 Okay, but not for all situations July 25, 2010

Pros:
- inexpensive
- simple to install
Cons:
- almost requires line of sight
- very picky about location
- not a real switch
- only about a 12-15ft range in my experience
After seeing mostly negative reviews about every brand of wireless switches/transmitters, I decided to give this one a try because it was cheap. It works...mostly. It is very picky about location. Putting it next to as opposed to on top of molding or orienting it horizontally vs vertical makes the difference between working and not working. Basically you need line of sight which you really shouldn't need in a product like this that is not IR. I am not crazy about the button either. It is really two buttons with rocker switch as opposed to a regular light switch. The range was about 12-15 feet if you didn't have any doorways or molding in the way. It is an inexpensive fix if you a short jump you need to bridge. Otherwise don't expect too much.
Does not work well July 21, 2010
MWG (New York, NY USA)
I purchased this item in December 2009. It looks great. I mounted the wall switch, but the problem is that it is not responsive. I need to press the rocker switch multiple times for it to turn on/off the lamp. It is very temperamental. When I called the manufacturer The NCC (it's not Stanley since only the name is licensed) they told me to try replacing the battery. The Duracell battery I bought cost half of what I paid for the product, but even with a fresh battery, the light switch (remote) is still unresponsive. It works when it wants to. I called the 800# stamped on the unit again this week, but cannot get a person on the phone. I submitted an inquiry through [...], but I have not received a reply. This item is not worth buying.
 Disappointed- doesn't work at all June 14, 2010

I am very disappointed with this product. Turning the switch on/off was very difficult. Price is reasonable, but what good it is for if the product itself doesn't work.
I found the range of reception to be very poor as well.
Won't recommend.
 Wireless Wall Switcj April 19, 2010
Michaelene Keegan (Agoura Hills, CA United States)
Cost is so fantastic. The Wireless switch is also fantastic. In fact I will buy another one. I recommend this to anyone. The price is great as I stated and works like a charm. You plug it in the wall and plug in your light or whatever you want to use it for and that's it.
 It works. April 12, 2010

Of course the main point is - the remote switch works perfectly for me.
Two downsides:
1) The outlet is on the receiver's side - I couldn't plug the cord from my table lamp into it and had to use an extension cord.
2) The switch is trying to follow the decora line, but frankly it's quite ugly. I would't put it on the same wall with the real decora.
