When on a sale, the 4K Max is cheap enough for use as a secondary streaming device. No way am I going to spend $130 to $150 on a second Apple TV, for just occasional use on an alternate screen. And at least the Max is snappy enough — definitely not as good as the Apple TV, but good enough for the price. If you know what you want to watch, just simply ignore the ads, and navigate directly to the app of choice and you're good to go. The biggest problem with ads on many streaming sticks is not the ad itself, but that the ads take up processing power, making navigation sluggish.
I also have the Chromecast with Google TV 4K, that I use on our second TV (which barely gets used). That device is a few years old now does feel slightly more sluggish compared to the Fire TV 4K Max. But it's not that big a difference, and the overall experience is otherwise quite similar between the two.
Like another commenter said, amongst the options in sale, get the Max version — it's just $5 more and will be much snappier; something you'll appreciate even if you don't need 4K.
I gotta say I'm just realizing how much I hate it... There is a ton of ads on the homescreen and they let you add only 5 or 6 of your apps to the homescreen bc they wanna use the rest of the screen for the countless ads and pushing you 'Free' content from Freeve that has 55 ads per episode. To reach the rest of your apps, you must press at least 10 buttons. There is no customization option to change this - cannot add more of your apps to homescreen than they intended (5-6)
Another thing, I have ParamountPlus and if you search for a movie that is on P+, Fire os will push you to sign up for 7-day trial through Paramount channel on Prime as default option instead of redirecting you to P+ app that you have... If you are not vigilant enough you might end up in the trap
Not to mention, these sticks freeze if you use VPN. Got the 2nd gen Max version hoping it will help with the lag, it didnt.
Not trashing the deal, it is as low as they get these days, exvept maybe Prime Day, but do your research and beware of the limitations of the system

Additional hint for Apple TV users — if you download the Infuse app on Apple TV (it's not free; it's a subscription based app, but you can buy a lifetime license), the app will play pretty much any format natively (without need for any transcoding). The app doesn't rely on the device's in-built codecs like most other apps. The developers instead purchase codecs directly and package them within the app. I used to keep the NVidia Shield around just for Kodi, but I sold it once I moved to Infuse.

I'll have to stick to Android. That said, I'm done with Fire OS. Not sure how Google's new tv box is with respect to ads and home screen customization
I did the "jail break" years ago and have free paid content ie ufc PPV / HBO.

No, the 20% offer comes back eventually, if you use it. Though it may take some months. I've bought a couple Fire devices using the trade-in offer, and it's back again now. Used to be better and they'd give you 20% off the list price. Now it's only 20% off after any other discounts.
