Let me start by saying – losing an AC remote is THE WORST. I spent days sweating before finding this affordable replacement for my HISENSE EQK unit. At first, I was skeptical (hello, $15 price tag!), but this little gadget surprised me.

The Good Stuff: It arrived brand new in packaging, uses standard AAA batteries (unlike the original’s annoying coin cells), and has satisfyingly clicky buttons. My favorite feature? The larger size makes it way easier to handle than the flimsy OEM remote. All functions – temperature, fan speed, even the obscure ‘sleep mode’ – work perfectly with my AW-08CW1RVFUE20 model.

Reality Check: This isn’t identical to your original remote – the plastic feels lighter and the LCD screen is simpler. One reviewer got scammed (likely ordered wrong model), so DOUBLE CHECK your AC/remote model number before buying! Pro tip: Keep the product page open while comparing codes.

Final Verdict: For the price? 10/10. It’s not ‘premium’ but functions better than my original remote that died after one summer. Perfect for when you just need cold air ASAP without paying $50+ for an ‘official’ replacement.
