What's great about it: The price.
What's not so great: N/A
It was affordable and easy to set up.
I'm using it as a replacement for my comcast remote and the button set up differs from my comcast remote so I'm just starting to get used to it and as far as durability I'm not sure yet how durable it is.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: good price
What's not so great: not durable
This is a good price for replacement remote, but unfortunately, the codes that come with it rarely work and once you get ti set up, after about a tear it becomes hard to use and fewer and fewer functions operate.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Easy to setup and low price
What's not so great: Would be nice to replace all the other remotes, but there are so many special buttons on the remotes now days.
This remote works very well as a replacement for the SANYO GXBJ remote. The only button I lost was the PIX SHAPE button (streches the screen when needed). I almost never use that button. It does not work great for the Panasonic DVD Records Model DMR-EZ28. Find I am still using 3 remotes. But I mainly purchased it because some bottons on the SANYO remote stopped working.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Good price
What's not so great: Too hard to read
I guess it's fine but I wish I would have gotten one with larger numbers and letters but I was trying to match it up with a previous purchase so I wouldn't have 5 different remotes in the house.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Price
What's not so great: Set up
Best thing is that it isn't expensive. My remote for my tv broke so a replacement was needed. I didn't want to spend more than 15 bucks so this was the choice. Buttons seem sturdy as does the build. Decently easy to set up and now my Blue Ray and TV are using the same remote.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Economical
What's not so great: Buttons not real easy to read in the dark
Needed an inexpensive universal remote and this is working great. LED backlighting is good but not really easy to see in the dark ... just memorize the buttons. Easy set up, too.

What's great about it: signal strenght to component is fantastic
What's not so great: special buttons are small
We have bought many remotes--cheap and expensive--and this is the best remote we have gotten.
Set up was quick and easy. Buttons are easy to push and the signal to the unit is very strong, so it receives and sends info quickly and with one touch.
The only bad thing is the buttons are small and you have to look close to be sure you are clicking the correct one when you are hitting mute, goback, or other such buttons.
We own two now. :)
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Very convenient
I bought this RCA universal remote, (suggested at Best Buy) to replace an expensive TV brand remote. I was very happy to realize that this remote could also be programed to replace my DTC that just quit also.

What's great about it: Inexpensive and the functionality it has seems to work.
What's not so great: does not have a SETUP button - which is a major flaw.
The remote works pretty well for basic functionality in the devices.
It took some time of stepping through the device codes to find the right magnavox code for the dual vcr/dvdr device.
However, there is one somewhat huge flaw in this remote's design:
There is no SETUP button on the remote. As a consequence, you will not be able to enter the setup menu of the devices you control to adjust the settings of those devices.
So this remote could be used to replace the various remotes for multiple devices with a single remote - once they are all configured. However, you cannot replace a missing remote with this remote if the device you want to control has a setup menu (which most devices like vcrs, dvd players, etc do).
Thus, I cannot recommend this universal remote.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: easy to program, works with alot of components and Brands. $15

Had an Insignia BD player, and old Mitsubishi VCR, without remotes in my bedroom. The remote programed easy to everything, TV, BD, VCR, and cable box. Cant be beat for $15!
