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.

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.

Brilliant device. No problems setting up and was an easy port from an earlier version. Battery life is slightly worse than older Logitech 895 but still acceptable.

I've bought (and returned) many of the Harmony remotes, even before Logitech acquired and bastardized them. Of all of the Harmony remotes, I think this is by far the best in the line. It has a great ergonomic design, allowing you to operate it almost entirely by touch. This is something that...
