    Description

    By Tiberius (NY) – My mom suffers from dementia. She …loves the Flipper. The buttons are large enough that she’s not accidentally hitting more than one button at a time and if she’s confused it’s simple for me to tell her which button to press over the phone as there are only six buttons she can see and they’re color coded. (I doubt she has the fine motor skill/strength in her fingers to open the sliding panel that covers the inner keypad; that’s fine with us as we don’t want her pressing extra buttons!) I’d suggest this to anyone with a family member in a similar situation. It’s such a relief to know she can work her TV easily.


    By Good Daughter (Albany, NY USA) –

    Looking for a remote for my elderly mother, I found the Flipper. Unlike other reviewers, the only thing I did to set it up was put in the batteries! I did no programming at all. The Flipper immediately turned the TV and Motorola cable box on and off, as intended, and changed channels with the up and down buttons. Volume control also worked, although I used the original TV control to crank up the volume on the TV first, so that the Flipper would be able to work with a wider range of loud and soft volume control. It is also possible to open the sliding door and just punch in the desired channel number, including only one digit (e.g., 7, rather than 007) where the cable remote requires that you punch in all three digits on their remote. I did not program the channels, leaving my mother the option of tuning to any available channel. Having an easy-to-find mute button (which also worked perfectly with no effort) is the final element of perfection. What a great remote!!

      Is Fulfilling Need

      After searching for a remote my father (low vision, dementia) could use, I chose the Flipper. There is one other remote out there, but it is not shaped like the one he was used to, nor is it the same size. The Flipper, though a different color, matches the size and shape of the original remote. His ability to operate and enjoy his Vizio was becoming increasingly more limited by the small buttons on the original remote. My father is now able to better control channel, volume, and on/off. His friend with whom he spends a good deal of time told me that Dad hasn’t had any trouble finding and recognizing the Flipper. Button size and placement are good. He can see them and there’s no problem with finding buttons and pushing them. Setting it up was not hard, and did not take long, though I had to rely on the original remote to edit channels. He will now be able to enjoy his television more independently!

      Easy to use but could use a few improvements.

      I bought this remote for my Mom who has Alzheimer’s and has had increased difficulty remembering how to operate her TV/remote. I had my nephew program the remote and set up her favorite channels which is a very nice feature but wasn’t that easy to figure out how to do. Make sure that you enter the dashes in between the numbers when setting them up. I would like to see a few changes to this remote to make it more user friendly. The volume and channel buttons point to either side instead of up and down. This is confusing for my Mom since every remote she’s ever used has positioned them up and down. One more thing, which I’ve already seen referred to is the speed of changing channels. It’s super slow and if you push the channel up or down button too fast it enters random numbers and tries to change the channel to that number. This needs to be fixed. Right now my mom can realize that she has made a mistake but that won’t always be the case. The favorite channel feature is very nice once you get it set up. My Mom had such a hard time finding the channels she usually watched but now it’s no problem.

      Set up by my son in law ~ seems to work great

      This product seems to be working fine. It has prevented the constant problem of ” messing”” with the TV and remote and not being able to use the TV. “

      Fli[[erremote

      Haven’t set it up yet, but think it will really be good for my mother. She was always
      pushing buttons on old remote and messing up TV. I had been taping over the
      buttons so she couldn’t use them. Thanks again and I think will really be great.
