An efficient, easy-to-use universal remote controller is now more than a remote possibility
Expert review by : David Carnoy (cnet.com)
Logitech Harmony 900
Sleek design, in terms of cosmetics and ergonomics; PC programmable; excellent button layout and design that now includes new Blu-ray-centric buttons; high-resolution LCD that offers a touch-screen interface and touch-sensitive buttons for navigation...
Price will scare off some buyers; PS3 control requires add-on dongle; dearth of user-programmable multi-device macros will frustrate advanced users.
The Logitech Harmony 900 is an impressive universal remote but it loses some of its luster with the release of the Harmony Ultimate, which replaces it in the Harmony line.

Logitechs Harmony Universal Remote feels good in hand, though you may never come to know that if the convoluted, frustrating setup for it drives you...
Beautiful build quality. Blasts both IR andRF signals. Excellent phone support has you talking to a technicianin moments. And you’ll need it
ComplexPC software installation and configuration required for setup. Manymodern (and older) A/V units missing from product database. NoBlu-ray player category. Completely befuddled by Roku’s Netflix box.No rhyme or reason behind the preset touchscreen...

Logitech Harmony 900 Universal Remote
Setup compatible at myharmony.com ; Sleek design& excellent build quality ; Touchscreen & physical key combo ; Keys have differing designs for better touch location ; RF module included in package ; Dock for charging remote
It costs a whole lot of money ; Doesn't get along with Mac OS X ; Very glossy body, for the most part
Expert review by : Chris Boylan (bigpicturebigsound.com)
Logitech makes a good remote even better by adding RF capabilities so it works through walls.
Although the inability to transfer existing devices and activities from another Harmony remote is a bummer, and the lack of macro support is a bit surprising, the fact is that the Harmony 900 is the most flexible, easiest to use and simplest to program...
Expert review by (consumersearch.com)
Many reviewers say that the Logitech Harmony 900 offers one chief advantage over the widely praised Logitech Harmony One (*Est. $180) -- the inclusion of radio frequency (RF) support. That means that the Logitech Harmony 900 can communicate with AV...
Radio frequency and infrared signals, quick web-based setup process, color touch screen, sleek design
Expensive, overkill if you only have a few AV components, glossy case shows fingerprints and dust, rF range not as long as claimed, can't create custom macros
Expert review by : Adam Turner (macworld.com.au)
Unlike traditional remotes, the Harmony 900 can shoot through walls and around corners. It comes with a radio-controlled infrared repeater, called a ‘blaster', that can live in the next room – pointed at hidden AV gear such as a home theatre amplifier...
Easy to use; wireless repeater
Expensive

This past holiday season, my wife and I remodeled our basement putting in a relatively nice media room with fancy in-the-wall speakers, A/V receiver, big LCD TV, Blu-ray player, AppleTV, and Nintendo Wii. All of those components having their own remote...
Well made ; Ergonomic design ; Great button layout ; High resolution touch screen ; Highly programmable via computer ; Controls up to 15 devices ; Included RF system
Expensive
