 Works great - saves rewiring July 19, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A huge time and money saver if you live in an older house.
I bought a "hot water" dispenser for the sink, but couldn't leave it on without running the garbage disposer 24/7. This gadget let's me leave the outlet ON 24/7 so that we always have the hot water dispenser ready....and then we use this beauty to turn the garbage disposer on and off. Saved much work and time. Didn't have to rewire anything!
In my garage I had no "3-way" switch, but my wife and I use
1. the garage side door
2. the garage house door
3. the garage main door
.....so with one of these gadgets and an extra transmitter hanging by each door, we can turn the garage lights on and off from anywhere as we come and go. I saved a day-and-a-half by not having to rewire the garage!
(I bought an extra one and did the same for my mother's garage.)
I put one under our front walkway fountain and turn the fountain on and off from inside the house...all without rewiring anything.
I just bought five more, as gifts, and will also use them at Christmastime to control the lights in the front yard.
The longest I've had one is 6 years so far, and I've never had one fail yet.
Works well but be aware of the battery type July 15, 2007

This product works as specified. Plug it in, and plug in something else into it's plug. Then you can control the power supply to the 'something else' with the handy remote. Additionally, it really does work through walls. I use it for a lamp in the corner of my room that is difficult to get to and is dangerous to get to in the dark.
However, be aware that the battery for the remote is not a common battery. It is a '23A' type 12V battery that is about half the length and the same diameter as a AAA. Thankfully, they supply two batteries for the remote and the remote only requires one battery at a time, giving you a backup. If you google search for 'L1028 battery' or '23A battery' you should be able to find some suppliers of this battery.
Overall, I am disappointed that the battery was not something like a AA or AAA, but otherwise I am completely satisfied.
Works just like I wanted it to July 9, 2007

We use a fan in our daughter's room to block out noise while she is sleeping and the others are still awake. Problem is sometimes sneaking back into her room after the whole house is asleep I make too much noise and wake her up. I bought this to turn off the fan without having to ever go near her room and I can now do it from the comfort of my bed. It is two rooms over and it works like a charm.
I use it Indoors July 5, 2007

I bought this remote for my roomlight to help me get up in the morning. (I live in a loft and have no windows) So instead of getting up and turing on this light, I can now remotely turn it on.
Pros:
1. Comes with an extra battery
2. Good build quality
3. Nice remote (comes with a key chain holder)
4. Plugs in and then the cord extends (pictured)
Cons:
1. A little big for indoor use as it is on the bulkier side. (not a problem for me as it hides behind a sofa)
Also it was on Amazon Prime.. so free shipping!
Cool product! Worked great for me! June 12, 2007

This works great with my fountain. I built a waterproof box with an electrical outlet in it(connected to a GFCI breaker of course). The box is big enough to hold the outlet with this product plugged in to the outlet and then the fountain pump plugged into the wireless outlet. The box is heavily siliconned so it is water tight and located in a hole under the fountain. I was worried the remote signal wouldn't be able to get through the water tight box....but it works perfect. Now I can turn the fountain on and off with a remote! Now if only I could get my front door to open with a remote like they used to do on "Silver Spoons"!!!
