    This was bought based on Brand name as we had one before. Not that great, but saves having to get the main vacuum out for small crumb pick ups.

    I mainly use these (and the Insignia Alarm Clock) to control lighting throughout my house. I also though use them to control the TV on the patio that is Chromecast built-in only (no other smart TV interface/STB device), to check weather and to do math equations quickly. I can't live without these anymore.
