HQRP Universal A/C Remote Control for MITSUBISHI TOSHIBA HITACHI FUJITSU HYUNDAI PANASONIC DIY DAEWOO LG SHARP SAMSUNG ELECTROLUX SANYO AMCOR CARRIER and others Air Conditioners

Apart from the pairing instructions which are slightly worse than useless and completely wrong, the product once you've worked out how to pair it works fine and looks nice. If you do get one of these, don't bother looking for the 'frequencies' of your unit - just let it scan the lot and it will find it eventually, but good value (apart from the idiotic instructions) :-)

My remote control on an unusual air-conditioner them Demrad had stopped working. This universal Remote found the correct Codes 182 for the demrad air-conditioner and now I have the air-conditioner back working brilliant thank you.

I purchased three of these controllers as a few of my clients were missing remotes for their air conditioners and this seemed the ideal solution. Out of all the units I tested the remotes on, only 1 responded which was a 12 year old Fujitsu unit. I also tested them on a pair of three year old Mitsubishi Electric cassette units, a 5 year old Mitsi wall mount unit, a 12 year old Mitsubishi Heavy Industries cassette unit and a 2 year old MHI wall mount. Considering there are 1000 codes stored on the remote I would assume at least ONE would make these units work, but no such luck. It's worth bearing in mind Mitsubishi Electric is one of the most popular brands in the UK. Judging by the list of brands included in the instruction booklet I think these remotes are more suited to the far east air conditioning market. About 90% of the brands listed are ones I have never heard of and I've been in this game for 16 years. On the plus side, the remotes are of fairly good build quality and look as though they will last. The instructions are in decent English (not 'Chinglish' as found in some manuals) and the setup is nice and straightforward. The 'illumination' button on the remote is not to light up the screen but oddly activates a small LED torch next to the I.R. emitter. If this product worked with our European spec units this would definitely be a 5 star product and I would buy 20 of them at that price. But seeing as they could only get one out of about 10 units to do anything they are not fit for purpose - one star only I'm afraid.

My OE air con controller decided to go on the blink and stopped working for some reason. Ordered this replacement item which so far has been faultless. Easy to programme and picked up my AC unit the first go.

My remote for a very old Mitsubishi air-con unit (25 years+) failed. I was concerned due to the age of the unit that a modern remote wouldn't work. Received new remote, it couldn't find the unit on auto-scan, so I punched in the 1st code given in the instructions, and bingo it worked perfectly. thought I would have to purchase a new unit, so I'm very happy with this. It is also better quality than I was expecting and feels better than the original.

I bought a different one first which didn't work. This seems to work well, so I am happy. Used with SANYO A/C

Reason for three stars is that not all functions on control work, guess this is price to pay with cheap alternative

I took 1 minutes to setup my AC unit with the remote (Samsung type)
