The design is well thought out and easy to hold with one hand use for everything. The touch screen is nice and it gives a variety of features without searching all over to turn a component on. It is not infrared so you do need to have direct line of site. If you follow the instructions it is fairly easy to program, but you need to have access to the back side of all your components. The Harmony One is an excellent multipurpose remote which can replace several other remotes. Pay what they ask and get it while you still can. Suffice it to say that it took a charge and is still working very well. How could a battery be stil good sitting in a box for 8 years. I thought that if it worked then i would need to at least get a new battery. I bought the Harmony One for much mored than i wanted to pay and I have been thrilled ever sense. I am told that it has been discontinuted as well. The Ultimate One was awful and too many problems to list here. So i bought the Ultimate One thinking that it would be an even better product. I had a Harmony One in another room and was pleased by it but was disappointed that it had been discontinued. In December 2015 I bought a Harmony Ultimate One to replace an older Logictech contoller where the buttons were starting to fail. I believe the Harmony One was last produced around 2008.

While that's worked well for me (Blu Ray player, TV, receiver, cable box) one more component and I'm back to additional remotes. If there's anything negative to put in, it would be the lack of available components one can control with this partic ular model (only 4). I've used an awful lot of universal remotes over the years and I think I can safely say this is the best one so far for those reasons. Additionally, I like the "Watch TV" button being able to be programmed to turn on the TV, receiver and cable box and default the volume buttons to always work the receiver pretty slick. Likewise, the method to program individual buttons to do whatever you need them to do, and to program buttons off the functions of the original remote, is user-friendly as well.
