Review on πŸ“± Enhance Your Samsung Experience with the BN59 01199F Remote Control by Charles Jenkins

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Works only a few months

When I first received this remote control I was very satisfied with it. It was identical to the manufacturer remote that came with our Samsung Smart TV but at a much better price and worked great. Excellent work lasted 3.5-4 months, and then I had to press a few buttons harder to get it working. I tried new batteries several times, but the problem was not solved. Slowly but surely over the next few months the same thing happened to the surrounding buttons and now each button has to be pressed hard and I'm still lucky if I can get it to work. Luckily I have a moderately used Wi-Fi remote control app that works with my TV until I get a replacement remote for my spare remote. It took about 4 years of regular use before the Samsung remote stopped working. This failed completely within 4 months of purchase. Bottom line: Spend a little more money and buy a remote made and sold by Samsung (or the equivalent TV manufacturer). Externally, this remote control looks the same, but the workmanship is very lame.
