Review on ๐ŸŽฎ SofaBaton U1 Universal Remote Control: OLED Display, Multi-Command Macro Button, Harmony Replacement for 15+ Bluetooth & IR TV/DVD/Media Players by Justin Hollins

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Absolutely not impressive

Cheap because it's cheap. I was hoping to find a replacement for this high profile line that had just announced its discontinuation. The advantage is that it is easy to program and reprogram. There they end. That's very sluggish. Also in IC. You have to press the button multiple times for it to get stuck. Where you aim doesn't matter. I have a repeater at the heart of my entertainment center and none of the remotes - first or third - have ever had a problem. Bluetooth cannot convince either. Backlog again. It's ok if you used it. But if you turn it off for a few minutes, it sort of goes to sleep. Luckily my 650 still works. But if it dies, most likely I'll just take a universal that can learn commands. If my 2015 Shield dies and I switch to one without IR I have no idea what I will do. Maybe a USB receiver for that. One thing is certain: no matter how my attitudes change, this product will never be there. Completely disappointed. And I was stupid enough to recommend it on Reddit.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Exchange opportunity
