    Great universal remote to work with a fire stick. Was able to pair it easily with a DVD player, an old sharp led tv, and a very old Denon A/V receiver (1604). Couldn't find full functionality for the receiver, but have enough for power, volume, switching between most inputs, etc. Denon remote was finally having some issues, so went with a universal to streamline the process. Glad I did. Having the full fire remote in the same package is slightly bulky, but much preferred for ease of usability. Happy with this one over a plain universal remote.

    The device is very handy. I am able to keep up with my Firestick remote now. It would have been nice if it lit up when you press the buttons so you can see it in the dark.

    Great solution for not losing remotes easily

    Simple idea but super beneficial. I bought this for two reasons: 1) I kept losing the Fire TV remote because it was so small and 2) I wanted to keep track of less remotes. This solved both of those issues. The FireTV remote fits perfectly as intended. The universal remote programmed to my TV easily. The only downside is that the Buttons (like Home, Menu, etc.) don't exactly match up with my TV. I'm sure it's hard to keep compatability for all TV models. It's very usable still.

    Most of the time when you buy a universal remote control setup can be difficult but not with this item. Setup was simple. I have a LG Tv and along with a LG blu ray player plus Xfinity X1 cable box setup could not have been any easier. I also have a Fire Stick Max and the remote fits perfectly in back of remote. If I had one request I wish it was backlight but for the price I would definitely buy again.

    Just what I needed. I tried to order one from Amazon (for a dollar or 2 higher than Best Buy) but they were sold out. The remote is not nearly as clunky or busy as I had imagined. Our family is always losing fire stick remotes or at least the battery covers, and this remote indirectly solved that issue as a bonus benefit. It fits well and is easy to find after being swallowed by a couch. Also, it navigates well and I got used to the buttons quickly. I would recommend it for sure.

    Basically, you put your Amazon fire stick remote inside the back of a universal remote for keeping them together. Works as it's supposed to.

    This universal remote was easily programmed for my cable. DVD. Receiver and tv. The best part is having the fire stick remote attached to the back. Love having one remote that was under 30 bucks.

    Got this for to have one remote for my TV instead of 2. So far it works great. One thing I did not like was that if you use the original TV remote it will mess the universal remote and it will stop some features to work. And you will have to reset it again.

    This remote is almost perfect. Setup was a bit tricky but once it was done, I’m amazed. It pulls up full menu controls for my tv and my DVD player that no other universal remotes could handle. It increases the size of my Fire Stick so that it will be much easier to keep track of. After years, I have finally been able to put all the other remotes in the cabinet. Highly recommend!

    Easy to use. Love that it mates with my Fire TV remote. I programmed the universal remote to control volume on my ancient soundbar so now there's only "one" remote to power the TV and have sound via the soundbar. AWESOME

    This is the remote I never knew we needed. I wanted a universal remote that I could use for my tv and my Amazon fire tv after we got rid of cable. This was the perfect solution. The Amazon remote slides right in, which is nice because those small remotes get lost so easily. I will be getting another one for our living room as well.
