PARK ZONE PRECISION PARKING DEVICE

by Park-Zone

Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Park-Zone is an innovative precision-parking device for the home that's easy to use and even easier to install. After a simple one-time setup, the Park-Zone uses its ultrasonic sensing mechanism to measure the distance from your car to the garage wall as you park. When you pull into the garage, you see the green light illuminate, then midway it changes to yellow, and when the light turns red you're right where you want to be. In our book, this beats a tennis ball hanging on a string because it's a lot easier to set up, it's much more precise, and, unlike the tennis ball, it looks good in a garage. Anyone who parks in a small or crowded garage will appreciate the accuracy this gadget offers. The Park-Zone operates on four AA batteries batteries. Stop bumping the back wall and get into the Park-Zone. --Brian Trinen

4.0 out of 5 stars Me Park Good Now, July 15, 2001

I have poor depth perception and am simply crappy at judging how close to the wall I am when pulling into the garage. Before installing the Park Zone device, I had tried a few other strategies to prevent bumper bumpage in my tiny garage. A tennis ball hanging from a string did not work, as my dog is a tennis ball freak and was constantly jumping up and chomping on it; parking ramps did not work as I would miss them with my wheels and bump the wall anyway. So I gave Park Zone a try after seeing it plugged on a home improvement show I like called Michael Holigan's Your New Home. With the help of my wife, who did not need the device really, as she can park within a gnat's...distance from the wall by sight, we installed the device in a few minutes. I then got behind the wheel and tested it out. Perfect! Within a gnat's...distance from the wall when the light turned from green to red. Why do I give it only four out of five stars? Because it is battery-powered, and not solar-powered as I would prefer. I realize that little sun gets into my garage, but I would be happy to mount a solar panel on top of the garage.

What can I say other than 'it works great.' Very easy to install and setup. Simply park you car where you want it and press a button -- the park-zone will remember this location and signal you to stop whenever you pull in to that spot again. Took about 4 minutes to hang and setup. Batteries last a long time -- and in a very hot garage, too. I love it.
