Significantly cheaper versions like the Harmony Home Control can do almost as much. The battery only lasts a couple of days per charge
So you'll have to remember to keep it in the charging cradle between uses
It's very expensive
Can't launch into most video apps
Occasional missed commands
Expensive
Relatively easy to accidentally press a button on the touchscreen when picking up the remote

This little gadget is like having 15 remotes all packed into one device and I couldn't go on without it. Its functionality is off the charts and it makes a living room that previously required four remotes much easier to manage. All of this however, does...

No Windows phone app; Devices can get out of sync if they are turned off at the device rather than through the remote; it's not cheap

Logitech's Harmony Elite Remote Control ($350) is the latest top-of-the-line edition in the company's line of universal remote controls. Preceded in that way by the Harmony Ultimate — which launched at the same price — the Harmony Elite boasts a new remot...

Simplifies complex A/V setups, Rechargeable battery is replaceable, Logical button layout, Works with several smart home products, Backlit buttons
Expensive, Not a revolutionary upgrade over the previous flagship Harmony remote, No voice search capabilities
The universal remote has evolved from a simple device that consolidates your various controllers into a smart gadget that intelligently operates your home theater setup. And with Logitech's Harmony Elite, you can add smart home devices like lighting and t...

I started the review stating I was a big fan of the Logitech Harmony range, and if you are too, the Harmony Elite will deepen that love affair. The latest generation of Harmony remotes retains the premium styling expected from the brand, but adds new feat...
Extremely easy to set up and program, Can manage both entertainment and connected-home devices, Large touchscreen display, plus backlit physical buttons
Limited to controlling 15 A/V devices, IR blasters not the best solution for an enclosed entertainment center, Poor replacement for a Sonos controller
It's not quite perfect (it makes a terrible Sonos controller replacement), but Logitech's Harmony Elite can control anything in your entertainment center and almost anything in your connected-home system...

Ergonomically close to perfect, Supports a nearly infinite array of devices out of the box
Screen is only so-so, Requires more setup than a basic universal remote, Expensive
