"Well designed
Lots of devices covered
Easy to set up...Touch screen display can slow things down
Expensive for a remote control...If your lounge is home to more entertainment equipment than just a TV and DVD player, it's likely you also have a bunch of remote controls cluttering up the coffee table...You can also create macros to send multiple commands with one press of a button...During our testing it worked fine, although with only six controls able..." read more »
Retrevo's Recommendation: Good Buy if you want high end
"Logitech Harmony 900 lets you put all your home-entertainment equipment behind walls or cabinet doors without losing control (up to 100 feet away), thanks to RF technology...As far as a recommendation, it comes down to what you are looking for...While the RF support on the 900 is nice, I could live without it..." read more »
Retrevo's Recommendation: Buy with caution if you really want it
"Based on the familiar shape shared with new and old remotes such as the Harmony 550 and Advanced Universal Remote for Xbox 360, the Harmony 510 has a different color scheme and a slightly different key configuration, including two fewer buttons...Unlike the 550, however, the less expensive 510 includes a battery status indicator and guided online set-up, in addition to what Logitech calls Onboard Intelligence and One-Touch Activity-Based control functions...Physically, the 510 differs from the 550 as it replaces the bottom Sound, Picture and A and B buttons with four color-coded buttons that act as shortcuts and gets rid of two dedicated up and down buttons...Like the other Harmony remotes, the 510 requires four AAA batteries to operate, and is compatible with Windows XP and Vista as well as Mac OS X 10.3 or later..." read more »
Retrevo's Recommendation: Average Buy for Everyone
"The remote control hasn't been around long in the overall scheme of life on Earth, but its evolution over the past thirty years has mirrored that of human kind in an eerily similar way...From its humble sonic-click hunter-gatherer-like beginnings, the remote has spread steadily like a virus, multiplying in numbers...It's a problem Logitech aims to solve with its Harmony 1000..." read more »

"The RM-AX4000A consolidates multiple remote controls into one, making it the perfect solution for your home AV system...The RM-AX4000A also controls up to 16 components, and with the Sync-up Key, synchronizing operational status on remote and alternate components is done with ease...The remote is wonderful once you get it programmed but the setup process could be a lot cleaner (hence the 4 stars...Replacing an older RM-AV3000, I just got the RM-AX4000..." read more »
