Customer Reviews of The Clapper Plus Sound Activated On/Off Switch, 1 Each
Customer Review: Clapper Plus ROCKS!
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading the reviews on here about the Clapper and Clapper Plus being a fire hazard, I was definitely concerned. However, I figured I planned on using it just for a lamp, not any high-end, high-voltage devices, so I went for it. I am certainly glad I did. The Clapper Plus does everything it advertises. You cannot beat the wireless remote. We had an original Clapper a while back. When my wife and I would go to bed, one of us would stay up reading longer than the other. Then to turn the light off, you had to clap (fairly loudly) to turn the lights off. This woke the other one up several times. With the Clapper Plus, we simply click (and I say click, but the remote makes NO noise at all) the button and lights are out. WE LOVE OUR Clapper Plus!!!
As always, Amazon did a great job of packaging and delivering the product with no problems at all.
Customer 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!
Customer 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.

Customer Review: Not worth the money
Summary: 2 Stars
I have both the Clapper and the Clapper Plus. I bought mine for $29.99 from the sharper image.
What I liked: The only thing I liked about the Clapper Plus is that it comes with a remote. Very handy for when I read or watch TV at night and I just don't want to get up to turn off the lights.
What I don't like: Like the Clapper, it is sometimes too sensitive to sound and turns off and on when unwanted. I can clap on and clap off my original Clapper just fine, but the Clapper Plus has a problem with the sound activation. This becomes a real problem when I cannot find the remote. For some reason, it keeps giving me the error light (when the 2 red light blinks at the same time).
Suggestion: I recently found many wireless switches selling for as low as $15, and I think that's a better bet.
Customer Review: Works Beautifully, Perfect for Older Persons or Physically Challenged
Summary: 5 Stars
This works either as a regular Clapper (you know, "clap on, clap off") or as a remote control switch. So, you can turn on up to two lights or appliances by pressing one of the two buttons on the remote control. It's a fairly sophisticated device, hence the hefty price tag. It has adjustable sensitivity if used as a clapper, and even has a vacation feature where it will turn on a light if a noise triggers it. The unit plugs into the wall outlet and up to two lamps or appliances plug into the unit. This is perfect for my older mom, so she does not need to lean out of the bed to shut her bedside lamp after reading. The remote works even with the unit BEHIND the bed - I worried at first that the signal would not reach the unit but there was no problem. It is easy to use and the directions better than most.
