Juggling 10 different remotes while simply trying to watch a movie only causes you more frustration than anything else. If you’re experiencing this, it might be time for a universal remote. With a myriad of options on the market, though, it can be hard to find the right remote for your setup. So we went out and bought the top 20 universal remotes to test them on our home theater setup so you don’t have to.
As we tested the remotes, we looked for key features and tried them out. Things like touch screens, Wi-Fi connectivity and ease of use were the most important, but we also tested features like mobile app functionality and IR vs RF.
After all of our testing, we narrowed the list down to the top 10 universal remotes and crowned one as king of all remotes: the Logitech Harmony Ultimate One. This universal remote can connect via RF and IR, features a super intuitive touch screen and works with just about any device you can think of, making it the easy choice for the #1 spot. Keep reading to learn more about the Logitech Ultimate One, as well as the other 9 universal remotes that performed better than anything else on the market.
WHY WE LIKE IT: The Logitech Harmony Ultimate universal remote offers a lot of flexibility, but you’ll need to be able to take full advantage of its features to justify its high price tag. The actual remote has a limited number of buttons, but the 2.4-inch touch screen takes the place of a large number of buttons.
The remote has a rechargeable battery, charging as it rests inside the accompanying cradle. Justifying the price of the Harmony Ultimate is certainly easier if you have a complex home AV system, as well as some smart home devices. If you want even more smart remote products, then visit our best smart remotes guide.
Update: While Amazon notes that this product has been discontinued it’s still in stock. In fact, it’s the best deal you can now get from Logitech, as it includes both the remote and the Hub and costs just $189. Conversely, Logitech’s website offers its higher end remote and hub for $298, which is likely over kill for most people.
The remote itself has a touch screen, which greatly simplifies controlling your devices and its settings. You can touch a command on the screen, such as “watch TV,” and the Harmony Ultimate will automatically find the devices that operate your television and turn them on. Customization is also easy with this component, allowing you to reorganize buttons, and program up to 23 of your favorite channels, and guide icons the way you like.

The Harmony Hub (right side of the above picture and included with this remote kit), provides an infrared repeater, as well as Bluetooth capabilities. You’ll be able to control smart home devices with the Wi-Fi connected Harmony Hub through your mobile device after you download the Harmony app. You won’t be able to fully use the Hub’s feature unless you download the app.
While it’s nice to be able to use a smartphone app for your remote control, you won’t have tactile feedback, as you would with a traditional remote. And running the remote through a smartphone app and Wi-Fi will cause slower responses than using a traditional remote with IR. This component is compatible with thebest streaming deviceas well, and this universal remote control is also available on Amazon.
WHY WE LIKE IT: We live in a smartphone centric world. So what better way to always have control of your home and your home theater’s controls. And there is no remote to fight over or lose, or charge.
While techinically this isn’t a remote control per se, the Harmony HUB with smartphone app can most certainly fill the void. The Harmony app can be downloaded from Google Store or the Apple Store, although the app will never be as fast as a physical remote, so keep that in mind. Advantages here are that the hub component is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home, so you can have voice control for your homeentertainmentif you combine it with an Alexa device. Also, since this hub can send commands to devicesusingWiFi, IR, or Bluetooth signals, you cancontrolyour devices evenbehindclosed doors or cabinets and access home entertainment services like Netflix and Hulu. It connects with streamingdevicessuch as Apple TV, Roku, cable box and popular game consoles like Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PS3.
WHY WE LIKE IT: The Logitech Harmony Companion All in One Remote blends both the tech versed and averse by including both the HUB for smartphone use and a physical remote for those that want a simple channel changer.
Take note that this remote is limited to just 8 devices. But with it comes the Harmony HUB, which means you can control devices behind a cabinet door or without line of sight. It also works with Alexa and Google Home. It has a full number pad and a streamlined button layout toeasilychange to your favourite channel, fast-forward, rewind, and adjust volume. You can also control grouped or individual home entertainment devices using dedicated automation buttons.
If you like the look of a traditional remote control, the GE Universal Remote is a popular model that provides control though numerous buttons, rather than a touch screen. You can fully program this remote through your computer, allowing it to control a variety of devices.
The button layout on the GE Universal Remote makes a lot of sense, and GE makes it really easy to set up the remote with all your devices and program all of the relevant buttons.
The remote’s buttons are back lit, and the lights activate as soon as you pick up the unit, which is a great feature, as it allows you to see the buttons in the dark. The main drawbacks to the GE Universal Remote are its lack of RF capabilities and that it doesn’t use a rechargeable battery, but those are minor problems when you consider the low price of this universal remote.
Even though it has been on the market for a few years, the GE Universal Remote represents a great mix of strong features and value, making it the best universal remote option available.
WHY WE LIKE IT: Remote and hub can authoritatively control a massive number of devices. The Logitech Harmony Elite has a very high price tag versus other universal remote options, but it also a versatile option, allowing for control of up to 15 devices at one time.
