Product ReviewsLogitech Harmony 1000 Advanced Touch Screen Universal Remote Control NEW SEALED

Pretty awesome device with meh software

It works really well when you get it working properly.. It took a while to get the harmony software working on my PC, but once it worked well then this thing turned into a majestic piece of equipment. Super happy with how it works for all my TVs, my sound bar, the stereo, the blue ray player, it's the cat's pajamas. Read full review...

Nice remote but not as easy to use as the harmony One

I like this remote a lot, but have a Harmony One which I like much better. Having to hold this one with two hands is a pain, and also having to touch the screen to fast forward and other functions. The Harmony One is held in one hand, and the most used buttons are on the pad and so much easier and faster to use. The Harmony 1000 is very simple and easy to use, but I like the One betterRead full review...

Very good universal remote for non-technical people.

I bought this remote to give to my mother, who is not technically savvy. Overall, this is a great remote. There are a few flaws that hopefully they can work out:
-Programming for the remote is a long, tedious process of trial and error. It took me a few hours to get the unit switching between activities properly on my Sony Bravia TV.
-The software designed for the Harmony series of remotes only seems to support one remote per user login, despite documentation to the contrary within the software. I was forced to create a different user login (not really a big deal) to control my Harmony 670.
-The remote doesn't have a very strong transmission signal; I had to be almost within line-of-sight with the devices (it mostly works with a table between the couch and cable box).
-More out-of-the-box favorite channel icons would have been nice. (only Fox network channels had icons available at initial loadout, I had to find icons for my other favorite channels on the web)

Once the remote is completely configured for your devices to your liking, the remote couldn't be better. The positives I saw are:
-The full color screen is large and easy on the eyes, even for people with less-than-perfect vision.
-The activity commands allow you to customize any action you would like to perform on your equipment into a simple one-click macro.
-The Help feature allows even the most novice users to troubleshoot problems and fix them without a technically savvy person there to guide them by asking simple yes or no questions.
-Favorite channels are customizable and allow you to attach icons instead of having words to read (you can have both).

To summarize, this is a highly recommended remote for someone who doesn't understand how to use a complicated home theater setup. I suggest you have patience while initially programming it however, as it can be frustrating to get things programmed exactly right.Read full review...

Sadly..... i'm really disappointed.

Read many mixed reviews about this item, but still decided to try it since I had always been very happy with all my other logitech products. I decided to buy a somewhat used/damaged remote that seemed like (and proved to be) a very easy fix. After repair, testing and confirmation that it was fully functional, i'm totally relieved that I didn't pay full price for this item.

PRO'S:

* looks very cool
* appears to be compatible with a wide variety of products
* fairly quick & easy to setup and use
* can (ideally) eliminate the need for use of any other additional remote

CON'S:

* often does not respond, or response is slightly delayed
* desktop software leaves a bit to be desired
* signal is pretty weak, and will require an RF extender in most cases
* use of RF extender with remote causes other misc problems
* emmits a long high pitch tone when initially placed on the charging cradle
* logitech customer service is just terrible. not helpful in any way
* would have loved 2-4 more equally sized, round face buttons, which could have been added quite easily while still maintaining the stylish design, the comfortable button layout and the current LCD screen size.

While it is still a nice piece of equipment, pretty handy to use and fun to play with, it simply is not worth the price tag it totes. There are better remotes on the market in the same price point which won't cause a frustration induced headache after prolonged use. The con's outnumber the pro's and after nearly 1 week of use, you may not want to continue using it yourself, let alone reommend it to others.

I sincerely hope the 1100 model isn't just the same item in a different colored casing. Will be certain to review it here as soon as I get my hands on it.Read full review...

Logitech Harmony 1000 LCD Remote Control

PLEASE DON'T BUY THIS REMOTE!!!
Hardware wise the remote looks beautiful, but this is my experience.
When I put their software disk in my computer, it said the version was old and the computer would have to connect to the internet to upgrade. That didn't seem to bad, but when I started to the program said I need to be logged in as Admin. and turn off my firewall. On great reservation I followed their recommendations. As I have dialup it took almost 11/2 hours to download their software upgrade. Then I ran the upgrade, it said "connect the remote" then before the remote could be setup it needed a "firmware update" over a 12 MB file witch after 4 attemps at getting to 99 percent finially loaded. Another 2 hours of miseary, then it finally came to setting up my remote to control my devices. Three of witch the remote didn't control and the two it that did, it wouldn't let me set them up the way I wanted. The remote try's to have 1 power button for everything, but I don't use everything all the time. Anyway after all that the remote would not work at all. I went to Logitech's website for some help, I was told I would have to pay for help as the remote was beyond their free help period. Maybe their upgrade broke the remote so they could make some more money, I just don't know. I could not find a email contact for their company. I was so mad by then, I wanted to sue them in small claims court. Luckly the person that sold me the remote had a full refund policy. If you need Logitech's web site to setup your remote everytime you change a device, what will happen if they go OUT OF BUSINESS???Read full review...

The Logitect Harmony 1000 Remote Contol

The product was purchased because I have 8 remote controls thats get loss everyday. the Harmony 1000 allowed me to get rid of all of them. The programing was some what easy to set-up, when I had problems with set-up and programing. The on-line and phone support was outstanding, Every issue was solved quickly. Most of the time the unit solved or corrected the problem itself. I'm very happy I purchased the Logitect 1000 and looking forward to seeing Logitect next models and upgrades.Read full review...

Best of its kind

This remote is probably one of my favorite gadgets I own. It's lightweight, has an attractive design, and is VERY simple to use. It controls just about everything in my house. It controls 3 TV's, my PS3, my CD/DVD changer, computer, and my comcast digital cable box. The layout is very orderly as far as where the buttons and icons are placed. I bought one for my 62 year old grandpa, and he uses it with zero problems too. I VERY highly recommend this remote to anyone that enjoys home theater products, likes simplicity of controlling their media devices, or just wants top of the line technology.Read full review...

Awesome Remote!

I purchased this remote on a whim to replace a Harmony 700 and I am pleasantly surprised by how excellently it performs and by the options it offers. The programming was the same as with the Harmony 700, but with the ability to control many more devices. With the 700, I could only program it to control 6 devices. The 1000 is 15. The battery life has been scrutinized in some of the reviews I've read online but this is not an issue. I use it for 10+ hours per day since I'm currently out of work, and have not had a problem. I have been putting it in the charging cradle every night before I go to bed but by the end of the day there is 75-80% (estimate) battery life remaining. I left it off of the cradle last night and it is now 2:45 in the afternoon and I have 75-80% charge left! Great remote! Would highly recommend.Read full review...

Not Impressed

I love Logitech. They make great stuff at an affordable price. That said, the Logitech Harmony 1000 Advanced Universal Remote Control is kind of adequate at best. The 'touch' screen isn't really a touch screen AT ALL! You have to push down on the screen to make it do whatever function that is there at the time.

If you use it to turn something on, and then get up to leave the room turning off manually (like your TV before you leave), the remote gets all out of whack and needs to go through about 4-6 step to get it back to 'adequate'

I really wanted this to be the awesome remote they say it is, but it isn't.

Bottomline- Save your money and get a Harmony One for 1/3 the price.Read full review...

Harmony 1000

Logitech remotes are the best on the market...hands down. This is my second logitech remote and it is very easy to program and adjust to your components. It also can be personalized with pictures and naming the activities. With a few adjustments after loading your components every thing was working in sync. My only complaint is the size, the remote is much larger than a regular remote and often cannot be operated with one hand without putting the remote down. Other than the size issue the logitech harmony 1000 is right on par with the rest of logitech's products.Read full review...
