The editors didn't like
No Windows phone app
Devices can get out of sync if they are turned off at the device rather than through the remote
It's not cheap
Expensive
Not a revolutionary upgrade over the previous flagship Harmony remote
No voice search capabilities
Limited to controlling 15 A/V devices
IR blasters not the best solution for an enclosed entertainment center
Poor replacement for a Sonos controller
Significantly cheaper versions like the Harmony Home Control can do almost as much. The battery only lasts a couple of days per charge
So you'll have to remember to keep it in the charging cradle between uses
Alexa skill is very limited
Easy to get started
But there's a considerable learning curve to master
