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.
Most of the features of the Harmony 1000i for $300 less, new touchscreen LCD, rechargeable cradle for Lithium Ion battery, favourite channel buttons with graphics.
Still $400 for a remote, awkward with idiosyncratic devices, confusing to use for tech illiterates, software obtrusive on your PC.

A fantastic universal remote, Logitechs Harmony One is able to vastly simplify home entertainment. For users with expansive setups, this is an excellent way to bring them all together.
Abstract: I’ve reviewed so many Harmony remotes you’d think I’m biased toward them. Well, OK, I am. The Logitech Harmony One is the best so far and perfect for a multi-component home entertainment system. Two things set Harmony remotes apart from many of the ot...
Touchscreen display, Easy to set up, Can control numerous devices with ease
Need a PC or Mac connection, May need some fiddling with when putting in codes
Logitech has firmly ensconced itself in the world of AV through its Harmony universal remote series and, to a lesser effect, its iPod docks. So following on from the PDA-style king of the range, the Harmony 1000, this is a more conventional-looking con...

Large, responsive buttons; very flexible setup software; great touchscreen
Doesnt have dedicated red, green, yellow and blue buttons; sluggish software
The sluggish software means that it can take time to perfect the Logitech Harmony Ones settings, but once youve got it working with your kit you’ll find its a seriously powerful universal remote that still manages to retain the feel of a traditiona...

Download instructions from internet, colour lcd touchscreen
Take around 30 minutes to setup, didnt work perfectly
The Harmony One remote control from Logitech will save you valuable clicking time in front of the television but is a lot more expensive than other all in one systems.
