Edit: Their customer service reached out to me and sent me a new remote to try. When that didn’t help, they offered to send me a new unit or give me a refund. They also said that my problems could be environmental, i.e. interference from the surroundings. For these reasons I am changing my rating from a 2 to a 4.
***************************
The remote range on mine are hilariously bad. For starters, the remote did not have a battery. After installing a battery (Sony CR2032) and testing it, I installed it with my dust collector in my garage. I clicked the remote from 10 ft away; nothing. 5 ft; nothing. I had to hold the remote less than a foot away to get it to activate! I figured, maybe I got a bad battery. Got another new one out of the packaging and had basically the same result. After some experimenting, I found that if I had direct line of sight, I could activate it from a maximum of about 6 ft. This is a far cry from "up to 100 ft range in open areas, line of sight not required." I am unfortunately outside of the return date range otherwise this would be going back. It gets 2 stars because it technically did turn on and not catch anything on fire.
To me, the concept of a remote is that you should be able to control something remotely. At first I couldn't get them to work at all with the supplied battery. After finding another battery in my supply, and re-progamming all three remotes, they worked from within about 20 feet direct sight, but no further. From outside, through one window, but direct shot visually from 30 feet, nothing. So I figured maybe my battery was old, so went to store and got a brand new one. No better. These work fine from across the room, but otherwise not very good. The other one I have (different brand) works much better. Returning this one. Frustrating, since the reviews seem pretty good. But no luck for me and an hour wasted trying to get them to work.
UPDATE: change to 4 Stars. Dewenwils contacted me after my review, and sent me a new remote (two actually) which work much better. I tested the range after programming the receivers (easy) and the one I tested was able to control all three receivers from as far as 125 feet. That's much better, and good customer service.
Just what I needed! I especially love that there are 3 Separate Power Strips, but all 3 are controlled on the Same Remote!! Excellent Range, so you don’t have to move much, if at all to turn your lights or whichever electrical device you have plugged into them!
Just a helpful tip: I hung the remote on one of those small wall hook stickers near my standard exterior light switch, so I never forget to turn them on or off!!
The ability to remotely turn on the power to my electric tools is very convenient.
Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. The remote interferes with our tv signal. Otherwise they’re good.

I bought this to control all my Christmas lighting. Works great. No more hassle to plug and unplug the lights.
Love our remote control power outlet. Put to use right away. No issues.
Like that I can turn lights outside lights on with remote inside my house. I hooked up my spot lights to my yard to let dogs out.
We had floor outlets put in and they are to deep for our other remote control plugs. These worked just great.
Works as described, very satisfied with purchase.
