Summary: Very Good Universal Remote
Comment: I have used universal remotes for a lot of years now. I have always been a gadget guy so keeping the remotes around for my media setup, especially with kids, is just not practical. For several years I have been using this one for all remote. I have replaced the remote three times for a variety of reasons but have always returned to the same basic model.
You would think with being a gadget guy I would go in for a real expensive remote that could literally do everything. I have tried the more expensive remotes. Believe it or not I have not enjoyed anything more complex then this remote. The others are just too much work for relaxing. I like and my family likes the more relaxed usage of the simple one for all remote.
Pros:
- Inexpensive. Very easy to fit in a your budget.
- Easy to program.
- Works with just about any device even though the codes haven't been updated in a while.
- Nice large buttons.
- Button layout is logical and easy to get familiar with.
- Lasts a long time. I have broken or lost 3 but that is not the devices fault.
Negatives:
- This is not a learning remote. You can search for codes but you can't import functions from other remotes.
- Does not work well with DVD/VCR combos. This is the only reason I have considered moving up.
- Buttons do not light up or glow in the dark and that would be nice.
For the price I could not ask for much more.

Summary: Great Remote! And super easy to use!
Comment: Just 5 minutes after opening the box, I had this remote programmed to operate the TV, VCR and DVD player. I love that the number buttons are shaped like numbers so you don't have to worry about the printing wearing off like most remotes. I was even able to teach my 4 year old to operate the remote since now she can see the numbers! Just what we needed to replace our old remote.
