This was easy to set up and ready to use. We love the rechargeable feature. We had the previous model where we had to keep changing batteries this is much more convenient.

Excellent Remote, Easy to Setup

on January 17, 2015

Posted by: jezzell19

from San Antonio, TX

I've been looking for a universal remote to control my projector, Apple TV, PS3, TV, and receiver. This bad boy does all of the above with ease! (NOTE: A separate adapter is needed to control the PS3 but it can be had for a reasonable price online and is very easy to setup as well.)

After installing the Harmony application to my laptop, I plugged in my remote using the supplied USB adapter, answered a few simple questions about my setup, and viola--one remote to rule them all.

I got a great deal on the remote on Black Friday, but can honestly say it's worth the full price.

So far, I love it

Verified Purchase:Yes

When I decided to get a universal remote, I first went the cheap route. I decided to buy three other remotes before finally breaking and buying this one, and I'm glad I did! The other remotes that I tried could not tap into everything I needed (6 disc cd changer and an old stereo system). They would be able to run some, but not all. The whole reason I went this route was to condense all remotes into one, so that wasn't going to cut it.

The Harmony 700 was able to tap all of my devices except my stereo. But since the 700 can "learn" from the original remote, this wasn't a terrible issue. I did not have the original remote for the stereo, but I did manage to get one of the cheap universal remotes to hit on a code for it earlier. I had yet to return the remote, and was able to teach the 700 the stereo commands from the cheap remote. All other devices were found by the online software with no trouble. It was even able to tap into my IR controlled Vaporizer!

The initial setup can be a pain at first, especially if you are not tech literate. But once set up, it's amazing. The activity buttons allow you to program commands for the remote to do all at once for starting said activity. You can program the "Watch TV" button to turn your TV on, switch it to the proper input, turn your surround sound on, and whatever else you want it to do. Sometimes the activity button does not turn on all of the components it's supposed to. The "Help" button is great at fixing this, though, and is only a couple of 'Yes/No' prompts.

I bought it over three weeks ago, and have yet to charge it a second time. So the 700 seems to do great on battery life. This is likely to change with time, but the batteries are removable, so you can replace them when they become worn out.

I don't know what else to write other than the fact that it is super comfortable to hold, lightweight, and so far worth every penny. I got the 2-year replacement plan with it, just in case.

These are excellent remotes, but they don't bounce. I purchased this remote to replace one that I dropped. they are easy to set up and configure via a computer hookup and control many devices.

Great Remote!

This universal remote is a good product and fairly easy to use. It takes a little time to get the unit set up, but it is pretty straight forward. We still have problems with it not doing exactly what it is supposed to do sometimes, but it is very easily fixed. All in all, this is a very nice remote.

Solid item - greatly reduces amount of remotes

on January 18, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes

This is an nice remote. I use my home theater and it took the amount of remotes I had from 5 to 1 which was great.

Pro's - it was very easy to set up, unit being back-lit and lighting up with motion is great. The buttons are very responsive

Con's - it took several hours to charge out of the box, the "Watch a Movie" & "Watch TV" buttons are not back-lit, minor quibble = there is no "shortcut" key to use with Xfinity but you can navigate to the extra features by using the "Menu" key.

Overall, a good remote but not great.
