Awesome February 18, 2013
Reviewer: Darin Beaudreau from North Oxford, MA United States  
It was really easy to assemble, although because of my large hands and relative inexperience with soldering, it took me well over an hour to assemble. I found that it doesn't work on my dad's TV, but works on the other TVs in the house, so it might need to have some codes added to it. I'm sure I'll come up with all sorts of nefarious purposes for this.

great kit March 18, 2011
Reviewer: Darren from Indiana, United States  
i found out about this on youtube. I found where to buy it and and ordered it that night. it took 7 days to arrive. Only complaint is that I am new to all this so the soldering spots were pretty tight.

Reviewer: Sean Barr from High Springs, FL United States  
Pretty awesome, but you can make your own with an Arduino and an infrared LED.

So much fun! March 8, 2010
Reviewer: Mike from VISALIA, CA United States  
This is actually the very first thing I've ever soldered, and even being nervous, it came out just fine.  The remote works perfectly, I've even gotten it to work from about 100 feet away!  Great toy!

Disclaimer: some of my best friends are lame too February 23, 2010
Reviewer: jim chandler from highland, MD United States  
I loved putting this together, and especially enjoyed reading the included pamphlet on social skills.  Do you sell Hacker-B-Gone also?  I think it comes in a spray can.  o-m-f-g.. get a life people.

Fun & Even A Little Educational January 26, 2010
Reviewer: Johnny Rexroad from San Diego, CA United States  
Put this together in less than an hour and it works great. I'm no expert at soldering, so fair warning to other novices: the soldering pads are pretty small, so I'd recommend using a fine-point soldering iron and some narrow gauge solder. A brief description is given for each part & its function in the instructions, so beginners can learn some. It works from long distance (at least 75 ft) and really does turn off nearly all TVs. It doesn't seem to work through many windows, especially store windows (they're usually filtered) and it needs a case, but designing one is part of the fun. Highly recommended for the curious prankster.

Loads of Fun December 31, 2009
Reviewer: Imaginable from CO. United States  
Amazingly fun device! I don't soldier often, and it was pretty quick to put together. I mounted the board a little further back on the battery pack to protect the LED's and it still works well. I also wrapped the unit in foam paper then black electrical tape so that I can put the unit in and out of my pocket quickly. (I don't want to get banned from the bars and restaurants) I tried putting a second device in a large old cell phone housing, (to be able to aim conspicuously) but no joy. If any one has a clever enclosure that works without redesigning the whole thing, I am all ears. I am about to buy two more for friends!

Great kit - works as it should... May 5, 2008
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from United States  
I purchased this kit a few weeks ago and received it rather promptly.  Took me maybe 30 minutes of soldering and assembly time - it was very easy and fun.

Short of it all - the product DOES work as advertised.  I was able to hit various TVs from distances up to 150 feet as long as you aim it.   Works on most if not all store ones, mall ones, restaurant ones, arcade machines, etc. etc. etc. ;)

Here's the only downside.  Because the kit is so "exposed" - I highly recommend it being mounted in something or put into some sort of protective casing.  The LEDs can become unadjusted as well as some of the other components on the board can be bent very easily.  I'm rather delicate on mine - however I still ended up having to replace one of the components because it bent right off.
