What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this remote-controlled outlet for its convenience and reliability. The standout feature is the remote control, which eliminates the need to get out of bed or reach behind furniture to turn lights on or off. The dual-outlet design allows simultaneous control of two devices, such as two lamps or outdoor string lights. Reviewers consistently note the simple plug-and-play setup, straightforward operation, and timer functions as major benefits. Most find it works perfectly for bedside lamps, living room lights, and holiday decorations. A small number report limited range through walls and occasional malfunctions, but these are rare. Overall, customers strongly recommend it for accessibility and daily convenience.

great for hard to reach fan

Would Recommend

Placed a large fan high on wall near ceiling and it is hard to reach on/off switch without using a step stool. Place this remote at the power source and it works the fan just fine from anywhere in the garage.

Electric Switch Remote

Pug it in. Plug lamps, Christmas tree into it. Push the ON button, lights come on. Push the OFF button, lights go off. It just doesn't get much simpler.

Remote

I absolutely love this product. I keep the remote next to my bed and can turn on a large light across the room where I only have a small light on my nightstand. I highly recommend this product.

Remote Control works FANTASTIC!!!!!

Would Recommend

My 1980s window air conditioner doesn't have a remote and is sitting behind the living room sofa. Reaching for the A/C switch was always challenging. Now, with this remote switch, I am able to plug the A/C into the remote base (the big box on the right) and into the wall outlet, set the A/C to "on" and now use the key fob to remotely turn the A/C off and on. OMG, it works wonderfully. No more stretching or bending. The radio signal is powerful to operate correctly. Good job for making a gr...

Works Great!!

Would Recommend

I purchased this outlet after finding my garage door open a couple times when we knew that we hadn't opened it. Was thinking someone close to us must have the same code for their remote door opener. So, I purchased this to power down the garage door opener to prevent it from being opened. The range is great. We can power on the outlet from the car or inside the house without issue. And we have a better piece of mind that our garage door will not be opened when we are away or sleeping.

Don't buy this product

Would Not Recommend

Worked great....once. Stopped working after first time using. Now red light flashes on base repeatedly for 30 seconds, then gets dimmer and dimmer, then goes out.

Do not buy more than one of these

Would Recommend

This device works very well, but buyer beware. I bought another one because the first one works so well and is so handy, but the first time I used it to turn a lamp on in the downstairs office, the light that was plugged into the one upstairs in the bedroom turned on, too. I didn't know it was on until I went upstairs later. I called Utilitech and they say these devices all work on the same frequency and there is no way to reset the frequency. This seems like a design flaw. Why would anyone...

Hard to program but great product

Would Recommend

I'm sure this is a great product but for me it just to hard to program. Too few buttons to program to many functions you have to press buttons repeatitly to get where you want to go and at the same time read the instructions before the function times out. Had to call company to get it programed and worked great till it lost power and had to go back to square one.------ 5 stars for the product 1 star for me because of the programming issue.

Works Great!

Would Recommend

I picked this up to use by my sliding glass door to turn on an outside fan I have mounted directly above it to keep the fly's from coming in every time someone opens the door. It's nice and clean looking, and is very easy to read. Works perfectly. I just think that for $20 it's a little pricey.

Works perfectly and provides important convenience

Would Recommend

I am using these for under cabinet LED lighting in the kitchen. Having the remotes alleviates me having to manually plug the lights into the electrical wall outlets, (one located behind the microwave) and then unplug them at night - what a pain! Now I place the remotes on the microwave and turn both on when I come in or off when I leave the kitchen. I just plugged it in and it worked. *Note: I recently replaced the old electrical outlets with new grounded outlets that are up to code. Whe...

This thing works, with walls and a wooden floor between the plug and the remote control. It is excellent!

Very nice product but has been cost reduced.

Would Recommend

I have used one of these for years in my workshop to remotely turn on additional lighting. I was kind of surprised when I got the new one home and looked at the old item. The old item had one remote transmitter with three receivers. Each receiver could control 2 connections at the same time. The total old item could control 6 connections from one remote. the newer cost reduced version can only control 2 connections from one remote. I guess it may be better than pricing the item out of normal rea...
