5.0 out of 5 stars Glad I had this!!, November 29, 2008

By	Rose-Lynne K. Osborn (Orlando, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

On our recent trip to Egypt and Jordan we stayed at the St. Catherine's Plaza Hotel in Jordan, the hotel was not very secure and had no added security locks or chains on the door. It was 7 am, I was just waking up when I heard steps coming up our staircase outside and then there was a key in our door and our door being unlocked. We had set the GE Smarthome Door alarm the night before and of course when they tried to enter our room the alarm went off scaring them away, I could hear them running very fast down the stairway. I am so glad I had bought this for our trip or we may have had an unwanted stranger in our room. I highly recommend this alarm!

5.0 out of 5 stars Affordable and Works Great!, January 30, 2008

By	starry_night - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

Even though I keep a gun next to my bed, it really bothered me that if someone managed to get into my house, I probably wouldn't wake up in time to get to it. (I'm a VERY deep sleeper and my bedroom's on the 2nd floor)

I'm so glad I decided to order this!

It's VERY loud and the 4 I ordered work on all my doors leading outside.

I even found a way to use this on my sliding glass door. By propping it gently against the sliding part of the door, and then putting something heavy behind it, to hold it in place, the alarm will go off if the door's opened.

Like the other reviewer said, I love that it's portable, so I can bring it with me to hotels and stuff.

Anyways, between how well it works, the simplicity of using it and the very reasonable price. I very highly recommend this!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy, portable, reliable , ear-piercing door stop alarm is perfect!, February 8, 2008

By	Love Good Service "Love Online Shopping" (Ft Collins, CO USA) - See all my reviews

Looking for an easy to use, reliable door entry alarm with no complicated mounting? Get the GE SmartHome Door Stop Alarm. You won't be disappointed. Afer batteries are activated, you're done. Just put by your door. So sensitive to pressure that I've often scared myself by picking it up the wrong way. (Pick it up by the sides only) Easy to take with you on trips and a perfect complement to the Door Jammer. Highly recommend.
