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 →Logitech's newest universal remote features better ergonomics and adds a gorgeous color touch-screen display, but still offers dead-simple programming and one-touch control over all your home-theater gear.
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.

Pretty good device - I personally don't think universal remotes need any kind of touch screens on them - touch screens are meant to be watched, and i like pointing my remote and clicking away.

Like everyone else has stated: the biggest CON is the Logitech software. Worst UI of a consumer product. I work in IT and even I found it to be a nightmare. Otherwise, the remote is THE KING once you have it configured.

I have been VERY pleased with the Logitech Harmony One remote. I have a number of different devices of varying ages and this remote supported them all. The activity based interface is amazingly intuitive and setup was easy and painless (besides having to track down some model numbers). The...

I finally bought one after my last Harmony remote bit the dust. To me the harmony range has got steadily worse. This is the 4th Harmony i've owned, and the one I like the least. I avoided it before because of the lack of the four colour buttons. The next model down , doesn't control enough...

For years when I would sit down to watch TV I would have to surround myself with remotes. I had finally decided to get a universal remote, and after a ton of internet search I decided on the Harmony One. If I hadn't had a gift certificate, I don't think I would have dropped the money...
