Amazon sale sees Fire TV Sticks and tablets fall up to £70
Amazon has unveiled a fresh round of deals across its own-brand devices including the Fire TV Stick and Fire tablets with savings of £70 up for grabs on select models
Amazon has been quietly cutting prices across its own-brand range of tech, with plenty of discounts up for grabs on Fire TV Sticks and Fire tablets. There's discounts on every model of the retail giant's flagship streaming stick, including the Fire TV Stick 4K Max and its 'most powerful' tablet, the Fire Max 11.
We've also spotted a handful of deals on Echo speakers including the latest Echo Pop and Echo Dot Kids, which are down to £29.99 and £44.99 respectively. But in today's edition of Top Tech, we're focusing on a selection of price drops across the Fire TV Stick and Fire tablet range.
There's savings of up to £70 on offer for those on the hunt for the best pay day deal, with options suited for any budget. However, Amazon has not confirmed for how long the deals will be sticking around.
So read on for our round up of the latest deals on Amazon devices before they're gone.
Amazon Fire TV Sticks
Brits looking to upgrade their TV can bag a bargain across Amazon's entire Fire TV Stick range, with savings of up to 29%. The largest discounts are on the Fire TV Stick 4K and 4K Max, both of which are now £20 off at £39.99 and £49.99 respectively.
There's also £30 off the Fire TV Cube, Amazon's 4K Ultra HD box that's down from £139.99 to £109.99, while the most affordable Fire TV Stick HD is down from £39.99 to £29.99. But the 4K Max is our top pick as it's touted as Amazon's 'most powerful' streaming stick.
It offers easy access to countless films and series on streaming apps like Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and Apple TV+ with 4K Ultra HD picture quality and Dolby Atmos audio. It also boasts 16GB of storage – twice that of other models – so there's more room for apps, games and software updates.
However, keep in mind that those wanting to stream with the likes of Disney+, Prime Video or Apple TV+ will need paid subscriptions directly with the streamers as they are not included for free. Another of our favourite streaming options is Sky's £15 Essential TV bundle, which comes with more than 100 channels such as Sky Atlantic, alongside subscriptions to Netflix and Discovery+ at no extra cost.
Amazon Fire tablets
Shoppers in the market for a new tablet can save up to £70 on Amazon's Fire range, with the brand's 'most powerful' tablet, the Fire Max 11, reduced from £249.99 to £184.99 – a £65 saving. This is for the 64GB model, while the 128GB model is £70 off at £219.99.
The Fire Max 11 is Amazon's most premium tablet – which some say rivals Apple's entry-level iPads – boasting an 11' screen with 2.4 million pixels, a slim aluminium body that's 'as thin as a pencil' and reinforced with strengthened glass. For those looking to keep costs down, Amazon's mid-range Fire HD 10 is now down from £149.99 to £109.99.
The most affordable tablet in Amazon's range is the Fire HD 8, which is reduced from £99.99 to £69.99. They offer an alternative to the more expensive gadgets, but those who prefer Apple may want to consider Sky Mobile's deals, where the new iPad (2025) is available for £10.50 when spreading the cost.
This comes on a 48-month plan and must be paired with a data SIM, but it won't hurt the wallet as much as buying it outright from Amazon for £309.97 or Argos for £329. But those sticking with the Fire Max 11 can get their hands on what's been described as Amazon's 'best-ever Fire tablet'.
One five-star review says: 'A superb tablet. Easy to set up. Lightning fast. Streaming image quality is flawless and the sound is just like surround sound – I'm honestly not sure which is better, the built-in speaker sound or headphone sound.'
However, the same buyer noted a potential downside: 'The only negative I can see is the lack of crossover with my Windows anti-virus software.'
But another happy customer said: 'Very impressed for the price. I've had several Fire tablets that were useful but on the budget side. The Fire Max is a big step up in performance, screen, and build quality provided you can live with the locked-down nature of the device.'

Identity theft warning issued to everyone using Amazon Fire Sticks for illegal streaming
Amazon Fire Sticks are among some of the most popular devices used to illegally stream live events but a new warning has been issued that these pirate streams are being used by criminals to swipe credit card details and plant malware on user's devices. Illegal live sport streams, often accessed via devices such as Amazon's £25 Fire Stick, are being sneakily used by criminals to swipe credit card information and plant malware on unsuspecting users' devices. A revealing study from Enders Analysis has branded pirated video as an "enticing store front" for crooks, whilst slamming big tech companies for not sufficiently addressing this "industrial scale theft". The report highlights that illegal streaming is embraced by one in eight individuals aged between 16 to 24, deeming the fight against it a "formidable challenge". The investigation blamed top-tier tech firms for "a combination of ambivalence and inertia", criticising them for neglecting robust security measures and inadvertently guiding consumers towards illegal offerings. It detailed three primary factors that contribute to the thriving piracy scene. Social media platforms, according to the research, act as gateways to "opportunistic" re-streaming of live events, while the second deploys streaming as a method to implant malware onto the viewer's gadget, the Mirror reports. The document stated: "Pirated services are part of sustained efforts, mostly by organised crime, to gain access to consumer data and online identity, infect devices with malware and enrich their criminal enterprises." Additionally, devices like the Fire Stick, which sell pirate TV subscriptions posing as legitimate providers, were labelled the third enabler of content piracy. Within Europe alone, it's estimated that a staggering 17 million people engage in pirated TV watching, with the financial impact believed to be somewhere between £900m and £21bn annually. To put this into perspective, just one illicit stream of a major football game might attract tens of thousands of viewers, the report identified. The document branded Amazon's Fire TV Stick as a prominent "piracy enabler". The gadget, which connects to a television and provides access to thousands of legitimate services, is also illicitly used to stream major events. Enders Analysis commented that consumers do not need to "search the darkest corners of the web" as the services are already "openly marketed and promoted". Amazon has reportedly taken steps with Fire TV to make it more difficult to stream pirated content and cautions its users against "sideloaded apps". A spokesperson stated: "We remain vigilant in our efforts to combat piracy and protect customers from the risks associated with pirated content, which includes prohibiting apps that infringe upon the rights of third parties in our Appstore, and warning customers of the risks associated with installing or using apps from unknown sources." Sky Group COO Nick Herm remarked: "It's a serious issue for anyone who invests in creating and delivering world-class content. We'd like to see faster, more joined-up action from major tech platforms and government."

