I have several Harmony remotes in various models and have been satisfied in general with their performance. They greatly simplify operation of a home theater setup with several components. In my opinion the Harmony remotes are a bit expensive, perhaps because competition is limited. The setup takes 20 or 30 minutes assuming you have several devices (TV, receiver, cable box, Apple TV, DVD player), but Logitech's equipment database is large and included all of my devices. I am giving lower marks for durability because the display went out on one of my remotes after about 2 years, requiring the unit to be replaced. In fairness to Logitech, the 1-year warranty had expired and they offered me 50% off on the replacement. Still, the remote received only light usage and I expected it to last longer than 2 years.
What's great about it: Great for managing multiple audio/video devices with one touch control
What's not so great: My display failed after 2 years
