The Clapper Sound Activated On/Off Switch, 1 Each

Customer Reviews

It works for my 9-year old son

2008-08-10
It does what it is supposed to do - and, my son even sometimes plays with it like it's a video game. The clapper allows him to easily turn his light off from the top bunk of his bunk bed. It doesn't get 5 stars because it takes a try or two to activate the two lights connected (one controlled by two claps and the other by three). There's no TV in his bedroom but people talking never turn a light on or off (there are sensitivity settings if you would like this to happen)... UNLESS there is something parked in front (I suppose an echo can confuse it).

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:)

Clappin' away

I received a mini chandelier as a bridal shower gift and after putting it up, it occured to me that the clapper might be the perfect thing. The chandelier is across the room from the bed in the corner and so we would have to get out of bed to turn it off or turn it off before we got in bed. Well, we got the clapper and it is perfect for what we need it for though i have to say, each night my fiance and I go through a clapping spell to get the light off. It is good for a laugh though and we eventually get it off. Practice makes perfect!

Clapper

My son used the Clapper to give a presentation. It worked right up until the time he needed it and it wouldn't come on. It ruined his presentation that he was giving at work. He wanted to be able to clap his hands and have a lamp come on. It was embarrassing for him.

I like!

I'm using my clapper to turn on/off the torch lamp in my bedroom, and so far, it's working as it should be. If you're using it for an appliance other than a lamp, I suggest you read other reviews. If you plan to use it for a lamp, I say it works as it should be.

was neat

The sound activated on and off switch. The Clapper can control one or two appliances at the same time, 2 claps for the first appliance and 3 claps for the second. Set the dial to home or away. A sound sensitivity dial adjusts for softer or louder claps.

Do NOT buy this product. After less than one month of usage, it shorted-out and is no longer working. It is a serious fire hazard.

DANGER! Fire Hazard

I got one as a gift for my daughter. It worked ok for four months. Then, it started to arc and smoke. My daughters were in the room, and noticed the lamp started to blink and dim a few seconds before the arcing began. When smoke emerged from the unit, my daughter yanked it from the wall, probably averting a fire.

Several other reviews mention this same problem. I intend to report this to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Good product

My room has no light switch, no idea what developer decided that one. So I had to stumble across a darkened room to find the lamp. Now I can just clap on clap off. It also has a nice feature of being able to switch on 2 appliances one with 2 claps the other with 3. Had a small problem at the start that it would turn on and off by itself, but I just turned down the sensitivity (small switch on the side) and its now fine.

I love my clapper...

This is definitely one of those 80's items that everyone was always curious about. After much procrastination, i finally broke down and bought one. Why did i ever wait sdoo long!!! This is a great item, very easy to use. Great for house holds with elderly family or children. I have young children that were afraid of going to the bathroom at night, even with a house full of night lights. I hooked my clappers up to the lamps and my problems were solved. Now they can clap as they walk through the halls. Try one yourself, you'll be hooked!
