"A Waste of Money"
Pros: At least you won't waste _too_ much money.
Cons: Learning feature is a cruel mockery.
Summary: Don't bother buying this item. The learning feature is terrible. I bought it because I have some remotes from brands that aren't in most code bases (such as Niro), so the idea of getting an inexpensive learning remote appealed to me. Unfortunately, this remote simply doesn't learn over 75% of the IR signals. I'm starting to suspect that instead of actually learning any signals, it merely displays an "ERROR" message instead. It's a learning remote that can't learn. To paraphrase Jake LaMotta from Raging Bull, it "defeats its own purpose".
