    Duration of ownership: 1 Months

    Strengths: (1) Comfortable design (2) Good trouble-shooting assistance via "Help" button (3) Works well with newer and older componants

    Weaknesses:(1) Goes through batteries much quicker than regular remote

    Overall Evaluation: This is my first all-in-one type remote, but the setup was pretty intuitive. It did not take long to gain control of all of my equipment. When I did encounter a problem, the Help button walked me through the fix. It's nice to condence multiple configurations of audio level/channel, video device and TV channel/input into simpler commands like "Watch TV" and "Listen to Music". Overall, a great value when considering a learning type remote.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Easy to Setup. Huge list of compatible components.

    Weaknesses:Price. Truncated titles in display. If you change anything on one of your components, like power or input, the remote will not work correctly and you will need to use the help function.

    Overall Evaluation: Overall a great remote. I would wait for a sale before buying because over $100 is too much to pay. I got it for $90 minus some rebates. I use rechargeable batteries so I don't have an issue with battery life. One reviewer mentioned that the display items get truncated and it does make it a bit annoying to find the correct function. My main issue with this remote is that if you make changes to your components manually (power off/on, input device, etc) the remote will no longer function properly and you will need to use the help menu to restore functionality. For example my Wii setup turn off my receiver but sometimes I like to play music while playing games so I turn on my receiver and switch it to Aux for my mp3 player. When I am done playing and push the TV button the receiver will not switch to the correct input so I won't get the sound from the TV. The Help button fixes this quickly but it keeps me from giving it 5 stars.

    Duration of ownership: 7 Days

    Strengths: Activity functions.Recognizing my components, web based customization.

    Weaknesses:A tad small on buttons, but that helps keep it compact.

    Overall Evaluation: Within 30 minutes had DirecTV, PVR, HD-DVD, AV-Receiver, and Panasonic 42" working harmoniously. Love the activity buttons ("Watch DVD", "Listen to Music" etc.). After starting with the desktop software, I moved to the web based customization -- http://members.harmonyremote.com. This lets you customize or map buttons/functions to your heart's content. Easy to do the basics - I changed defaults to leave components powered "on" when changing between activities. Could spend much more time fine tuning, as you like. I conclude it is worth the money to have full control in one smart device, and to banish other remotes.

    Duration of ownership: 3 Months

    Strengths: I started using my remote after 10 minutes of setting it up on my laptop. My wife can finally switch from cable to a movie without asking for help.

    Weaknesses:Sometimes a device will not turn on, the help menu will fix the problem its just annoying. Or lets say the TV was turned on manually the remote will turn it off. Not a major issue.

    Overall Evaluation: I'm really happy with my Harmony 670. Its not perfect but I don't think any $500 remote will do a better job. I liked these design over the others b/c there is a light button and a good layout. I do most things without looking down at the remote a real plus over some other models. Another benefit are the 6 programmable buttons (there is a next screen that will allow for more!) Also the 6 main buttons are different for each setting. Let me explain: cable mode (buttons A,B,C,Aspect,etc) Music mode (change disc, search station, etc.) Awesome remote! ------- Update!!! the USB thing broke off. I fixed it, but poor support for this part of the remote.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Replaces multiple remotes, Good customer service from logitech,easy to use buttons

    Weaknesses:Battery life

    Overall Evaluation: This remote control replaced around 7 remotes at my home including TV, DVR,VCR,DVD,Air conditioning to name a few. Programming the remote is easy provided you know the Make/model# of the equipment you would like to control alongwith an internet connection. Once you are on the website you can plan using your remote control with Activities. The button layout on the remote is very intutive and ergonomic.They are backlit so you can use them in the dark without fumbling. I was unable to program the remote and the logitech customer service was great, they helped me program the remote. The only downside the batteries get drained easily because of so many Activities (Imagine using 1 remote instead of 7 in my case. The workaround for me was to use re-chargeable batteries.
