After testing this 1000-in-1 universal remote, I’m torn between its convenience and quirks. Here’s the real deal:

Pros: It saved me $50+ vs. buying an OEM remote! Paired instantly with my Toshiba wall unit using the auto-search function (hold SET until it beeps). The 8-10m range works across my living room, and the LCD is clearer than my original remote. Bonus: it even controls my friend’s Samsung AC during a test.

Cons: The Celsius-only display annoyed my Fahrenheit-loving family (no conversion option). The manual’s Engrish had us laughing but confused—thankfully, online tutorials helped. One major flaw: it inconsistently worked with my neighbor’s Frigidaire (as warned) and sometimes ‘forgets’ paired codes after battery changes.

Verdict: At this price, it’s a gamble. Works perfectly for basic on/off and temp control on mainstream brands, but don’t expect full functionality for niche models. Keep your receipt!
