I purchased this for my mother who has very poor dexterity due to arthritis. She is able to clap – although a bit weakly so. Nevertheless, she can now control her room light instead of waiting for us to come by and adjust her lighting for her.Some days, as we were working or running errands, she would have to patiently wait for us to turn her lamp on or off. Now she has a little more control.If there was anything that could be changed, I wish I could adjust the sensitivity of the clap sound. At her weakened state, her claps are soft and are not always detected by the device. We moved the clapper up to her night stand and secured it safely to the side by bringing up a heavy duty extension cord through the table, yet out of the way. This makes it physically close to her. So far so good.

This is a great product idea, we have it at the bottom of the stairs on a lamp where there is no switch in the basement. Makes it much safer to walk halfway down the stairs and clap to click on a lamp. It can be set for 2 or 3 claps. The only thing that may be hard for some is you have to clap rather loud. Other then that I definitely would recommend this.

I bought this as a gag gift for my husband. We were talking one night about the old commercial. I thought it was hilarious since we use Alexa for bedroom lights, etc. He loved it for a couple of weeks. It doesn’t always respond, but worked as it was intended, as a gag gift.

Got this for a hubby as a Birthday gift. It worked wonderfully for a few weeks then started randomly turning on and off in the middle of the night. I had to unplug it. So disappointed. You would think after all these years they would have figured out how to make this thing work better. When it works it is more fun than talking to a computer to turn on and off the lights. Plus with Vader’s voice it was even more fun. oh well, we did enjoy it while it lasted so I am being generous with the 3 stars.

I bought this item to help turn off the light’s before we go to bed plus I always wanted one when they first came off the market many years ago..lol..it was simple to use and you plug in the item or items u want to clap on or off and it’s that simple. Definitely a must buy if you like the freedom of not getting up to turn on the light at night

Call me old fashioned, but ever since seeing Austin Powers as a child I wanted a fireplace that turns on with two claps. I finally have that for my gas fireplace and I LOVE it. Absolutely would recommend. Now I don’t have to battle with Alexa to turn the fireplace on.

I’m not in to “Alexa”! I kept telling my husband I needed a “ clapper”. He surprised me. Works like a charm. I have it plugged into my night table lamp. I either clap or knock on my nightstand to turn it on or off and don’t need to stretch for the lamp switch. What’s old is new again! LOL

This works well but it will also turn on and off unintentionally. Any kind of knocking twice or thumps will turn this device on and off. Other than that it is awesome.

It works!
Works as described! The only very minor thing is you have to practice timing between claps although I quickly.learned.
