Style over function
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had several Harmony Remotes and have bought and programed them for my sisters, as well. I bought this one after the buttons on my Harmony One started becoming reluctant to work. I tried to fix it by following a YouTube video and ended up killing it. The Harmony One was no longer available, so I bought a Harmony Ultimate One. It is smaller than the Harmony One, because it has eliminated the number pad in favor of touch screen number arrangement. Even using the new "My Harmony" program (as opposed to "Harmony Remote," which proceeded it), it was easy to program. The problems I have with the new Harmony seem to be related to either the design of the keys or the design of my hands. For example, many times when I intend to use the Channel/Page button, it end up hitting the Return key. The design of the keys are much like my original Harmony 880 remote - very stylized and not as practical as the Harmony One. which had more space between the keys. Of course the Harmony One was much larger than the Harmony Ultimate One and had a number pad. However, in the end, it was the number keys that went bad on the Harmony One, so this one should last longer. All and all, I recommend the Harmony Ultimate One because of the ease of programming, but I wish it had simple round buttons.

Best Universal Remote
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have always been a skeptic with this universal remote. It was featured in "Deal of the Day" so I thought I would give it a try. It turned out to be a great decision. I was able to sync it to my LG 4K TV with WebOS, my Bose 300 sound bar and my DirecTV box. It is easy to install/set up with all devices (that are compatible, which is hundreds). I like the capability to add favorite channels and activities base on the capabilities of the hardware, i.e the Harmony remote allows me to set up a short cut to apps on the remote, and shortcut to music since my Bose connect to wifi and you can sync to different music apps. It was a steal for the price. Simply Amazing.

Excellent choice
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to navigate use and programming. Logical menu layout with appropriately sized LCD and sleek appearance. Love the station icons, which makes remote sophisticated, while eliminating need to memorize desired channels. Built in troubleshooting option works flawlessly. This remote easily stacks up to another remote I own costing over $1,400 which requires a tech to show up to my home for programming with vendor’s propriety software.

Awesome remote
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've waited a long time for this to go on sale and I was never wrong that I will love this product. I like that it doesn't require a hub.

Has its quirks.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The remote itself is pretty good, but the setup took a awhile. my wife was able to start using it right away, but there are some quibbles here and there on having this be the only remote we need. some basic functions, like searching, are more cumbersome with this than the other remotes.

Easy to program and use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This remote is a breeze to program and the controls are pretty straightforward. I think the design could have been a little more ergonomic as far as fit and feel. The hard keys that control the most accessed functions are poorly located virtually eliminating one handed operation. However, it works well and a well lit keyboard and touch display makes it fairly easy to operate. The big negative is the Li-ion batteries are not user replaceable which pretty much guarantees you will be in the market for a new one in a few years. A little pricey for a disposable. It's a shame because I really like the fact that this product works well and effectively eliminates a table full of remotes. I would gladly upgrade to 5 stars if Logitech did a modest redesign to truly make this product best in class.

A lateral move from the Harmony 650/700
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This remote replaced a Harmony 650 that I had for a few years and stopped working. Pros: rechargeable, easy to set up, customizable without to a degree w/o computer, Cons: battery lasts about a week between charges, touch screen can be sluggish, no physical buttons for channel/text input Overall, I'm satisfied. I wish Logitech would improve upon the 700 instead of making everything touchscreen.

Controllers everything I need it to.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had this about a week so far I am liking it. It controllers everything I need it to. I have a gaming PC , PS4, Xbox one and Roku 4 everything but the PC is ran into a Denon x3300 receiver into a Sony 65 900e TV with the computer hooked up directly to TV and sound back to the receiver. After I set the remote up and you will need a PC to set it up, update it and to configure how the remote will work, I am able to press one button and it will change all the inputs on the receiver and TV it will also turn things on. I am able to use it to control my Roku player. The set up is pretty straight forward it took me about 45 mins to get it going. I did take one star away for two reasons. The first being the play, pause,stop buttons are located above the screen and it feels a little awkward but I am getting used to it. The second being the battery life it does seem to die pretty quickly I had to charge it twice in a week. I got this on Cyber Monday so I got it for under $90 which is a great price I could not see paying full price for it though. There is a model above this one that has the buttons under the screen if there is not much difference in price I would recommend that one just for the button placement. I also would have liked the battery's to either be replaceable or upgraded, some rechargeable AA's would have been great but if the batteries ever go bad the wouldn't need to sell you a new one.

Best remote in this price range
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the fourth home theater setup I have configured this remote easily controls what most people want to do. After getting used to a single more pricy remote to control a theater with 9 devices and being able to turn on and off with 1 button push you never want to go back to the individual remotes. My last setup included a smart TV, Receiver, sound bar, Blu-ray player and media player. This much flexibility can drive most people crazy. With this remote I was able to setup one touch screen button activities to Watch TV, Watch Media Player, Play DVD/Blu-ray discs, Stream Netflix and Play My Music and turn off also with one touch. This remote lets you log and load all the commands for you devices from Harmonys extensive library and setup activities to use them in logical sequence. The only difficulty you may find is that some sound bars have complicated interfaces to smart TV's. Some older components have on/off controls that toggle with repeated pushes rather than having a code for each. This remote transitions smoothly if you want to change activity and when done one push off. While it seems a little pricey it will save you a ton of frustration. Top Marks for the Ultimate One Touch.

