2.0 out of 5 stars Does not do well with auto-defrost freezers, January 7, 2005

Auto-defrost refrigerators/freezers cycle their temperature between 0 degrees F and above 25 degrees F. Unfortunately, this alarm doesn't accomodate the cycle resulting in false alarms. The owners manual offers a cop-out solution, "wrap the sensor in foam". OK -- so how does one calibrate the sensor and know that it is set properly? It would take a lot of trial an error, adding foam, removing foam . . . who has time for that? It needs a switch where the consumer can pick the alarm temperature.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works great for top load freezers no so much on regular fridge/freezer combo, August 18, 2007

Like the title reads, this works great for a top load freezer. When the fuse tripped in our basement we lost a lot of food when we discovered the mess five days later. I bought this and the next time the fuse tripped, it was only a matter of hours, not days. Sounds like a cheap bedside LED alarm clock beeping, irritating and loud enough to make you wonder what's going on. So I bought one for the garage fridge/freezer combo which we use in the summer. This did not work out as well, since it's gone off a few times when the power was fine to the garage unit. SO I would only recommend this for a top loader freezer that doesn't cycle as much as a smaller kitchen model. It has a set cold limit and it not programmable. But it's cheap and effective in most cases. If you're a hunter and store lots of meat in your freezer, this is a worthwhile investment.

This was just the type device I wanted so I will be warned if the basement GFI kicks out and my freezer gets too warm. I just purchased $800 worth of products and it would be a tragedy if it all thawed. The alarm sound is noticable on the first floor but only if background noise (TVs, etc.)is low. This simple unit is worth the cost.
