" ... Works as advertised, range is phenomenal compared to others I've used! ... "
" ... No issue with range so far. ... "
" ... Good signal strength. ... "
" ... The 10 foot range listed by amazon seems to be on the safe side. ... "
" ... Worked from about 15 feet away with no problems. ... "
" ... The range could be better, but it suits my needs. ... "
" ... The range is not so broad but definitely very decent. ... "
" ... Great remote for most uses but my only complaint would be that the IR is a little weak and at distances greater than 10 feet it gets a little difficult to set of the sensor. ... "

" ... This will be returned ... "
" ... This purchase was not worth it, and since I bought it a while before her birthday I'm past the return date. ... "
" ... Only problem was there was no way for me to return either of them because the original one I got was a past it's return date and the most recent one I received was 0.00$ so what's the point in returning that? ... "
" ... That was a mistake. ... "
" ... On the plus side- they just refunded me when I asked for my money back immediately. ... "
