    Horrible experience

    We had the absolute worst experience. Gunner was extremely rude when asked for help finding a remote. The store is a complete mess. As my husband and I looked around several employees were glued to their phones instead of working. A real manager needs to be in the store to oversee how your employees are acting. It’s a mess right now!

    It connected flawlessly to my Samsung smart TV, but it fell once from a 2ft drop and never worked again. The original remote died from use not from drops or my dog launching it off my bed as she jumped off. Disappointed.
