Unless severely tweaked Yamaha's VH2 is the worst offender in my opinion. In their flagship and the world's most expensive arrangers, the Tyros series, they should have the best harmonies of any manufacturer.

Don, when set up properly, the VH2 sounds very, very good. However, you must set it up as described in the lessons section at PSR Tutorial, where big741 provided the exact details required for doing this.
VH Primer Granted, it's not as good as the TC Helicon stand alone devices, but it's pretty darned good. And, if I didn't own a pair of TC Helicon Harmon-ms I would be using it exclusively. Take a look at Dan's setup and follow his instructions to the letter and you will be amazed at the results.
One of the problems with all harmonizers is the mic used. The mic MUST be very short ranged and extremely high quality. Anything less and you will not get stellar results. Mics that can pick up outside sounds will loop those harmonies and sound awful. A good example is the difference between the SM58 and the Sennheiser E855 - the difference in quality is incredible.
All the best,
Gary
