I bought this to control some cable lighting I installed above some tall cabinets as offset lighting. At install, the controller was finicky about where to point it to make it work. But a couple days later when I tried to get the lights on, I had to hold it a foot away from the outlet to make it work--sometimes. I bought a name brand one at the local hardware store for $2 more and it works perfectly from virtually anywhere in my house. This one is not well made and not reliable; I won't be buying anything this brand again ever.

This is a RF NOT IR remote and works just fine behind Entertainment Center and does not require line-of-sight!

Easy and simple to use. Price is very good from this store and highly recommend this product for the Christmas tree and everywhere access is difficult.

This was a great value; instead of rewireing my Kitchen I purchased the single switch for my garbage disposal and it works great. This is a long term solutation that saved me a lot of money for a minor problem.

This switch has a built in 4 hour timer. So if whatever you have plugged into it is turned off for more than 4hrs, you have to reactivate the device with the remote or manually.

Example:I used it to turn off the living room lights from my bedroom at night. When I wake up in the morning, I hit the remote and turn the lights on. Then I turn off the lights manually before leaving for work. Then, in the evening, when I come home to a dark house, I either have to move the couch to turn the device on manually, or fumble my way to my bedroom to hit the remote. Were it not for this built in timer, which you can't turn off, it would be a good product.

One of my three remote units burnt out after only using it a half dozen times on 400 Watts of flouresent lighting. Control range for remote is not consistent. Sometimes it works from across the room. At other times I need to be 2 feetaway. Battery in remote is not a common AA or AAA. You have to buy an odd ball 12V miniature battery type 23AE, when it is time to replace it.

It used to take me 10-15 minutes to walk around my home and light the many Christmas decorations that I have. Now, that time has been cut in thirds. I just push the buttons and voila! Wonderful!

This wireless switch was easy to install and worked great for about three weeks. But then it stayed locked in the on position, even though the little red power light goes off and on with getting a signal from the remote controller. I called Northern Tool and Equipment and they just said sorry, no warranty on that device. I had probably used it a total of 15 cycles when it failed.

I did not purchase this product through Amazon. But I bought the exact same device (Super Switch Brand with three outlets and one remote control with three switches) from a Harbor Freight Tool Store. I experienced the same problem described by others in the reviews involving short range which kept getting shorter and eventually didn't work at all after about a week. I purchased a skylink wireless remote Skylink WS-100/WS-100N Wireless Remote Control, Channel A(Single switch and outlet) using Amazon and it has been working perfectly for over a year now.

I LOOKED ALL OVER THREE TOWNS - No one had anything like this product in price or quality. It works just fine for us to control table lamps when you enter from an area that has no wall switch. All you need is to have the lamp turned on and if the wall outlet is controled from a wall switch, be sure it is on. I would recommend this highly for wireless switching.
