An Honest Review of the Amazon Alexa Voice Remote Pro with Remote Finder

First Impressions

I was excited to explore the features of this remote mainly to the remote finder function to be honest, my kids love to lose the remote and the firestick remotes are so small we misplace it all the time as well. So, how does it fare in real-world usage? Let's dive in!

Features and Usability

The main feature I wanted to test out is the remote finder. Raise your hand if you've ever lost your remote in the couch cushions! With the remote finder, all you have to do is ask Alexa to locate it, and the remote will emit a noise, making it easy to find. This feature alone is a lifesaver for the forgetful among us.

Performance and Reliability

In terms of performance, the Alexa Voice Remote Pro is pretty solid. The voice recognition works well, even in noisy environments. I tested it with background chatter and the TV on, and it still managed to pick up my commands accurately. The buttons are responsive, and the layout is user-friendly, making it easy to navigate through menus and settings.

However, no product is without its flaws. There were a couple of instances where the remote finder didn't work as expected. Occasionally it took a few tries for the remote to start emitting a sound. While these instances were rare, they are worth mentioning. I have found that if the batteries get low it causes this issue.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Amazon Alexa Voice Remote Pro with remote finder is a fantastic addition to any smart home setup. Its array of features, from voice commands to the remote finder, make it a convenient and efficient tool. While there are a few minor hiccups, they don't overshadow the overall positive experience. If you're in the market for a new remote, this one is definitely worth considering. It has been a life saver in finding our always lost remote.
