Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
First off, I am a Logitech/Harmony remote proponent, since I'm on my second Harmony remote (Harmony One)...the first one developed a bad key after 4 years of heavy use. I like the software-based system to update the universal remotes and the flexibility it provides.

I received this unit as part of the Vines program, so it was free and I don't have a bone to pick with Logitech. I was unsure that this was a product I would find useful, especially with my spouse bemoaning the fact that we have 'another' remote to contend with. I sort of wanted to prove her wrong. As you'll see I wasn't entirely successful.

The pros:
Packaging was excellent...this could have been an Apple-branded product from the way it was packaged. Even the inside of the box had some foam padding glued to the top (for some reason), but I was impressed. The unit can be seen in the photos...very streamlined and unobtrusive.
Setup can be easy, if you have an existing Harmony remote for your... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The remote I've been looking for! (next step, grammar lessons), March 12, 2012

Customer Video Review Length:: 1:53 Mins

This remote is even easier to setup and use than the other Logitech models I've owned (638, 680, and 690). Programming is quick and easy, guided by the Logitech web interface. My media configuration is straight forward and I imagine typical. It consists of a DVD player, ROKU box, Verizon cable box/DVR, AV receiver, and Projector. It took me less than 30 minutes to unpack the remote, create an account on the Logitech site, answer a few questions about my media equipment and how I use it, enter the WPA key for my WiFi network , and move the Harmony Link to the room where I watch TV. The accompanying video gives some examples of how it works with the Link iPhone app.

The interface is well thought out. All the common functions are immediately available through well labeled, adequately sized buttons. The most common of them such as volume, mute, pause, etc, also can be accessed with a finger swipe avoiding the need to push buttons at all... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Barely 1 Star, October 6, 2011
By 
Kieth Moon (North America) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Logitech 915-000144 Harmony Link - Black (Electronics)
Pros:
1. Easy to setup.
2. Provides basic remote functions Power, Play, Stop, Fast Forward, Menu, List, etc.
3. Provides tv programming guide

Cons:
1. Virtual remote is limited to basic remote functions.
2. You can't replace your actual remote if you use DirecTV, Dish or Comcast specialty buttons. For my receiver, I need to use additional buttons, but there is no free button in the virtual remote app to assign this function or any other one you want to use. And since the harmony link can learn commands, you would expect the virtual remote would provide available freebie buttons to use the way you want them to be used. Unfortunately, this feature is not provided.
3. Customer support is probably worse than the phone company technical support.

Summary - go get the Harmony 700 which does more than this disappointment.
