The first thing that pops to mind when looking at the product page for this universal remote is the price tag. Normally it costs almost $300. (Today it is $160 off). Thankfully, one question/answer exchange on the site provides much-needed insight. One person asks, “What makes this worth $300?” User AMK helpfully responds:
I have three receivers, BD-player, Apple TV, CD, two cable box, one projector, one TV, 4 Lutron light controls all working with this remote. 14 items controlled by one thing. also I can sit on my patio use my phone to turn on music in 4 different location or turn or dim lights. to me that’s worth 300.00. All equipment is in a closet except the projector, tv and light controls. Makes life much better with multiple equipment operation.
The remote can control up to 15 devices and works with over 225,000 devices (from over 5,000 brands). Furthermore, newly released devices are added regularly to the online database. This is pretty nifty. No wonder it is the single #1 bestseller out of all TV accessories.
As it says, it even works with Alexa products like the Amazon Echo. Who couldn’t use one of these? I’d say just make sure not to lose it, but then again they made sure that you could connect it to your phone to make that the universal remote. They’ve thought of everything.
