I spent a lot of time researching remote controlled sockets before purchasing these and I can confirm that they are simply the best on the market. The main reasons for this are the fact that, unlike many others (check before you get caught out), these can handle up to 13A. The second reason is the remote control is compact, has proper solid push buttons and has separate buttons for ON & OFF, which again many others don't have. Thirdly there is an LED on the remote to indicate that you have actually pressed the button and there is an LED on the socket to indicate if it is on. Fourthly there in a manual override button the sockets themselves so if you have left the remote somewhere and you are by the socket and want to switch it off, you can at the touch of a button. Also, you can purchase additional sockets and remote controls if you need them.

These are by far the best remote plugs I've ever used. They may be more bulky than some, but they're far more reliable than others, particularly the first model of 'Bye Bye Standby' for example, which fails for no apparent reason.
They are easy to programme to each switch, and you can have more than one programmed to one switch position if required. Re-programming each socket is really easy if needed. The addition of an on/off switch on the socket is a bonus that some other units don't have.
I also have the Energenie Trailing Gang with Four Radio Controlled Surge Protected Sockets. This has the same remote handset, yet does not interfere with the individual sockets. So if you have this four socket set and the trailing socket you have eight different channels you can switch independently.
It's also worth mentioning that these sockets can handle a maximum current of 13A and a maximum load of 3kW, many other remote sockets only go up to 4A and 1kW.
This is definitely my remote switching socket set of choice - I have gone through over 5 different makes in the past ten years, ...this make wins hands down.

A couple of issues I had with the Energie Radio Controlled Sockets:
1: The setup instructions are divided into two sections, "First Time Installation" and "To Program a Different Button Into Memory". I went with First Time Installation on the not unreasonable premise that I'd bought a new system. I got nowhere - none of the Radio Controlled Sockets responded to the remote control no matter what I tried. The remote control lights lit up with each key press, but the sockets were all dead. So I then tried the second set of instructions, even though they appear to be for reprogramming sockets that have already been used. Anyway, that worked fine, so I would suggest, even if you think your kit is new, that you do the same: Instructions a) and b) in the second set, then Instructions 3, 4 and 5 from the first set. Worked fine.
2: The other problem was that the sockets don't work reliably if they are too close together. I had intended to have three of them in a 4-gang extension lead but, unlike my old Brennenstuhl kit, they were all over the place. I did some experimenting and concluded that the Energie sockets need to be a centimetre or more apart for reliable working. New extension lead required!
