Buy this model instead of the new model
I've been using cheap streaming sticks and boxes for a while and just got tired of them, the performance just starts falling up to the point that they become unusable. I already had a Nvidia Shield that I bought in 2017 and has been a fantastic device, I was looking at a cheaper alternative with about the same or similar specs and found this jewel. The Fire TV Cube has very impressive specs with a 6 core CPU, 2BG of RAM and decent storage size of 16GB. The specs are almost identical to the new 2022 model so save your money and buy this one instead.
I mostly use Sling, Netflix, HDHomerun, Plex, Disney+, Prime Video and HBO Max. Every single one of those apps performs excellent. There is no lag while scrolling through the guide on Sling and channel switching is very responsive and smooth. The other apps I've mentioned also perform as they should. My only complain would be the amount of Prime Video ads in the home screen. It's something that you cannot change but after a while you just get used to it.
Overall a great streaming box for the average consumer with some high performance if you need that extra power.
