(More customer reviews)I bought this device to be warned if I lost power to my refrigerator and it works perfect. My refrigerator is plugged in to a GFI outlet that on more than one occasion has had the test button bumped in to resulting in no power to my refrigerator. This small device was "cheap insurance" in lieu of replacing an entire refrigerator worth of food.
It was very simple to set up...I dropped a battery in, plugged it in, and then plugged my refrigerator in the piggy-back style plug and all was ready to work. For my installation I used a little Velcro on the back and hid it on the side of fridge where nobody can see anyway.
One problem I did experience is that it immediately went in to "alarm mode" - even though the unit had power!
I quick look inside the revealed a disconnected terminal to the relay (not a big deal for me, but to someone less technical it would have meant a return to the manufacturer). I made the connection and it now works as expected. I guess I got "that one" made on a Friday at 4:59PM LOL!
However this mishap did afford me the opportunity to look closer at the internals of the product and from a technical standpoint it is very well constructed and above average in quality. Overall build is "commercial grade" (or close to it).
The alarm is quite loud and would be great for a second fridge or freezer tucked in the basement or garage etc.
I have tested it a few times and the unit continues to be ready to alert me should my refrigerator lose power again. A brief power outage also confirmed it remains ready to do it's job.
Overall - quite satisfied! 4 stars only because of the little connection issue. If you have something that should always have power and need to know when it doesn't this is the right product for the job.
