Great product best in my review

We have this plugged into our lamp in the bedroom. It is so nice to not have to get up or move at all to turn the lamp on and off. Highly recommend this product

Pros
  • Can be used in any room of the house, making it a versatile addition to your smart home system
Cons
  • The switch may not work well in homes with background noise from washing machines or dishwashers

nice but tricky on my review.

I really like it but it is stubborn. Sometimes you have to clap two or three times for it to "work". Other times it is just fine on the first clap.

Pros
  • Provides ultimate convenience by eliminating the need to physically turn on/off switches
Cons
  • The switch may not work well if your hands are wet or sweaty

It works but… on my review.

It works but…Sometimes you have to repeat the clapping two or three times if it’s not done just so. However it beats getting up and out of bed.

Pros
  • Durable construction ensures long-lasting use
Cons
  • The device may not work well in homes with open windows or doors

Just a plug no box or instructions!

This arrived without a box, just a plug. Using this as a gag gift, it's not nearly as funny if you have examine why you're getting a plug. How is it programed? Without a box or instructions to follow, who knows!

Pros
  • {}
Cons
  • The switch may not work well in homes with frequent power outages

Must get the timing correct or it doesn't work.

I was tired of getting out of bed to turn off the lamp on my dresser. The Clapper was very easy to install--just set it to 2 claps and plug it in the wall outlet. Because it can be set to 2 or 3 claps, the rhythm must be correct or it doesn't operate. There's 3 red lights on the front and I can see whether it registers as 2 consecutive claps OR 1 clap, empty space, 1 clap. Some days I'm lucky, but most, I find myself doing several sessions trying to get it to turn off the lamp. Once or twice I…

Pros
  • Great for people who have mobility issues or a disability
Cons
  • The switch may not work well in homes with pets that bark or meow frequently

Not for me in my review

I didn't realize they don't have the "ground hole" or the 3rd hole for the connectors that have that 3rd pin. I happened to need the two outlets for devices that have that type of connector and having to buy the adapter on top of the almost $30 that this thing costs., it's just too much. This device should be worth about $10. I had to send it back, unfortunately!

Pros
  • Can be used to create customized schedules, allowing you to automate your home
Cons
  • The device may not work well in homes with multiple switches close to each other

Misleading product description.

The product is described TWICE as "made in the USA". First, in the short description and again in the features and benefits. Deep in the product page is a details section where it is disclosed as made in china. .Of COURSE it is made in china.as stated on the box.revain, make the country of origin a searchable parameter for filtering your crappy search results!

Pros
  • Reduces the risk of electrical fires caused by appliances left on when unattended
Cons
  • The switch may require frequent clapping, causing fatigue

clap on clap off - my new review

Really does work as advertised, even if you are not the one making the clap on/clap off noise :-) (my upstairs neighbor can accidentally turn it on or off by dropping something on the floor and it bounces).

Pros
  • Optimizes the use of electronics and appliances, promoting sustainability and environmental consciousness
Cons
  • The switch may not work well if the room is too quiet

Convenient best in my review

We have this for a bedside lamp. With adjustable bed this works great. Need to have it in an open area or it does not work as well.

Pros
  • HOME/AWAY SETTING: Adjust for softer or louder claps. In AWAY setting, connected appliances will turn on with the detection of any sound.
Cons
  • The switch may not work well in homes with pets that make loud noises

Fun gadget grandma couldn't clap to use

My five year old granddaughter loved it to operate her pink led trees that had no on off switch. It worked great until her brother plugged the vacuum into the clapped and blew it. Since he didn't use the closest outlet I can only summize he was going to see if the clapped would turn on the vacuum . no it will not.

Pros
  • Helps save energy by automatically powering off electronics when they’re not in use
Cons
  • The sound activated feature may accidentally activate if you're listening to loud music or watching a loud movie

Bob is very sensitive.

Often, random noises like the dog scratching would activate (expected), but you have to clap loudly and sometimes repeatedly to activate on purpose (annoying).

