I'll start by saying that I love it. It has all the features of a remote control and more. However; I must say that there is a lot of getting used to before mastering this control. You need to go through a few swipes or menus to get where you want, but once you have the control set up to your specific preference, it works as a dream. So far so good. 4 stars because you have to connect the remote to your computer to perform any change on it.

I like the remote, I'll looks cool, very customizable with up to 15 devices. Nice display, rechargeable. I'm not impressed with trying to switch from watching TV to a movie, it's going to turn off the devices that are already on. So you have to select each device, turn them on and use it like a basic all in one remote. But if everything is off and you choose the category you want, it turns everything you want on for that category. What I really like is my favorite channels are on the remote display with the channel icons and you can scroll through them very easily.

I have been a repeat customer of the Logitech Harmony programmable remotes because it is worth it to me to consolidate all my remotes and be able to hit one programmed button per application. I currently have the Logitech Harmony Ultimate One remote for my main video/audio multimedia entertainment system and I have recently purchased the Logitech Harmony Touch remote for my multimedia entertainment system in my workout room. There are two main differences between the Logitech Harmony Ultimate One and the Harmony Touch other than price (Touch is usually cheaper than the Ultimate). The Ultimate touch screen wakes up (comes out of sleep/power conserving mode) with motion versus having to touch the screen on the Touch. Also, the Ultimate has touch vibration feedback when you touch a button on the touch screen.and the Touch does NOT have this vibration feedback. Since I use a treadmill in my workout, I bought the Harmony Touch for the sole purpose it doesn't wake-up due to motion and you literally have to touch the screen to wake it up.The Harmony Ultimate remote will always stay on ( won't go in to sleep mode to conserve battery usage) when placed on the treadmill due to the vibration created from running on the treadmill.. Programming the Harmony Touch was pretty easy since I am familiar with programming the Harmony Ultimate. The Logitech Harmony Remotes are not cheap by no means, but if you can buy it on sale, then it is well worth consolidating multiple remotes (5 remotes in my case) into one Harmony remote and being able touch one programmed button to turn on all pertinent audio/video equipment and automatically set each piece of equipment to their corresponding settings. Prior to the Harmony remotes, my wife had problems when it came to using my audio/video entertainment system. If you want to make it easy for your wife, buy her a Harmony remote.
