Bought this for my elderly father, who has trouble seeing and lacks dexterity to push small buttons. This is not a dazzling, sophisticated remote, but it is perfect for users such as my dad, or those who don't care about all of the "bells and whistles". The layout is logical and easy to figure out. It seems to have truly "universal" compatibility. As shown in the photo, the channel number buttons are actually shaped like numbers! What a refreshing difference from most remotes that have groups of tiny, difficult to push buttons with small numbers printed on them which rub off with wear! In the case of this remote, simple is good!

PS The only criticism I have is that the buttons do not light up. Otherwise, I would have rated a perfect "5"

Cheap, works, retains the programming codes so you don't have to re-enter them a lot.

Only thing I don't like is the shift button. You have to use it for several things when controlling the DVD player, and it doesn't have a light up button or anything, so you never know if "shift" is currently selected or not. This matters when you press a button and it performs its alternate function rather than the one you intended. A light-up button indicating "shift" is activated would have been great.

Other than that, it all works. It's nice to have a remote that DOESN'T have 300 buttons. This one is simple enough to use...I control an ancient Sharp VCR, a Sony flatscreen TV, and a new Philips DVD player without any problems. Codes were simple and all worked fine. Best couple of bucks you can spend!

I would give it a 4 if it cost $30, but because of the incredible bargain and only a small complaint, I have to give this product 5 stars.

This remote is as advertised-very easy to use -great not having to use separate remotes for one activity-

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.

I was impressed by the reviews here and while it seems to work for MOST brands as per the reviews, it would be helpful to know that it definitely does not work with ALL brands as it says on its package/description. Moreover, the customer service is pathetic. Only takes on-line emails, five of which, since December 2008 when I bought the product, have been unanswered. Do make sure before buying this product that it will work with your equipment. Important to know: the model (4110-B00) is not even listed amongst the remotes on its webpage to retrieve codes (http://www.oneforall-na.com/advanced_search.php)

The package says guarantee to work on all devices... BUT None of the code works for the Toshiba TV I have, its not even one of those exotic brands! contacted the tech support and they said I will have to buy a more expensive remote from their company and MAYBE that will work. Think twice before you buy people!

I use this for my bedroom TV and DVD/VHS combo machine.

The codes worked well for the two brands, and the functions work well, although some take a while to get used too. Both the TV and the DVD/VHS players are several years old and the TV remote had died years ago.

Very inexpensive and the basic functions are easy to use. Almost five stars.

Received the product in like two days. Entered the first code in the book for my tv and she fired right up. The large letters are so convenient.
Great product and delivered fast. I recommend this for anyone who needs a Universal Remote.

The Universal Remote Control does not recognize Sharpe T/V or Presidion Combo. The codes don't work. Upon calling for assistance I was told that the device I purchased does not receive Tecnical Support.

My old remote control stopped working and I was a little skeptical at purchasing something for this small price for a 4-year-old generic-brand television. I have an Apex television. There were five codes listed for Apex and the first code entered was the code that worked!

This remote manufacturer has several codes for over 130 television brands (Yes, I counted!) with some brands having multiple codes. I was surprised at the easy set-up. If you follow the 4 simple steps, you should have no problem.
