Prosgreat step by step set up.
ConsI don't have any.

Review:if you have several componets, you need this. IT SIMPLY ROCKS!

ProsLooks pretty.
ConsIf you are getting this to use with your media center computer, better hope you have your own ir sensor, cause this thing doesn't come with one. If you don't have one, don't even bother. This thing is useless to you. I found that out the hard way.

ProsThe button layout is decent but not great.
ConsThis remote is hard to program, slow to turn devices on, and won't control many options on standard equipment. Additionally, the larger buttons such as Guide and Menu have to be pressed in just the right spot or they won't work.

Review:Knowing what I now about this remote now, I wouldn't spend $10 on it

ProsDefinately a good start. Features an ergonomic design and I like the fact that the whole thing is backlit.
ConsI thought the buttons were a little too small, and the layout wasn't very intuitive. Also, I thought the set-up process was a little confusing-- I had trouble using it with a Mac

Review:It's a good remote, the designers obviously put a lot of thought into this thing, but it's far from perfect. I just recently heard about another remote, similar to the Harmony from a company called X-10. It's called the icon remote (???) Anyway, it looks like it shares similar features with the Harmony, but it doesn't require a computer to get started. And since I can't, for the life of me, get the Harmony to work with my Mac, I'll be trading mine in for the icon remote.

ProsExtensive database of control codes for a wide variety of components. "Activities" make it easy to start up a complicated setup with one click -- easy for other family members to get a setup up and going. Works great with my MCE/HDTV/Cable/AVReceiver setup. Useful "help" button if programmed right. "Canned" setups are pretty complete for basic multi device configurations.
ConsSmall buttons are too close for my stubby fingers. Web-based software is absolutely horrible -- you've got to be online to do anything. If you lose your connection, you can lose your whole setup. Can't do "macros" for the individual devices.

ProsSimple to use menu system. Good quality / construction. Backlight is very usefull.
ConsMost actions are performed on a 'relative' basis - ie assume the TV / device is in a certain mode, on a certain input, etc. The remote then cycles through an action a specific number of times to get to where it thinks it should be. - The problem with this is, for example, if a device (eg TV) has Input 1 for DVD, Input 2 for Cable and Input 3 for Tuner, and you program the remote to watch Cable TV - it send's one 'change input' commands to the TV assuming you are already on Input 1. This is useless if you happen to have been using input 3 first as you end up with the TV on the wrong input.
When using the 'select device' feature, all buttons of the Hrmony map to that single chosen device - This is a pain as most typical Cable setup's require the channel to be changed using the Cable remote, but the volume, or aspect ration's etc to be controlled using the TV remote.

Review:Don't buy one of these expecting it to be a solution to a lost remote. - Despite the computer interface for simplified set-up, most configurations still require the origional remote control to correctly program/train the Harmony!

Backlight seems to have a mind of it's own and randomly switches on by itself even when not being handled!

ProsThis is my second harmony and I have recommended to two other friends that have also purchased them and no complains. The activity feature and internet update and configuration make this the only remote where I can put away the originals and just have one remote at the table.
ConsNone

ProsControls everything (I mean everything, from XBox360 to my mac mini). Sleak design, it learned pretty much all codes I threw at it. Very very customizable. The soft keys are an excellent addition once its trimmed down. So easy, a caveman could use it. Back light is motion sensitive, so it turns on when you pick it up!
ConsThe programming "software" is absolutely horrible. It's bad on Windows, and it is bad on OS X (but at least the released a mac version). If you like to control your devices with other methods (maybe even turning on the tv manually!) then it may give you a few problems as its chains remember "states" of devices, and if something is out of state it will act funny as it executes the chained commands.

Review:When configuring your devices (especially your tv) try out the PowerOn and PowerOff command, while your OEM remote more than likely only had a toggle many devices actually have a specific IR code for PowerOn and PowerOff which will come in handy as your design your activities. Overall, an excellent remote.
