You need to reprogram it if you unplug it for some reason. I consider this a disadvantage, but I don't know if the others on the market differ in this aspect. Also, a piece of advice, as soon as you get the user manual in your hands, throw it away so you don't get confused. You simply plug it in and press the on button of the number you want to assign to that specific socket. You have to do it within a few seconds when the device's light is blinking. When you see the remote control, you will understand. If you read the tragic instructions, you will spend about ten minutes trying to find the programming button that doesn't exist, and not only that.

OK, from the depths of China. The "contact protection" I assume is a joke.
You get what you pay for, but it gets the job done with relatively little money.

Instructions that require clairvoyant abilities.
After managing to program them, it's fine.
The programming button that it mentions and doesn't show where it is, is none other than ON 1, 2, or 3, depending on which number we want to assign to each socket. And it must be pressed immediately once we plug the socket into the power and the indicator light starts flashing. After that, no.
When the programming is done correctly, you can hear two clicks from the socket.

The remote control has a 4th button, to connect another set of sockets that you have purchased and possibly want to control with this remote control.
Don't forget to remove the protective film from the remote control battery before using it.

If you plug them into a regular power strip with vertical sockets, it will turn off the entire power strip with one socket. So be careful when choosing a power strip.

P.S. I bought it from Energy for 12.75 + 2 shipping. I didn't like the packaging. The components were loose inside their box, it had clearly been opened and the sockets were likely used. Nevertheless, they worked fine.
I bought the second set for 12.75 + 2 shipping as well. The packaging was sealed and the sockets were clearly unused.

EDIT: I have bought 3 sets. Slowly, one socket says goodbye to us.
I turn one on from the remote control and it turns off by itself after a while. The other two are dead, they lasted a year or two. With a light load, I have lights connected to them.
They might need a battery (CR2032) but I don't have a screwdriver for the screw they have.
I will come back when I open it.

I'm back. I opened it. The photo showing that they have a battery is misleading. There is no battery inside.

  Unfortunately, I bought 2 sets and both of them do exactly the same thing. I wouldn't recommend them. They are a bit dangerous in the way they react to power outages. Instead of turning on normally when the power is restored, they flash twice, which means that any device connected to them turns on and off twice. This is prohibitive for expensive devices and not only... turntables, amplifiers, etc

  Amazing set with 3 wireless sockets without needing WIFI or Bluetooth, simply with the remote control you can open and close very quickly all three that it has inside. Definitely value for money and quality construction. Simply plug the socket into the outlet, then press the button, for example 1 on, and it synchronizes immediately and nothing more. I tried it by unplugging the socket and putting it in another place and it didn't lose its programming. I highly recommend it for economy and ease of use. It writes up to 2500 watts, the maximum power that you can connect devices such as power-hungry heaters.

  It does not always respond with the first press. Because I have tried other remote controls, I can say that this one lacks a bit in terms of the immediacy of command transmission. However, its price is such that one overlooks any drawbacks. So far, I have purchased 3 sets and they do their job decently, even if sometimes they are delayed. However, if you want to use it professionally or for critical applications, especially for commands that will be given to it via Wi-fi, I would not recommend it to you, not even as a joke.

  One of the three broke after 18 months, the second one broke after 24 months. All of this with casual use, not even daily and with 1-2 on/off each time.

  It works fine. I put one in the radiator that draws a lot of current without any problem. It's worth the money. It is also the cheapest solution for this type of remote switch.

  Very easy to connect, synchronization was immediate. The negative aspect is that it requires synchronization again if the power goes out or if you unplug it from the socket. Ideal for Christmas lights that I need it for.

  They work from a distance, but when they are unplugged, they need to be programmed again. It's easy, but I can't use them because I want to use them in a space where I turn off the power when I leave. I have made a review on YouTube where I describe and set them up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ub9bpuMgCxs&ab_channel=EmpnoiaCraftsandDIY

  I bought it to flash some Christmas lights so that I wouldn't have to bend down behind the tree or climb up high, and it saved me. Now I will use it for some decorative lights so that we don't have to bend down there either.
  It is very easy to use and I like that it has a general button to turn them all on (3 sockets together) and turn them off at once.
  However, you need to first plug it in and then press the button to synchronize it. It's logical but the absence of the relevant instructions confused me a bit at first until I found it. I would recommend it as it is also value for money. Killing three birds with one stone.
