Best value for money out there for any digital gadget.

 

For US$22 at **********, there is no better Universal Remote Control

Easy to setup. It will learn any command from any remote control in a few seconds. Powerful signal....often works better than the original device. Cheap. Sony quality. AA Battery operated

Ergonomically average....but then you are looking for a perfect spouse

Does Almost Everthing The Big Boys do

I wanted a learning universal remote that didn't cost more than my TV. This is the right choice. My wife is "electronically challenged" and I needed something intuitive. I got this to run a Harmon Kardon HT receiver, Oppo DVD player (using a Toshiba...

Good for the money

I prefer the older RM VL900 remotes, but they are really scare these days. The buttons on the RMVL610B seem a little smaller and closer together making it a little harder to use. Younger hands with a lot of dexterity will probably have no troubles...

Hands Down Best Universal Remote For the Money

 

Hands Down Best Universal Remote For the Money

This remote has allowed me to combine 5 remotes into 1. At first I was skeptical of how it would handle the infuriating Motorola Moxi DVR remote, but the learning function handled it without issue. I also have an annoying Harmon Kardon Receiver...

Easy to setup and does everything you need

I broke our old Sony Commander which was a clunky tabletop unit with an LCD screen and about 4 times the cost of this unit. While our old one looked cool, it was very unwieldy and we tended to use other remotes to compensate for this (to FFW through...

Full featured and small

I used to use the RMAV2100, a 2-pound, large, square remote that costs $200. The RMVL610 (whether B--bright--or N--neutral) does everything the old remote does, and does a better job. Plus, it can be held and operated in one hand. The learning...