Like the Harmony Ultimate discussed earlier, the Harmony Elite remote has a touch screen, which allows you to touch a simple command on the screen such as “watch TV” to activate all associated devices like your smart TV. You can use the touch screen to change channels or adjust volume too, or you can use the traditional remote control buttons on the lower half of the device.
WHY WE LIKE IT: As with the Harmony Ultimate above, you’ll receive a physical remote with the Logitech Harmony Home Control, as well as the Harmony Hub. You then can download the Harmony app to your smartphone to provide additional features and the ability to control smart home devices.
The physical universal remote with the Harmony Ultimate is pretty basic, not offering as many buttons as some other units or any display screen option, but it will perform the majority of tasks you need. When you’re ready to gain more control, you’ll download the Harmony app to your smartphone.
It would have been nice if Logitech had given the physical remote’s buttons a back light, so you could easily see the buttons in the dark. But this is still a good value for those who have smart appliances they want to control, as you’ll save some money with this unit, primarily because of the lack of a touch screen on the physical remote.
If you want the best TV remote, we recommend trying a great universal TV remote. Why? Universal remote controls are great pieces of hardware — as long as they work correctly, that is. While it’s handy to replace three, four, or more remote controls with a single unit, it needs to be easy to set up and use, and make a quick connection with the varying devices you have in your home.
For example, if you have an entire home theater setup, you’ll want only the best universal remote control for a home theater. That way, you’re not trying three different remotes just to turn on the TV. You want one single remote that controls everything.
Whether you prefer a traditional universal remote with dozens of buttons or a touchscreen control option, you have a host of great options for picking universal remotes, none of which will require pressing buttons with an elbow. So, keep reading to learn more about top-rated all-in-one remotes.
For your universal remote to improve your experience with your television and other devices, it needs to have some “smart” options. Some universal remotes allow you to perform programming searches or provide suggestions on what type of new shows you might like. You will have to pay more for a universal remote with these features.
If you’re the kind of person who sees all of the buttons on a universal remote and has a panic attack, thinking back to your days of using a scientific calculator in high school math class, you will want a remote that’s easy to use. Some universal remotes incorporate touch screens, programmable buttons, or voice commands to simplify your interaction with them.
The best universal remotes can control more than just the TV obviously. After all, if you’re purchasing a universal remote, you want it to run your set top box, DVD/Blu-ray player, and sound system. But some newer universal remotes can control other smart appliances in your home too. Just make sure any universal remote you pick has compatibility features so it can handle any older devices in your home.
Most universal remotes will work well with most devices, but you’re probably going to have to do some troubleshooting for a couple of connections. This is normal. Think about how many hundreds of different devices are out there, and it’s tough to connect easily with all of them. So be prepared to do a little troubleshooting.
You may be tempted to use a remote app on your smartphone, rather than purchase a standalone universal remote. And while this does work well for some, there are some inherent problems with this setup. If the app is only on your phone, it can be frustrating to try to share the smartphone with everyone who wants to watch TV. And if your smartphone battery is constantly at a low level, using it as a remote while it’s connected to a charging cord is a hassle. Moreover, generally speaking, the delay from the smartphone to the remote can be so slow it will be impossible for channel flipping and perform repetitive tasks.
Most Important Universal Remote FeaturesCONNECTIVITYInfrared (IR) is the most common remote control method connecting with a device. IR is inexpensive, the emitted infrared codes do require line of sight between the remote and device. Radio frequency (RF) overcomes the line of sight problem found with IR remotes, allowing for a connection between the remote and a device inside a closed cabinet, where line of sight is not possible. However, because very few devices can accept RF signals, the remote likely will need a device to turn the RF signal into IR, such as a repeater. WiFi networks can provide a means for a universal remote to connect with devices on the network. If you have a media center or home theater, you may want a remote that can make a connection over WiFi.
DISPLAY SCREENSome remotes contain display screens, giving you messages that allow you to make decisions specific to the device you’re controlling. Other remotes use the display screen as a touch screen, allowing you to make some selections with the touch screen, which may be easier for some people to use, as they’re likely familiar with smartphone interfaces. It also allows for more customization to match your setup.
CONTROLLING DEVICESMost universal remotes naturally are made to connect to TVs, set top boxes, optical disc players, and sound systems. However, you may want to pick a remote that also can control home appliances in a smart home environment, such as Logitech’s offering.
MOBILE DEVICE APPSAnother option is to turn your smartphone or tablet into a universal remote by downloading an app. A couple of the best universal remote app options for Apple products are Simple Control and MyURemote, though you might need an IR blaster attachment A best universal remote app Android option is Touchsquid, as well as SURE Universal. Of note, some Android handsets have a built-in IR blaster, making them much more practical solutions.
