    The sales man recommended this remote because of the ease of connecting and using it. It was very much as he said, and we just brought it home put in the batteries hit the button and the TV was changing channels. Best remote ever.

    Excellent remote. I was so impressed that Best Buy had a replacement remote that immediately worked with my TV. It was easy to operate and use. I am very pleased with this purchase. I do recommend it.

    Great replacement for Vizio television remotes!!! No programming was necessary, worked on all buttons out of the box. I have a newer Vizio Smart TV and an older Vizio with none of the bells and whistles, works great on both. Worth buying if you need a replacement remote.

    My Vizio TV's remote had a few buttons that stopped working, obnoxiously they were the power and volume buttons. I bought this remote as a replacement and it worked with little effort. Used the programmaing feature to program the yellow button to use to set the sleep timer (hopefully I never lose the instructions to do that). Great remote!

    The best thing I loved about this remote was the fact I hat all of I had to do was take it out of my he box, add the batteries and begin using it . No set up needed. The buttons are very easy to use because they are somewhat similar to the original remote of the TV

      Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We're so pleased to hear that the remote was easy to set up right out of the box and that the button layout felt familiar and user-friendly. It's great to know it delivered a smooth and hassle-free experience from the start.

    Purchased this to turn off Desperate Housewives while my wife sits on the couch watching the darn show 18 hours a day. I don’t need her getting any ideas so I flip it off when she’s really getting into it. She thinks our TV is going out. I’ve almost got her convinced to buy a new 973” Flatscreen razor.

    Wished it worked, but it's my TV, not the remote.

    This seems like a solid, quality remote. Instructions were somewhat simple. Unfortunately, it did not work on my Vizio and I will be returning it. But, I do not think the issue is the remote. I think its my TV ... likely the IR sensor (note, I did not buy my Vizio from Best Buy, I got it from another major department store a few years back). Anyway, if the IR sensor is not working on the TV, the remote can't operate the TV. I thought I'd try this, but no luck. Bummed. But, I was glad Best Buy had this at a reasonable price for me to try. Unfortunately, I'm stuck with using the buttons on the side of the TV to change inputs, settings, etc. If you are just replacing a lost remote (no TV issues like mine) you might want to give it a try (?). One extra note, I did get a firestick with a remote, and although it wont fully operate the TV (On/off, inputs, etc ...) it does work for wifi channels and the wifi TV guide, apps and Fire TV settings/updates. So it was a good partial solution for me.

    My original Vizio remote stopped working. I purchased an aftermarket universal remote and quickly misplaced the user manual with the universal tv codes, rendering the remote useless. I found this Insignia remote which was ready to use right out of the box. No programming required, it works great!
