Harmony One or Harmony 885?

[TidyRach]

Sorry but I know nothing about remotes & the above, but I know my partner goes on about them all the time. I want to buy him one for his birthday, but searching online I think I gather that the Harmony One is better, but he had the Harmony 885 saved in his MyEbay... I think this might be because they are cheaper & he wont think i'll buy him one, but i'm not sure. I keep reading different reviews & i'm not sure, because i'm not technically minded, which is the best!

He has an old Harmony remote & know he'd love a new one for his birthday. So my question is: If you were given it, which remote would you rather? The 885 or the One?

Cheers

the one is better but they are both usually on offer for a lot less than normal

 

[TidyRach]

On offer where?

 

[McBunny]

http://www.google.co.uk/products usually good for getting prices

 

[TidyRach]

£115 is the best price I can find... I think!

 

[McBunny]

yes at the moment but leave it its not worth that price when every few weeks they get reduced

 

[TidyRach]

Do they really? Cause its birthday in March? So should I wait a while?

 

[McBunny]

i would just tell him you will buy it next time its on offer

Harmony 885 - £85

Harmony One - £99 (but out of stock) £100-£115 from eBay.

I've got the One and it's a good piece of kit. I'm sure I got it from Amazon for £65 when there was a deal on last year.