Pros
  • Perfect for people who forget to turn off appliances before leaving the house
Cons
  • The switch may not work well if there's a lot of ambient noise in the home

Happy they still make these

My daughter didn’t believe me when I said there’s a device that turns the lights on by clapping. Purchased this as one of her birthday presents and now there’s nothing but clapping in the hallway all day…great purchase.

Pros
  • Provides added convenience and promotes a more relaxing and stress-free lifestyle
Cons
  • The switch may not work well in homes with multiple people talking or making noise simultaneously

Lights out! for my opinion

My wife applies lotion to her hands before bedtime and that makes it difficult for her to turn off her bedside light. The Clapper makes it a snap, or rather, a clap!

Pros
  • Comes with a one-year warranty for peace of mind
Cons
  • The sound activated feature may cause accidental activations due to other noises in the home

I love this best in my review

Husband sleeps with a damm fan on. Sometimes he will get cold but it's a pain to get of bed and go shut fan off. He can just clap it off and go back to sleep

Pros
  • works as it is supposed to
Cons
  • There was no remote, loud clapping noise to activate, too hard

Disappointing on my review.

I bought this for my 87 year old grandmother. She has a reading light that she use to use Alexa to turn it on. She got rid of the internet because $135 to turn on a light a month was silly. So I got her the Clapper. It worked great for me but my grandmother’s clap was not loud enough to register. Probably not the clappers fault but if you don’t have a strong clap I don’t recommend. If you do it works awesome and is easy to install.

Pros
  • It registers claps almost all the time and is simple to set up.
Cons
  • The switch may be unsuited for individuals with hearing aids or cochlear implants

Makes my laziness even lazier

Didn’t like having to reach up to turn off my bed table lamp, so I bought this to try. Its terrible at recognizing claps, but great at recognizing knocks. So I just knock on my nightstand and it works every time.

Pros
  • WIRELESS WALL SWITCH: Simplify your life with the easy to use smart home wall switch. No more fumbling through the darkness looking for your light switch. Each package contains 1 Clapper switch.
Cons
  • The switch may not work well in rooms with high ceilings

We now have two - my new review

This is our second clapper. The first we moved to a different location. No issues with this one but the older one you have to be up close to it for it to acknowledge the claps. So I think I’ll be buying a 3rd to replace the first which btw we’ve had for years and we have it placed outside to turn on tea lights around the decking (plus is just in an out of the way sept and the clapper works). So it’s really done it’s job.

Pros
  • Does exactly what it is supposed to do however it hurts.
Cons
  • The clapping noise required to activate the switch can be disruptive

This was a perfect solution.

My mom couldn't find her lamp in the dark so reaching with her hand usually ended up knocking it over. She is so happy to just clap and the lamp comes on. Surprised they still made the clapper and so happy I was able to find a solution for my mom.

Pros
  • Provides added security by allowing you to turn on lights when you’re away from home
Cons
  • The device may not work well in homes with high levels of outdoor noise

Don’t buy it for your bedroom!

These things are ok when they work. But they often do not work. They will turn on when you set a cup down or close a drawer. You can change the sensitivity but it makes no difference. Do not put this in your bedroom. It will turn on at random times if you snore or turn over too loudly.

Pros
  • Stylish and practical gift for homeowners or people with busy schedules
Cons
  • The device may not work well in homes with other sound-activated devices

This is adorable but too sensitive.

I got this for my son who is immobile so he could turn his light on whenever he needs or wants to without having to wait for someone else to come do it for him. I had the clapper with two outlets and really liked it a lot. But. My other son plugged the vacuum cleaner into it and that was the end of that clapper. So I tried to order another one and it had more than doubled in price so I went with this Mandolorian one. It is adorable and has a night light and cute sayings but only one outlet. And

Pros
  • This was a gift for a friend who loves to read. Made it easy for them.
Cons
  • The device may not work well in homes with seniors who have hearing problems
