Review: Clap on clap off... So cool - Way cool, I remember adds for this year's ago, never thought I would have one. There are two separate channels for two separate plugs. Two claps for one amd three for the other. Very nice when you cannot get to the cord to turn off a floor lamp. One little problem is that whenever there is a series of two sounds there is a chance the unit will turn on or off. For example i had it on and my kid closed a two door cabinet in the kitchen first one then the other and the light turned off... Nothing major though. The hardiness far outweighs that problem.
Review: Works great - Why did you pick this product vs others?: I wanted to get this because I hate to get out of bed to turn my lamp off each night. It took an extra day or two to get here, and when I got it wasn't in a box. Just a clear plastic bag. But, that's fine, after reading on here, how to set it up no problem. It has two areas to use; one plug-in area uses claps 2 times, and the other 3 times. Once I knew which one I had plugged my lamp into (3 claps), I made sure the lamp was turned on and then practiced clapping, Yeah! Works great!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works/partially
*by R***K on August 29, 2025*

I've had this for well over a year and it is still working but the bottom port doesn't work anymore, it used to though. The remote is great when I don't feel like clapping and sometimes when it doesn't take my clapping input. Also turns on if I laugh just right or my cat knocks something over. But I love the fact that I don't have to get up to turn my light off.
