Dad loves the TV. Let's face it; who doesn't? However, he probably has a love/hate relationship with the remote control. Sometimes it doesn't work and sometimes he doesn't know how it works. Or if he does know how it works, he probably has to spend an inordinate amount of time teaching visitors (like the in-laws) how it works. And no one wants to go through life like that.
Instead of watching him (or his guests) fumble through the channel lineup for another year, Amazon has the perfect Father's Day gift: the top of the line Harmony One remote.
There are plenty of remotes out there, and even plenty of Harmony remotes. However, Amazon is offering the outstanding Harmony One as its Gold Box Deal of the Day, today on June 14th, 2010. Check it out here:
Since the Harmony One typically lists for $249.99, 41 percent off is a pretty sweet deal.
Aside from making it easy to flip through TV channels, this remote can replace up to 15 other controllers. That should get some of dad's clutter under control, making it a gift for mom as well. It works with over 225,000 devices right out of the box, including TVs, Blu-ray players, cable/satellite boxes, computers, lighting control, and more.
Our fearless leader, Chris Boylan, got to check out the Harmony One when it first came out. He liked the unit, which is no surprise. We've reviewed a few Harmony devices and they never seem to disappoint.
Other features include an easy setup, rechargeable batteries, and a color touchscreen, in addition to the hard buttons dad knows and loves. Of course, it also has the infamous Harmony Activity buttons, so dad can stop asking you how to turn on the Blu-ray player. The device can be set up to turn that on, along with the TV and receiver. Check out other options here:
We're guessing this will be a popular deal for dad, so order your Harmony soon! Think about snagging one for yourself too. The deal is only good for one day, assuming stock lasts that long, and Amazon is throwing in free shipping to boot.
