Tools and Hardware Reviews of Ontel HANDYS-CD6 Wireless Light Switch
Customer Review: Great idea, but incredibly unreliable.
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought one of these to control a halogen lamp in my apartment. For about a week it worked like a charm. Then all of a sudden it stopped working. I exchanged it for a new unit, since I figured that one was a defective singularity. My second unit stopped working after a couple of days.
Not learning from my mistakes, I exchanged it for a third unit, since when functional this product is phenomenal. (all three came from different stores of the same chain) Well, my third unit broke after about 30 minutes. If someone comes up with a reliable one of these, I'll buy it in a heartbeat, otherwise, don't waist your money.
Customer Review: Because a dresser makes a great nightstand and The Clapper is just plain silly.
Summary: 5 Stars
Cathy and I keep our clothes in a pair of tall dressers which double as our nightstands. The bedside lamps are at the ideal height for lighting up the bedroom and for in-bed reading. The downside: When Morpheus beckons you into the Land of Nod, you have to haul yourself halfway out of bed to turn off the lamp, breaking the spell.
The Clapper might be fine for solo sleepers but I don't think my better half would appreciate a burst of applause after she's drifted off. When we found these on the As Seen On TV rack at a nearby store, we took the plunge, Billy Mays notwithstanding.
With the switch-shaped transmitter attached to the side of the dresser at pillow height, the Handy Switch does what it promises, and the receiver is a helpful, if brilliant, nightlight and power indicator. Since it uses the same miniature 12-volt battery as our doorbell button and garage door opener transmitters, maintenance is no-brainer simple.

Customer Review: great concept if it worked
Summary: 1 Stars
i ordered 2 for my kids so they could turn on their own lights. one didn't work at all when i received it so i bought a new battery (a specialty one at that) and still nothing. the other worked for about a week then completely stopped working. i would love this product if it actually worked!!!!! i did get a refund, but would have been much happier if the product did what it should have.
