I did initially have one very minor hiccup, which was very quick, simple, and easy to fix. I bought the model that comes with multiple plug units, all controlled separately through the same, hand-held remote clicker. The instructions say that -- as a customer convenience -- the manufacturer has pre-set the various buttons on the hand-held remote control to separately operate each of the numbered plug units. But either the manufacturer failed to pre-set the clicker to correspond to the numbered plug units on my particular order -- or, if they did, then the pre-sets were somehow lost when I installed the two plug units. However, if you follow the printed instructions, it only takes a few seconds to manually re-set the clicker to each of the plug units. You just press a button on the side of the plug unit, hold the button down for five seconds, and bingo!!! . . . it automatically flashes a light to tell you the re-set has been successful. Since doing this quick, manual reset on each of the plug units, it has worked flawlessly. I love it.
I suspect this problem with the factory pre-set may not have been just a one-time fluke, because I had precisely the same problem with the pre-sets when I ordered a second set of the multiple units. However, as I said, the problem is easily corrected in five seconds by following the written instructions. I do like the device very much. It's a HUGE convenience and has greatly simplified my life. Nice design.
CAUTION: If you use this device like I do to control the transformer for low-voltage outdoor lighting . . . and if that transformer has a built-in electric eye to turn the outdoor lights on at dusk and off at dawn, as mine does . . . you need to be aware that the electric eye on the transformer has a built-in 10-second delay to prevent it from being turned on by passing auto headlights. That 10-second delay will cause you to think the remote control isn't working, when actually it's working perfectly. Could that 10-second delay have caused me to think the factory preset on the remote control device wasn't working? That's possible. But, just to be sure, I would recommend that the manufacturer double-check outgoing devices to make certain the factory pre-set is being properly done on the assembly line -- to make certain my own experience wasn't just a fluke limited to me.
Like several other reviewers, I do wish the manufacturer -- if possible -- could redesign the plug units so that they don't cover BOTH plugs on the same wall outlet, making it difficult or impossible to plug a second appliance into the same wall outlet. It's the same overlap problem one encounters with the plug-type charging devices for so many cell phones and other electronic devices.
These outlets continued my fondness for Etekcity and their products. They were smartly packed in box that left no room for movement inside a box that provided adequate protection. Each outlet was wrapped carefully and neatly in a bubble wrap envelope. A small battery for the remote control was in a sealed jeweler's bag. Inside was a Christmas card thanking me for my purchase and wishing me well. There was also a small instruction booklet. I was able to plug in the outlet and something into it and program the remote within minutes. The remote can be programmed for all three outlets without having to memorize any fancy codes or procedures. There are on and off buttons for 3 devices that are well labeled. If I have one negative thing to say, it is that the remote is pretty small, slightly larger than a credit card, and uses a difficult to find 123A battery,; hopefully, Etekcity will develop a smartphone app as many television manufacturers have done. This complaint is minor and does not affect my enjoyment of the product, which I would order again and recommend to a friend without hesitation. If anything, it has confirmed my initial feelings toward Etekcity as a company with integrity, intelligence and innovation that cares about its customers and that I will certainly purchase merchandise from again. Unlike many reviewers, I did not receive a discount or free merchandise and this review is an unsolicited and honest opinion of my experiences with this company and its merchandise.

By the way, if you're comparing these outlets to the programmable ones, consider where these will be located. You will likely need to re-program programmable outlets after a power outage. Non-programmable ones are maintenance-free. I went with non-programmable ones because my outlets are 9ft above the floor and it would be a real pain to take out my ladder to reach them.
Pros:
- functions well
- has separate on/off buttons so you are not confused if you are turning something on/off in another room (without visual feedback)
- programable units - can turn multiple things on/off with one button
- range on remotes are ridiculously amazing - i can turn all the christmas lights on inside the house from outside my house
- comes with batteries
Cons:
- weird battery type is annoying
- unit is a bit bulky, may prevent you to use other outlet
