Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the 200-Device Universal Remote's compatibility with a wide range of home entertainment devices as a significant advantage. However, they also cite challenges with the remote's ease of use and setup process, finding it difficult to operate and requiring technical expertise for proper configuration. Some users reported needing professional assistance to program the device. Overall, the product's broad compatibility is praised, but its usability is a major point of concern.

    Have been a loyal Harmony user for years. Had the Harmony Elite and hated the touch screen, so Magnolia recommended the URC. Great products.

    I use this in my motor home and it does what I haven't been able to get any other one to do. The Harmony remote I previously had depended on the internet (which doesn't work so well on the road).
