Anyone have the Harmony One remote?

[ManBearPig]

If so, how is it? I really want one but can't find any sales right now and $200 is steep. Although sales are rare and don't bring the price down a whole lot.

So, any impressions?

It's pretty excellent, but I only paid $110 for mine.

I paid about $110ish as well. Love it.

If you don't want to spend that much, get an 880. Also a really solid remote.

If you don't need RF, the Harmony One is an excellent solution. I have owned about four different Harmony remotes over the years and the One is by far my favorite. Excellent button layout, rechargeable battery, and Logitech's software has drastically improved over the years. Amazon has them pretty regularly for $179, with sales bringing them down to $150 and below on occasion. I got mine for $120 at Dell on a sale about 8 months or so ago.

Good lord, how did you all get it for $110?!

i asked about this remote over in another forum, and 4 people said theirs was glitchy. among other complaints they said the screen was losing pixels, battery needed to be taken out and put back in bc the device froze, turns off things automatically by accident, etc.

are people having similar problems here? if i spend $200 id really rather not get something flawed. It seems like people love it in most reviews though. how is the signal strength?

The Harmony 720 is another good one. I only paid around $80 for mine. It's like a budget Harmony One. I've had zero problems with mine since I got it a few months ago.

My mother and myself both have the Harmony One and love them. Couldnt be happier and never any glitches (so far). Over a year on both.

I got one about a year ago or so and have loved it. Recently purchased another for my mother when I gave her my old HDTV.

Get it, you won't be sorry.

i just bought one, and it is indeed awesome. i found a speck of dust or something underneath the glass. unless this is normal, which i doubt it is, im exchanging it.

kind of annoying lol, i never get anything good out of the box. its about the size of a pixel, but its not a dead pixel since different viewing angles move the spot around.

but i LOVE the remote, and just got the ps3 logitech adapter.

I've had one for about 8 months now. It's a great remote.
