Cheap and worthlessby lsandrsn - December 9, 2006
Pros: Nice changable face plate colors
Cons: Stopped working within 6 months
Review:
It worked great - briefly. Then it started having issues and finally stopped working altogether. Replacing the batter doesn't help. I don't recommend this product unless it's priced cheaply and you only need for a short period of time.
