Incredible remote
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Very simple setup. Pop in CD that comes with it, connect remote to PC USB (thru included cable), & follow menu instructions. All of my components were in the CD. Program will go online to find oddballs if needed. In event there simply is no info available for your device, it will learn from the current remote. I can't believe how simple it was to get up & running - no more than ...

Finally, I only need one remote.
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Setting up the remote via the USB cable is extremely easy (as long as you know the model numbers of your components). Back lit buttons make it easy to use while it's dark. I enjoy using the remote's "activities" feature. One good thing about having an online account with Logitech is that they store your settings for you, so even if you computer crashes or everything on the remote...

A Love / Hate Relationship
Summary:
A great remote, but one that may take many hours of your time to set up
Pros:
- Good ergonomics
- Nice tactile feel on buttons
- Highly configurable
- Seems to put out a strong signal (better then my factory remotes)
- Non-rechargable (I consider this a plus)
Cons:
- Setup is easy, but getting it right can take hours
- Not easy to map device buttons to activity buttons
- No dedicated "decimal point" f...

Great Remote, controls everything including my Roomba!
Well, my Sima SUR-20 remote finally died after 5 years, so I had to find a replacement. I decided that I wanted a true universal/learning remote that had more than just a touchscreen. I started my search with Harmony because I have heard a lot of good things about them. My criteria included: learning, full macros, configurable, easy to use for less technologically advanced people, good button lay out, and no rechargeable batteries. This pretty much ruled out the 880, 720, and 890. Honestly, I'm...

Cleaned up the clutter
Bought this refurbished...arrived quickly, looks new. Works with all my products, just takes some time to adjust the remote settings to my needs (this is my first universal remote, so I'm learning as I go). Seems to include all the fuctions of products, even worked with a ten year old Pioneer mini-stereo system.

Logitech Harmony Is The "World's Best Remote. Period!!!"
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Logitech Harmony Is The "World's Best Remote. Period!!!"
Let me start out by saying that any negative reviews that you hear about Logitech Harmony remotes are from people that don't have patience or from those that did not pass 5th grade.
I have had Onkyo's RC model universal learning remote for more than 5 years till a few of the buttons started dying. I wasn't ...

OK, but worse than the 6xx series
I already had a Harmony 628 and two 659's. I am a big fan of the Harmony concept and liked the 659 model with a single big exception: the location of the DVD/VCR play/fast-forward/stop/etc. controls at the very bottom of the remote where they are hard to access one handed. The 628 has those controls located further north on the remote, but it is missing some buttons that are useful with TIVO.
The 5xx series at first appears to be an improvement on the 6xx series. Specifically, the ...

One of the WORST high end remote controls ever
I have tried so many different remote controls over the years that I have lost count, and memory of most.
I have not forgotten the Logitech Harmony 550 which I just pulled out two days ago to give it another try after re-configuring my home components.
DON'T BUY THIS REMOTE!
It works .... But what you have to do to get it to work the way you want it to is so needlessly time consuming, complicated and very difficult.
The software required is web based...
