Logitech Harmony 785

This sleek universal remote has great functionality and a PC application that makes it easy to customise your settings.

Easy configuration ; Great display ; Great software

Requires a PC ; Fiddly cradle

The Harmony 785 is not cheap, but if you're looking for that one replacement for all those remotes littering the coffee table, this is an excellent choice (if only our microwave had a remote sensor, we could start popping the popcorn when we hit the...

Great remote, easy to configure. Had an obscure device and after a few emails with logitech support they got it working. Just with the support alone the price i paid for it was worth it!

dock can be fiddly if the connectors are not clean

lmfao @ ted: "Well you have to plug in the cradle to power point which is just a nuisance, then you have to find the cradle and place the remote on it." GOD FORBID YOU GET OFF YOUR **** AND WALK THE 2 METRES TO PLACE THE REMOTE ON ITS EFFEN CHARGER...

Ease of use, no more clutter of remotes all over the place

Only bad point is that you have to set it all up.. Easy, but time consuming

Logitech Harmony 785

hard metal buttons hurt fingers and short battery life. A charging cradle is bad why? Well you have to plug in the cradle to power point which is just a nuisance, then you have to find the cradle and place the remote on it. Better to remove LCD screen...

Logitech Harmony 785

When it works it is good. Was fairly easy to configure, but took a couple of attempts to get all the devices working correctly.

Makes life simple removing existing 6 controllers, until it broke

Can't use it anymore cause it don't charge properly.Beeps throughout the night sitting in the cradle as if it is being placed in it again ; Buttons are slightly clunky

Logitech Harmony 785

Awesome remote. Had it for about a week now and is making life so much easier. Have got it totally perfect yet but will do when I get the time. Once programmed it is easy.

Software is good (I don't mind having to use the computer) ; Simple commands on remote ; Help button a good feature ; Battery stays charged for a long time

Some of my original remote fuctions are hard to get to. Need to set this up
