I bought this item to operate a fan that I installed in a portion of our loft that overlooks our bed but is only reachable by ladder. Now we don't have the fan cluttering the room and I can power it up with a remote from 30' away. Very happy.

Most people don't know that when you shut off your TV/Computer/Stereo that it still uses electricity - in some cases as much power as if the unit is actually turned on (it's called "stand by power"). The only way to really make it stop using electricity is to unplug it.
This unit is great. Shut off the TV, then use the remote to shut off the power supply - no need to unplug anything.
Just another way to save $$ and save the environment at the same time!

I put a computer in the basement to use as a media source for my big LCD screen TV on the first floor. I was concerned that the signal from the switch wouldn't get through the aluminum vapor barrier in the insulation in the basement floor but I've used it for 2 weeks now and it's worked flawlessly. I'm very pleased. :)

This product solved a problem we were having. Our Proxima projector is ceiling mounted, and you have to climb a ladder to unplug/replug it. Now instead of climbing a ladder, we use the remote control to unplug/replug it. Thanks!

First off you get two batteries with this one. One to use right away and one for later on when the first one dies, which i imagine would take awhile because of the small use it goes through in a day. This product works great I have it under a bed that's plugged into a lamp and it works just fine turning the light on with a simple click. I can imagine there might be a few things that wouldn't work with it though such as things that have a power button. I would recommend test out the thing you want to attach it to first by turning on the lamp or what ever it may be, then unplug it. If it turns back on by just plugging it back in then it should work just fine.

While this product works well with lamps and fans that have knobs that you turn, it only half works with fans or other products that turn on with buttons. For example, I have a fan that you press the button three times to go from low to high to off. The remote will turn it off, but won't turn it back on. Same thing with a button-only air conditioner. However, it does turn my twist-dial fan both on and off.

Plug it in and it worked great, until it blew out the next day. What a rip off.

This product did not work. I was quickly sent a replacement,
but That one did not work either. So I returned both and
bought something else. The service was good.

This remote control power outlet is PERFECT for those areas in your home where it's inconvenient to manually turn off the appliance, such as lamps, etc.

Very good for those with mobility issues.

We also used it to play a (harmless) prank on a co-worker. She thought her fan was possessed. Hilarity ensued.

I was skeptical at first because i didn't see any reviews concerning obstructions such as walls and doors.
I bought two, one indoor and one outdoor. Indoor one works with my living room lamp. i use the outdoor outlet upstairs to control my internet equipment. From down stairs, I am able to turn on/off outlet just fine, even with door closed and through wall. So, i am assuming that the indoor will do the same.
NOTE: sometimes the remote came with the cover screw twisted too tight, causing the remote not to work. just loosen the screw a little and it will work just fine. I want to say that because someone complains about remote didn't work.
