This was a replacement for another Logitech remote. Would be a 5 star review except for the fact that all the buttons are backlit except for the main function buttons. Watch TV, Watch Movie, etc. are not backlit so the most important buttons are impossible to see in the dark. Kind of a major oversight if you ask me but you can control those same functions with the keys on the sides of the display so not a deal breaker. Easy to program, works great once set up.

I own 4 650's and a Harmony One. My 'One' has been dying on me for about 2 years, so I had to replace it. I chose this simply because I didn't want to shell out $200+ for the similar replacements out there. I'm GLAD I stuck with this. It responds much faster than the One did and the rechargeable batteries are a plus...especially since they're both removable, and standard batteries (AA) not cell phone type batteries. A great, inexpensive choice! Works great with Xbox ONE too!

Great purchase/investment. Purchased for boyfriend for Christmas. Still works great. 5 months later. He had the remote programmed to 2 TVs, 1 Sony Blue Ray Player, 1 Toshiba Receiver, 1 cable box, and 1 XBO One system. The options in the screen works great. Took me (a gir, lol) about a few weeks to figure out how to swap between devices. Helps to keep the the table clear of remote clutter so Im happy. Also we use rechargeable AA batteries. Nice design/feel in the hand when you hold it. The remote is 'bottom heavy, so it rests comfortable in your hand AND.... when you put the remote down, about 10 seconds the screen goes and when you pick it up, and angle the display towards your face, the backlight comes on again!.

This is a very good remote, simple to program with the on line assist. It even works well with Apple TV. I have xfinity x-1 box, Apple TV, Xbox 360, Panasonic tuner and Panasonic TV all connected and it was simple and they all work right.... Logitech is king of the remotes.... Now it's just one remote on the arm of the recliner, simple ,

Purchased this remote during black friday as the price was right around what I found reasonable for a remote. This remote was perfect for all of my home theater devices. All you do is find the model numbers (usually on the back of your devices) and then download the harmony software. you plug in your remote via USB to your computer and then enter the model numbers into the software. I found all of my devices and programming the buttons was very easy and straight forward. I have been using this remote for about two months now and have not had to recharge the battery. Zero problems as of yet. Would definitely recommend this remote to anyone with multiple devices and remotes.

I wanted a single remote for a system that included DirecTV, Samsung LED/LCD TV, Bose Theater, Oppo BlueRay DVD player, Sony DVD recorder, and an old Panasonic VCR - the maximum number of devices that the 700 can control.
Setup was quite easy, but idiosyncrasies with the video switching on the Bose made switching modes problematic and I had to keep reaching for one remote, or the other - goal of getting rid of the other remotes failed.
Replaced with the 1100 model that has more control over delays (power on, power off, etc.) and that seemed to solve the problem, but at much higher cost. As it is only software, why couldn't the 1100 programatic features be part of the 700 for those who prefer the single hand style of remote?
What's great about it: Very easy to program with Logitech's PC-based software
What's not so great: Cannot control start-up options, delays (only one for 700, three for 1100)

The Good: I will never live without a harmony remote again, they are worth every penny! I got this remote to replace an old Harmony 1000 (Harmony 1000 runs really slow and has very few buttons), and I also have a Harmony 650 for my bedroom. Once you get the remote setup, it controls all devices perfectly! The best feature of this remote is the "Help" button. If a device or activity doesn't start correctly, you press "Help" and about 99% of the time it fixes the problem without having to touch another button!!! Another feature I love is when you set up an activity (or just an individual device), you can assign the buttons on the remote individually, so for instance, for my Xbox 360 I set the Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green buttons on the remote to be the B, X, Y, A buttons, respectively. This saves me from having to page through the options on the display to find the one I want! Oh, and speaking of the display, you can program that too! You can add/remove options that you will/won't use, so the options you want, are the options you have!
The Mildly Irritating: The ONLY reason that I give this 4 of 5 stars (would have done 4.5 of 5, but there isn't an option) is the myharmony.com website, which is where you setup the remote, is a little buggy. There have been times when I wanted to update my remote, but I can't log on because there is a server error. I am very tech savvy so I have done everything to troubleshoot the problem and I made sure it wasn't on my end. I guess it's just one of those things that will (hopefully) get better with time (and lots of updates!).
What's great about it: Ease of use, Ease of troubleshooting
