Pick up the Amazon Fire TV Stick HD for only $18 in this Prime Day deal

The Amazon Fire TV Stick HD is available for just $18 as part of the Prime Day festivities. That's 49 percent off, as it typically costs $35. This is a record-low price.

The stick made our list of the best streaming devices, and we particularly recommend it for those on a budget. It just gets the job done. The Fire TV Stick HD is easy to set up and provides access to all of the major streaming platforms. It streams content at 1080p and the UI is simple enough to grasp immediately.

It also comes with an updated remote control, which is the same remote that comes with Fire TVs. It allows for voice control, so you can simply ask it to look for something to watch and let Alexa do the rest. It can also control the power and volume on the TV, which is something previous Fire Stick remotes couldn't do.

The one caveat is right there in the name. This is a stick that supports HD content and cannot stream in 4K. That could be a dealbreaker for some, though the price is most certainly right. If you absolutely must have that 4K magic on your set, consider the Fire TV Stick 4K Max, Amazon's most powerful streaming dongle. It's on sale now as well for only $35.
