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.

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...

Works! Even with obstructions

Would Recommend

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...

Exactly What I Was Looking For

Would Recommend

The majority of light in my living room comes from the two lamps on either side of my entertainment center. When I first moved in, I had those lamps on a timer so they would be on when I came home from work. Everything was fine until I realized that if I wanted to turn them on/off early or late, I was unable to do so as the outlet and timer were BEHIND the large entertainment center. So the search was on for a product with a remote control. This little baby works GREAT! I took the original timer...

Christmas Light Control

Would Recommend

I used to have my lights on a timer, but put them up very early this year and wanted an easy on and off option. I have my lights plugged into a garage receptacle, but can control the on and off from inside of the house.

Don't expect 80 feet or even 40 feet.

Would Not Recommend

This works fine if you are in the same room as the base unit but don't expect any real distance or for it to work through any walls. I purchased it to turn a light on on the garage, a distance of about 40 feet. It works up to about 20 feet but that's it. Even replaced the battery. Works fine in the same room but going through any walls or even windows seems to cut way down on the range it will work.

Product Didn't work

Would Not Recommend

Not sure what the problem is, but the remote shows a signal, but the outlet does not. Taking it back.

Great product for the handicapped

Would Recommend

Purchased for a family member who is unable to walk at the present time. This give her a great advantage for turning on and off a lamp remotely. These are hard to find for some reason. Just happened across this one in a Lowes while traveling a distance from our local stores. They say they are seasonal. Anyway I have a similar one purchased for a Christmas tree and we just left it plugged in all year and use it for a lamp, and leave the remote on the counter.

Makes life easier

Would Recommend

I wanted to be able to turn a lamp on and off while across a room. This remote was easy to install and works just like I expected. The only disappointment was that he battery hat was included, and I paid for as part of the purchase, was dead. I had to snag another battery from another appliance and it worked just fine. How nice to light up the dark room when I walk into it, without having to cross to the other side where the lamp is plugged in. Time will tell how good the product lasts and perfo...

This is the best thing since sliced bread!

Would Recommend

I have TWO of these and love them! It's one of those things that makes life a little easier. Just click the remote and turn on/off the lights from anywhere in the room. It's especially nice for a light over a painting. I get in bed, read, get the covers all fixed and click the remote and that's it. Couldn't be happier. Worth the price. Get it. You won't be sorry.

Bummer!

Would Not Recommend

I bought this for my handicapped sister-in-law and drove 40 miles to install it. It worked just fine, until that evening when it quit working altogether. Another long round trip to pick it up, and now I have to return it to Lowe's. Not a happy camper.

Does the Job

Would Recommend

I wanted an easy way to turn on (and off) the lamp beside my bed without having to crawl over the bed to get to it. The remote works great! Just what I wanted.

complete piece of garbage.

Would Not Recommend

u might as well well set fire to a $20 bill. I have tried mine on multiple different outlets with mutiple different things plugged in and i keep gettging the same result. Once you hit the ON button on the remote, everything plugged in will turn on, as will the led indicator light on the outlet. HOWEVER, you can press the OFF button on the remote and it will cause the appliance to "blink" off, then turn back on immediately. The led light goes out but there is still power being supplied to the out...
