Good price, but I was let down (I have pictures of the unit taken apart)
Here is the TLDR summary: CON: Internal circuitry of the plugs is very cheap and will fail! Plugs get hot (on back side) after 20 minutes of being plugged into the wall! Plugs are too large! PRO: Customer service is very kind and responsive (I initially did not want to write this review) The biggest *FLAW* in my option is the circuit within the receiver/plug. You will notice if you turn the receiver/plug on or off you will here a "tick" sound. The reason for that is a physical *RELAY*. Why go with a relay these days? Why not use a couple transistors? Most people will think at this point, "wow this guy is exaggerating" but I mention this because *every relay fails at some point* (just ask an old school car mechanic or think about an old fashioned door bell!) thus setting this product up for failure over a relatively short period of time. A life of a transistor is probably 1000 times longer (maybe even higher). Second *FLAW*, the receiver plugs get hot. At first I thought it was just the one plug I initially tested, but all three got hot on the back side (where the silver label sticker is located) of the plug. As a test I connected a power strip and downstream from the power strip was a laptop charger. I did not even try plugging in more devices, I was worried enough at this point. Third *FLAW* is the size of the plugs. They are too large in my opinion and could be a lot smaller if better circuitry was used.
