Underpowered, slow, niche Tablet. Most other tablets on the market are better for most folks.
But, if you have someone who is hard on electronics, the 2-year worry free warranty is a lifesaver.
- Accepts SD card.
- Comes with a year of Amazon Kids+ (which would be $5.99/mo if paid monthly)
- Two year no hassle warranty against ANYTHING. They honor it with cracked screens or serious abuse. You name it. I have done this more than once, no problems. This is the big differentiator from other tablets on the market.
- 7" model is more durable than models with larger screens. Yes, the larger screens still have the worry-free warranty, but you still don't want to break it.
On sale now for $64.99, with an additional 20% off if you trade in something, plus the trade in value. Amazon will check what purchases you have made the qualify for trade and make suggestions.
I had a Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Keyboard, and Echo Dot that qualified. I traded the Paperwhite for $5 trade-in value, so total was:
Item(s) Subtotal: $64.99
Shipping & Handling: $0.00
Tablet Trade-In: -$13.00
Total before tax: $51.99
Estimated tax to be collected: $3.64
Gift Card Amount: -$5.00 (not sure why the Kindle trade is listed as a gift card, but it is)

- Amazon doesn't do OS upgrades on this. Occasional patches are all you get.
- 16gb is enough if you have an SD card to store extra apps and video. Without the SD card, you'll have to delete apps for the kid frequently - they will download too much.
- It's a cheap kids tablet. The value isn't the hardware - it's the warranty, kid oriented OS, parental control, and Kids+. If you don't use those things, there is no reason to have this tablet.
- The more expensive 8" and 10" models are more powerful, but much easier to break. Yes, you have the warranty, but a broken tablet is still an annoying hassle.
- I have two, so I have a backup to use if one breaks and I have to wait on a replacement from Amazon.
I've had these for years. The newer models like this one are harder to jailbreak. Don't assume you will be able to use this in a way it wasn't intended. I can't do Nova launcher anymore.
