The way to go is to think about your circumstances and decide exactly what you expect from a Logitech advanced universal remote.
If you don't do that, chances are you'll end up buying the wrong one.
The following scenarios might seem familiar to you:
- You have 6 remotes lying around in your living room and unless someone exerts himself (herself) to have them organized EACH day, they lie around and you get frustrated getting the one you're looking for.
- You have to put on the lights to change from TV to a DVD, since you haven't learned how to work the remotes in the dark/semi-dark.
- The remote controlling device isn't working properly and eventually you establish the battery is flat.
- Some of your devices are inside the cupboard and you have to open the door and point the remote at the device if you want to control it.
Even worse, some devices are in the room next door! - You devices are old-fashioned and you would like step up to new generation remotes.
- You are willing to spend quite some money if you can get what you want.
So, which one will suit you best? Should you buy the ONE, the 1000, 890 or 880? Good news is that your needs will be met by a Logitech advanced universal remote:
- A single Logitech advanced universal remote can replace up to 15 other remotes.
Just think about it: No more remotes lying around.
With one remote you control all your devices! - All Logitech advanced universal remotes have full colour displays and back-lit buttons.
Some have touch-screen displays. - The back-lit buttons enable you to control any device whether the lights are on or not.
- All Logitech advanced universal remotes use state-of-the-art rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
They also fit snugly into a neat little unit where recharging takes place.
No more flat batteries! - For those devices inside the cupboard or in the next room, relax, Logitech has the answer! : Radio frequency sensors.
All models use infra-red sensors to control devices, but the 890 and 1000 make use of radio frequency (RF) as well.
This is a very important fact, since with RF you can control devices behind closed doors or even in another room.
If this is important to you, you should consider either the 890 or the 1000.
However, these two models are by far the more expensive ones. - Price: There's a huge difference between the 880, going for $137.
43 on the one hand, and the 1000 going for $312.
80, on the other hand.
The 890 goes for $277.
10 and the ONE for $193.
41.
Everybody has to decide for himself whether the higher prices of the 890 and 1000 are justified in terms of his own budget or not.
If you want both RF and touch-screen, you have to consider the 1000, which goes for $312.
80.
If you have to have RF, but don't feel that strong about touch-screen, the 890 is your model at $277.
10.
If you want touch-screen, but are not willing to pay for the RF, the ONE should be your choice at $193.
41.
If you just want a quality universal remote which has withstood the test of time, but without RF and touch-screen, the 880 at $137.
43 is a bargain! Whatever you choose, there is a Logitech advanced universal remote that suits your need best.
