Review on ๐Ÿ“ฑ Enhanced Universal Remote Control: Logitech Harmony One (No Longer in Production) by Sean Chase

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well with some help

Worked great for a while - had some problems over time due to changes in TV/CoxBox/SoundSystem/AppleTV/etc. - still works quite well. The problem is usually minor and easily fixed with some quick workarounds that we've learned that don't take more than a few seconds. For example, if we press AppleTV and there is no sound - that's because the remote didn't select the correct setting for AppleTV on the Bose - the workaround is simple - we just press the device button on the remote - select the correct setting - and bingo - done. In the worst case we turn everything off and then select what we need: TV, DVD, AppleTV and it works again, sometimes with a workaround. I would buy it again. The model is quite old (by electronic standards) - but it's just not worth buying a new one - in the worst case - if something doesn't start properly - we hit the shutdown button - and when everything is off, just choose what we want, and it works, requiring small workarounds for some of the choices. Post-purchase setup - connecting to a computer and programming on Logitech's website - requires a bit more effort, as in our case at least some components (like our old Bose system) weren't listed. But that wasn't a big problem either.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can be damaged
