I recently got this replacement remote for my Hisense portable AC, and it's been a game-changer. The setup was ridiculously easy—just popped in two AAA batteries, and it connected instantly. No programming, no headaches.

One thing I love is the Fahrenheit display since that's what I'm used to. However, the swing command can be a bit finicky. Sometimes it works perfectly, other times it acts like it forgot how to swing—minor annoyance but not a dealbreaker.

The lack of a backlight is a bummer if you're adjusting settings in the dark. I wish it had that feature like the original remote. But hey, for the price and convenience, I can live with using my phone flashlight occasionally.

If you've lost or damaged your original remote (like I did), this is a no-brainer. It works just as well—maybe even better—and saves you from sweating through summer nights!
