Pros:  You hit two buttons to turn on your entire system and set the inputs correctly  You push one to shut them all off  Setup is very straight forward and simple  Customization is easy    Cons:  There is a learning curve for the family to use it effectively  It can be difficult for people to learn when you have visitors  Mine seems to eat through batteries faster than my other universal remotes  Setup does take time to get signal delays correctly set for devices    Overall, this is a must have in our house.
