The editors didn't like
Expensive
No RF capability
Finish shows fingerprints and smudges
Setup isn't always intuitive or easy
No RF support
Touchscreen works best with two hands
Requires more direct line of site than previous models
Some buttons are difficult to reach with one hand. Charging station is not well designed.
For a remote so advanced
Logitech should have made its Harmony One RF capable.
Pricey. Touch screen requires you to look at the remote to be sure you hit the correct buttons. Glossy black finish shows fingerprints and is prone to smudges.
Requires lots of time to set up multiple activities
Computer required for initial setup
Product-specific functions not always easy to find
Pricey
Touchscreen may be small to read for some users
Using touchscreen can be tricky to use if you have large fingertips
Bluray and HDDVD player device listing needs to be separated from DVD device listing

Touch screen is very small and offers less options than previous models
So will be cumbersome to use in large complicated systems
Like the traditional remotes it replaces
Requires lineofsight
IR pointing versus multiroomspanning RF commands.
Likes finger prints
Changes channels incorrectly on occasion
Glossy black surface prone to smudging
Some automated functions are kooky and need to be manually reprogrammed. No RF means you have to stand right in front of your gear.
Abstract: I've been using the Harmony 880 for a while now and while it's a good remote, it does have some problems. At CES, Logitech had on display their latest one and going over the item briefly, I saw that they did address some of the shortcomings of the 880....

No RF support, Touchscreen works best with two hands
PerformanceSome components have a weight and a heft that say, "Im packed with technology." Pick up an iPhone, and you can just tell that its crammed with silicon and magic. Surprisingly, the One doesnt give off that vibe. Even the "inferior" Model 6...
Abstract: I will start this review off by saying, I am a huge couch potato. I have had several remotes on my coffee table in the past 2 years, and I needed a solution. So during CES, when Logitech showed off the new Harmony One, I begged my contact at Logitech t...

The Harmony One is easy to use and easy to setup. Be sure to have plenty of time to setup; the suggested time is 30 minutes, but it depends on how many activities and devices you are entering. Once everything is setup and ready to go, the Harmony One h...
The Logitech Harmony ONE Advanced Universal Remote Control is truly an advanced piece of equipment. In fact, it can be argued that it is more advanced than most people that will operate it. Once setup, the Harmony ONE truly does it all. When you do ...

Abstract: I recently had the opportunity to test a new remote control from Logitech. Those of you who are audio or videophiles will recognize the Logitech Harmony series of remotes. These remotes work on the concept of "activities", such as watching TV, or a DVD...

There are many "universal remotes" that can than replace some of the functions of your remote control collection, but the Logitech Harmony One Universal Remote Control can just about do it all, and is not any larger than most single component remotes. ...

No RF compatibility; somewhat pricey.
While its missing an RF option, Logitechs Harmony One is one of the best--if not the best--universal remote weve ever tested.
Comfortable design, Contoured buttons for easy memorization, Huge support, relatively easy to configure, No batteries,
Issues with installation using a Mac, Could have felt more solid
The hardware itself is solid, except for some minor rattling, which I would rather not want to deal with for a product with this high a price tag. There were no issues with the buttons or design that I could mention, and the touch screen was sensitive...
