Decent remote, but not whats described

on September 14, 2012

Posted by: jasonbw

from Saint Louis, MO

Our Harmony 550 is starting to fail, some of the buttons are getting inconsistent. This one looks to be a decent replacement, its claimed to support 8 devices, the old one did 15 (i don't need that many). this ones rechargable. this one had dedicated color buttons and the layout is a bit more logical. the price, on sale ($90ish) was about what the last one was.

The problem is that this product only actually supports 6 devices, i have 7. i may add another device in the future, so i'd like 8. but six meant i had to remove the wii from the setup. and no option for more in the future. so points off.

the second problem i had was that, simply, the OK button did not work out of the box. if i set up a 'soft' button up by the lcd, that one worked, but it was very clumsy to operate. Tech support confirmed it was not simply a setting issue.

the color buttons look fine in normal room lighting, but when backlit dont look like the same colors. this is a bit confusing.

the device was returned for a Harmony one. although im not happy with that one either. id actually like another 550.

What's great about it: Harmony System usually works well

What's not so great: Only Supports 6 devices

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Ease of Use
