Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This isn't a reflection on Amazon, or Target where I purchased this product.I bought 2 sets at the end of 2008.Each package had a non-functioning receiver.I put the two defects in one package and returned it.The set I kept and used worked to specification until a few months ago.The transmitter 1 On button (most used button, for bedroom floor lamp) began to fail, requiring several presses to operate and today it quit working entirely.I'd already researched Woods Wire/Coleman Cable and realized I wasn't going to get far with any warranty request.I disassembled the remote and confirmed a bad switch with a multimeter.I opened the defective switch (destructive, no reassembling it) and observed some material transfer from the center contact to the switch 'dome' contact that may have been preventing current flow.I unsoldered the switch and replaced it with a switch from an answering machine keypad.It worked better than new because the replacement switch was better quality to start with.Two other switches on the remote were intermittently displaying a weak LED, they were failing also.I replaced all six switches and the remote works better than new, the crisp click of the replacement switches provides better tactile feedback and they work every time.I understand mass production and low cost products to meet competitive price points but it's unfortunate that the manufacturer didn't spend another 50 cents and assemble a reliable product that could last more than a year.Perhaps the newest units are 'upgraded' and my experience is not typical.From a use perspective, I love having a single remote on my nightstand to control 2 lamps and the rear surround wireless receiver for a Samsung theater without getting up.From a quality/durability perspective, you may want to look for competitive products.
