Customer Review: For those with good eyesight!
Summary: 2 Stars
I have finally reached the age where I need glasses for reading small things especially in the dark. The buttons on the remote are small, rounded and shiny with small print so in daylight you get all kinds of reflections that make it hard to read without good glasses. There is a backlight feature that is not very powerful and really does not help so it is even worse in the dark. So every time I use the remote I need glasses until I finally memorize the button locations. Don't count on the sizing of the buttons to help you either as there is no logic to it.
My husband bought this remote to simplify our complex system since he knows I have no time or patience for messing with remotes, and it works well once you push the correct buttons (he is a geek so he did not have problems with the set-up) but if I have to scrabble for glasses to change the channel while I am cooking and watching the news, it really does not help much.
My advice - buy this remote only if you have really good vision and have the patience to program it correctly. DO NOT BUY THIS FOR AGING PARENTS or anyone without great vision for reading!
Customer Review: Harmony 670
Summary: 2 Stars
Very laborious downloading proceedure for audio/visual codes. Unit was clumsy to operate, by the time you located the correct buttons to activate the desired functions the television or dvd player had reverted to sleep mode wiping out all your efforts and necessitating starting over. Screen was difficult to see and/or read- too dark, not enough backlighting or contrast. I had better and easier luck with a $10.00 panasonic remote than this expensive monster. I returned the unit.Customer Review: great idea, poor customer service from Logitech

I ordered this remote as a replacement for another Harmony that I had for 8 months. Both had the same issue - although the one that was 8 months old was out of warrenty, so I replaced it. The idea of this remote is great. It is super easy to set up and use. We have 4 devices to control and it is so great not to have all those remotes laying around. After 3 weeks of use, the LCD screen on the remote became un readable. It looks "swirly" on the screen. The remote still works, although you have to go from memory what was on the screen. I contacted Logitech who told me this was a common problem and they would send me a replacement remote. Several days later I received an email that said the remote would not be covered under warrenty. I have attempted to contact them several times to get clarification and there is no response. Their phone agents can not transfer calls or answer any questions aside from technical. It has been very frustrating and was a waste of money! Customer Review: Great Product

I gave this product to my nephew for Christmas because it was on his wish list and he is absolutely thrilled with it. The Amazon price was the best around and I would recommend this universal remote to anyone.Customer Review: Another solid Logitech product!

Just got my new Harmony 670 today, and set it up immediately. I was a little concerned with how difficult it would be to get this thing set-up when I ordered it. BUT...the CD-ROM and instruction manual couldn't be simpler. Kudos to Logitech for their obvious attention to usability. Set-up was truly a breeze. I just replaced 4 remotes with this thing: Samsung HDTV, Sony Digital Receiver, Sony DVD, and Motorola Digital Cable/DVR. Highly recommended! I own a couple of Logitech wireless optical mice also...never had a problem with any Logitech product.
