This is my first review ever and I am writing it after being an Amazon.com customer for years. The reason for my decision to write this review is that I never ever was so annoyed and frustrated with a piece of equipment like with this one. I own it for about a year. First it worked OK, more or less. What I mean, it always switched off whatever it supposed to switch off. With switching on it was a different story. Right from the beginning I had to click the "on" button several times and aim it like a sniper. As time passed, I had to get up and come closer and closer to the base for it to be switched on. (Yes, I did replace battery). Finally, it came to the situation when "remote" was not remote anymore. I could as well just turn the switch on manually. So I just threw the SVAT in the garbage bin and that, in my opinion where it belongs.
