"Nice design
Easy to set up
Very responsive, clear touchscreen...Expensive...The Harmony One is curvaceous, a welcome change from the previous flat and broad Harmony 1000...Speaking of cradles, the package comes with a black flat one that has its front panel carved out exactly in the remote’s shape...With the help of the setup disc/USB cable included in the package, starting up the remote is easy......" read more »

"Its main objective is to allow the user to eliminate all other remotes and solely use the 1100 as the single entity to direct multiple home theater devices needing orders at the same time...Logitech spares no modesty in its confidence to do just that, as the startup screen on the 1100 welcomes you with its boastful claim, “Finally, One Remote To Control Them All...The Harmony 1100 has a few tweaks that its predecessor, the 1000 model, arguably needed from the start...The overall consensus is that it is significantly faster, not only in touchscreen response time but also the IR transmission...The 1100 made its mark on this year's CES in Las Vegas by nabbing the CES 2009 Design and Engineering Award for the Best of Innovations in the Home-Entertainment Accessories category..." read more »

"/* */.../* */...Logitech must think that there should be some correlation between cost and the size of the box, with the LX 700 shipping with more clean air than any other setup here...On a more positive note function keys are rarely used, which is probably the reason why Logitech recommends changing their use...Above and to the left of the standard layout you'll find a selection of buttons, wheels and scroll rockers that are designed to make accessing..." read more »

"Activity-based control
>
Simple setup process
>
Backlit touch-screen...May not be as good as all your existing remotes...The Harmony series takes this as a starting point: tell it what devices you own and then tell it what you do with them...All of this has led to very high marks for the Harmony 785 in the past, but there were snags...The Harmony 1000 goes a step beyond and drops traditional design in favour of a wide, flat aluminium shape and a 3.5in..." read more »

"The Logitech Harmony 670 is a throwback to the comfortable peanut-shape design of old, with DVR-friendly buttons placed in the center...It retains the same...The 670 isn't as sleek or as stylish as the more-recent "flat" Harmony models...Moreover, it lacks the...The 670 recognized at least 85% of the device buttons...The interview format on the Logitech web site is OK for initial setup, after that, it is a pain to have to navigate through the interview stuff..." read more »

"Overall, Intrigue Technologies has made significant improvements to the Harmony’s intuitiveness...Users picking up the SST-659 for the first time can be expected to grasp the activity-based concept immediately, while the SST-768 or SST-748 are more likely to require lengthier contemplation and fiddling before their operation becomes clear...Although everything with the Harmony isn’t perfect – and I’ve never seen a remote that could make that claim – the SST-659 represents a significant jump forwards for Intrigue in balancing the best of the activity and device-based worlds...With hard buttons for practically every common function, the SST-659 is also the first Harmony that can truly be called a full-fledged hard buttoned dream...If you’ve liked the idea of the Harmony in the past but just couldn’t stand to part with your separate menu, transport and keypad buttons, the SST-659 offers an intriguing alternative..." read more »
"Some reviewers have faulted the Harmony 880 for its smaller buttons, however many are shaped in such a way that they peak in the middle and can be easily manipulated...The only downside I found to the buttons was their responsiveness, in comparison to my TiVo remote for example, the Harmony 880 remote moves through the menu slower than the original TiVo remote..." read more »
