Works well, looks nice

Pros Works well. Telephone support is friendly and effective.
Cons Minor user interface glitches on Mac OS. Slow telephone support.
Recommended it? Yes

After buying a new flatscreen TV then hooking up our game console, DVD player, VCR, and stereo system, we had 5 remote controls to deal with. Even our modest setup required remembering how our devices are interconnected then using 2 or 3 remote controls just to be able to watch TV.

Great remote, appalling concept.

I'll preview this review by saying:
Remote - 4 stars
Method of programming remote - zero stars

The Logitech Harmony series of remotes rely on a web-based interface to set up the remote. When reading other reviews, it wasn't clear that this actually means "web interface" not... Read full review »

A great idea, but maybe only for the tech-savvy or extremely patient

Pros Very powerful idea, extremely flexible design
Cons Getting to work can be something of a chore
Recommended it? Yes

After using a Sony learning remote for years, my system recently got much more sophisticated and I needed to upgrade to something with a little more brains. Enter the Harmony remote.

All of the different remotes in the Harmony line run in the exact same way, they just differ as to how... Read full review »

So Simple, Even a Woman Can Use It!

Pros It works.
Cons Set up somewhat time consuming; possible low battery life.
Recommended it? Yes

(And before you accuse me of being politically incorrect, I AM a woman – and not only female, but that rarest of breeds, a middle aged woman who appreciates the "cool' factor in techno gadgets that work). :)

Despite the fact I swore I would not spend a single dime on any more... Read full review »

Keep searching for a better universal remote

byaaronkgreen Dec 6, 2006
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Looks good, nice backlighting, compatible with almost anything
Cons cheap feel, odd ergonomics, didn't do what it said it would
Recommended it? No

I bought this remote hoping to consolidate the four remotes I now have to use to run my stuff. Not too hard: Sony receiver and DVD, Dell TV, and Dish satellite box. That's all. The remote found all the devices through its internet interface, so that was OK. The problem I had was that it refused,... Read full review »

Good remote, Fair price

byscubatromp Feb 6, 2006
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Functions as advertised; good looks; good price
Cons Black surface shows fingerprints; buttons seem flimsy; less hot buttons than 600 series.
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased a 676 in late December. The upper right button didn't work consistently so I returned it for a second 676 which worked fine. The build quality of the 676 is excellent. You could easily drop the remote and expect it to work. It had a nice rubber type casing. The 676 can control up to 15... Read full review »

I got this remote as a gift.  I aways wanted to have one remote for all my electronics.
Over the years I had a bunch of them but no one REALLY delivered the promise..
I was skeptical about this one but then I discovered how powerful it was.
IT REALLY WORKS.  REALLY, TRULY, NO... Read full review »

too tedious...

Pros I give the styling 3 out of 5 stars
Cons off balance, poor backlight, doesn't program fast/well, won't control devices...
Recommended it? No

I normally believe "you get what you pay for" but woah, not here.
This remote takes an hour and a half to setup, start to finish.
Then during testing, all kinds of problems. It won't consistantly perform the same operations. It loses settings. There is considerable "tuning" to this remote... Read full review »

I owned a harmony 880 for about a week before returning it. Decided to try the less complex 520 with hopefully fewer software bugs. I liked this remote and it seemed to work a bit better than the 880. It still didn't like to learn as it should. After repeated programming the remote would work... Read full review »

Consider the 550 Instead

Pros It's a Logitech Harmony.
Cons The screen is virtually unreadable.
Recommended it? No

I already owned a Harmony 720 for my main AV system. I LOVE that remote, but I couldn't justify the cost of another 720 for my bedroom system, so I bought the 520. I really wanted to like it, but couldn't. There's nothing wrong with the functionality, but the font on the screen is too small and too... Read full review »
