Product Reviews of The Clapper Plus Sound Activated On/Off Switch, 1 Each

Product Review: Don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars

I ordered the "Clapper Plus" for my 10 year old daughter for Christmas. It was the only gift she asked for, so despite reservations because of the negative reviews I had read, I ordered it anyway. What a waste of money! She can clap all day and it only occasionnaly works. And the remote control that was supposed to come with it was missing from the box. Save your money.

Product Review: Fun & works pretty well
Summary: 4 Stars

Okay. Granted. This is a bit of a novelty item. In fact, when I bought mine at Walgreen's, the cashier asked me, "Do you really need a clapper?" I told her that I didn't, but that I wanted it just for fun. And it's fun!

What's even better is that it actually works. Sure, its got some sensitivity issues. But I don't know how they can avoid that. The fact that it is operated by noise makes interference possible. So it's better in a bedroom or quieter room. But there is a sensitity setting so you can adjust it which may eliminate or lessen the problems.

We put it in our bedroom - connected to a couple of lamps. It works GREAT and the little remote is a handy bonus.

Don't expect the Clapper to solve all of your problems, but this little gadget can probably make your life easier... and it will definitely make it more fun!

Product Review: Good for switching units that are difficult to reach
Summary: 5 Stars

If you have a light switch (or other light appliance switch) that's hard to reach, this device will solve the problem.
In my case, I installed a small fluorescent lamp at the ceiling of my cabin next to a wall, ran its power cord through the wall into the adjoining shed, and plugged it into a receptacle there. But the switch was a bit too high up to be convenient, and I didn't want to install a pull-chain switch.
I bought a "Clapper Plus" and plugged it into the receptacle in the shed, then plugged the light into it. Now, I can turn on the light by tapping the wall, or by pressing the button on the included RF remote control. The Clapper itself is on the other side of the cabin wall, so everything looks neat and uncluttered in the cabin.

Product Review: Good, but need more improvement!!!!
Summary: 3 Stars

Great idea, but need little improvement. I brought the clapper plus straight from the Sharper Image store in the mall for 29.99.

Pros:
The great thing about this product is the convenience of clapping can help turn things on or off from a distance. It have two outlet, the first outlet can be turn on/off by clapping twice and the third outlet can be turn on/off by clapping three times. It also comes with a great remote, which can receive signal through walls.

Cons:
My trouble with the clapper plus is the correct timing clapping needed to turn the switch on. In order to turn the switch on by clapping, the claps need to be clear and timing. Exact seconds are needed in order for the switch to turn on/off. I have problems clapping to turn the switch on; making my hand hurt/red (It's difficult at first)

Another problem can be where to use the clapper plus. I once putted the clapper plus in the living room, sometime the noise from the TV turn the product on and sometime the voices from talking can also turn it on. My only place to put it is in my bedroom where it quiet. (It work great in quiet small rooms)

Besides the sensitivity and location to put the clapper plus, overall it can do its' job just need little patience.

For the price:
It's little pricy for something that does not always work when clapping, but all matter is the uniqueness that it brings. Good for impressing the girls, but make sure you know how to clap right.
