Replaced Control Compatible Westinghouse Insignia Reviews Summary

Remote Functionality

Pros:

• "There is no pairing to do, just insert your 2-AAA batteries, (not included), and you’re ready to go! So simple and easy!"
• "Just add two AAA batteries and you're ready 2 Go. Works great with her tv and now have an extra one."
• "These worked perfect on all of our TCL Roku TVs."
• "I was irritated that my remote didn’t come with instructions on pairing. To my surprise, there was no pairing needed! Works perfectly with no setup!"
• "You can’t beat the price on getting two of these remote controls."
• "These remotes were just what I needed. I've been using an app on my phone for months to control my tv ever since my original remote stopped working."
• "This remote which replaced a lost/destroyed remote for a TCL TV was so easy to install and get working again."
• "The Roku control that came with my TV fell on the floor and broke. I thought the replacement would have to come from the manufacture. Just in case, I looked on Amazon and found that a Roku replacement control will work on numerous TV makes."

Cons:

• "One of the remotes I had to press the buttons extremely hard to get the tv to recognize. Over time it became harder and harder to press buttons to get a response from the tv."
• "Now it's January 24 and already one isn't working. Tried new batteries and nothing."
• "Both remotes only worked if I used them within two feet of the TV."
• "Barely worked when we got them. Had to push each button repeatedly to register any input."
• "No voice recognition, so no rating for that. Volume control is weird. Sometimes it's loud even around level 2."
• "These things connected to the TV but never worked well. We’d have to push the same button over and over before it would work."
• "Do not buy the remote, they do not work. The only way this thing will work is if you are 2 feet away from the TV."
• "After my original remote died, I bought these from reading all the reviews and most people are happy. It said that it doesn't need to be programmed, therefore no instructions it will just work, right? Not a chance."

Durability and Longevity

Pros:

• "These remotes work great. Replacing the same remote that wore out after 6 or 7 years of service."
• "It's like the one that came with the TV and works like it's supposed to, & I can use it from different distances which is perfect."
• "This remote which replaced a lost/destroyed remote for a TCL TV was so easy to install and get working again."
• "I can't tell you how much more pacific the household is when everyone has their own remote control."

Cons:

• "This is the second time I've had to buy this 2 pack of remotes. The thing I don't like is even the tiniest jolt I mean drop they break."
• "Cheap imitation product. Got about 1 month out of it before it stopped letting me fast forward and the home button stopped working."
• "We bought these in April. First one was broke within a month. 11mo old got ahold of it and dropped it a short distance. She just broke the 2nd doing the same thing."
• "The first one that I used only lasted almost 2 months before it died."
• "Unfortunately I think I have a defective remote. I can’t get one to work at all."
• "Bought 2 remotes. Started using on day 1 the remote started glitching.. brand new batteries and it wouldn’t work half the time."
• "Bought this controller less than 2 months ago. In the first month, the power button fell off. Now in month two, the home button stopped working."
• "These remotes were great for about 5 seconds. Then the volume button started to act up, then it stopped working entirely and I had to use the Roku app on my phone to control the volume."
