works well, but uses an unusual battery
Overall it works very well. I have it set up behind a cabinet and the remote has no trouble turning it on and off even though it's out of sight. My only small complaint is that it uses a size 23A 12V battery which is something that I don't typically have lying around the house. When the first one died I ordered some more, and they were cheap, only about a dollar each, but I wonder why they couldn't have used a more common type of battery. But otherwise I'm totally happy with it and recommend it.

Very Good Product
Second one I purchased. The first died (20 years) after a lightning storm but all equipment was fine.

Very handy
I bought this energy-saving outlet for one specific purpose - my flatiron. As you may guess, I did not do this because I was concerned so much with saving energy (though that's nice too), but rather was concerned with safety. Although I quite like my flatiron, it is not one of those that has a timed off setting, which means I can accidentally leave it on (and have done so twice). Even when I haven't left it on, sometimes I can't remember if I've turned it off, which means that I usually end up turning my car around and running up to my apartment to check, which is frustrating and is almost always a waste of time. This gadget has saved me that misery. I now have it constantly set to the 30 minute setting. Since I have long hair, it usually take me around 20 to 25 minutes to flatiron my hair, which means that even if I do happen to leave my flatiron on, within five to ten minutes of finishing my hair, this Belkin device will cut the power. Fabulous! This gives me peace of mind. Why don't I just get into the habit of unplugging my iron every time? No real answer, I just can't seem to get into the habit. This device is ridiculously easy. There is a switch on the side where you can set it to 30 minutes, 3 hours, or 6 hours, depending on how long you want whatever is plugged in to receive electricity. Then there is a button on the top that you press to activate the charging time and the button glows green to let you know it's on. Until you do this, whatever you've plugged in will not charge or power on. There are a couple minor downsides. This is pretty bulky, so expect it to take up the majority of your outlet. I have to unplug it to plug anything else in the other outlet. Annoying, but certainly not a deal-breaker; after all, you'd imagine that something like this would have to be somewhat bulky. Second, the green light on top is very faint and I usually have use my hand to shade the button to see whether it's on or off. This could be a good or bad thing depending on where you plan on using this. If you're using it someplace you plan on sleeping, you may like this feature. In the age of DVRs, computers, external hard drives, etc. that always seem to emit some sort of light, even when not being used, sometimes it's nice not to have another glowing object in the room. Overall, excellent product that works well and is priced fairly.

Brilliant device with minor caveats and not enough options
Why is this discontinued? It seems a real shame. I am one of those weirdoes who does not want to overcharge electronic devices. I generally charge my phone before it hits 30-40%, and I stop charging before it his 100%. Actually, I usually stop it at 80%. This is all in my strange quest to preserve battery life. The main thing is that I don't like to drain the battery all the way (I do this once a month if I want to calibrate the meter, but that's it), and I don't like to have it keep charging once it's at 100%. Once a device is full, it "trickle charges" to avoid overcharging, meaning it is allowed to dissipate some charge, then refill, over and over. My phone used to do this all night long. Big deal? No, but I'd like to avoid it. Well, this device can help me avoid it. I generally just set it for 3 hours, plug in all my stuff that is at half or less battery, and leave it. After 3 hours, it shuts off, so nothing is trickle charging, at least not for two long. Unfortunately, unless my phone is totally empty, it doesn't really even take 3 hours to fully charge. So, I'd personally like more options. 30 minutes isn't long enough, but 3 hours is too long, in other words. Truthfully, you probably don't care about any of this. You probably just want to plug something in but not have it keep draining power after a certain amount of time. If 30 minutes, 3 hours or 6 hours will suit you, you should do fine with this. So, I love this. I think it's a brilliant idea that should continue to be sold. The caveats: How about a timer rather than only being able to choose from 3 settings? Bright LED might annoy you (it tells you whether it's on or off, but I put electrical tape of it, as it annoys me when trying to sleep) For what it does, it's sort of expensive (but I am no expert in this kind of stuff, so I don't know what it costs to make) It seems high-quality and works really well. I wish there were more variety in this type of product, but maybe my particular need is not a widespread enough one for anyone to care.

Works well, but there is a dangerous flaw
I've had this for two years now and it worked well. I bought it to use with our steamer because we left it on once and all the water burned off. Fire hazard. The other night, my wife noticed that the green light on the Belkin box was on when it should have been off. The device was too hot to touch and there was a burning smell. We think that the on/off button was held down because it was stuck behind a cabinet. It seems like when you hold the button down, it gets stuck on and does not shut off according to the timer. Also, it seems to get very hot it this state. If we had the steamer turned on it would be a double whammy. Might want to test yours to see if it gets hot when the power button is held down. It would be ironic if the thing we bought to prevent fire actually caused a fire!

At least one critical failure-point.
Three stars - It's ok, until it's not. This series by Belkin is a bit upscale in appearance than products competing in this space making them a bit more countertop friendly. While it was working this was very convenient and easy-to-use. I've had one of these for a while but never really used it much. I started using it regularly in the kitchen this spring, and it recently failed. It's past the Belkin warranty period so I opened it up to see if I could troubleshoot. The trouble is that the top button is plastic-welded onto the casing and relies on the flexibility of the plastic itself to "spring" back into position once pressed. In my case, the plastic has bent ever so slightly out of position (I don't know how) and the top button will no longer engage the internal mechanism, rendering the whole thing non-functional. So while in theory it should be above-average for what it is, in practice it failed in regular use. Hence the poor rating.

Great idea but faulty product
I bought this for my home aquarium. I have certain appliances for it I need to turn off regularly for maintenance and wanted to stop pulling the plugs from my power bar. This worked great for me for the first few weeks, but it suddenly started to randomly turn off the power outlets that were on the switch. At first I thought the remote was stuck so I made sure it was in a neutral position. It turned off again, so I thought maybe the remote was Faulty and I took out the battery. With the battery out it turned off once more. Thankfully all of these incidents happened while I was home (over the course of two days), or I would have lost all of my aquariums livestock (fish, corals and invertebrates, which have literally cost me thousands of dollars to procure).

Works flawlessly
I wasn't sure if I would like this power bar, but I actually love it. I have it attached to my two 30" computer displays, large powered studio speakers, and pro audio interface, so that I can switch everything off without turning off my computer. It works great! Saves a lot of electricity and keeps my office cooler by turning OFF my large displays (rather than putting them into STANDBY mode). My only complaint is that the remote looks and feels very cheap. It's very light and really doesn't look nice in a high-end studio environment, next to expensive equipment. It's like Fisher Price designed it. But it gets the job done.

Worked perfectly for 4 months.
We thought this product would solve an issue we had of turning a few lights on and off all at once. It worked perfectly, for 4 months. Now the unit turns the switchable power outlets on and off randomnly, with no input from the switch. The manufacturer will not honor a warrantly replacement or refund.
