Another highly useful feature is the included Alexa Voice remote. Our testing found the voice-search functionality to be a little spotty — Alexa struggles to understand thick regional accents — but being able to control your entire TV with just your vocal cords is pretty convenient. And the tactile clicky buttons on the remote are always there if you’d rather scroll through streaming service libraries the old-fashioned way. As for the regular, non-Max model, it also supports 4K video streaming. The performance isn’t quite as fast as the Max, but it’s also cheaper. As we note in our Fire TV Stick 4K review, it does a good job of balancing functionality, price and performance.
