Why didn't I buy this sooner???
I hate having a bunch of remotes for various devices, so I definitely prefer an all-in-one. However, I hadn't found one yet that would operate my tv, my roku and my vcr/dvd player (yes I still have one of those). Enter the GE Universal, and WOW - why didn't I do this sooner?I recently purchased an identical replacement remote for my Roku Express to the one I have in my bedroom, because I wanted a remote that would at least operate the Roku and the TV together, just like like the one I purchased for my bedroom. I even purchased it from the exact same listing here on Amazon as the first one. Unfortunately, the manufacturer changed how that remote is made and it doesn't work with my living room TV like the remote for the bedroom TV does. I followed all the directions and even reached out to their customer service department (no response). It just wouldn't work. Then I noticed the model number had changed on that remote - there was the answer. Waste of money to buy that, I guess!So, I started searching for something that was a true all-in-one universal remote that would operate everything I have set up - my Roku Express, the Sony TV and the Funai DVD/VCR (I still have this device because there are movies I enjoy that are out of print and I'm in the process of transferring them from VHS to DVD). I found this remote, and not only was it cheaper, but it was a breeze to set up and works wonderfully well!1) Setup:This thing was incredibly easy to set up. It took me all of about 7 minutes to pair it up to the TV, Roku and DVD/VCR unit, and I've got room on the remote for a couple more devices if I ever need to do that.2) Ease of Use:Works like a charm! Because it's a universal remote, you just have to remember to press the button corresponding to the device you want to control - so TV for the TV, DVD for the VCR/DVD unit and AUX for the Roku. Easy! This remote even has the little "house" or "home" button for the Roku - you can use that or the Menu button, both do the same thing.3) Size/Weight:This remote is stylish and lightweight - it's less than half the weight of my Roku remote. Plus, it's not as small as the Roku remote, which means there's less chance of losing it. It's slim and has a brushed aluminum-looking face plate, so dust won't show as much as on a black remote (a petty annoyance, I know, but...)All in all, I'm very pleased with this remote and happy I purchased it. It was half the price of the replacement Roku remote I purchased.UPDATE: 1 month followup. Remote is still working well, no problems. So far, none of the problems I'm seeing others report (losing sync with devices, having to re-input codes, only working part of the time). Mine works consistently well, no problems.

Light weight, universal and easy to program
Very light weight. Easy to program (even without knowing the code).I have a Hisense smart TV with dedicated BT remote control. I also have kids that are not very nice with devices! I got this remote as an alternative control for the TV.I checked the manual but I was very lazy to read through it all. I jumped to the section of universal try and error programming. It found the IR code and worked very fine. Time to program: 3 min.I was messing with it so I tried to program a different device (TLC TV) and it worked as a charm! Also compatible with the sound system. Programmed very easily.It support several devices that you can easily switch between. All the main buttons are descent size. Easy to get used to and operate without looking.All that for very affordable price! and original looking shape and color.

Sleek, simple.
Why did you pick this product vs others?:Sleek, simple universal remote that works well, except that I couldn't get it to work on a 43" Sansui TV despite trying many codes. Even auto-program didn't work.

Simple and works with an older TV
Good remote that provides the basics needed to navigate devices. Quick to program and simple to use. It's one of the few that work with an older TV set I still have lying around. This is a second purchase, the first met its untimely demise after 5 years of use, thru no fault of its own.

Thanks youtube guy. This works with my walkpad!
Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is insane. I bought this for a chinese treadmill I got off amazon (the remote went bust in a week for some reason) and it literally worked on the first try. I'm positively baffled.

Functional, but Could Be More Intuitive
The GE Universal Remote Control (33709) offers basic control across multiple devices, but those seeking a seamless experience might be left wanting more:Pros:Wide Compatibility: Works with most major brands, making it a good option for streamlining multiple remotes.Simple Setup for Popular Brands: Pre-programmed for Samsung TVs and Roku boxes, which provides a quick starting point.Large Buttons: Helpful for those with limited dexterity or poor vision.Cons:Code Entry Can Be Cumbersome: Setting it up for less common brands may require tedious manual code entry.Limited Button Layout: Missing some specific buttons that users might frequently use with certain devices.No Learning Function: Can't be programmed to replicate buttons missing from its own design.Tip: For best results, use it for controlling the basic functions of your primary devices (TV, streaming box, etc.)Overall: This GE remote does the job for replacing lost remotes or simple control. If you're managing a complex setup or want a highly customizable remote, it's best to invest in a model with learning functions or app capabilities.

Good quality construction by GE and easy to set-up remote control at a great price.
Good quality construction by GE and easy to set-up remote control at a great price. Comes pre-programmed for Samsung systems but it took me only a few minutes to set it up for my LG TV. The listing of programming codes is quite comprehensive for many brands. I did not need to use the automatic programming feature since the codes listed worked on the very first try. Stronger built than many remotes, with responsive buttons and reliable battery compartment, a big advantage over similar-priced remotes that are much more fragile.
