Customer Reviews of The Clapper Sound Activated On/Off Switch, 1 Each
Customer Review: Major fire hazard
Summary: 1 Stars
After owning it for a few months, the clapper died today. As I clapped I heard characteristic buzzing noise of electronic item being shortcircuited, and to my horror when I looked at the clapper it was flashing bright yellow from the inside, it was actually on fire inside and smoking really bad. I unplugged it immediately. I'm glad I was there because this thing was actually on fire (don't they have a fuse or something to prevent this?), and it could have burned down my house. And for the record, all I used with it was a 100W lamp.
It's a fun and convenient little object, but after seeing the fireworks today, I would never ever recommend it to anyone. Moreover, I'd actually recommend you stop using it immediately, unless you think $15 toy is worth risking your whole house, and maybe lives of those who live there. This thing is a disaster waiting to happen. Consider yourself warned.
Customer Review: Please People, Do not be Ignorant
Summary: 5 Stars
I know you people like to gab gab and gab about how sensitive it is. But the truth is you people are lazy and ignorant on how to use it. Also I will ask, why did you buy it if everyone doesnt like it. I bought one myself, and i will say it was sensitive at first, but you learn how to use it effeciently. Get off your couch, turn on the light and sit back down if you dont want the clapper. Maybe it will give you more time for the daily soap opera and popcorn. And whoever said it was a waste of electricity and that it will significantly raise your bill ... well i dont even have to say it. I really like the clapper and it has lasted me 4 years. Also I praise the people who actually know how to set the sensitivity and also being able to do the simple task of setting a dial to home or away. Thanks! I cannot register to my account because i have some diffuculties, but i am not a child. lol.Customer Review: It works; It's not perfect

I use my clapper to control a floor lamp with a compact fluorescent bulb. Contrary to what some other people have reported:
1) It does work with fluorescent bulbs. At least with my bulbs.
2) It doesn't turn on/off often or unpredictably.
It does have a few drawbacks. First, sometimes I don't successfully clap it on or off on the first try. Trying again usually works. Also, some sharp repetitive noises set it off. When I had a cold, my coughing would turn the lights off, which was funny and only occasionally inconvenient.
If you are close to the clapper case, you can actually tap lightly on the case instead of clapping. In my room, this works very well for me.
So, it's useful. It has limitations. If are good at reading directions & you don't cough too much, this may be a good gadget for you.
Customer Review: Decent product, happy present.

My sister bought this as a joke for me for my birthday because I kept saying I want a clapper so I dont have to get out of bed and turn the light on. My room is set up with no light fixtures and my bed lamp is in a wierd stop, so it was a pain turning it on and off. I also live alone at home and get scared walking into a dark room, silly paranoia! Anyways the clapper is decent but I think that the spot that its in doesnt always get the sound right. Sometimes you have to clap 3 or 4 times to get the thing on, I just read a review where you can speak and I think im gonna change to that option, it might work better by just saying OFF and ON. I love this product for letting me go into my room and not finding a stranger in there waiting. It was a great present and I would recommend it to anyone who doesnt want to get out of bed to turn on the lights:)Customer Review: I enjoy it.
Summary: 4 Stars
I know that a lot of people hate the over sensitvity and gripe gripe gripe about how bad the product is. However, I overly enjoy it occasionaly the light will go off or not turn on imediatly but I have learned to clap correctly and accuratly to get it to work. It helps because I enjoy being in my bed and then turing of the light at the other end of the room. But if I want a light on I usualy turn on my overhead light which uses a switch. Even better..when my hands are full with books and crap for school I can go Turn Off steadily and pretty loud and turn off the light without using any hands...that is helpful. If you are willing to get used to it with clapping patterns etc. then give it a shot it will help a lot. If you are one of those people who is easily annoyed with stuff like this..DONT EVEN TRY! I recommend this item..because I LOVE it!
