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.

Sleek design, both in terms of cosmetics and ergonomics; sharp LCD that offers a touch-screen interface and touch-sensitive buttons for navigation of onscreen menus; Web programmable via Windows or Mac PCs; excellent button layout and design; rechargeable lithium-ion battery and docking station.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Following on from the PDA-style king of the range, the Harmony 1000, this is a more conventional-looking controller which borrows some of the elements of its older sibling to great effect.

My opinion of the Harmony One is almost irrelevant (in case your curious, I love it and highly recommend it,) because the real endorsement is that my non-technical fiancée loves it and tells her friends they should get one because she no longer needs help switching from watching cable to playing...

Awesome! The best universal remote there is. Real buttons, lights up when you touch it, has fell on a hardwood floor many times.

With the changing menu systems of TVs in regards to input changing, it can make setting up multiple "activities" across different devices a headache. This is not initially a problem with the software, but is something that should be worked around. What I'm specifically referencing is when you...

I have been using this remote for a few years to control no fewer than 8 devices, only my boxee box won't work with it. I have had to reprogram it several times when I upgraded my TV, DVR and receiver, without any problems.

The Harmony One is the only universal remote I've owned that hasn't put undue years on my life. I've had my current model 3 years and because it's been dropped many times it's starting to show signs of shutting down on me. But the biggest compliment I can give is this. The day my remote...