Amazon shoppers grab £19 Ninja pan they 'wish they bought sooner'
The Ninja Zerostick Essentials Cookware Frying Pans are currently reduced in an Amazon deal Ninja may have earned a name for itself with its revolutionary air fryers, but the innovative kitchen brand is also a force to be reckoned with when it comes to other culinary essentials. Its popular cookware range has captured the hearts of many home chefs, and now you can snag their top-tier pans at reduced prices. Amazon is running an exclusive promotion on Ninja's Zerostick Essentials Cookware Frying Pans, which sees prices drop to £18.49 from £29.99. Choose from a diverse range of sizes tailored to suit your every cooking need. These heavy-duty pans boast high-quality forced aluminium construction, a design that sets them apart as 20 times more resilient than standard non-stick pans. Not only do they heat up beautifully on ceramic and induction hobs, but they are also fully oven-safe up to a scorching 260°C. Alternatively, the Scoville Neverstick Non-stick Aluminium Frying Pan has also garnered rave reviews and is now down from £18 to £12.60 at Dunelm. This has amassed 140 reviews and a 4.7 star rating, with users calling it 'easy to clean'. Another purse friendly option is the Tower Smart Start Gourmet Non-Stick 28cm Frying Pan, available for £18 from Argos. It has a 4.5 star rating from 12 reviews. Home cooks who've already discovered the magic of Ninja's pans have taken to Amazon to spread the love, showering them with glowing reviews and an impressive 4.6-star rating. A satisfied cook, Steve, raved about the Ninja pan and said: "Enjoying using this, its non-stick is really good. Fried eggs and other things just slide around. It feels strong, and is easy to clean.", reports Birmingham Live. Echoing his sentiment, a shopper exclaimed: "Impressive. Genuinely can't understand why anyone would buy any other pan. Now have a full range of the Ninja Zerostick Pans and can't see why I'd go elsewhere." However, a few users did flag up an issue with the handle heating up during use, as one reviewer noted: "Although the main part of this pan is good quality the problem is the metal handle on the lid and side, it becomes too hot to touch. If they changed this problem I would give five stars." Another satisfied customer said: "Top quality. Absolutely delighted with this pan. It is so versatile and cooks all kinds of foods to perfection. Just sorry I never bought one sooner. A must-have for every kitchen."

'Blown away' coffee lovers use this gadget everyday and now it's dropped by £400
There's nothing quite like the taste of a fresh, robust coffee made by a professional barista. However, regularly buying takeaway cups can quickly become a costly habit. As a result, many are now investing in home coffee machines, with many options available that can produce top-quality coffee at the touch of a button. Those looking to elevate their home coffee experience can currently snag the Philips 5400 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine for just £400, reduced from £679.99 on Amazon. This versatile machine is capable of making 12 different types of coffee. The coffees include espresso, cappuccino, latte macchiato, americano, caffe crema, caffe latte, ristretto, cafe au lait, and iced americano, ensuring there's something to suit all tastes. From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What's On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here. The machine also features a user-friendly touch display, allowing users to brew their favourite coffee quickly and effortlessly. Boasting an aroma extract system, the coffee machine is designed to strike the perfect balance between brewing temperature and aroma. It also includes a milk system that can be cleaned in as little as ten seconds, along with a durable ceramic grinder for coffee beans, reports the Daily Record. For shoppers still on the fence, an alternative budget-friendly pick is the Style Friendly - Cream and 'Coffee Shop Favourites' Bundle for £44.99 from Tassimo. The machine boasts a convenient one-button brewing system and comes with five packs of t-disc pods; it's also designed to be compact and space-saving. Alternatively, coffee connoisseurs might opt for the Ninja Luxe Cafe Premier Espresso Machine ES601UK, retailing at £549.99 from Ninja. This premier range machine features 19 settings, a dual froth system, an assisted tamper, can manage 15 drink recipes, and essentially combines three functions in one: espresso, filter coffee, and cold brew. The Philips model enjoys a glowing endorsement on Amazon, currently holding a 4.4-star rating out of 450 reviews. A contented customer remarked: "My husband and I love this coffee machine. I only had it a few days but it was very easy to set up and now also easy to use every day. The coffee quality is very good." Another shared: "Great product, I use daily. Lovely coffee, and I would buy it again." A third user, impressed by their experience elsewhere, noted: "I used this at a family member's home and was blown away by how easy it was to use and the quality of the drinks it made," further recommending the product for any regular coffee drinker with its custom settings and straightforward maintenance. But not all feedback was positive. One individual expressed a drawback, stating: "It's an easy-to-use machine, but the milk-based drinks aren't very warm - more ready-to-drink, but could definitely do with heating." One individual noted: "It's great and I won't deny the coffee is good. However, cleaning the internal part and greasing it is awful." That being said, at a discount of over 40%, the Philips 5400 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine is likely to be a worthwhile purchase for anyone who appreciates a good cup of coffee.
