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

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

Alexa skill is very limited
Easy to get started
But there's a considerable learning curve to master
