GE Grounded On/Off Power Switch, Plug-In, White, Energy Efficient, Space Saving Design, UL Listed, 15A, 120VAC, 1800W, 25511

I have a pole lamp with three bulbs that each have their own on/off switch, but I mostly use it for room lighting and want all 3 lights on. It was getting tiresome having to always turn on 3 switches, then turn off 3 switches. I had an older outlet switch similar to this one but because of the orientation of the prongs, it wouldn't fit where this lamp is plugged in. So I was happy to see that they are being made in different orientations. This orientation worked perfectly for my lamp. It might not work perfectly for you - it all depends on your outlet and which side you want the on/off switch, so pay attention to that. Somebody complained either for this one or a similar one that the on/off positions are reversed from what they expect. I’m very much a creature of habit, and the on/off positions seem normal to me. If you want to be able to easily tell by a glance whether it’s on or off, I suggest marking it with Magic Marker, including on the side of the switch. When used for a lamp, it’s simple enough to feel for the side of the switch that is up and press it down. You don’t have to memorize which side is on and which side is off. It’s just a toggle. Press whichever side is poking up to switch it either on or off. These switches seem perfectly fine but I can't judge longevity at this point. The older ones I have, have lasted for decades, with mostly intermittent use and with low wattage items. I am expecting the same, we'll see.

Works good so far feels like it was made with quality components.

I got this for my partner because a lamp he uses by his favorite chair is awkward for him to turn off, especially since he has arthritis in his hands. We have an outlet very close on a bookcase near the lamp that we plugged this switch into. Sooo much easier for him to shut off the lamp. I may get more for other lamps!

Just what I needed for my hot water kettle. I was pulling the plug after each use as it would make noises while just sitting there. This looks good and makes it easy.

I bought these,and I say these because I have more than one, to shut the display off my coffee grinder after I use it. I mainly bought them because the switch on my lamp is hard to reach as it is on The wire and it's one of those that you have to roll to turn on the light and it is not very convenient. I have two lamps like that so I have this switch on each one which is plugged into my power strip and also my bathroom wall so that easy to access. If you had to plug it low on the wall behind furniture then you this is not for you unless you just want to leave it on 24/7. It is so easy to turn on my light now where I just flip the switch. the display on my coffee grinder light will last a lot longer so I can not only save the light but also electricity will be less as it is not constantly running.I'm sure you also could use it for a Christmas tree or Christmas lights. I think there are multi reasons that this is a very handy item to have in the house. I think it also could be good for handicapped or elderly to make it easier to turn on a light and again what only if this outlet is easily accessible as I have described. I did find a similar item although it was not GE in home Depot for a little less money. I bought one of those because I didn't want to wait for delivery but I do like that it is a name product such as GE which has a good reputation as far as I know. Try it you'll like it!

This is NOT a GE unit. It is a product by Jasco with Litesun stamped on the back. That’s false advertising. I’ll probably send back, but I’ll give it a shot since I need it today. UPDATE: these worked fine. I changed my stars.

Quite good as these devices go. A little pricey (here at least) and doesn't have an "On" indicator light. But other than that, quite serviceable. A few things I like about it: * When placed in a wall socket, the switch is up for on, down for off; like a wall switch. This makes it possible to tell if it's on or off from across the room. I prefer an indicator lamp for this job, one that stands out when you turn off the room lights as you leave the room to remind you you forgot something, but this is a pretty good second best. * In addition to the easy-to-remember switch position indication, on and off are indicated by molded-in on/off text by the switch and the switch rocker itself has a tactile bump on the on side. So if you're up close, it's easy to tell what you're doing and you could even turn it on or off in the dark I suppose :) (or perhaps behind something that blocks line of sight) * It has "finger grip" curves molded into the top and bottom of the case, allowing you to hold it securely in the wall socket when removing a plug. This is handy if you're using it for different items from time to time, as I do, on what's basically a test bench. * The build quality is high. The plastic is tough and the switch operation is decisive and sure. I don't think you could get the switch to stick in the middle if you tried. The switch actuation pressure is a good balance between so easy you could disturb it by brushing up against it and so hard you have to put your shoulder into it to generate the force to turn it on or off. Deliberate finger pressure does the job just fine. * The socket holds the plug blades firmly. So I'm confident it will hold up and not accidentally burn the house down. * I find the GE brand comforting. I know it's actually made in China, so call me a fool if you want, but the fact GE stakes its brand on the quality makes me think they're keeping an eye on what's coming out of the factory and that it's probably pretty darn reliable. * I don't need a lot of these, I only need the one. So paying a bit more for one I can count on indefinitely seems a good value to me.

Good quality switches and work well. Exactly what I wanted.

Excelente compra, cumplió años 100%. Recomendable.

These are great for on off toggle switches and I have many of them so I can leave items plugged in but off!

Love this switch. Wish I had known there was such a device a long time ago. We had a kettle that does not have a switch which meant we had to plug and unplug all the time. This switch make things so much easier. Device is small and easy to use. For the price, really worth it, especially when it came in a four pack.

Excelente prodcuto.

Good product. Easy to use.
