Customer Reviews

Excellent!
I already bought the "starter kit" with 1 remote and 3 4-amp sockets. I have since purchased these 13 amp sockets and a couple more remotes.
This is an excellent product, and a great idea.
I have several TV/DVD/Audio sytems and my computer peripherals run off gang-sockets.
With these systems I can quickly switch everything off and avoid stand-by. They are relatively small and slimline, nice price compared to "intelligent gang sockets", and far less obtrusive.
The "programming" combination options are great also.
I wish I could find more things to use them with!!!!

High power are units are unreliable
The basic Bye Bye Standby product is great and works very well. However these high power versions are very unreliable. I bought 3 starter packs and 2 high power sockets. All the stnadrd rating sockets are working fine but both the high power sockets have failed (one is stuck on, the opther is stuck off). So stick with the basic items and you'll be fine.

These are just so good
I have been using these wireless sockets for several months and they are reliable and easy to set up and use.I was shocked to find that my microwave was consuming 65W on standby-but the socket is hard to reach - not any more! With these plug in sockets you can choose to turn off everything as a 'group' or each individually - you can get a PIR to switch on lights when you enter the house or wireless switches stuck to any wall - they are so versatile and pays for themselves so quickly. There is even a small keyfob extra that can turn on/off all your lights or whatever as you enter/leave your house.
100% recommended and can save a lot of standby costs!
PS this is heavy duty socket - start with a set likeBye Bye Standby Energy Saving Remote Control Kitand add this to the system - or just a remote control!
