Digital camera reviews of Logitech Harmony 880 Advanced Universal Remote Control
Digital camera Review: Finally something that is truly 1 button operation!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this remote. I hate having 5 or 6 remotes just so I can switch what i want to watch on my home theater. With the Harmony remote I can store all of them and get it all done with a push of a button. This remote is so easy my wife can do it and my mother can handle it when she comes to visit. The programing is just as easy on the computer and then you upload it to the remote. It is a "gotta have" for anyone with 2 or more things to turn on to watch TV. Also logitic is the best! I had another 880 that I had a small problem with the charging cradle after 11 months and when i contacted them to help fix it (after a couple of questions) they sent me a replacement Harmony one remote to replace the defective one with no hassle. Digital camera Review: A Remote for the Remotely Challenged
Summary: 5 Stars
If you've spent an ungodly amount of time juggling up to six remotes just trying to change your setup to watch a DVD, help is here. The Logitech Harmony series of remotes eliminates guesswork, and within minutes of installing software and setting up you can throw all the other remotes away. For good. Make a list of the model numbers of all the components you use - TV, DVD, satellite receiver, etc. Install the software on the enclosed CD follow the easy instructions, which includes hooking up to the internet. Once all your information is loaded, you're ready to go. I now have an extra square foot of space on my coffee table. Digital camera Review: Logitech's useless warranty
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this product in March this year and is generally happy with its performance. However, I have always had a problem with one of the buttons. I finally emailed Logitech on this and they led me through a diagnostic process which confirmed that it is a hardware problem and not a software problem.
However, due to the fact that I am using this product in Singapore, they are washing their hands off their warranty. They have been giving me the run-around for quite a few days and the resolution of this problem is nowhere in sight.
If you are an overseas (non-USA) buyer, beware!!! Logitech will walk away from their product and you are left to work out some arrangement with the retailer!! And I though Logitech is an honourable company!
Digital camera Review: Great concept and software ruined by cheap hardware
Summary: 3 Stars
For remotes that cost around $100, the Harmony series has always had incredibly flaky hardware, but the 880 sets a new low bar. I'm on my third 880 through warranty swaps, but you only have to hold one to know how cheap the hardware is. I've had buttons fall completely off, and some of them you can hardly tell if you've pushed them they have so little action. The Harmony software and concept is still excellent, the charger is great (as opposed to swapping out AAAs), but the remote itself is not worth your money.
I'd recommend either saving some money and getting something in the 5xx or 6xx series, or if you really want the color screen, pony up a little more for the Harmony One. The 880 just isn't worth the money.
It's also worth noting that the remote I bought from Warehouse Deals, Inc through Amazon was marked as new, but what I got was clearly not a new product and was, in fact, broken (Logitech replaced it).
Digital camera Review: Great but sad it died...
Summary: 4 Stars
This remote is awesome! I got it for my husband last Christmas and he was in love. It made it so he could add component after component to our TV system and I would not hate him for making it too complicated to watch TV that I would just give up. This made it so I didn't have a thousand remotes sitting around the living room. But then, one sad day, the remote died. The screen looked like it stabbed and was hemorrhaging. When we contacted customer service they said it was not covered under warranty and offered no help for repairs. So, sadly, this family that is down one income to being laid off really misses having the super remote but probably wouldn't recommend it to a house with kids unless they aren't allowed to touch it! :)
