Review on 🔥 Transform your Fireplace with the SkyTech 3301P Programmable Remote Control (SKY-3301P) by Shawn Price

Very easy to set; The remote control is a comfortable size for your hand, and the front has a smooth but non-slip surface reminiscent of sticky tennis wrap. The functions are easy to understand at a glance in the user manual. This remote is NOT backlit so it's a little cheaper than the other similar Skytech model if you're wondering what the difference is. I don't need a backlight as I don't sit in the dark to use this remote. It is now very easy to turn our gas fireplace on and off without having to tilt it up and down so I am very happy with it. I haven't used all the programmable features yet but I particularly like the ability to set a simple timer function to automatically turn off the fireplace in 15 minute increments ie after 15/30/45 etc minutes. That would be a 5 star rating, but for 2 reasons: 1) the labeling on the function keys is very small if you have eyes of a certain age, making it a bit difficult for me to see them, and 2) the flip die downward-facing front panel covers 5 of the 8 function keys and feels flimsy, and I'm afraid the rather sharp side tabs could snap with repeated presses. It also requires mostly good finger strength and dexterity to open this panel, so I wouldn't recommend this for those with vision issues or hand/finger mobility. Please note that this remote control cannot control flame height or fan control and is only intended to turn a gas fireplace on and off with some programming options.
