Universal remote suggestions

Need some suggestions or input regarding universal remotes.
Someone is looking to buy one and came to me and I really don't have a clue these days.
They want something with the external infrared sensor so they can put boxes hidden. Logitech always was one if the best options I knew of but haven't kept up in years. Not sure if anything newer / better stands out these days.
Budget is approximately $200

Universal remote suggestions
you want a programmable remote, not a universal remote.
and yes, get a logitech. try out a $30 harmony 520 refurb..it works basically the same as the more expensive ones..they all connect to logitech's cloud & you input your device model #s and it will do the rest for you.
if you want RF in addition to IR, you'll have to buy a more expensive model..but they do the same thing (except through walls).

I've got a Logitech harmony that I got from radio shack for like $70.. Very easy to use and setup , plus its pretty durable.. I dropped it on a glass of water accidently and it's still running strong

I have a Harmony One and its been great. No complaints tho I dont think they make that model any more.

Can't link because I am on my phone but I have 2 Harmony 900s and both have been excellent!
All of my equipment is in a closed cabinet and one remote has to go 30 feet to reach it and it does it like a champ

Get an RF solution. It's much more reliable.
