I was truly frustrated when I searched on Westinghouses website and called customer service to find out a replacement remote cost a arm and a leg. With them not being a huge brand like maybe Samsung or LG I knew I would have trouble finding a remote or it would cost me a bunch however that wasn't the case it was great for the price and works very well.

This universal remote is easy to set up and use. There are multiple ways to program the remote, so you can pick the one that's best for you. It's reasonably priced and can work with most major brands of electronic devices.

So far, so good! I purchased another remote a few years ago for more money and it lasted 6 months. This one has held up with no issues so far, and I was excited that it was already setup for Samsung televisions.

Exactly what you can expect for the price. Works almost perfectly for my Element tv. Only problem is the best code I could find makes all the buttons work except input mutes the tv, & mute changes the input.

The back button doesn't work for me. I have to exit of the appps/programs to get off screens. Other wise its a good remote for the price. I bought an additional one for the spare room

We lost the remote to an old LCD TV. We have been walking up and changing the volume manually, but Mom n Dad were coming over and I wanted to be nice to them. I thought, for $20 bucks maybe this would work. And it DID! :-D
The remote has Many, Many codes programmed into it. I did-Not use any "automatic" programming method because I wanted to try several and see if I could get the most and cleanest capabilities. That turned out to be a Good move.
It turned out that 2 or 3 codes "worked" on our TV but only 1 had the Best fit. Only 1 allowed the Up/Dn arrow keys active while using the Input Selection menu. Some of the codes left the Up/Down arrow operating the Channel and got bumped too easily, requiring you to open the Input Selection and correct it. The winning code had the best of both; no accidental Channel and Up/Dn worked in Input Select.
Later I added the DVD player and found that some codes would not recognize the Pause button properly; on this player the pause is also "single step" which we use to watch drawing details in animations.
The "oh well", is the missing Eject button. With the DVD player tucked in it is easier to hit Eject on the remote than the player...
On the "meh" side, the DVD Top Menu button doesn't work on Disney's discs, so we have to use the "next chapter" skip.
ALL "universal" remotes I've used are "less elegant" than the native remote; so be ready for that. However, the Input Select being at the very bottom was not so convenient for us.
Programming a universal remote is never really Fun; this one is not too bad. You have to hold the TV (or DVD) key down the whole time you are typing in the 5 digit code, but the LED on the power button goes Off on the 1st digit and Blinks 4-times on at the 5th if you entered an unused/wrong code. Just try again. I found that holding the TV key down with my left hand while holding the remote the the same left palm (sort of violin esq?) worked well, leaving my most dexterous hand free to type.
I don't know how long it will last, but we don't use it more than once or twice a day so we may not be as hard on it as some.

I am not going to talk about the features of his remote as for the most part they don't apply. I use my 47" Vizio television as my computer monitor. I only bought the remote to turn my tv on and off. It was cheap, easy to program so worked perfectly for what I intended.

It’s a cheap universal remote. It feels cheap, is cheap, but works with our Samsung tv. It’s not going to win any awards, but for $19 it does the job.
