User Comments about the Logitech Harmony 880 Advanced Universal Remote Control

Easy to program, easy to use. My wife for years could not figure out how to use the many electronic gadgets we have but the Logitech Harmony remote now has her very happy. I have purchased several universal remotes over the years with little satisfaction. The Logitech Harmony 880 is the easiest to program and the easiest to use. Fantastic product.

It like the functionality but there are serious issues with the base unit not charging the battery after the unit has been in use for a while. This is my second unit. Before you purchase check the internet sites and you will see a lot of complaints regarding this problem.

The rechargeable battery makes the price difference worthwhile. This remote is durable and very easily programmable. This remote does exactly what it's supposed to do and is a huge improvement over the 550 series which I previously had. It is also laid out very nicely.

The charger means I have a place to store the remote ( the biggest problem I had with the older 659 was, where did I put it). It works great. The wife just has to pick it up, push "Watch TV" and all the right equipment come on.

Just as with the 659, only no batteries to replace. As some posters have stated, if there's a problem, the help button really does help solve the issue.I expect this remote to last for a long time. This is the 2nd Harmony remote I've purchased, the first being a 659 two years ago.

I took the time to write down the model numbers as the software was downloading.How does it work. I still use the 659, which took the place of 7 remotes.I use this to control the following:Samsung HL61A750 61-Inch 1080p LED Powered DLP HDTVOnkyo TX-SR605 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black)Onkyo DV-SP405 Progressive Scan DVD Player with HDMI Output BlackPhillips DSX-5500 satellite receiver (waiting for new unit upgrade to HD)I didn't bother with installing the cd, I just downloaded the latest version of the software. It took me 15 minutes to configure the remote.

No regrets here.This is a no-brainer, you'll love it.

Of course I am talking about the charging contacts in the base. It was so frustrating to try and keep the remotes charged. I had to resort to placing a small candle for weight to get them to make contact. I owned two of the Harmony 880's for a couple of good years. The remotes are great but there is a known design flaw that prevents me from giving this a 5 star rating. And even then, sometimes they wouldn't.I replaced the 880's with two Ones and am happy to state that the Ones get a 5 star from me.
