Reviewers Didn't Like

  • Uses AA batteries, rather than a Lithium ion rechargeable battery
  • No user manual means gizmo novices might get lost in the setup
  • $150 price point isn't super pricey, but then its not the cheapest universal remote out there
  • A little tricky to set it up to control multiple devices at once
  • Remote takes itself out of setup mode (losing any pending settings for a device) after a brief idle time
  • Default illumination time of button backlight is too short
  • Doesn't work with Bluetooth devices, such as Sony PS3