Great for first time users
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great remote that'll control everything in your house including tv, cable box, receiver, bluray player, xbox, fan, ac... just about anything with infrared sensor. Only negative is I'm upgrading from older Harmony One remote and this is a huge step backwards in my opinion. I don't understand why Logitech decided to change the layout and place the DVR controls on the top. Good luck using those controls without hitting the screen, unless you got huge banana hands. Another negative is the short battery life. My old Harmony One averages 3-4 weeks between charge, this new remote lasts about 3-4 days between charges. Still, it is a fantastic remote and I would buy another one immediately if this one crapped out.

Great remote, battery life suffers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my 3rd logitech harmony remote so it is fair to say that I am a huge fan. I have 2 Harmony 880's right now and love the usability factor. I was a big fan of the idea of having a touchscreen feedback, but the tactile vibration feedback makes it very easy to determine if accidental presses occur. My only issue and complaint is the battery life. It seems that I charge this every week while my 880's still go for several weeks on a single charge. I think the touchscreen really does allow for use nice customization, but at the expense of battery life. I can't decide if that's a scarifice that is worth making. I still think the 880 is my favorite remote ever made.

Good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The remote was easy to set up and program. Once I started using, the commands seem to be slow. I use it to control my TV, Apple TV and soundbar. There's a minor delay once you select the command. Also the battery doesn't seem to last as long as i though but not terrible. Overall it gets the job done and is a pretty good product with minor issues/complaints.

This remote does it all.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second Logitech Harmony. My first remote lasted well over 8 years and never had any issues except the battery would no longer maintain a charge. I was so satisfied with my first one that I decided to buy another. This remote will control almost anything u program in to it. It is very easy to set up and effortless to use. One buton turns on/off everything. The help feature fixes any issue with ease. My only complaint is that the battery life seems a bit short but I do use it quite a bit every day. I will forever continue to use Logitech for my remote needs.

Overall a pretty decent remote
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this remote to replace my Harmony One. When designing this remote, it is clear that Logitech was trying to put as few buttons as possible. They put most of the functionality on the scrolling touch screen and made some of the buttons dual purpose (The channel down/up buttons are also the page up/down buttons). This can be annoying at times. I have only had this remote for a few weeks but it is pretty good. I think it will get better when Logitech releases software updates. Maybe this will increase the battery life. I am rating it three stars because of the short battery life. It seems like I have to put it on the charger every other day. My Harmony One would go a week or two between charging (with the same amount of use). I suspect that the shortened battery life is a result of more reliance on the touch screen.

It's OK, but the old Harmony One is much better
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as a replacement for an older Logitech Harmony One. It's a step backwards in many respects compared to the Harmony One. It doesn't have a physical keypad which makes using it as a replacement for your cable/DVR remote awkward if you just want to punch in channels. There is a touch keypad screen available, but it is really awkward to use compared to a physical keypad. From an ergonomic perspective this is about as bad as it can get. It is awkwardly balanced and very thin at the end of the device. The FWD and REV buttons are located on the end of the remote and are really not positioned in a logical place. The battery life isn't nearly as good as the Harmony One either as it needs a recharge within about 3-4 days even if it hasn't been used very often within that time frame. The ability to use gestures on the touch screen seems like a unique idea, but in practice it doesn't work smoothly. Overall it's an OK device and fairly well built, but for the money there are a lot of shortcomings.

Very easy to use if your patient.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my 2nd Harmony remote. It replaced a AR that is no longer available and just started to have too many problems that I couldn't work around. It is easy to program if you've done setup for this type remote before using USB and PC. Everything works well if you spend time programming it. If you just need to operate a tv and dvr you can get a cheaper remote and use a couple of codes. The Harmony's great if you want to control everything in a home theater and some home automation. It took me a few days to get used to the touch screen it's very sensitive compared to the AR. I'm using it with the Hub and all components are hidden. No probs so far expect it to be as good as all Logitech products.

Easy to use, but comes with issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Set up fairly easy. You need to register to program the remote before you can use it. The LED screen when used is very sensitive and care is needed to avoid unwanted clicks. Takes awhile to get used to the LED screen functions. I prefer the old fashion way with toggle buttons. Biggest issue: buttons are very close to each other, particularly power and rewind button and is easy to push both at same time which interferes with function

Ultimate One
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very complicated device made simple if downloaded to the computer for setup. I tried without a computer, big mistake. This does have glitches, they happen one time and gone the next? The remote changes with the active device selected, confusing for everyone, so I have to run it most of the time. Sweet but still sour.

Some tech knowledge helpful
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This works great once you have everything synced up. I m very familiar with the Harmony family. I have been using and recommending Harmony for years, so I had few issues. Some knowledge base of the way IR/WiFi work is helpful. You may have to do some tuning up of the system as you go along. Also having a laptop handy is helpful.
