Logitech Harmony One Review
The Logitech Harmony One is a truly unique advanced universal remote control that can command up to fifteen devices at any given time. It features one touch controls which completely simplifies the user experience. If you’re anything like me and my family then you have multiple electronic devices that all have their own remote controls. You probably have three to four remotes cluttering up you living or family rooms which get confusing for you and your guests. I can’t tell you how many times someone other than me as tried to operate my television and stereo and quickly gave up based on how confusing the entire system is to operate. The Logitech Harmony One eliminates all that frustration and allows the users to full enjoy their entertainment without the stress.
The Logitech Harmony One features one touch controls which completely solidifies you entertainment experience. All you need to do is press one of the buttons at the top which easily describes that form of entertainment that you’re looking to use. Some of the options include, “Watch TV” or “Watch a DVD”. It really is that simple to use. All you need to do is press the button at the top to start enjoying your content.
The screen on the Logitech Harmony One is in full color and is operated with the touch of your finger rather than a menu on the device. Literally all you need to do is press one of the buttons with any of your fingers to start having fun. It’s the simplest way to enjoy entertainment that I know of. The screen is also backlit along with the buttons on the device. If you’re sitting in the dark you won’t have to worry about trying to find the volume buttons on your Logitech Harmony One remote.
One of its best features is the fact that you can program up to fifteen devices into it at any given time. This allows you to possibly replace fifteen different remote controls that could be laying around your house. You’ll never have to worry about losing the DVD remote since it’s always programmed into your new Logitech Harmony One. Don’t worry about buying batteries either. The Logitech Harmony One is completely rechargeable. Any time you’re not using the device, simply place it back onto its recharging base station for a recharge. It doesn’t require that much juice so you’ll be able to get all the power you’ll need after only a few minutes in the charging station.
The design of the device is also one of its coolest features. While most remote controls are bulky and heavy, the Logitech Harmony One was specifically designed to be comfortably held in the user’s hand. You’ll never want to put this baby down. It’s lean, light, and smooth to the touch. The design of the device was specifically created to enhance the user experience with the most common button placements perfectly set to where the user’s fingers and thumbs would easily be able to use them.
It works on over two hundred and twenty five thousand devices. That’s right, two hundred and twenty five thousand. Over five thousand brands are supported as well. You’ll be hard pressed to find a device that doesn’t have a program code that works with the Logitech Harmony One. It pretty much guarantees that this device will be relevant in the future as well. Any new devices that are created will have codes that can easily be programmed into this remote.
Believe it or not you can even connect this to your computer which gives a step by step guided walk though of the set up of the device. Every button is addressed including the most common features that the users will want to take advantage of immediately. If you run into trouble and need some extra support, Logitech’s customer service department will be standing by to help out.
It comes with a one year limited warranty and comes complete with the Logitech Harmony One remote control, charging station, USB cable, AC Adapter, lithium-ion battery, Installation CD, and Installation guide. Everything you need to securely get started using your new super remote. It was even given several awards including Best of CES in 2008, Best of Innovations: Home Theatre Accessories in 2008, and CNET Editors’ Choice Award in 2008. Most users give it glowing reviews as well. The Logitech Harmony One truly is a breakthrough in home entertainment which would be a perfect addition to any home theatre set up.

If you asked me to name the most important device of the past 100 years, I would have to say the Fleshlight. But if you asked me to name 2 devices, the Logitech Harmony One makes the cut!
