Highlights
Quality
Very sturdy, works well with our tv (vizio).
Easiest remote i've ever programmed, straight forward, and user friendly.
Our vizio remote (the original that came with the tv) finally stopped working: replacing the batteries did nothing.
I've had two of these remotes and they both allow punching in whole number channels only.
Price
Good replacement for a samsung tv control, for the price i can't ask for more
I got tired of buying the $150 logitech remotes and kids/dogs/live.
It's a great price, cheaper than cheap.
This does just that for $10 & 15min of programming time (going thru the various brand codes until i found the right code for each device).
Shipping
It arrived quickly and was easy to sync to our tv.
I had to contact amazon to get it on the delivery van & finally delivered - about 1 week later than the original delivery date.
The only problem was getting it delivered: amazon indicated it was on the way, then said it wasn’t.
Competitiveness
It’s held up the longest compared to other remotes i’ve bought.
