.

This particular stick made our list of the best streaming devices, and we particularly recommend it for the budget-conscious. The Fire Stick HD supports 1080p streaming at 60 FPS and includes an Amazon remote that can control the power and volume on the actual TV. This is something the previous iteration, the Fire TV Stick Lite, couldn't do. The days of having to navigate multiple remotes are over.

The remote also integrates with Alexa for voice control. Amazon's Fire TV interface supports all of the major streaming services, including Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu and all the rest. The Fire TV Stick HD ships with the updated interface that includes user profiles and a simpler UI.

On the downside, this is a streaming stick for HD content. It cannot stream stuff in 4K. Also, Amazon's interface is heavy on the ads, especially when compared to rival platforms. Still, the price is right. We enjoyed this streaming stick at the original cost, so we definitely recommend it at $20. Amazon's Fire TV Stick 4K Max is also on sale for $40, which is a discount of 33 percent.
