Product review (3 stars): You get what you pay for.
First of all, the item description should state that this does NOT come with a cord to plug in.  It is meant to be wired up to work all the time.  I guess I will blame myself for not knowing this because I needed one so badly I did't read the reviews.  I just hope that once I recieve the cord instilation kit I have no more issues and can finally use it!  READ REVIEWS!
