Universal Big Button Remote for Seniors, Elderly - Simple Remote - Easy to Use and Set Up with Learning Functions for & Box Controller, Dementia Friendly Gifts

Bought this remote for use with a new Vizio TV for a senior, to replace Vizio's poorly designed remote. I'm using the TV with an antenna only, but Vizio's remote has the volume buttons hidden on the side and the channel buttons are unlabeled.After installing batteries this remote worked right out of the box, no programming needed! The battery compartment is a bit tricky to access and the "pictorial" directions provided are a little vague. You pull on the lanyard which releases the compartment latch. I love that -- perfect for significant others, kids or seniors who like to fiddle with stuff and then complain when it doesn't work.

Very hard to hook up. Instructions were in a different language

While it is a simple remote, it is easy for someone to erase the programming.

This turned out to be perfect for my 98 year old Dad, who trouble with all but the most simple devices.

I bought a new samsung tv for an elderly friend when her old tv was going out. The new tv remote buttons were small and close together and she was struggling with how to use them so I got this remote to make it easy for her. In general I like it. It's simple to see and understand what is what. I thought i was going to have to program it but it worked with the samsung tv right out of the box so I don't have any feedback on the programming process. What I am not liking is that when you press the volume buttons or the channel buttons the command is very delayed. I have gotten used to remote button pressing having a quick response and so when I was testing this remote and it didn't occur rapidly I was thinking the remote was messing up or I needed to press the buttons harder but eventually I realized that I needed to have some patience with this. It's possible that the makers intentionally make the commands slower for a slower demographic which makes sense but if you have a situation where the show you were watching had low volume so you turn it up and then a commercial comes on with high volume, you can't rapidly drop the volume with this remote. In the same fashion since there are no numbers on the remote(which is a positive and a negative), if you want to get to a certain channel you have to hold down the channel up or down and it slowly goes channel to channel so it may take a while to get to the channel you want. It doesn't come with batteries which in general isn't a big deal but we have gotten spoiled with the remotes for almost every electronic device we buy including batteries and it never fails that we don't have the right batteries when we need them.

This was confusing to set up. Would not buy again. I ended up returning it.

I bought this for my mom with dementia, it was easier for her to operate than a remote with dozens of buttons. Setup was simple and quick..

This was purchased for my mother who was getting confused by all the buttons on the cable and tv remotes.This remote is easy for her to use, containing only the options she requires. It has saved her much confusion and frustration while providing easy access to her favorite shows.
