Logitech Harmony 650
We review the feature rich, yet budget friendly Logitech Harmony 650 universal remote control. Logitech has cranked out quite a crew of Harmony remotes over the years. All seem to handle well, control a decent amount of devices, and are unbelievably easy to program.
Pros:
- Cheapie McCheap
- Easy setup
- LCD "wakes up" upon pickup
- Comfortable layout
Cons:
- Not rechargeable
- No RF features
- 5-device limit
- Not compatible with Bluetooth-based products

Excellent for basic setups, average for something more complex.
My setup is a little different than most with an HTPC, Wii, AV receiver, TV and Projector. I may be asking a little bit too much out of this remote, but I have tweaked it to a point where it does the basics that I need it to do with out too much fuss...
Pros:
- Easy to setup for novice users who want to have basic control over their home entertainment center
- Easy to use, intuitive remote
- Lights up when you pick it up (using a very basic "motion" sensor)
- Definitely consolidates multiple remotes.
Cons:
- - Web-Based programming means that you always need to be connected online when programming the remote
- - Unable to have a "dummy" device for something you cannot control on this remote (like setting up your AV Reciever and TV to play a Wii)
- I suppose you can select a device you don't have.

love having just 1 remote
Because Harmony remotes can be programmed to do things based on activity, i.e. watch tv, watch movie, they handle all of the equipment used for that activity utilizing a single button.
Pros:
- Nice Features
Cons:
- Need to be tech savvy

Logitech Harmony 650 Remote
I have this Remote for 2 months already and I won't go back. With around five remotes I thought it was time for just getting this remote, turning five remotes into one. It certainly made my life easier! I use the Harmony to control my Sony TV, LG Media Player, Onkyo amp and XBOX.

Not for Low-Tech Users
I bought for my household and I was the only one that could operate remote. I reprogrammed the remote several ways but the family approval rating was NO.

Harmony 650 remote
Pros: It's a great remote for the price. Cons: If you drop it it does tend not work properly. You need to turn everything off, then bck on for all the functions.

Works great while it works
I am on my second 650 in about 3 years. I love the programability so that it is never obsolete. It does take a while to set up, but the effort is worth it. Where the remote falls down is reliability. I'm not sure the build quality is as it should be.

easy to use
Been very happy to get rid of the pile of remotes for the various electronics. Was easy to use and set up, took some fine tuning and playing around to get the settings just the way I liked. Nice that you can reprogram the buttons to the configuration you want. The screen is easy to read.
Pros:
- easy to add devices
