Logitech Harmony® 550 LCD Remote Control

The Bottom Line: If you have too many remotes laying around, buy this one and be done with it :-)

Review: After buying another box to place in the entertainment center, which of course came with another remote, I jumped in and bought the Harmony 550 at BestBuy. Initially I was looking at the bigger (and more expensive) models, but one of the employees...

Review: I bought it after reading about several other options.
I didn't find any real advantage in buying the high-end products - maybe I'll need their features somewhere in the future...

It does what I needed - start the exact needed devices...

The Bottom Line: Give the Harmony 550 a try; If people really do find the software cumbersome, fear not, when you realize you will never have to fumble around with 3 remotes again!

Review: When I read reviews for products, especially electronics, I am always interested in the lowest ratings or the cons, to really evaluate the response and the reviewer. For the Harmony 550, there really are not any valid "cons" that I have read. For...

The Bottom Line: Invest a few extra dollars for one of the higher level Hamonys.

Review: I purchased this unit a couple of weeks ago after being very satisfied with a Harmony 659 the last couple of years. Unfortunately the 659 died from a water spill.

I attempted to program the 550 with the provided software. This is the same...

The Bottom Line: This remote blows typical universals out of the water. I highly recommended this to anyone looking for a relatively inexpensive way to get complete control over their home theater.

Review: The Logitech Harmony 550 universal remote offers an easy, stress-free way to control an entire home theater setup. The Harmony is just like any other universal remote in the sense that you can program it to control all of your devices, but that is...

The Bottom Line: Flawed database and klunky software make this remote more trouble than using the multiple remotes it's intended to replace.

Review: When choosing a remote control, I did my research and I verified that all my equipment was in Harmony's online database. However, I learned after purchasing this remote that not everything in their database works out-of-the-box. Tech support even...

The Bottom Line: If you often find yourself frustrated with your AV system you may love this remote. If you know your system well and use it manually often, you may be frustrated.

Review: I bought the Harmony 550 remote when we recently made a change to our AV system that was incompatible with our previous remote. It seemed to be a good unit at a very favorable price ($79) when recently on sale.

I've been pleased with the...

The Bottom Line: Harmony remotes are excellent and the 550 is one of the best for the average user. Highly recommended!

Review: I already owned a Harmony 720 for my main AV system. I LOVE that remote, but I couldn't justify the cost of another 720 for my bedroom system, so I purchased a Harmony 520. Although it had great features, the LCD screen was nearly unreadable, so I...

The Bottom Line: Cool looks and brains in one easy to use package, but setup might be a little difficult.

Review: Pretty much every household has more than one device at home with a remote control. That can get out of hand very quickly when shuffling between them is a hassle and worse yet, the one needed is suddenly missing. It may not qualify as essential, but...

The Bottom Line: Excellent remote control for large systems. One remote, easy to learn. Great for older children (8-up) to easily control system as well.

Review: There comes a time in every electronics lover when the small pile of remotes on the coffee table becomes unsightly and noticeable. At first, it's funny and almost a gives you a sense of pride to have so many devices - each with it's own remote...
