More Quality & Control needed before this product is ready.
By M. Cruz
Insight's Wireless Eggspert was to be their next generation in affordable game buzzer line. The concept is solid, as can be see by their Educational Insight Eggspert product, but it falls short on the transmitter to receiver end.
This product's main attraction is the wireless Answer Buttons (buzzers) which is specified to have a 20-30' range. Unfortunately the product was shipped to me with only 3 of the six Answer Buttons working fully and the other three working intermediately. Normally I would say this is just a product defect and requested an exchange, but in this case I also found out that when activated at the same time, only the blue buzzer would ring up. i.e. if more than one buzzer was pushed it didn't matter which on came in first if the blue buzzer was pushed within a couple of seconds of the others the blue buzzer would win out.
I think this product still has great potential but Insight needs to make sure their production line units all meet the same standards as the original wired version of this product. Until this happens I can't give this product any more that one star. Hopefully in a year this will improve and I can take back this review.

Wireless Eggspert review
By Meg
I was concerned about purchasing the wireless eggspert for my classroom because of the one bad review it received. I decided to go ahead and try it out and return it if it didn't work (even though I'd have to pay 6.50 for that). It's not the most durable thing so I hope no students toss it across the room or drop it too often. It works better the closer the buzzers are to the tower. However, I put fresh batteries in and tried it out. It seemed to work fine. As far as buzzer systems go, it's cheaper than others. I have no idea how long it will last, but it seems to do the job ok.

eggspert
By M. Huschle
My students love the eggspert. I used another teacher's last year that used the wires. I bought the wireless and after putting batteries in everything worked except the yellow button. I tried replacing batteries, pushing softly, then harder, nothing. I am now in the process of sending it back.
