Out of more than 8,000 ratings, shoppers have given this tablet a solid 4.3-star rating. People love how durable and fast it is, especially for the price.

Other users noted that they were "not a fan" of the Amazon interface, which runs like an Android device, but doesn't allow for as many modifications.
