Logitech Harmony 890

Pros: Highly recommended. All of your devices controlled by ONE remote, from ANYWHERE in the house?

Cons: A little cumbersome to set up, but totally worth it.

The Bottom Line: I recommend this remote. It has a lot of great features and makes a complex home theater very easy to operate.

Review: I have now had this remote for 4 months and I LOVE it! It does take a little work to set up but it is totally worth it once you're done. I have read other people reviews and there are some that get frustrated and finally give up saying the remote is...

Pros: Eliminate a coffee table full of remotes ... effortlessly!

Cons: I honestly can't think of any!

The Bottom Line: Sick of getting calls from your family/friends on what button to push to get sound/picture. Problem ELIMINATED!

Review: Remotes!! Don't even get me started. As a custom home A/V integrator of many years, CONTROL (or lack thereof) is THE fly in the ointment for many customers.

For many years, clients really had a Faustian choice. They could:
1) Purchase...

Pros: Worked well from initial setup, nice controls layout, fully backlit, great on-remote screen help

Cons: Software for updates can be confusing/counterintuitive

The Bottom Line: Very pleased with the purchase - have been sorely disappointed with other universal remotes, but this one gets it right.

Review: I received the Logitech Harmony 890 a few days ago & after the initial setup, it was about 95% there. I have only spent a little time on it since working on the couple of tweaks I need to get it exactly right, but am confident I can get it to 100%...

Pros: Works as promised Quick Set-up

Cons: Feels Cheap Ergonomics Crashes

The Bottom Line: I would recommend the Harmony 890 to someone who wants quick setup but who does not really care about response time, ergonomics, or configurability.

Review: I am not an installer, just your average person who has an obsession with his home theater. I purchased the Harmony 890 after a cup of coffee killed my pronto TSU 6000. Although I pretended to be upset, I was secretly happy. I was tired of the touch...

Pros: This remote does it all! Great interface and help menus make it easy for all!

Cons: Smooth buttons aren't as easy to feel

The Bottom Line: If you want to get rid of the remote clutter and use just one, this is the one! It will also help you make complex systems easy to use.

Review: Overview
Overall, I can't say enough about this remote! I love it! For once there is a universal remote that one can hold, which will truly replace every IR and RF remote that you own! Many products come with universal remotes that can...

Pros: Ease of use, value if you need an RF/IR blaster

Cons: Individual devices have many menus to scroll through.

Review: Best remote from a convenience standpoint and price if you add up how much comparable IR repeater and RF converters cost. Setup is so easy with your computer and USB. I use a mac and the only problem I have is the Harmony software comes on at...

Pros: it has a pretty screen and is easy to hold. battery life is adequate

Cons: absolutely the worst tech support i have ever encountered

Review: this may be the worst purchase i ever made. i have a harmony 880 that has functioned reasonably well; i purchased the 890 for my home theater system with some enclosed components thinking the RF converter would help. i have wasted hours trying to...

Pros: controls multiple devices, looks sleek

Cons: slow, unreliable, poor ergonomics

Review: I have used this remote for 2 months now and it get more frustrating every day. when it works, it works well and controls everything like it advertises. There is definately a reason they put the "remote assistant" in this because you need it...

Pros: Programmable, well made, ergonomic design, backlighted buttons

Cons: Website accommodates only one unit per User ID,

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this device. Any short comings are far outweighed by the advantages it offers. Our experience has been very good.

Review: I bought this remote (and two other models of Harmony remotes), to end the problem of having 5 or 6 remotes around to operate our multimedia equipment. We also liked the fact that they are rechargeable and can be charged with just a short visit to...

Pros: Easy programming

Cons: Poor quality; broken within a few weeks of use; not compatible with TIVO

Review: The Logitech Harmony universal remote seems like an excellent idea; we were able to program easily, and there are many choices for the components one can set up with this universal remote.

However, since we set it up, it has not been...
