Purchased this item and Woods 13568. This is a single control unit that has a higher voltage and wattage ratings than the 13568 necessary for larger electrical items you may want to control. Easy to use and has worked great so far. If you order more than one, you might have problems with channels. Mine is programmed for Channel C which means there must be units with Channel A and Channel B. Ratings on this unit are 13Amp Resistive, 13A General Purpose and 1000 Watt Tungsten. Operational distance so far is about 90 feet. One good feature with Woods products as compared to some of the other like items is that they come with battery installed.

Out of the box my unit operated OK up to about 15 feet. Following one review I opened the unit, took the coiled antenna and wound it around the inside perimeter of the device. Now it worked up to about 20 feet. So I got brave, drilled a small hole, and pulled most of the antenna outside. Now I got a range of about 30 feet. Finally, I hooked about 50 feet of wire to the end of the antenna. Now I get a range of nearly 100 feet. A note to the manufacturer: How hard would it be to add a terminal for an optional extra antenna?

Two notes: If weather is an issue seal the hole; I don't believe that adding antenna length to a RECEIVER violates any FCC regulations.

I bought a couple of these to remotely control my Christmas lights in December, and my fountain pump in the Summer. They work great. I really like the separate on/off buttons as it makes it easy to know that I'm turning things on or off when I blindly point them out the window and press a button a couple of times.

I'm using it outside to remotely start and stop a 1/2 HP motor and it works fine.

I bought this so I could easily turn on the pump for my backyard waterfall. The pump had been plugged into an outdoor outlet, and I'd had to squeeze between the edge of the lower pool and the bushes, being careful not to dislodge any of the decorative rocks. The Woods outlet plugs into the one on the house wall, then the pump plugs into it. The handy keychain remote turns the power on and off. Works like a charm, even from inside the house.

I've seen other, more expensive products that serve this purpose they have more features. But this one does the only thing I need it to do, and it was inexpensive.
