Conclusion: We like it
The Harmony One, Logitech's flagship universal remote, uses the Harmony database of over 200k products to manage up to fifteen devices for your setup -- even including media PCs and air conditioners. The less expensive Harmony 700 is limited by controlling up to six devices (and has fewer multi-device macros for common actions), and doesn't have the One's charging cradle and lighter battery. Really, about the only trick the touchscreen-enabled One is missing is the ability to control devices in your basement or closet (if you need something to do that, check out the more expensive Harmony 900). Just beware the Harmony desktop app; although the device database is frequently updated, the configuration software is extraordinarily painful to use. Fortunately, you won't need it very often.

Logitech's latest remote, the $250 (as of 2/1/08) Harmony One requires little brainpower to use--once you become accustomed to the touch screen and are past the setup process.

Read the full review →In the world of universal remote controls, you can spend more than the Logitech Harmony One costs, but few universal remotes will offer you more convince than you can get here. The Logitech Harmony One is an awesome product and something that even modest home theaters will be lost without.
Read the full review →Harmony has managed to add touch-screen tech to a smaller and more affordable unit with great results, while ... updating the ergonomics and general usability ... The result is a universal remote that offers a lot of bang for the buck and doesn't sacrifice usability in the name of convenience.

After being a diehard Pronto user, the Harmony One has been a great change. While lacking in the customization features on the Pronto, the Harmony One's built in logic to track whether a device is on/off makes life a lot easier when you have components without discrete Power on/off. The unit...

Best. Remote. Ever. The only remote I've owned with better overall ergonomics was my original Tivo "peanut" remote. Well organized and most of all it completely simplifies how we use our entertainment center. The only thing I could wish for would be deeper control of my Mac Mini, but that's...

Using the software is a pita, but once you have a setup, you don't need to modify it. Huge WAF - being able to get all the different devices up and running with one button is a huge win.

Both my parents and I have these remotes from Logitech. You have to use your computer to attach the remote and load the operating codes into them. BUT, my parents just upgraded their Apple Computer and now they can't get the computer to recognize the remote. Solutions are posted on Logitech's...

There is no excuse to have half a dozen remotes on your coffee table if you can afford this. And if you have half a dozen devices to go with those remotes, you most likely can afford it.
