deal on Logitec Harmony Remote

[Anole]

I hesitate to post this, but I hear a lot of people clamoring for universal remotes that'll run everything.
For all you FTA buffs and home-theater lovers with too many boxes, is this useful?

Logitech Harmony 676 Universal Remote Control for $50 at Amazon, free shipping.
Normally goes for well over $100, I think.

I have a big stack of remotes, but in the past I've never really liked using universals to run multiple items.
Just a personal preference, I guess.
I like the look 'n feel (and color) of the different units.

Thanks for the heads up. I seriously thought about it. The price really is amazing. But, after careful consideration, like you, I have a bias toward my existing remote controls. I mean, if man can't handle four remotes, can he really refer to himself as a man?

That is a GREAT deal! SAMS Club has them for $89 I was considering...But like you guys, I like and am comfortable with my remotes but I may try it for this price! Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for the heads up, Anole. I'm not sure if I want that model or if I'm going to hold out for one of the higher-end Harmony remotes...

Price is now $59.99, free shipping.

the Harmony 880 and 890 are great. the rest of just sort of 'ok'.

i actually cant live w/o my two 880s. I never thought one remote could replace the six or so remotes that have been stored in a drawer since 2005, but my 880s easily handle my daily-use functions. So well, in fact i had to get a second one for my bedroom.

you'd def want a Harmony that has at least the eight on-screen user-define-able function buttons. 6 or 4 buttons is not enough for serious use.

Also the Harmonys with a ni-cad battery/docking station are the way to go...

Scott, thats not enough for all of us, after you order more let us know.

 

[Anole]

Hey, who knew they had so many models ?
Sorry I even opened my mouth.

While they have other models, that was a great price for the 676. Thanks for posting the info, a great deal is always appreciated! :
