I owned a RF50 Universal Remote for several years and replaced it with the Harmony 700 when it began having issues. The setup is done across the internet through Logitech's web interface which can be slow and a little confusing. Once the H700 setup is complete it is extremely easy to use. It is very lightweight but may not take much punishment. The remoter will sense when it is picked up and wake up for use. The battery seems to last several weeks from one charge.
What's great about it: Controls all my A/V devices (Satellite, TV, Home Theater) and has a long battery life.
What's not so great: Must be connected to a computer with internet access to program.
