Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

It really kills me to write this, but Amazon really dropped the ball big time with this one. My problems with this device are all hardware and design based. I had no issues with set up or software, as I've read some others have had. Here's a quick recap of why this device is terrible: 1- the HDMI cable is stupid short. It literally dangles off your tv if you use a side HDMI port, like I do. It looks bad and just feels bad. Plus, in my case, the power outlet was on the other side of the room. No problem with my previous FireTV but because the HDMI cable is so short... dig out those extension cords. Just messy. 2- No SD card port. Makes it VERY limited on space for apps, etc. STUPID move, Amazon. 3- WiFi ONLY unless you pay for an extra adapter for $15. Sorry, but I'm not paying more money to add something that never should have been removed in the first place. Because this edition is WiFi only, the picture is awful. I mean, awful. Think VHS compared to Blu Ray. I have a good WiFi network, fast speed, and 4k looked atrocious. I hooked up my previous FireTV and was amazed at how much better the quality was. I'm not sure if its a WiFi thing or not, but for things like streaming and gaming, I prefer hardwired connections to get better, more stable speeds. And again, I'm not paying extra $ to find out if this device will perform better hardwired or not. I already had the design and tiny HDMI cable. I got this device thinking the picture quality might be better than the previous edition, which has a great picture on my 4K TV. I was so, so wrong. Unfortunately, I WILL be returning this device and sticking with the previous edition which specs aside is far superior in nearly every factor.
