Strengths: This is the best Harmony Remote, ever!!!!! Great appearance, easy to navigate, rechargeable battery.

Weaknesses: It can not control a PS3 or Wii due to lack of bluetooth.

Overall Evaluation: I have own two previous Harmony remotes and this model is by far the best one yet! The touch screen is terrific and the button layout is fantastic. I was able to migrate my old Harmony remotes settings over with the included software and then make additional tweaks without any difficulties. The remote's key light up when the remote is moved, so you can navigate the Harmony in even the darkest rooms. The rechargeable battery lasts for weeks at a time. The only negative is that it is unable to control bluetooth devices such as the PS3 and the Wii. I can not stress how much my family loves this remote.

Strengths: ergonomic user frendly disign,lcd display,guided set up,rechargeable

Weaknesses: pricey

Overall Evaluation: It is a great product for home entertainments per Logitechweb-site it has 225,000 devices in its database. It replacesaround 5 different remotes at my house. Best of all it works with PS3 so I don't need to buy a PS3 remote and also works with my computer with Vista Ultimate on it. It takes some time to set up as it guides you through list of devices.Overall, well made product by Logitech.

Strengths: Nothing it its price range compares to the quality and customizability of this remote. This remote can be tweaked down to the smallest detail and preference. Controls are logical and well arranged.

Weaknesses: Slightly slippery construction. You would not want to drop an expensive remote like this on a hard floor. Battery life is only fair, however, the sleak charging cradle addresses this well.

Overall Evaluation: This is by far the most advanced programmable remote that we have ever owned and, according to our research efforts, nothing anywhere near its price compares to the features of this remote. In 20 minutes we had this remote controlling a Toshiba TV, a French cable box, a military AFN satellite receiver, a DVD player, VCR, Apple TV, and a stereo tuner. Setup was amazingly painless. Later, we spent much more time fine tuning the order and names of buttons on the color touch screen, however, this was mostly a matter of arranging the most common commands acessed to be accessible as quickly as possible. Once you invest this time, you never have to do so again. This is one of the best electronics products we have ever purchased and it gets a very strong recommendation from us. We hesitated at spending this much money for a remote control, however, after receiving it we can say that this is not an overpriced product at all. 5 stars.

Strengths: Does everything its supposed to

Weaknesses: pricey

Overall Evaluation: I got it to replace my Harmony 550. It has nice touchscreen with pretty good resolution. The screen is also colored. The shape is very ergonomic and a very smooth feel. Undoubtedly, regulates all of my components without a hitch. The buttons have also been paced strategically. Highly recommended.

Strengths: Very easy to set up. Feels good in your hand. LCD touch screen. It works!

Weaknesses: Can not control the PS3. But that's Sony's fault

Overall Evaluation: I had this remote working fully in less than 2 hours. Every audio/video componet that I have was easily recognized by the programming software. The options on customizing your Harmony remote are endless. You can virtually add any command that you want to add on the touch screen.I really have not changed anything on the remote since the first week of having it. There are a few things that I would like to change, but right from the start I had the remote working correctly for every thing i have: Samsung s5053 50" plasma, Devon3808ci receiver, JVC HRS-3902 VCR, Panasonic DMR-EZ27K DVD recorder, Dish Network receiver, and a JVC XV-N420 Pal/Region free DVD player.
