</div>How does the Harmony One do for size. It looks large. I bought a<br>
large universal remote once about 15 years ago, and my better half<br>
found it awkward to use. Eventually a note was nailed to it reading,<br>
"We need a new remote."<br>
<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Size is fine I prefer it Much better then the Haromny 1100i which had too few buttons (I took it back to replace it with the ONE) and got to love the rechargable batteries and docking station as long as your keep an eye on the levels although a spare phone is a good stop gap if you do happen to forget to put it on charge.<br>
