The Official Clapper Plus Sound Activated On/Off Switch, 1 Each

I am a lamp person and am not crazy about [actually don't like] overhead lighting so this item I find is perfect for turning on my lamps! My friends and husband make fun saying this is an old peoples item [I think because of the past commercial with the clapping old lady]. I do not clap, I use the remote [they think this is cool but will never admit it]. I have 3 units and the remotes work on all of them. I wish they came with 2 remotes but 1 is sufficient and you can order extras by themselves. Actually, I cannot say enough nice things about this product. It's not for OLD people. It's for people who want to turn things on with a remote instead of fumbling for the on/off switch. [especially the items where the on/off switch is on the cord... what a pain. Not anymore :o) ]Get yourself a unit and you will like it too. If not... send it to me... and I'll use it.. I'm serious. :o)---------VERY VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure you DO NOT overload the unit past the maximum watts. 250watts max for one side, 400 watts max for both sides. It says this ON the unit and in the booklet but they need to STRESS this in bold letters all over the place. Overloading it in anyway will make the fuse blow and it cannot be changed/fixed, you'll know this by the burnt fuse smell and the fear of potential fire (plus it no longer works) :o( . And this in turn will make your unit material for the garbage can. Thus having to learn a lesson and buy a new one and tell everyone you know about the importance of this. Hey, extra remote now. :o/

Sometimes works most times it doesn’t

I'm really into gadgets, I love to add cool options in my house, and this Clapper Plus was especially appealing to me. I already had tried the basic Clapper, but this one had the remote option that was very attractive. In fact, the clapping works great and remote too, but since I bought it for the remote option, I would have appreciate to turn OFF the clapping option. In fact, there is no way to completely turn OFF the clapping function. This gets annoying because I connected some lights and a plasma ball on the two outlets, and they sometime turn ON without any request. Wether setting is on HIGH or LOW, it will turn them ON without request by time to time. If you are intending to buy this item for the remote option, there are others gadgets around that can remotely control different outlets (up to 5), and you don't have the downside of seeing plugged-in appliances activated by random sounds in your house.If you have a very quiet room, and that remote and clapping are necessary, this item might be a perfect buy for you.But if you are installing this item in a room with random noises, and you expect to use the remote function, then look for other options as an Home Indoor Wireless Remote Control Power Outlet Plug.

This works either as a regular Clapper (you know, "clap on, clap off") or as a remote control switch. So, you can turn on up to two lights or appliances by pressing one of the two buttons on the remote control. It's a fairly sophisticated device, hence the hefty price tag. It has adjustable sensitivity if used as a clapper, and even has a vacation feature where it will turn on a light if a noise triggers it. The unit plugs into the wall outlet and up to two lamps or appliances plug into the unit. This is perfect for my older mom, so she does not need to lean out of the bed to shut her bedside lamp after reading. The remote works even with the unit BEHIND the bed - I worried at first that the signal would not reach the unit but there was no problem. It is easy to use and the directions better than most.

After reading the reviews on here about the Clapper and Clapper Plus being a fire hazard, I was definitely concerned. However, I figured I planned on using it just for a lamp, not any high-end, high-voltage devices, so I went for it. I am certainly glad I did. The Clapper Plus does everything it advertises. You cannot beat the wireless remote. We had an original Clapper a while back. When my wife and I would go to bed, one of us would stay up reading longer than the other. Then to turn the light off, you had to clap (fairly loudly) to turn the lights off. This woke the other one up several times. With the Clapper Plus, we simply click (and I say click, but the remote makes NO noise at all) the button and lights are out. WE LOVE OUR Clapper Plus!!!As always, Amazon did a great job of packaging and delivering the product with no problems at all.

The clapper is a nice gadget. It's great for being able to turn the lights on and off from the bed, when you don't want to get up and hit the switch. This unit, however, has been quite a pain. It took a lot of practice to get the clap timing just right to be able to successfully turn it on and off. The remote seems to need to have line of sight, and it rarely ever works. The unit does however turn itself on when the cats are playing near the reciever, or sometimes when the TV is on and it hears something, and even sometimes when we are just talking in the room. There is a sensitivty setting, but you need it sensitve enough to pick up your claps. Overall, it serves its purpose, it just takes some getting used to.

I purchased a couple of these for my Mother, who is disabled and has a difficult time getting around. The nights, for her, are the worst and geting up to shut lights off, especially when tired, was a real strain.This product, and the original Clapper (which I also purchased) were just the perfect solution. This particuliar one (the Clapper Plus) comes with the addition of a remote, so if you don't want to be smacking hands late at night (maybe waking someone), then you can use the remote to control the light function.They really do work well, they do what they say they do and the price (on Amazon) is great! Enjoy! :)
