Here is what people are saying about the Logitech Harmony 880 Remote Control (Refurbished)
5 Star Rating  "Excellent remote for complex system."2009-11-16
- Reviewed By r_melville
I bought this to replace another Harmony that had some 'soft' buttons wearing out. This one has 'hard' buttons that I hope will last longer. It is able to operate my home theater system that consists of a TV, Blue Ray Player, DVD player, Receiver, VCR, and CD changer. So, it replaces six remotes from devices of different manufacturers and from new to nearly 12 years old. Some of the programming is a little tricky, but once it is done, the remote can control the whole system with a few simple button pushes.

I have purchased several Harmony 880 remotes, 2 refurbished and 1 new. Aside from the difference in packaging - refurbished items come in a plain cardboard box, while newer items are in full display-quality boxes - there is little difference between them. I almost prefer the refurbished models, since there is less waste packaging to get through.

For the remote itself, it is somewhat difficult for the average user to get set up. It can take a couple hours to figure out all of the various configuration options, from picking the correct models for your equipment to virtual button setup. This thing is programmable for just about any device you can think of, as long as it uses an IR port. I've had them working blinds, fans and computers even. Unfortunately it is not able to control a PS3, though there is an adapter you can purchase that works well for that if you're willing to spend the money for it (worth it, IMHO).

With a little patience, though, once everything is configured this is an amazingly simple remote to use. I've given these as gifts to some relatives that are barely at the ability to stop VCRs from flashing 12:00, and after I've completed the remote setup for them they have had no problem at all with device operation. The handiest part is the on-screen troubleshooting, which helps get devices synched up if there are any problems.

The remote is quite durable. I've dropped them a few times from heights as high as 5 feet onto hardwood floors, and they keep ticking. The worst I've seen was one remote cycled through a reboot process to self-check - that only took about 20 seconds and it was back in working order. After a couple years of use, the backlight is still bright, battery is still holding a good charge, the button labels are hardly faded, and all buttons are clicking like new.

If you want a really really excellent experience, go for the Harmony 890 and set up the RF adapter so the remote can work no matter where you point it - the freedom is amazing! Still, I highly recommended the 880 for basic entertainment center use.

Program setup can be very difficult depending on devices. Learning old remotes is not easy at all with some,but not others. Customer support is good and helpful. I had to have their support.
Do I like it now? Yes, I do, very much. I don't have any regret of buying Harmony 880. It is a good lucking design also. So far I have no cradle problem. This cradle seems to have spring loaded gold plated contacts which is desirable. If the springs become weak, I will have proble also.
I have:
Onkyo TX-SR876 surround sound system with all devices;1 Sony TV, 1 Karaoke system, 4 DVD players and 1 DVD/VCR combo.

I got this when the refurbished version cost about $80, which was a real bargain. For those concerned about buying a refurbished item, your concerns are valid only if the manufacturer support is poor. Read mine and countless other customer reviews and you will see that Logitech's support is beyond reproach. I received mine with a fault. The gyroscope, which allows the remote to sense movement and so "wake" the display, did not work. So I called support. They looked up the unit and established the date it was bought and the fact it was a refurbished model and I had a new remote 3 days later. Best yet, I did not have to return the original unit, they simply had me register the new unit (which worked perfectly) a process which disabled the original unit. Since I got this for less than half of what a new unit costs, I see this as a minor issue, not worth docking a star for.

I have five devices used with this system - a TV, a PS3, a DVR, a DVD player and an AV amplifier. One thing worth mentioning is that this unit sends IR commands only, so it will not control a PS3 which uses bluetooth. You can buy products that will recieve IR and convert to bluetooth if you wish. Other than that, I can control all my other devices without a single function missing. In fact, in the case of my TV, I actually am able to perform functions that my original, supplied remote does not. I was able to set up basic control of all devices using presets in the online database - so I basically searched for the make/model of each device, selected it and it prepogrammed the remote with all the functions mapped to the correct keys.

I spent a little time editing some of the presets. Just for personal preference, but I found more convenient button mappings that once again improved my level of control from the original remote. I also experimented with faster delay settings so that switching between devices was faster. These involve macros that can be conveniently named, "Watch TV" or "Play Game" etc. During these, multiple commands fire in sequence and you must keep the unit pointed at your devices for them to work correctly. Not to worry if you don't one time - simply press the "Help" button and the remote guides you through a little troubleshooting menu that gets you back on track.

I have also had the unit learn commands not included in the presets. This involves pointing the original remote at the base of the Harmony so that it can sense you activating the needed command and program it into the software. You then name your command and map it to a key. You can also rename existing commands in the presets - useful for adding to the keys on the sides of the LCD display which label command buttons that do not correspond to standard remote buttons. Consider this useful if you have a device with red, blue, yellow and green keys for example. These buttons are useful, though in a perfect product they would be a bit more responsive. They sometimes feel like you have pressed them, but nothing happens. Other models do not have this issue, but you pay much more for the privilege.

I did not have any charger worries (as some have had), and have had this for nearly a year without any other issues but the gyro problem. Since this was resolved with absolute haste, I do not see this as a con. I also had Logitech's excellent support help with my TV's odd setup, and the timing of my DVR's commands (all of which are peculiarities of the device, not the remote) and the Harmony still works better than the original remote.

I simply cannot recommend this more highly. Since the price seems to have risen, I do not see it as quite the bargain it once was, but it is still more than worth the cost. Though it is not a "perfect" product, I see it as by far the best bang for the buck. Features on the more expensive models are those that most buyers will rarely, if ever need or are "niggles" that would be nice to have, but not worth the extra cost.

One week owner of the Logitech Harmony 880. Great remote. Easy set-up. Only draw back so far are the small button's with small print that is difficult to read if your over forty.
Battery life to be determined.
Would recommend to a friend.
