Screen and facia get mucky quite quickly

Slick 3.5inch touchscreen, Controls up to 15 devices, Programs easily via Webconnected PC or Mac
Pricey, Setup process has no Bluray selection, RF will cost you extra, via the Harmony RF Extender
Like all Harmony remotes, this one certainly does not disappoint. The 1100 has the same unbelievably easy setup that the company has built its remote business on. Logitech carries that ease through to the actual day-to-day use as well and does so in a ...
Bright touchscreen. Activity-based macros make switching components easy. Rechargeable, with included charging cradle.
Cannot customize button layouts for specific devices. Response to commands felt sluggish. Touchscreen requires you to look down at the remote often. RF accessory not included.
If flashy toys are your thing--and you happen to have equipment that works with Harmony remotes--then the 1100 might be for you. If, however, function is more important than form, you’re better off with a universal remote that rocks more physical bu...
Abstract: The Harmony 1100 universal remote gave me the “whole nine yards” feeling. A great deal of the setup was smooth and seamless, but any specializations you want, like wanting to keep a device on even if the current activity doesnt need it, bring a whole ...
Looks cool, Automates tasks common to your home theater, Easy to program,
Expensive
Overall, the Logitech Harmony 1100 is fantastic for users with complex home theaters and home automation gear. The remote is expensive, but it’s cheaper than most other remotes in the same capability class from other manufacturers. If you want an ea...
Abstract: With a price tag one penny shy of 500 clams (you can buy it online for less), there’s no denying that Logitech’s Harmony 1100 Universal Remote is pricey, until you compare it with touch-screen remote controls from companies such as Crestron and AMX, w...
Easy to program, Supports RF with optional extender, Looks cool, Makes complex home theater use a snap
Expensive, Cant work most functions by feel
The Logitech Harmony 1100 is a fantastic universal remote that takes all of the work out of complex home theaters. The remote is easy to program, but getting it all just right can take some time. Overall, anyone with a complex home theater will love th...
Logitech Harmony 1100 completely redefines the way how devices in our homes are controlled. Because of this some confusion can be expected in the beginning. Nevertheless, after few days you will get used to new procedures and it is not likely that you ...
Abstract: Click to enlarge Whether you are a home theater enthusiast or not, you probably have multiple remotes floating around your living room. One for your TV, one for your set-top box, another for the stereo, and a fourth for the DVD/Blu-ray player might be ...
Beautifully designed. Sharp 3.5-inch touch screen. Controls up to 15 devices. Highly customizable. Intuitive software.
Very pricey, and RF extender costs an additional $100. Touch-screen buttons are tough to manipulate without using both hands and looking down at the screen. Computer-based configuration can be time-consuming with complicated home-theater setups. No Blueto...
If you have big bucks and insist on a touch-screen remote, Logitechs slick Harmony 1100 isnt bad. But the baton-style Harmony One, with its smaller screen, additional hardware buttons, and better ergonomics, is much easier to use—and afford....
Extremely Customizable, Beautiful Screen, Incredible Ease of Use
Very Expensive, No OneHand Usage
Logitech’s Harmony 1100 is the second touch-screen remote the company has produced, and the first that we’ve been able to get our hands on. Becoming the iPhone of remotes, the remote substitutes the majority of the tactile response of other re...
