Let me start by saying this remote is a game-changer. I was skeptical at first, especially since my bedroom AC is an ancient Frigidaire hand-me-down. But the moment I popped in AAA batteries (not included, FYI), it worked like magic—no setup, no fuss.

The buttons are responsive, and I love that it even has a HEAT function (though my unit doesn’t support it). It controls everything: fan speed, cool mode, even eco mode. The real shocker? It also works flawlessly with my brand-new LG in the living room! Talk about versatility.

Compared to a $18 dud I bought earlier (which felt like a dollar-store toy), this one feels sturdy. The backlit display is a nice touch, though I wish the power button was higher up and there was a temp display. Still, for the price? Zero complaints.

If you’ve got an older Frigidaire like my FRA124HT2 or just want a reliable backup, grab this. It’s saved me from sweating through summer—literally.
