Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Refurbished - This appears to be official Amazon refurbished, not a third party refurbish. That means it looks and function's like new with the official accessories that come with a new device. If the box didn't say refurbished, I wouldn't have known! Pros 1.) Price - If you catch this on sale, it's less expensive than a 7 Inch fire! Not on sale, it's less expensive than most generic tablets. Price is wonderful 2.) Screen - Bright and Vibrant! Great for media and movies. 3.) Easy setup - Was up and running in under 5 minutes, that includes the updates! Like previous fire tablets, setup was a breeze! 4.) Great for Amazon content! 5.) Durable - Yes it's made of plastic but that's also what makes it so durable! The thin aluminum of iPads bends. The glass back on other tablets break. And so on! I've never broke a fire tablet and I've had plenty! I'm hard on them and beat them up, but don't break. I replace when they get pretty beat up because they are so inexpensive 6.) Works well with Hulu, YouTube, Netflix, HBO and plenty of other media apps 7.) Great for reading magazines! 8.) Good battery life! Cons 1.) Sluggish - These have always been a little sluggish but keep in mind their price. Yes, I'd love to replace my old HDX tablet, but I don't see that happening.. Amazon has found a sweet spot with these inexpensive tablets Tips 1.) Google Play - While Google Play store isn't installed, it can be.. even better, there are other third party app stores that install even easier. No rooting or advanced setup required! One example of a third lartyt store is apkpure. Works great! 2.) Ads can be turned off for a small fee. They however don't bother me Overall - very happy with this tablet and no regrets buying it refurbished! It works well and is essentially brand new!
