    Super great quality! It connected the minute i pulled it out plus it came with a cool case! My dog chewed up my last one so the case is definitely a life saver.

    The solar remote is working ok. Sometimes the buttons are not responsive. Does not come with a USB charging cord which sucks. Not sure why a charging cord is not included since the remote is on the pricey side.

    Was better than the first one bc it doesn’t need batteries and came with a protective cover, however wasn’t a good enough cover to keep my granddog from chewing this one up too! Now they are sold out so sad

    Worked well with our older Samsung TV that was battery-operated. The old remote died and we replaced it with this solarcell remote.

    Good replacement for my original one that I lost. I put it in a nice rubber case and it stopped working after a week. I tried everything to reconnect to the TV and nothing…

    Ordered early May, paid on site and received one update about delay but no further information regarding my order. Very disappointed I should have been informed at time of purchase or better explanation.

    Remote works fine. Doesnt charge very well with sunlight. Doesn't come with a charger and doesn't charge with any other chargers. Remote broke two weeks after buying the television.

    Worst remote ever

    I dont even write reviews but you can imagine how frustrated its become for me to do this. This remote only works when it wants, the buttons are not responsive at all and just flat out dont work 75% of the time. I dont know in what universe this thing would cost $60. Terrible product!
