LOGITECH 550: One in "perfect" harmony.

Pretty much every household has more than one device at home with a remote control. That can get out of hand very quickly when shuffling between them is a hassle and worse yet, the one needed is suddenly missing. It may not qualify as essential, but the Harmony 550 struck my sweet spot in a near... Read full review »

"Stupid universal remotes. They'll never understand me", I'd grumble disdainfully as I ripped open a new 20-pack of AA batteries. "They just don't get it. MY setup is different!"

That's true. My home theater setup is different, in the same way as everyone else's in 2006. We have DVD, PVR,... Read full review »

An enjoyable, or frustrating remote - your experience will vary!

Pros Takes total control of your system making systems easier for people overwhelmed by them.  
Cons The fact that it demands "total control" can be frustrating if you sometimes...
Recommended it? Yes

I bought the Harmony 550 remote when we recently made a change to our AV system that was incompatible with our previous remote.  It seemed to be a good unit at a very favorable price ($79) when recently on sale.

I've been pleased with the remote in some regards, but very disappointed in... Read full review »

Versatile but pricy remote with good looks

14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Supports practically ANYTHING out there, good styling
Cons Software could be more user-friendly, costly remote, small buttons
Recommended it? Yes

I've been trying all sorts of "Universal" remotes over the years, trying to find one that can actually take the place of my 6 or 7 assorted remotes that came with my AV devices. I've basically steered clear of anything in the $100+ price range, with the philosophy that a remote has no need to cost... Read full review »

The Logitech Harmony 550 universal remote offers an easy, stress-free way to control an entire home theater setup. The Harmony is just like any other universal remote in the sense that you can program it to control all of your devices, but that is where its similarity with a typical "x-in-1" remote...

Pros Easy to use and program. PC and Mac compatible. Supports thousands of devices.
Cons Requires an internet connection to program the remote. At $129, it's a bit pricey.
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased the Logitech Harmony 550 Universal Remote yesterday, and I'm very happy with it. I've used other universal remotes before, but this one is really different. What's different? It uses PC or Mac software to help you set up your remote, and after you've done an inventory of all your remote... Read full review »

Logitech Harmony 550 - Sweet and Sour

Pros Very intelligent macros. Easy setup (no codes!) Excellently designed hardware.
Cons Complicated tweaking after initial setup. One color LCD screen.
Recommended it? Yes

There comes a time in every electronics lover when the small pile of remotes on the coffee table becomes unsightly and noticeable. At first, it's funny and almost a gives you a sense of pride to have so many devices - each with it's own remote. Reality sets in and your wife calls from the room with... Read full review »

Pros Online list of devices
Cons Cannot read screen - makes device unusable.<br>No support.
Recommended it? No

Logitech has such a good brand reputation; it is hard to believe that they let the Harmony 550 LCD remote product go out.

I have always seen good reviews of the Logitech Harmony remotes, I thought it would be good to have a backup of my remote setup on the computer. That is why I bought it... Read full review »

Recommended it? No

I loved the features and near-universal device support and have been an enthusiastic user, having spent ~6 hours fine tuning the thing. I've finally had to admit that it's a bust.

There are a couple of design flaws that, IMO, are fatal.

a) you have to buy into the "activities"... Read full review »

Not a usable remote

Pros Nice list of features. Almost a perfect remote
Cons Poor implementation of actual use. Wait a generation to see if they get it right.
Recommended it? No

This remote is really cool - it has a large database of available device to operate, a programmable interface, the ability show custom buttons in a configurable display, and a generally good shape and feel in your hand.

Given all that, I found it totally unusable. It has one feature which... Read full review »
