I've been thinking about getting a Logitech Harmony remote for a while now. I currently have about 6 devices and of those 6 devices 4 of them have remotes that I have to use for various reasons. My Cable box (SA 8300HD) is my main remote, but wouldn't fully control my AV Receiver (Kenwood VR-615) It worked mostly every button except one major button.. an old Cable box remote worked that one. Then none of them worked my TV (Toshiba 32" LCD) or my Blu-ray Player (Sony BDP-S350) So I said screw it, i'm getting a Logitech Harmony remote. A good friend of mine has one and he loves it so I after much research I decided to go for the Harmony 700 after Best Buy had it on sale last week.
I unboxed the remote and let it charge (took about 3 hours) in the mean time I wrote down the model numbers to all the devices I would be using. Once the charging was complete I installed the software from Logitech's website (not physically included with this particular remote) installation took a couple of minutes and then it took me through the setup wizard. Setup was a breeze and once I inputed all my devices It took me through the "Activity" setup. Activities are buttons on your remote that do multiple functions. For example the "Watch TV" button will tell the remote to switch the TV's input to whatever input you've specified, be it cable box, antenna, etc. Then it will tell the receiver to switch to the proper audio input (All of which are asked specifically during the setup wizard) the remote will then act as a hybrid. For me the remote lets me control the volume through my AV receiver and control the cable box for watching TV.
Once you have all your activities setup you'll be good to go. The remote knows what to turn on and off depending on what activity you want to do. Say I'm watching TV and decide I want to play my Xbox 360, i just hit the activity button for it and it will switch my TV input to the Xbox 360, the stereo receivers output to the 360's and turn my cable box off (If I choose it to do so) The remote also controls my Xbox 360 as if it were an Xbox 360 DVD remote. If I want to go back and watch TV i just hit "Watch TV" and it shuts my Xbox off and switches everything back to the TV settings. It's very very simple and cool.
I've had the remote for only about a week so I can't comment on the battery life, but according to Logitech it should last 2 to 3 weeks on a full charge. 2 rechargeable batteries are included as well. It comes with a AC Plug that has a USB input to it for charging. Also note that the Mini-USB plug isn't your standard looking plug. I've included a comparison shot of a normal Mini-USB plug and the one that it comes with, so you might want to keep a good eye out on the cable it comes with. So far this remote seems to be a fantastic purchase and does exactly what I need it to do and then some. I am very happy with my purchase.
What's great about it: Easy to setup, Great Price, Tons of Features, Great feel
What's not so great: Unique Mini-USB input, can be a bit overwhelming if you aren't prepared.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not bad for the money

I bought this to replace a Harmony 880. While the 700 works fine, it feels like a step backwards from the 880. I think Logitech dropped the ball, as there really isn't a model between the 700 and the Harmony One, which the 880 used to fill.
THE GOOD:
From a functional standpoint, this remote is fine. The remote was easy to configure using the software, and has programmable buttons within each activity that allow you to nearly infinitely program this to fit your needs. The profile of this remote fits in your hand, and isn't prone to sliding off furniture like the 880 did. One of the features carried over from the 880 is an automatic backlight, which senses movement and lights up the screen when you pick up the remote.
THE BAD:
The 700 only supports 6 devices, period. When configuring this remote with the Logitech software, you can only have 6 devices in your device list, even if you don't use all six for each function.
The screen is smaller than my 880. While this isn't a huge issue, it means I have less programmable buttons, requiring me to scroll endlessly to find the action I want.
Also, there is no battery indicator on this remote, so you don't know your battery life remaining until it warns you the battery is almost dead.
THE VERDICT:
Dollar for dollar, I think this remote is your best bet!
If you don't need support for more than 6 devices, and you don't want to spend twice as much for a "slightly" more advanced Harmony One, then this is the remote for you.
I would also recommend this over the 650 for two reasons: 1) supports more devices; 2) includes rechargeable battery
What's great about it: Easy to configure, good price
What's not so great: No battery indicator, have to scroll endlessly for programmable actions
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Universal Remote Under 100$

Purchased the Harmony 700 to replace my broken Harmony 650. The interface and button layout is exactly the same as my 650 but this remote has three huge advantages. It can control 8 Devices up from 5 on my 650 (now I can control my XBOX One!), Rechargeable batteries, and a better LCD Screen. It always annoyed me that I had to look directly at the screen on my 650. With the 700 this is solved! Off angle viewing is excellent and it appears to me that the pixel count has also been increased. If you are in the market for a new Universal remote I can safely say the Harmony 700 is well worth the the premium over the harmony 650.

Love the ability to control all devices via one remote...should have done this a long time ago. I had Geek Squad set it up for me, no issues so far. Really like the "idiot" button (help) which always figures out a problem when a component does not seem to be working. The only issue is that it won't transmit through the frosted glass doors of the entertainment system...I have to open the doors. The solution is the RF version of this remove, but that costs 3x as much.
What's great about it: Easy set up, long battery life, compact
What's not so great: Won't transmit through my frosted glass doors on the entertainment center
I would recommend this to a friend!

Logitech has been working hard on making their Harmony software more user friendly.
The new program lacks some advanced features for power users but it gets the basics down correctly. Before you even start get out a notepad and write down all the devices that you will be programming into the remote.
For example.
TV - Samsung UNEH53000 HDMI 1 is connected to HDMI in 2 on AVR
AVR - Yamaha A2000 HDMI 2 is connected to TV
The more you properly prepare, the better the remote will be. It takes time to fine tune the settings, but your patience is worth the time. I only buy Logitech remotes because they always work.

After purchasing this remote I did find it very easy to setup. It was working great for several weeks then all of the sudden I could not get to the guide or change the channel. The remote acted like it forgot all of the devices I had. I pulled the batteries and tried again and nothing. Had to get out all of the old remotes to manually use my tv, cable box and home theater system. I then tried reinstalling the software on the remote, I also had an update on the remote and applied that. Still could not get the remote to work.
The next day I decided to try the remote and it worked. Then several days later it stopped working. Then magically it works again. And the story goes on. One day the remote will feel like not working and then another day it decides it wants to work. I also tried the onscreen menu on the remote to try to fix the problem and sometimes it worked and sometimes it did not. Very irritating!!
So now I must keep the old remotes handy for when the logitech decides it does not feel like working.
What's great about it: Easy to setup. Simple to turn on all devices.
What's not so great: Works only when it wants to.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love this remote, just hope it lasts longer. I bought the same remote three years ago and it abruptly quite working one day. Called Logitech and walked thru some trouble shooting despite a massive language barrier they were completely unhelpful and told me there was nothing to do except replace the remote.
What's great about it: Way easy to set up
What's not so great: Had to replace the first one

Overall the remote works well for simple functions like turning on TV and surround sound. The remote struggles quite a bit with networked activities through the TV. On the good side Netflix works well but when using screen share for pictures or sport tracking apps the remote doesn't accurately replicate scroll or directional movement function.
