I use a Broadlink RM Pro which is much cheaper and does many of the same things. It also does RF as well as IR so I can use it to control my outdoor RF Christmas light switch, portable AC etc.
It works well once you set it up. The Broadlink skill sucks big time as you can only control TV's with Alexa but I have managed to set up a number of devices to appear as though they are TVs and use Alexa routines to manage the bizarre things you have to name them. The skill is only available in the US so it takes some monkeying around to get it to work. I've been using it since before the Canadian release so I am not sure if the work around still works.
The iOS and Android companion app is also very Chinese.

There is also the Mini 3 which just does IR
