Cezanne: My headline really says it all. I am very happy with the purchase. The remote control has worked every time I've tried it.

Tom Servo: This is a remote controlled outlet that works, and is intended for outdoor use (although will work fine indoors).
THE GOOD:
+ Remote uses common CR2032 battery (which is included but you will have to remove shipping insulator from battery before using). If you are into computers you probably have spare CR2032s lying around.
+ Has light and button on main unit so you can switch on/off without having the remote.
+ Short plug & cord allows you to NOT BLOCK the other outlet on a duplex outlet (as with other devices that plug directly into outlet).
+ Clearly marked separate ON & OFF buttons prevents confusion and accidentally turning on/off when you didn't mean to (compared to similar devices that only have a single on/off button that toggles operation).
+ Main device can be hung on a screw/nail to help keep it upright (which helps with preventing ingress of water)
THE BAD:
- Unfortunately the outlet turns off after a power failure (or being unplugged). If you want the attached device to be powered after a power failure without using the button or remote this will not be useful for you. Unfortunately I wanted to use this for this situation so this device...

My_REVIEWS-123: I wanted to use this device to remotely turn on/off my shop vac (when using the shop vac in conjunction with cordless power tools to capture the sawdust). This works fine for my application. I use this indoors only.

I never liked the power-tool auto-shop-vac switches where both the shop vac (needing 15 amps) and the corded power tool whose dust is being sucked up (which also wants 15 amps) are connected to same 15 amp outlet. This gizmo solves that problem too b/c I plug in the shop vac into the remotely controlled switch which plugs into its own wall-switch/dedicated-circuit and I plug in a corded power tool into a different15 amp circuit/switch. Problem solved.
