    The remote was recommended by the employee and it works perfectly with my TV. And the price was very reasonable.

    Great to use on old TV's that are not SmartTvs. This remote came in clutch when I was staying at a Hilton that had a remote that didn't allow an input change. I got this remote so I could hook up my Switch to play Pokémon on the TV. It worked perfectly! So now I take it whenever I travel :)

    Very low price for an excellent remote. The only reason I’m buying a new one is because we lost our other one. If I weren’t for that we would of had another couple years with this one very good quality the buttons are position perfectly for a very organized remote. not hard to use at all for all the old folks.

    I recently purchased the Universal Remote, and I am extremely pleased with it. It’s incredibly easy to control, with intuitive buttons that make navigating through different devices a breeze. The design is sleek and modern, fitting perfectly with my other electronics. Whether I’m switching between TV, sound system, or streaming devices, this remote makes everything simple and efficient. Highly recommend for anyone looking to simplify their setup!

    Works great, and the set up was sooo fast and simple it made me chuckle inside!! This was purchased for my grandfather who is not very techsavy, so when his 20+ year old universal remote from Radio Shack died on him we decided to get him a brand new one!! This is the one we choose because of price and size of the actual remote!! It works great for him and I was able to set it up for him in under 3 minutes!! So I highly recommend this universal remote for anyone needing an easy to use and set up remote!!

    I got a remote for my Grandma, since nobody else would replace her broken one. I didn't want Grandma having to hassle with her tv without a remote. This remote was so so easy to set up! It might look like alot of reading on the instructions but its mostly codes. One of the easiest setups ive done... I also purchases it for the low price...

    Great little remote

    This is a great little remote. We bought a TV and a DVD player at Goodwill and neither of them had a remote. Playing a DVD player without a remote is very difficult. and this little remote made life a lot easier. Very easily programmable to many brands of TV, DVD, and cable boxes. We don't have a cable or satellite box so I can't comment on that. We didn't need a ton of other options for it to control so this was the perfect option for us and it was a good price.

    Simple and easy to program. This remote replaced an old universal remote that drained batteries like crazy. I love the light up feature at the bottom of the remote.

    I really like this remote! One criticism I have is that the backlight only lights up the middle circle, but I don’t really care. It functions well. At only $15, it’s a great replacement remote. I definitely recommend this!!

    I have to admit I am pleasantly surprised with this little remote. It handles very well. Every once in a while I might have to press a button twice I guess it’s just interference or I’m not pointing in the proper area but for the most part, it works very well I am happy with it. The only thing that I’m not happy with and I guess it was my fault I should’ve read the bio a little more,it said backlit but when you press the button, only the middle part lights up which is useless because at night in the dark, I need the whole remote to light up, so that’s why I can’t give it five stars but for the most part and for the price it’s a pretty decent remote.

    Works like it should with the exception of not being able to fully use all the buttons. Too big for my liking, the thing feels like a giant brick in my hand.

    Lost the remote to the Vizio. It was a tumultuous time. Up and down. Back and forth. Oh wait- the Vizio ain't got NO BUTTONS. It's a boat anchor. Or, it was going to be. Best Buy had this guy. Was real easy to program. Mildly surprised. Seemed like a company that had the gall to delete onboard controls would also have the stones to not share remote codes/protocols with aftermarket entities. Who knows, maybe they didn't and RCA just figured it all out on their own. Now I lazily cycle through video sources with confidence, tweaking volume and picture controls just however I fancy. Change the channel? Yup. Advanced menu? Of course. Well worth the money. This couch potato can now soften and sprout freely.

    Not worth the buy, getting one matching the brand of your TV. Connected to LG TV and a lot of the buttons do not work, not because the controller itself doesn't work but I'm guessing the software doesn't match, tried different codes and in every code there was some features in the controller that didn't work, back button, menu, channel list, etc. Don't buy, get a brand that matches the TV.

    • Brand response from Voxx Accessories Corp
      Posted .

      Hello FernandoM - Universal remotes are designed to provide broad compatibility across many brands and models, but not every code will support every advanced or model-specific function. As you noted, different codes can enable different button functionality depending on how a particular TV model processes infrared commands.
      Trying multiple codes for the same brand is expected and often helps identify the option that provides the best balance of features. In some cases, certain brand-specific remotes may offer deeper integration for proprietary functions, while universal remotes focus on core navigation and control across multiple devices.

    Pairing to TV worked according to instructions without difficulty. Low cost solution for replacing a worn-out remote. More functions than needed for simple TV operation, but great value.

    Good quality for the price, I'd purchase again. But know that the backlight is just on the center button, not the whole device.
