I had extremely low expectations for this device. In fact, I bought it primarily for the funnel and tube, so we would not have to climb under the Christmas tree to water it. The notification device was a possible bonus in my mind because I knew it would likely not work. However, we did install it as instructed. (It works completely independently of the tube and funnel. It could be used by itself, as could the tube and funnel.)
Much to my delight, it has worked very nicely. There is some type of light sensor on it – I guess it is so when you walk into the room or turn on the light, it will let you know if the tree needs water or not. However, it also might work on vibrations. Because we did get a few times when it seemed to randomly chime to let us know the water was at a good level. (Maybe the water was very close to the full level, and our footsteps activated it.) Mostly, though, it worked as expected-as we filled the water, it would chime and we would stop. Occasionally we would hear Jingle Bells playing. We would add water to the funnel until we heard the chime, and life is good again.
At first, we did check the levels when watering, when each alert sounded, and at other times with no sounds, to make sure it was accurate. (It would be silly to rely completely on the gadget and have our tree dry out and potentially ignite.) It has seemed to be very accurate, and took some of the stress away from, ”Did we water the tree? Did you forget to water the tree?” The funnel also does make it nice to be able to fill the tree from a standing position instead of creeping under the tree and crawling through dropped needles.

Tree duties!
It works! I was skeptical at first. Imagine pouring and pouring, only to find out the chime did not work, or it was not setup correctly. This item requires a lot of common sense. Don’t sell yourself short.The only issue I ran into were the creases on the tube. The flow was just too slow and if the needles got into the funnel forget about it, it literally clogged at the first/top crease. I tried to heat the tube straight with a hair dryer but that did not work. What actually worked were zip ties. I had some laying around and zip tied each crease until the creases disappeared. The flow is so strong now, I can hear the air sucking down the tube every time I stop pouring.Take a look at my picture. Hope this helps the other reviewers with this problem.
