Review on πŸ“‘ Infrared Repeater System - IR Repeater Kit for Controlling up to 10 Devices - Hidden IR System, Infrared Remote Control Extender Kit by Original Mansel

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Serious defects

The box in which the beast is installed is impressive! This is where the positive impressions end. First, the bandwidth it receives is greater than the bandwidth it can transmit. This is not mentioned anywhere in the product description, but it is clearly stated in the instructions. Second, the sticky pads don't stick. They all fell off - receiver and transmitter - in less than 24 hours. Yes, I understand you don't want anything permanent, but that's unacceptable. I ended up punching a hole in the 3M command tape to install them. As mentioned elsewhere, the signal transmission to the receiving device is actually random. Sometimes it works, mostly not. This may be because the receiver port is too narrow or too deep. Reception bandwidth narrowing, which requires absolute fidelity with your remote control, or more likely: poorly copied intellectual property. Long delay between key press and signal transmission. If you pull the trigger too quickly (e.g., if you press the buttons on your remote control faster than a blind person just learning how to use them), he'll miss a button press. And finally, what idiot would have thought that it would be nice to combine two transmitters in one plug? I'll keep trying for a little longer, but I'm pretty sure it'll return to Revain - it's sort of a "range extender that doesn't exist" due to all its performance issues. too fast on the trigger (e.g. pressing the buttons of the remote control faster than a blind person who is just learning to operate), there is no push of a button.
